BRIEF LIFE SKETCH OF MARY PICKFORD Mary Pickford, most distinguished woman of her profession, having even been nominated by the New York Times as one of the 12 greatest women of the United States that have won their way to eminence by their own efforts, was born in Toronto, Canada. At five she made her first appearance on the stage in the Valentine Stock Co. of that city. Following this she played in road companies mainly in the States. By the time she reached the age of nine she was being starred in "The Fatal Wedding" in the period of melodramas. Read and stock work finally brot her to a Broadway engagement. Her first appearance was with Belasco in "The Warrens of Virginia" in the role of Betty Warren. After this her really notable life work began. She entered the films. Miss Pickford's motion picture beginning was with the Biograph Company in New York, during the time of one reelers. She came under the attention of D. W. Griffith, then conducting a unit of the Biograph Co., and was given many parts. For 18 months she remained in these surroundings, closing at a salary of $100 a week, which then was extremely high. In less than a year Miss Pickford was back with Biograph at an increased salary. But she dropped out once more to play a season for Belasco. Then began her career with the Famous Players Co., and her own unit of that company which she incorporated in 1915. In that year she was working for $2,000 a week with a big percentage of profits. In 12 months more her salary was doubled, her consistent merit sealing her popularity with the public. Very shortly after that she was playing under an arrangement guaranteed a drawing account of $10,000 a week and 50 per cent of the profits with her choice of stories, directors and cast. Miss Pickford's contracts with Famous and then, later, with Artoffa terminated in 1916. Three pictures through First National were... unit of that company which she incorporated in 1915.

Very shortly after that she was playing under an arrangement guaranteed a drawing account of $10,000 a week and 50 per cent of the profits with her choice of stories, directors and cast. Miss Pickford's contracts with Famous and then, later, with Arteraft terminated in 1916. Three pictures through First National were then released, after which Miss Pickford joined with Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith to release through the "Big Four", a co-operative organization. Under those conditions she has made her latest pictures, such as "Pollyanna," "Suds," "The Love Light", Through the Back Door', "Little Lord Fauntheroy and now, as her 1922 picture, an entirely new "Teas of the Storm Country," which was made first under one of her old contracts but which established her then in the fame which she has consistently held ever since. This new "Teas of the Storm Country" is now showing at the California theatre. The splendid acting and the clean wholesome stories presented by Miss Pickford have done much to make motion pictures classic as entertainment.
