BEHIND THE SCREEN By SAMUEL GOLDWYN \___ J (Continued From Saturday.) "Well," she answered promptly, "it was this way: 1 felt that I was get ting to be a machine under Mr. Griffith. I got to he like an auto matic doll, if he told me to move my left foot I moved it. When he said. 'Book up’ I did that Just as un questioningly. So I made up my mind to see if 1 could really do any thing hy myself.” 1 doubt if Mr. Zukor himself real ised at first the tremendous poten tiality of Mary Pickford. it was some months, indeed, before the Fa mous Players starred her, and Mr. Zukor has often told me how during that probationary time she used to say to him. "Oh, Mr. Zukor. if I . could only see my name in electric lights I'd be the happiest girl in the world'." When the great moment to which she had so long and so eagerly looked forward finally did come, the scenario writer of Mary Pickford’s own life displayed a dramatic deftness of vouch. One day Mr. Zukor asked Miss Pick ford if she would go out to dinner with him that evening. She agreed, and lie appointed the Hotel Breslin mi Broadway for their meeting. When they sat down at their table it was stili light. At. last when dusk began to fall Mr. Zukor rose and went over to the window. "Come over here." he called to the girl. ‘ 1 want you to see some thing.” Wonder'.ngly she followed him. she looked out at the street where the swift winter darkness was dimming I he familiar outlines, and then she looked back to his face. "What is it?" said she. "I don t see anything." "Wait," lie commanded. As lie spoke the lights of many windows began to brush like golden flakes against the blurred buildings. And then across the street at Proc tor's there suddenly leaped in let ters of frosty fire these words: MARY J’lCKFORD in "Hearts Adrift." •She had never suspected that site was to be starred in this play. And it is not surprising that at the reve lation of her success she burst into tears such as have moved her audi ences all over the world. m ' ‘Tan it really, really be true?''— this might have been the subtitle of that big scene in the drama of Mary Piekford’* life. It was a moment after tills first .hod; of incredulous joy that she said to Mr. Kukor, "Oh, what will mother say when she hears this" Any one who knows Mary will not he surprised at this almost instan taneous thought of her mother. I have met the average number of daughters ill my life and I e.an truth fully say that none of them ever ga\ e a mother such devotion as slidj does. I'ntil the time Mary married I louglus Fairbanks Mis Piekford v as the one dominating intluenee in her daughter's life. In the vividness of this relationship you will find per haps the reason for one outstanding lack in Mary Pickford's life. There nr® many women who admire her. Of male (i.-ils. such as Marshall Xel lull. 1lie celebrated director, she had a score. But to my knowledge there is only one woman who has ap proached—and she very tentatively the position of intimate friend. "Ma" Piekford, as she is known familiarly, is now her daughter's bus iness manager. But in the old shab by days of the Biograpli studio her activities, although mm-* limited, were equally . pronounced. Kvery , .single day she came with Mary toj ADY KBTHKMENT.

