THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1916.
SOCIETY
TO THE DISTANT ONE.
Through wild byways I come to you,
my love,
Nor ask I those I meet the sorest
way;
What way I turn I cannot go astray
And miss you in my life. Though fata
may prove .
A tardy guide, she will net make
delay,
Leading me through strange seas and
, distant lands. '
I'm coming still, though slowly, to
your hands,
Well meet one day.
There is so much to do, so little done
In my life's space that I perforce
did leave
Love at the moonlit trysting place
to grieve
Till fame and other little things were
won.
Much have I lost that I shall not
retrieve,
Far shall I wander yet with much
to do,
Much I shall spurn before I yet meet
you,
So fair I can't deceive.
Your name is in the whispers of the
woods,
Like Beauty calling for a poet's
song
To one whose harp has suffered
many a wrong
In the lean hands of pain. But when
the broods
Of flower eyes waken all the
streams along,
In tender whiles, I feel most near to
you.
O when we meet there shall be sun
and blue,
Strong as the spring is strong.
F. Ledwidge (Lance Corporal), in
London Spectator.
DOMESTIC ART
AND SCIENCE EXHIBIT.
As one of the series of public func
tions of the commencement exercises
of the Florida State College for Wom
en, was an attractive exhibit showing
work done in the home economics de
partment, and the art department of
the college, and also an exhibit show
ing the work done in the training
school during the year.
The work of the freshmen class of
the college in domestic art was ex
hibited in the class room on, the first
floor of the administration building.
This work consisted mainly of lingerie
work. At 10:45 the exhibition of
dresses "promenade des toilettes" was
held in the auditorium.'' This was pre
sented in a novel way. A large
"vogue" 7x5 feet, was placed on the
stage, the cover was most attractive;
having been decorated by the students
of the rt department. As the cover
was opened, the girls of the sophomore
and junior classes appeared in the
dresses they had made during the last
semester. Miss Harriet Brandon in a
clever manner told of the work of the
year and introduced the girls, as the
cover was turned back, two girls ap
. pearing each time. Evening and white
lingeries dresses were shown first,
then afternoon dresses and coat suits,
tn all about eighty-five models were
displayed. After the exhibit the
"models" adjourned to the lower hall
where the guests had an opportunity
of viewing the work at closer range
The girls received many congratula
aons upon the year's work.
An interesting part of the program
was a talk by Miss Ollie Henderson
i graduate in home economics this
year, on "Home Economics at the
Florida State College for Women."
Miss Henderson gave in an interesting
RTay an outline of her four years
course in the household arts and at
the close of her talk said: "As my
college days draw to a close, looking
back over the past and looking for
ward into the future, I feel that my
course in home economics at the
Florida State College for Women has
placed in my hands the key of home
happiness for the girls I am to teach
and when in turn I shall establish my
own little world of a home where
shall grow old and die, I shall be bet
ter able to discharge the duties and
to enjoy the pleasures which will come
to me as a member of the great pro
fession of home-making.
Throughout the exhibit the girls of
the second year cooking class dem
onsrratea tne cooKing or various
Wishes and served punch to the visit
ors m attendance.
In the dietetics exhibit was a table
showing the amounts of typical food
to be had for one cent. In the fine
arts studies tlieiv "-ns an interesting
exhibit of work 4 by the class in
interior decoration, in the dining room
four attractively laid tables were
shown, each table containing one
course of a luncheon. Hundreds of
visitors were out to see these exhibits.
A DELIGHTFUL
EVENING AT SPRING HILL.
Miss May Curtis,. who is spending
the month of June with friends, at
Spring Hill, entertained at tea last
evening at beautiful Marston home,
where, amid the flowers and stately
old trees, the cool of the evening was
delightfully spent. Included in Miss
Curtis' thoughtful attention, were,
Mrs. Nancy Clarke and daughter,
Miss Mildred Clarke, of Chicago; the
guests of Mrs. George Stanard, who
conveyed the party in her automobile
and the Misses Nettie and Mary
Chandler, who so thoroughly enjoyed
a taste of the pleasure, which they
so beautifully and faithfully chronic
al of others. The luncheon was served

