active mind and keeps herself busily
occupied in all manner of things when
not at work before the camera. In
the course of reading an old Italian
novel recently she ran across a poison
which at the same time had retrArk
able powers as a preservative. She
prepared aome of it with the aid of a
chemist and dipped into it some of
her favorite blossoms and the next
morning the flower was crystalized in
to a beautiful jewel. Another of her
recent stunts was the irvention of a
new flying device, which is a cross
between a bombing airplane and the
Angel Gabriel. The only mistake she
made in the inventive idea was in try
ing it out hersedf, when she suffered
an ignominious fall and nearly caused
herself severe injuries. Miss Pearson
besides being a talented actress, is a
musician of considerable merit and
has written a number of, scenarios and
stories which have gotten into print.
