WHY MARY CARR MAKES AN
IDEAL SCREEN MOTHER
One of the outstanding features
of the success of the remarkable
William Fox photoplay. “Over the
Hill,” is the mighty chorus of prai'e
that has been accorded Mary Can-,
who. in this beautiful filming by
William Fox of Will Carleton’s fa
mous story in verse, has won a
niche in the hall of film fame. “O
ver the Hill” will be shown at the
Coliseum Theatre Tonight and to
morrow.
While Mrs. Carr is deserving of
all the tributes that have been lav
ished upon her, her principal claim
to greatness cannot be charged
wholly, or even chiefly, to anv
hig'nly idealized or carefully stud
ied portrayal of the role that has!
made her famous. Her achievment
has its foundation in the fact that
in the making of “Over the Hill”!
she did not “act at all, but rather'
■walked into the picture surrounded
by her own little brood of chil
dren—four of whom play import
ant characters in the picture: and
when called upon to register a cer
tain emotion of visualize a particu
lar incident of the story, she mere
ly portrayed herself—did just as
she would have done in real life,
with no attempt at theatrical em
bellishment.
The result—when naturalness and '
simplicity of interpretation are con
sidered—has given to the American
screen a veritable gem of charact
erization, and one that ranks with
the great portrayals of the Ameri
can stage.
It was perhaps a fortunate coin
cidence in Mrs. Carr.s life that
years ago she gave up a very prom
ising stage career in favor of do
mestic life; and when this fact is
taken into consideration, it seems
as though fate had transplanted her
to the quiet domestic atmosphere
that was to prepare her to go out
later and achieve fame with a por

trayal so lifelike and natural that
it seems at first glance little short
of uncanny.
Another factor in Mrs. Carr’s fa
vor is that screen audiences are be
coming more and more particular as
to the socalled type of -women to
whom mother parts are entrusted.
It is natural that men and women
cut front—particularly women —
should resent or grow weary of
screen mothers who do not look the
part and cannot act it convincingly.
Mrs. Carr, surrounded by her kid
dies, certainly looks and acts the
part, and the unprecedented suc
cess of “Over the Hill” which tugs i
at the heartstrings from beginning |
to the end, was inevitable, with the !
pivotal character so happily cast. j
Mrs. Carr, though sought per- j
persistently by several producers ev
ver since the eventful night last
September when Broadway awoke to
a consciousness that a screen hit of
tremendous proportion had arrived
in "Over the Hill.” is still playing
mothers in other William Fox pro
ductions and her cheery, optimistic <
spirit is one of the brightest assets j
of the Fox studios.

NENANA TURNIPS ENROUTE
TO SEATTLE PRESS DINNER
Four hundred pounds of Nenana's
choicest turnips were shipped this
week to Seattle, where they will!
form an important part of the all
Alaska menu on the occasion of the
Washington State Press Association
banquet, scheduled for next month,
in connection with the annual con- j
vention of Washington newspaper-,
men.
Most of the Alaska towns are
giving something for the big dinner,1
even to wood pulp and birch bark ■
for the table favors. The Fairbanks
donation of a sack of Tanana Val-.
ley flour passed through Nenana
several days ago.
A very large measure of credit
is due to Fred Major for the share
of desirable publicity that Xenana
will receive as the result of con
tributing to the menu. After donat-,
ing liberally of turnips grown in
his own garden, he undertook the
responsibility of storing other do
nations and preparing them for
shipment.
The fire department was called
to the Mellish store this afternoon,
but Chief Alexander, who discover
ed the blaze, had the fire out quick
ly with the aid of a bucket of snow,
and the apparatus was not brought
into play. It was merely a shimney
fire and there was no damage.
After the show, a good place to
go—Palace of Sweets.