Mae Marsh, Young, Beautiful, Beloved of Film Fandom, Says
She'll Wait Till She's Thirty, Anyway, Before She Ac
quires a Husband.
OW do you like this idea for
arranging your life: Get all
your work done in your
youth; grab fame firmly and
hold on to it till you s re middle aged,
then marry and rear a family, releas
ing fame from your grasp and finding
joy in a quiet, secluded country home?
Not so bad, you say, for some book
ish individual who isn't attractive any
how and hasn't a chance at the sweets
of life? But utterly preposterous for
anybody the gods hare favored with
beauty and talents, vivacity and
charm. ,
Very well. Now I give you three
guesses as to who has laid out this
life program for herself. No, it's not
a female professor of . mathematics;
not a writer on "The Parallelism Be
tween Morphology and Characterol
ogy;" not even a suffragette; but a
very lovely young person by the name
of Mae Marsh, idol of 2,000,000 screen
fans the girl who figures so thrilling
ly in "The Birth of a Nation," running
for her life through thj landscape and
plunging off the cliff to escape her pur
suer! "
Too Busy For Loo Affairs.
Yes, sir. Little Mae Marsh, the blue
eyed, the golden haired, the adored,
the flattered, the puniued. The girl
whom David Griffith calls the Bern
hardt of the movies because she puts
more electrical temperament into ten
feet of film than lots of 'em do in ten
thousand. The girl who has no "up
stage" manner, no airs, no egotism, no
fur topped boots, no lip rouge.
If that time old question of per
sonality and the stage is still up for
discussion those of the opposing side
are lucky not to see Miss Marsh if
they are. bent on keeping up their
end of the argument, for at the first
glance and after a minute's conver
sation any one must recognize that
this girl from California is the rep
iica of the loving, lovable, earnest,
playful little sister immortalized in
Mr. Griffith's great civil war play. In
the first place, she is scarcely older
than that, even now, when she is
within hailing distance of her twen
ties. There is the same dignity that just
escapes being primness and that same
pontaneity and vivacity, that same
lternaf'- "iression and expression
f emo. ant make the girl of the
ioon s.j acioraDie aaa tnat go so
in Miss Marston's usual good taste
and needless to say, cor sisted of many
delicious dainties, in the making of
which she excels. The party returned
at a late hour loath to break the
charm of such a delightful evening.

GARDEN PARTY
FOR BRIDE-ELECT.
An out-door settinir was riven the
courtesy extended Mis.s Harriet Bar
bara Whitson yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. William Herrider, at her suburb
an home on North Hill. A dozen
friends shared the afternoon's pleas
ure, the green lawn of the Herrider
home, with its vines and shade trees
making a delightfully refreshing spot
where the music of the Victrola was
enjoyed, and games amused the
guests.

