Alice Blaché

Madame Blaché has very little patience with the film censors. She is French and believes in realism

Charles J. Hite

Charlie Hite is one of the very few film men who recognized the possibilities of outside investors

Wallace Beery

“I write, produce and take the lead in my own pictures. My record so far is to write and produce a picture in six hours. Easy!”

Lottie Briscoe

“I was the first legitimate star to go into pictures”

Charles Clary

“I’ve never been interviewed by a girl in my life”

Flora Finch

“I try to be funny in my appearance and my actions on the screen: funny but never repulsive. Always odd, but never repulsive”

Alice Joyce

“In the fall one wants to be right in New York; there is everything one wants in New York”

Clara Kimball Young

“Fat? It’s the new kind of skin-food I’m using!”

James Kirkwood

“Terrible times I’ve had in New York — terrible!”

Adrienne Kroell

“I just love the work because there is always something new and the players have time to live like real people”

Florence LaBadie

“‘Lab-a-die’ is the correct way, but I don’t mind how it is pronounced. It should have been ‘Smith’”

Hughie Mack

“If I was dressed as a messenger boy, it must have been a hot day”

Boyd Marshall

“I seemed to fill the requirement of the youthful lead, so here I’ve been ever since”

Gertrude McCoy

“There’s always more fun in doing what one shouldn’t do”

Marc McDermott

“Fiery red [hair was] the curse of my young life, but thank heaven, I was spared watery blue eyes”

Harry Myers

“My work in pictures has earned me the title ‘dare-devil.’ There is nothing I have been asked to do that I didn’t do”

Miriam Nesbitt

“I’m dreadful at higher mathematics”

Muriel Ostriche

“It’s been a rush from one scene to another and from the studio to the dressing-room and back again. And that’s what I love — lots of rush”

George Periolat (December 1912)

“Photoplays are the greatest things in the world, today; and they’ve just started. The players who get into them now, while the profession is still young, are lucky”

Kate Price

“I put my foot in my mouth every time I open it, and I can’t tell you any pretty tales to make a story out of; all I can do is tell you the truth”

Marguerite Snow

“Appearance is a study, and clothes are as much a part of this study as grease-paint and wig”

Richard Tucker

“Not that I would have objected to becoming president of the bank, some day, but there were several men ahead of me who would have had to die first”

Robert Warwick

“I believe too, that the object should be to project thought, in making a meaning clear instead of gesticulating. These are simple methods, but simplicity always scores strongest”

Bryant Washburn

“I’m usually cast as ‘heavy’ but in the picture we came here to make, I have a straight part. The character and I last throughout the four reels.”

Pearl White

“I can do the most daring things and not get a scratch, but the minute I try something easy I nearly lose my life”

Crane Wilbur

William A. Williams

“I began my stage work as a quartet”
