(PJ ACKIE SAUNDERS Is ono of the newest, and at the same tlmo one of tho brightest " stars to appear in tho mov ing plcturo sky. She flashed J Into promlnonco a few pOJ months ago, and ever since y has been sending out sparks In tho shape of favorable criticism on her work Enthusiastic friends of Miss Saunders have called her the .Maude Adams of tho movies, and whllf she has not had time to win as large a following In tho pictures as Miss Adams has on the regular stage, there Is much about tho llttlo llt-tlo star, whi-n ability and charm of manner Is taken Into consideration, to mako the similarity similar-ity fitting. Miss Saundcr3 has that mysterious olomnt which we call personality for want of a better name, In a large degree, and on top of this sho has ability and Is not afraid of tho most tiresome tire-some work, the longest hours, or nnythlng that will tend to advance her In her art. Sho was born in Philadelphia, and has done a great deal as a citizen of that city to disprove dis-prove the assertion that Its citizens are slow and sleepy. She Is of French and German parentage, par-entage, and says that she Is strictly neutral Miss Saunders made her first stage appearance appear-ance when a child In a company of dancing dolls. After that engagement she was taken off the stage and went to school for a long time. When sho camo out of tho convent she took up stage work again In a stock companj In her native town, and when she got her feet pretty firmly fixed on the slippery boards of the regular stage, along came the movies Miss Saunders, like many of tho amltlous young players of that day, saw tho opportunities opportuni-ties of the new art, and abandoned the speaking speak-ing for tho silent stage. She made rapid progress from tho very first When she first went to work at the Balboa studios, her fcllow-porformors used to say "Keep your eye on Jackie Saunders, she Is going go-ing to arrive some day," and to Judce from the favorable comments her Tork Is receiving of late, she has about reached her destination Ml?s Saunders, llko many of tho ambitious most democratic of players. There Is nothing 'up stage about her. Sho meets everybody, from the lowly extra to the high and mighty blg-salarics star, with the same manner that Is one of her principal charms. She plays any part In tho cast with equal caso, but says she likes "harum scarum," tomboy tom-boy parts best of all. wm 1' " -s 8BH w A If "JACKIE. SAUNDERS I |