deal of amusement, Miss Waite and

far in the making of one of the most
splendidly developed climaxes that have
characterized any play on stage or
screen in a long, long time.
There is apparently no pretense
about Miss Marsh. Quiet and unas
suming, she nevertheless Is fully ap
preciative of the advantages that have
been hers without depreciating the
qualities in herself that have impelled
her to make the "most of those advan
tages. And when one has that sense
so well developed and the ability she
so evidently has to weigh possibilities
and limitations impartially, even
though they be her own, it is an in
valuable asset
"Most people think love and mar
riage belong exclusively to youth,"
says she. "Now I know better. Youth
is the time to work. You can't work
when your mind is on love affairs.
"Of course for some women mar
riage is a career. Then it's all right to
go into it young and make a success of
It Just as a man makes a success of his
business or an actor goes after fame in
his profession.
"But for me NOT! I've watched my
sisters in their love affairs and mar
riages, and, believe me, it fills their
lives. There isn't room for any other
career.
"Why isn't It better to put all your
energy when you're young into work
that will leave you free at thirty-five
to take up something entirely different
and use a whole new set of talents and
interests? Won't I be a better wife
and mother at thirty or thirty-five than
I would be at twenty?
Expects Wisdom Later. '
"in oraer to De successrui in any
money earning career you must have
energy, youth, sparkle. You don't need
wisdom especially. But you do need it
to be a good wife and mother. Don't
you see I'm right?"
Miss Marsh could make yoa see any
thing, she's that earnest and full of
what Jimmie would call "punch."
It is to that quality she owes her
quick rise to stardom from the humble
position of "extra girl" out on the
coast. However little she had to do,
she managed to put "pep" into it.
Her motto seems to have been, "What
ever you do do it with vim, no matter
if you do have to lie down with the
smelling salts under your nose and
wet towel on your head afterward."
"All my life I've realized that in or-

The guest prize was a dainty white
and silver fan. When the bride's cake
was cut each guest found attached to
the cake a white Isatin badge, Miss
Everhart drawing the lucky ribbon to
which was attached a ring, indicating
the next bride-to-be.
Punch and an ice course were
served on the lawn, after which jn the

pleasure of hearing several beautiful

film lady. "I used to spank my dolls j
energetically. I used tt do everything!
'as hard as I could.' When I left school
to be an 'extra girl' in Mr. Griffith's
company five years ago how my class
mates sneered!
She'll Be Gay at Sixty.
"Now those very same girls, many of
them married and the mothers of chil
dren, shower me with notes of admira
tion, inviting me to all sorts of social
functions. But if there's anything on
this earth I can't bear it is society do
ings. "Pink teas, dog shows,' tango parties
and receptions are my idea of nothing
to do. Maybe when I'm sixty I'll de
vote myself to dress, dances and dinner
parties. But for now give me sensible
togs, lots of work and a typewriter to
compose plays on and I ask nothing
more.
"I am in my right sphere," she says,
"and so, naturally, I am happy. I never
have gone through the shifting process
of so many girls who are set to earn
their own living, going from one kind
of occupation to another, because, you
see, I knew exactly what' I wanted to
do and I made for it, although" laugh
ing "goodness knows it took some
courage, . or, rather, it would nave
taken courage, had I been of a waver

She is still frail looking and still slen

some of that pretty creature's charac

movements, alertness, and when she is
off guard, when she forgets she is be
ing interviewed, when she is not con
stantly reminded by the whispers and
stares of passersby that she is a hero
ine of the films, she is entirely natural.
Apropos of that, she says it Is on the
screen that she is really her most natu
ral self and that it is in conventional
life she finds herself acting.
"I suppose," she says, "that sort of
subconsciously I have the idea that I
must show a difference in my manner.
but I have done so much of the picture
work and so thrown myself heart and
soul into it that it is really difficult for
me to separate myself from it."
"But" with the little quizzical look
that suggests laughter and tears and
other things at the same time "I sup
pose It's that way with every one who
makes any sort of success out of what
he undertakes, though my work is
really nothing more than play to me,
because I am so enthusiastic about it.
I shall be perfectly content to be a
moving picture actress all my days;
that is" hastily "provided I can con
tinue to live in California.
"I wrote Mr. Griffith that Rockefel
ler has nothing on me."
Mae Marsh sent a gay little glance
across the top of a glass of raspberry

"Then it pays to be a motion picture
actress ?"
"It pays so well that the first week I
worked at it I wouldn't speak to any
of the girls I had gone to school with."

