MICKEL'S Omaha's Music Center Back-Stage With Mary ! ml Q$ 3j38 it Mary Miles Minter Realaxt Pictures By FRANCES L. GARSIDE. These are precocious times. Not so many generations aero if a man at 70 reaped the harvest pf fame for which he had struggled all his life, the world thought it a wonderful thing that it came while he still lived. And now along conies Mary, who has not only made her name famous at 17, but who has two names in electric lights to her credit! l ne name by which you know her now is Mary Miles Minter; she be gan her stage career as soon as she could walk, and when she was ap proaching her teens her appearance was heralded as "the wonderful child actress, Juliet Shelby." That is her honest-to-goodness name. The stage folk change their names for various reasons; some because Bierbaum doesn't sound as well as Janis, or Koerber wouldn't stick in memory like Dressier, and Mary Pickford, because Gladys Smith might mean any girl in any town. None of these resons influenced Juliet Shelby. She changed her name JANUARY CLEARANCE OF HOLIDAY GOODS We still have on hand a large stock of holiday furniture that must be disposed of before we invoice.

Only , to defeat a very tiresome law, and succeeded. This if the itory: The child labor commission ruled that no girl under 16 could appear on the stage. The stage was this child's life, her ca reer, and also her bread and butter. She) simply had to appear on it, but how? She was under 16; for a rime there seemed no way of adding a few years to her shoulders. Then her mother, i clever woman, found a way out. Juliet had a cousin named Mary Miles Minter. She had died, at the age of 15, a year before. If she had lived the would now be 16. She would live, Juliet'i mother decided, in the person of her cousin, Juliet Shelby. So the name of Tuliet was put on the tombstone, and Juliet took the name of Mary Miles Minter, and there you are. Simple, of course. Gruesome? Well, that depends on how you feel about it. One who has seen the Mary Miles Minter we know today cannot associate gruesome ness with the proceeding. Mary Miles Minter (the one who adopted the name) was born in Shreveport. La., April 1, 1902. She made her debut on the stage with the late Nat Goodwin in 'Cameo Kirby" and later appeared with Dus tin Farnum in "The Sauaw Man," with Robert Hillard, Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske and Madame Bertha Kallich. It was . after this that she ap peared in vaudeville in a playlet of the civtl war. It made such a hit th?t the play was elaborated into "The Littlest Rebel." If you saw it you remember that you cried so hard, and others around you cried so hard, that you caught cold and wondered if you might not have to wade home. She toured four years in this play. and while she was appearing in it as Juliet Shelby, the child labor com mission necessitated the change of name and it was up to the little girl to make the second name as well known as the first She has suc ceeded. The contract which her mother recently signed for her with a pic tures corporation is most unusual. She cannot appear in public nor take part in any public enterprise; she cannot eat in public restaurants nor hotels nor attend a dance with so many guests it might be called a public affair. She cannot have a sweetheart or accept attention from any man; of course, she cannot marry or fall in love. She cannot have social gath erings at her home. She must, in brief, lead as retired a life, when away from the studio, as if she were 90 and had lost the power of her limbs. In return she is to be paid a hand some sum. "It is not so much," she said. "Listen: This morning I was fitted for five dresses. They will cost me $3,000, and I will not be permitted to wear any dress the second time. "1 take, my money to a dressmak er; she charges me twice what she would charge a woman who hasn't the reputation for having so much. "I have my dresses made thinking of how some man I don't love will make love to me in them, with the director telling us to make love as if we really meant it when neither of us means it at all. On the con trary, these forced courtships fin ally make us hate each other. I have no dreams of romance con nected with my clothes. "I wonder why all the mothers want their children to get into the movies. 1 here is a school room scene in "Anne of Green Gables," and we need 30 children for the scene. My dear, we turn away hun dreds! Some of the kiddies feel so badly that I hire them, paying for them out of my own pocket. This is against my better judgment for I do not think the life of a moving picture actress is a desirable one by any means. But the mothers I They do thei little girls' hair up on rage; Jhe hang ribbons and ruffles and lace on them till they look like Christ inas trees they even, occasionally, rouge their cheeks, and then they bring them to the studio door, and expect, in mother's pride, that tlia director will go crazy over vwhat their efforts have produced I ' The world is fickle, as everyone knows. There is a rumor among motion picture fans that it has taken to itself a new sweetheart, and that Mary Miles Minter it .the. girL ) In Quebec women are still denied the privilege of practicing law. 473 Gallon Apricots and Peaches Will Be Placed on Sale Monday. 89c Per Gallon 89c We expect about 70S or 800 people to be lined up to tak advantage of this exceptional sale price.
