crowd as t: ere arose from th topmast

In a very short taflt that waa entirely

personality. She has brains and a ousi-
ness ability that Is remarkable in a
voung girl she Is iM--ami an actress.
For It Is the exceptidh rather than Ihe
rule when an artist is su cessful in mnn-
ot most people la not by accident. I was
made sure of tht when 1 watched her
making the scenes that evening.
I told the little star that I would speaK
to the girls of Texas about her and asked
her for a message
"Do not talk to them of my hair - and
my eye nor of the exaggerated reports
of donations" she said earnestly (at the
time the Los Angeles papers were full of
her generosity to the Red Cross and her
enormous subscriptions to the liberty
loan and they were not so grossly "ex-
aggerating" at that) "but tell them that
my Inspiration to work comes from' the
pialse and love they give me. Tell espe-
cially those who want to work before
the camera that Mary Pickford says the
load is long and narrow and many times
dust weary and that they will be saved
many heartaches If they live their nor
mal happy home lives and Just be sweet
to makeup for her work. In a very short
time she was back dressed In the be-
ruffled little frock of 'Rebecca of Bunny-
brook Farm" with her beautiful hair
down In curia and was making the barn
reception scene' for that picture In which
the Simpsons were presented with the
parlor lamp. Again and again the scenes
were made and again and again the little
tar would sav. "I believe we can do
I better than that; let's try it again." And
again the action would start ana me
scene be "shot" until the stamp of ap-
proval came from the highest court Lit-
tle Mary. She Is a born leader never
driving or urging Impatiently but always
coaxing and encouraging every one lo
do "a little bit better." And she is her
own harshest critic.
I'm glad I have seen Mary Pickford.
I'm glad I saw her boyish young brother
her beautiful sister and her kindly moth-
er. And there was sister Lottie's sturdy.
And I did meet Little Mary.
And I agree with the Western coast
that Douglas Fairbanks Is "the finest
man" in the. business." for he was there
to do the honors!
It was at one of the big I.askv studios
under the Klelgs and v'oopei - Ilewit's.

up with the queer ;.tvui.!ns. pule pinks
and blues preparatory to working. She
wore a dress of khaki kool. cream col-
ored with a quaint little jacket of pale
green with panels ba.'k and front sleeve-
less and opening on the shoulders. This
was loosely belted down She wore white
sport oxforas. and while she talked she
held her pale green lwt lam lit liar
hands.
Now we're ready for the question.
Ntary I'lckford's hair is almost a golden
bat a little darker; it is a very ligl t
brown much lighter I'l.m one would
think from her pictures. It is silky fine
and beautiful and it is iiaturai'.y ci.il.
It is thick and fluffy :pM she wears it
up on her head the car'-.! cuds falling

"I had been troubled for about seven
years with blackheads and pimples and
sometimes my face and neck were so
sore that I could hardly
bathe them for a number
of days! Some of the
pimples were large and
sometimes they festered
but most of the time they
came to a head. They
itched and burned and
caused disfigurement.
"Then I used Cuticura
Soap and Ointmen and after using
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
box of Cutioura Ointment I was healed.
I would advise any sufferer from skin
trouble? to purchase Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. (Signed) R. A. Logan