MISS MONTANARI
VISITING HER PARENTS.
Miss Amelia Montanari is tlie guest
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Monta
nari, and family, at their bayshore
home. Miss Montanari was called
from Chicago, where she is studying
voice, by the illness of her mother,
whose condition was pronounced much
improved yesterday. She will remain
in Pensacola for about a month and
will find awaiting her that cordial
welcome which is always hers.
MEETING OF THE NURSES'
REGISTRY ASSOCIATION.
The Nurses' Registry Association
will meet this afternoon at the State
Laboratory, on North Palafox street,
and it is hoped that all members will
attend the meeting.
"Three dollars a day. I was sixteen.
I had gone into the studio where my
older sister was posing, and when she
wasn't looking I applied for a job.
They told me to come back and see Mr.
Griffith. I did, and got a" job. So you
see it isn't true that Mr. Griffith saw
me playing about the studio and saw
possibilities of an actress in me. I saw
him working at the studio and saw my
future possibilities in him."
Then she ceased jesting and became
a serious young person, as she is
well, half the time. That she can be
tremendously serious every one who
has seen the little Southern girl in
"The Birth of a Nation" knows. Ma
Marsh looked as pensive as any pic
tured Madonna when she spoke of tha
tragic picture.
"I did the three scenes my flight, my
fall on the rocks and my death scene a;
home in one afternoon," she said.
"What an afternoon's work that was:
I went home and went straight to bed
without dinner. I couldn't eat And I
stayed in bed right round the clock,
twelve hours, to catch up in the race
with my strength. Walter Long, the
young man who plays the villain, is a
good friend of mine and a dear, nice
chap, but when I looked over my shoul
der and saw him, his face blackened,
rushing toward me I looked down the
big rock and was really ready to jump
from fright."
"But about you and Mr. Rockefel
ler?" I urged.
The California girl who has be
come so great a favorite in the pic
tures and who, D. W. Griffith predicts,
will become a still greater one, sat
primly In her chair and tried to look
pompous. It was an effort that failed.
Her face broke into an eddy of smiles
anQ aimpies.
"I'm on a vacation," she said proudly,
"I was allowed to come away for a
month, on salary, too, just as though 1
were working. Having the salary while
not working, I spent it I had automo
biles and flowers and went about shop
ping and sightseeing. We stayed .at
Brown's Palace, Denver. Mr. John D.
Rockefeller was staying there. My
automobile drew up behind his at the
curb. It was"as fine as his. I ate in
the same dining room as he. One day
I sat at the table next to his."
She drew her face into solemn lines
to make me believe she was profoundly
impressed by her proximity to the mul
timillionaire of the mining troubles.
But she was not in the least impressed.
If ever a girl belonged to the democ
racy of those who do it is Mae Marsh.
But she overflowed with the spirits of
twenty, and her vacation was an event
of huge importance to her, as little
events are when we are not big in
years.
"Suppose you tell me something
about Mae Marsh for those who want
to know more about her?"
"I began that is, I was born in
Madrid, New Mexico. My father was
auditor of the Santa Fe Railroad and
we lived in a lot of places while I
was little. My earliest recollection Is
of sitting on the cabin floor in a Mexi
can cabin and eating tortillas. Moth
er says I spoke Mexican beautifully,
only no one at home could under
stand me.
"I have a very vivid recollection of
the San Francisco earthquake. I was
at school at the Sacred Heart Convent
Something heavy came crashing down
upon me. I cried: 'Oh, don't! Don't,
sister! I won't do It again.' I thought
one of the sisters was spanking me.
We were taken into the yard, and aft
er an hour and a half mother came for
us. She had walked across San Fran
cisco to get us. We lived in a tent. I
thought that was lots of fun. Mother
paid $25 the first day for food. The
next we didn't have anything to eat.
We lived out of doors for three days
in Golden Gate Park. I saw a man
shot for stealing a drink of water.
Then we moved to Los Angeles.
My sister went into moving pictures,
and I followed her. That was four
years ago, when I was sixteen. The
first work that won recognition for
me was Applepie Mary in 'Home,
Sweet Home.' I am the mother now
in The Mother and the Law,' or 'Tol
erance.' It is not quite certain what
it will be called. I am a mother at
the same age I am now, twenty. It
is being taken over again after we
worked on it a year. Mr. Griffith
wasn't satisfied with it He is a most
wonderful man, a genius. We players
call him father. He calls us children."
The conversation shifted to faith,
finally to faith in prayer.
"When I have prayed for anything I
have always gotten it" again Mae
Marsh was seriousness itself "provid
ed I was good.