She sat with the faithful make-up box while Mary was on a set. In the Famous Players’ studio it was the same. Of course, stage and screen supply numerous other instances of brooding maternal solicitude. I am now approaching a phase of the noted pantomimist's career which points to many adventures hi which I myself have been involved. When Mary Pick lord Hi st went w ith Mr. Zukor he paid her $500 a week. Her success was so marked that before her contract had expired he volun tarily raised this to a thousand dol lars. After tills—but I am antici pating. Whenever 1 saw Mr. Zukor look ing homeless as a small town man in house-cleaning time I knew what was the matter. “How much does she want now?” 1 used to ask him laughingly. “We're fixing up the contract.” would answer with a significant lift of the eyebrows. It often took longer to make one of Mary's contracts than it did to make one of Mary's pictures. Vet, strangely enough, the beneficiary her self took no hand in the enterprise. The warfare of clauses was waged entirely by her mother and her law yer. Indeed. Mr. Zukor has often told me that .Mary Pick ford had nev er asked him for a cent' “Then how do you know she's dis contented?'' 1 once inquired of him. “How does she act?" “Like a perfect lady," responded | Mr. Zukor stoically. * I made no comment, but I have always understood that one of the advantages of being a perfect lady Is that you can create a certain at mosphere without creating the basis for any definite, accusations. During tbp time that this contract was being negotiated the newspapers published an item to the effect that! < ’harlie Chaplin had just signed a new contract whereby ho was to re celve $H70,000 a year. Right here was where Mr. Zukor experienced a most acute manifestation of his peri odie disorder. when the Chaplin contract was an nounced every film producer knew that Mary pickford was negotiating si new contract, and r know of one specific offer she received at 515,000 a week. On account of the pleasant rela tions tli^t had always existed between Mary Pickford and Mr. Zukor, how ever, she finally accepted the new contract with him, in which Dusky and I joined with Mr. Zukor, as the contract for $10,000 a week, to ap ply on 50 per cent of the profits of the picture, seemed unusually large. During this period of dissatisfac tion she spoke to me one day about the Chaplin contract. "Just think of it,” said she, "there he is getting all that monc;y and here I am. after all my hard work, not making one half that much.” This reminds me that, some time after the contract was made, Mary Pickford started working on her first picture, entitled "Less Than Dust.” and I saw more of her than l ever did before. As the enterprise was so large we decided to have a sep arate unit for her, which meant a separate studio that no one else worked in hut Mary Pickford. As there was trouble one day, and Mr. Zukor being away, I went over to see her. Until that time any difficul ties were always straightened out with Mr. Zukor. While 1 was there she made this remark to me: "What do you think? They all seem to be px< ited around here over my getting this money. As a matter of fact, one of your officials said: ‘Watch her walk through this set. For $10,000 n week she ought to be running.’” But to recur to the Chaplin con tract: J was struck bv the appeal n these words about dollars and cents. Again she seemed to me like a child, , and this time all a child’s sense of; injustice at what she considered an ungenerous return for her services spoke in her big brown eyes. If. indeed, my last paragraphs have cast the great screen artist in any doubt ful light, 1 hasten to remind you that nil her tremendous professional pride was at stake in securing a concrete reward, certainly there can' be no doubt and I am sure Mr. Zukor would be the first to admit this—that she was worth all the mon ey she ever ^received. In fact, there are many who will consider this a very conservative statement. Then, too, it will be remembered ,ihat my early Impressions of Mary Pickford were received from Mr. Zu kor .1nd that, although he has al ways had the highest admiration for her both as a woman and an artist, his interpretation of various episodes was doubtless affected by the strain of financial adjustment. Vine mem ory of mine serves to establish this point. On a certain day when f met our rival producer for lunch he was wear ing what I had come to know as his “Mary” expression. "What’s up now?” I asked him. He shook his head. “She's very ha Iky over ‘Madame Butterfly,’ “ he responded. “This morning she stopped acting because she said the shoes weren’t right. In fact, noth ings rjjsrht about the whole play.” Mr. Zukor attributed this mood to another crisis in wage fixation, but I am quite sure that salary was, at tlie most, only a partial factor in her dissatisfaction with that particular play. For not long ago she confided to a friend of mine: "The only quar rel I can ever remember having with a director was over 'Madame Butter flv.’ It (Might to have been called 'Madame Snail.’ It had no movement in It, no contrasts at all. Now’, my idea was to have the first scenes showing Pinkerton teaching the Japn neso gjrl some American game like baseball. Hut would the director listen to me? Not a hit of it.’’ Continuing with this same remi niscence, Mary Bickford spoke of per friend, Marshall NVilan. “Micky whs playing with me in ‘Madame Hotter fly,’” she said. "And how well | re member the way we’d grouch after wo left the studio. We used to leave work in an old car that we called i 'actus Kate or Tuna nil, and as we bumped Into New York we’d Invent together all sorts of business that we thought might tone up poor ‘Mad Mine Butterfly'.’ I was ho impressed h\ Micky’s idea that I went to Mr. Zukor and said: ‘Do you know you ought to make Micky' N'ellaii h direc tor” He’d he worth at |e;»yt $ 125 JV week to you.’ ” I quote this last as a testimony to the almost unerring acumen which Mary Bickford displays In her profes slon. Hater on I myself engaged Marshall N’ellan for the J,nsky com pany, and he has developed Into one of the four or five great directors in the country. Incidentally I may men tion that the (irddwyn company now pays him $25,000 a picture, together with 50 per cent of -the profits. He produces four pictures a year. My first long talk with Marv Pick ford was almost n year afteu I • aught my first glimpse of her in Zu kor a office. 'phe conversation cc*n lered almost entirely upon work, and I shall never forget inv amazement as I listened in her There was no detail of Mini production which he. this girl, still In her early 20s, had not grasped more thoroughly Uian any man to whom I ever talked. She knew pictures, not only from the standpoint of the studio, but from that of the boxofflee. Back of those lovely brown eyes, disguised by that lyric profile, is the mind of a cap tain of industry. In appearance' so typically feminine, Mary Pickford gives to the romance of business all of a man's response. Certainly she would have had no trouble in filling a diplomatic post. 1 realized this as, sitting with her one evening In the Knickerbocker hotel restaurant, where t had taken her to dinner, 1 heard her speak for the tirst time of the I.ask.v studio, ghe was only 22. "1 can't tell you.” said she, "how 1 admire your-photogra phy." And then she went on to laud other features until I tingled with pride to think that I belonged ,to such a superior organization. "ft must he a wonderful pleasure to work in such a studio," she con cluded in a voice soft as the south ern wind. (Continued in The Bee.) Burgess Bedtime Stories Ily THORNTON \Y. Rl KRKSS. When once Milady seta li^r mind. There'.1* rut ught ■,.*n rhang* it. > ou will find. —Danny Meadow Mouse. Fearful but Happy. Such a day as Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse spent in tlie* great manbird! My. my, my, such a day! Not once did they dare mo much as poke a whisker outside the tiny cup board in which was their nest. All day they heard the voices of men as they worked to repair that airplane. All day they heard all sorts of noises as the men worked, I'ontinually they were startled by thumps and other sounds which thev emifd not under stand at all. Sometimes it sounded os if that great manbird was being taken to pieces. Danny remembered how he had seen the home of Trader the Wood Rat torn to pieces that very morning, and at times lie was sure that this was what was hap pening to the great manbird. But he said nothing about it to Nanny. It would have been bad enough had they had only themselves to think about. But there were five tiny, help less babies to think about. Yes. sir, there were five tiny, helpless babies. That was the secret in the great man bird That was why Nannv wouldn't leave, because she couldn't. This is w by Danny himself stayed. And, too, this is why Danny and Nanny were more fearful than they would have been had they been alone. But despite their worries and fear, they were Very, very happy. Ye**, in deed. they were very, very happy. Those fi\e tiny babies were the most wonderful babies ever horn Into th» great world. At least that is what Danny and Nanny thought. No oik could make them believe anything else. So they listened to the strange noises and the voices of the men and were fearful, but at the same time they never for an instant forg'd their happiness. Such a day as that was! It seemed to them that it would never end. There was no chance to get even a nap. Danny would no sooner doze off than there would come a thump that would make him jump almost out of his skin. Nanny didn’t try to sleep. She had the ©ire of those five wonderful babies to keep her awake And all the time the aviator and the men who weje helping him to re pair the airplane never once guessed that there was a secret in the great mruihird. “Now,’* said llanny, “we’ll move over to that old stump. But tbo longest day conics to nn end at last. Darkness settled over the great inanbird, and with It came quietness. The men had left. All the terrifying noisr* hod ceased. It was safe to go out. “Now." said Danny, “well move over to that old stump." “We’ll do nothing of the kind.” r<* piled Nanny. “We'll stay right hero. These babies are too young to bo moved. Such a thing Is not to bo thought of. Our seent hasn't born discovered, and if you have sons*' enough to remain hidden in daylight it won’t be discovered. When the darlings *»-* big enough well move, but not until then." Danny didn't argue lie know Nanny wan right. Whether they want*sl to live in that airplane or not they would have to for a while. The five babies tied them to it. (Cooright. 1924 » The next story: "Danny ami Nanny Iter ume Their Travels.’ ( IIK M.O M \HKKTS. U t'lajik# t'ompunv. AT *2 1? Art. i Op*»n. !
