2 rs A Yd APE ET LA EE Str nuous Life for Serial Stars -- Williams Fond of Children -- A Canadian Star-- Comedy of Married Life--A Tense Moment. T requires a great deal of nerve, primarily, to be a serial star. Not the sort of nerve described as "gall" or "crust," but the kind which designates daring and valor. f'o be a serial star one must know how to act, must be an athlete and an acrobat; but above all he must possess not a trace of fear and a will- fngness to take any and all chances. Plleen Sedgwick, the youngest of Berial stars, whose latest success Is! scored in "The Diamond Queen," comprising thirty-six reels of dare- devil acllon, demonstrated the fact that she possessed more than ordinary share of nerve when she was eight years old. Bhe was then known as Babe Sedgwick (In fact she Is still called "Babe" by her friends), sud) she was the youngest member of the Sedgwick, f mily, which toured the] South and West and presented a rep- ertoirs of comedies and dramas. Be- tween the act, vaudeville acts were presented, and one of these was a slack wire specialty by a young wom- en of nineteen.
