"I'M TIRED OF RAGS."
MAKV PICKFORD'S AMBITION
"l Hiii not yoing to plav the baby girl] iiy more." I "I want to be more human and less be fairy. It will have to be a gradual jrowing-up process, for my managers ind audiences canndt seem to get rid >f the idea that I am a little girl or a Cinderella." Thus Mary Pick ford—who with T)oug- • las Fairbanks has been on a visit to Lon- , ion—startled a number of interviewers. "I must have a change," she remarked. : T want to tell more of life. I'm tired af wearing rags. Wear Better Clothes. "I want to be daring, not in any ill sense, but just to wear more attractive clothes and express them. "I really regard myself as English," she continued, v for lam Canadian, not American, and as Canada is part of Britain I am part of England, and the more I come to England the more I love her. "People orten ask me why I do not shingle or smoke, but I dare not. I cannot imagine what would happen if I cut my hair off. I should probably never get another picture. "As for smoking, I find my powder puff such an encumbrance that I dare not add another burden in the way of cigarettes."