11 PROCESSES
IN MANUFACTURE
GOOD WOOD PULP
GOVERNMENT BULLETIN TELLS
OF SEVENTY DIFFERENT VA
RIETIES WHICH MAY BE EAS
ILY MADE.
Washington, June 8. That satis
factory wood pulp can be made from
a number of heretofore little known
woods is evidenced by a government j
publication just issued, which con- j
tains seventy samples of paper man- j
ufactured by different processes, j
rliipflv frnm woods Vierptoforp nrnrt.i- I
cally unused for this purpose.
It is pointed out that the spruce '
forests of the country are threat
ened with exhaustion, and that the
cost of spruce pulp wood has steadily
increased. If the price of newsprint
paper is to be kept at a reasonable
figure, say the experts, more efficient
methods of converting spruce into
pulp must be developed or cheaper
woods substituted for it
The bulletin goes on to sav that
the method of manufacturing ground
wood pulp has changed very little.
since its introduction into this coun
try in 1867. It was with the idea of
developing new methods and improv
ing the old that tests were under
taken at the forest service laborato
ries at Wausau and Madison, Wis. As
a result, the relation of the different
steps in the manufacturing process
to each other has been definitely es
tablished and the merits of each
treatment determined. The paper
made from new woods was given a
practical tryout by two large news
papers with satisfactory results.
I he tests showed that eleven new
woods give promise of being suitable
for the production of news print
paper, while a number of others will
produce manila paper and boxboards.
Most of these woods are, confined to
the west, while the ground-wood in
dustry now obtains the bulk of its
raw material from the east. It is
thought that pulp-making plants must
eventually move to points where tney
can obtain a plentiful supply of wood
and an abundance of cheap water
power, two prime requisites in the
business.
The experts say that because the
national forests contain immense
quantities of the suitable woods and
abundant opportunities for power de
velopment, they will undoubtedly play
an important part in the future of
the wood pulp industry. '

HIIG TRIP
HENRY ANDERSON EXPECTS TO
BE HOME IN SHORT TIME
FROM REGIONS OF CANNIBALISM.
His relatives here are following the
movements of the Norwegian ship
Maela with much attention, for 14-year-old
Henry Anderson is on board,
and has been traveling the seas for
the past year. At present the Maella
is enroute to Philadelphia from Bue
nos Ayres, and upon reaching the
American port, young Anderson will
quit sea life and come on home to
Pensacola by rail.
For over a year the good ship, with
the local youth aboard, has been mak
ing a specialty of long voyages. Ship
ping, for adventure, at Pensacola
about a year ago, and when Captain
Jensen took a fancy to him, he has
paid visits to several different conti
nents. Hence he went to Port Noll
oth, in Africa, and wrote back to
relatives that he "was seeir.g some
sure enough niggers; they were so
black they were blue and they wer
about with about as scant clothing as
one could imagine." He said that in
the port where they touched, in South
Africa, it was positively dangerous
for white people to go ashore after
nightfall, as cannibalism was not in
frequent. From Africa, the Maella made a
trip to Buenos Ayres with cargo and
thence secured cargo of linteed for
Philadelphia. She arrived at Buenos
Ayres on March 22, and late in April
sailed for Philadelphia. When the boy
signed aboard, the agreement was, if
agreeable to him, he was to be fur
nished transportation to his home in
Pensacola from the first port in the
United States the Maella arrived in,
and the youth should be home short
ly. He is a brother to Officer A. J.
Anderson, the well-known Pensacola
policeman. ,
