To see Ethel Clayton in motion pictures playing romantic leads—that she is successful in the romance of her “off-screen” life as she is on the screen? It is so, nevertheless, and Miss Clayton, Mrs. Joseph Kaufman in private life, if you please, is considered by the me-im tion picture elite, to be the happiest of all motion picture actresses.She has an ideal home on Riverside Drive, and'an ideal husband. She loves him, too, and nowhere does fari Ethel go, after studio hours, that she is not accompanied by hubby- Not very many people know it, but theirs is a studio romance. Some scientists [If scientists claim that love is catching. Whether It is or not, generally speaking, it was certainly so with Miss Clayton and Mr. Kaufman.It was back in the old Lubin days, when Mr, Kaufman was directing Miss Clayton in “The Great Divide” that the first love germ let loose. It multiplied so quickly that every time Director Kaufman directed Miss Clayton through a love scene both became infected with the microbe. Well, you know, a fellow and a girl can only stand it for so long, anyway, and to make a long story short, they hiked off and did the only thing left for them to do—and they have neverregretted it either.But to come back to our little star, we asked her t’other day, how old she was. With her usual cunning smile, she just shooed us away with Who would believe it if I did tell you?” No, now, don’t think she’s as old as all that! She would not tell, and hub-* by played neutral, but I'd bet that if I said she was born in Champaign. 111., on November 8, say,—1889, I would not be doing Miss Clayton a very great injustice. Lets iigure it outtogether.She did admit, once upon a time, that she started on the stage at the age of sixteen. Since that time she played with Edwin Stevens in The Devil,” with Emmett Corrigan in “Keegan’s Pal,” with Wallace Eddin-ger in “Bobby Burnit,” in the “Country Boy” and The Brute.” It may be “brutal” of us to figure her age out this way, but we simply must find out her age. Well, altogether, she spent five years on the stage. She followed her successful stage career with an engagement with the Lubin Company, for whom she did, amongst others, “The Great Divide” and “Dollars and the Woman.” Leaving Lubin, she jjoined the World Film Corporation. She has appeared on the screen for years. That would make her only 25 years old. With a couple of years of vacations would come within a month or two of reaching our figure. However, should Miss Clayton at any time wish to show us wherein we are wrong, we will promptly make proper redress!DcIeniorto(wbCalwitmgswarcvoipatcoiutohat1driDoeon
