While in college she made a reputation as a dramatic reader and a student of dramatic construction. In 1913 she took up her residence on the Pacific Coast and established a studio of dramatic art in Port land, Oregon. In such connection she surrounded herself with much talent, including Lord and Lady fiberdeen, Marie Meyer, famous through her work at Oberamergau, and many others. During this period she was a iliated with the J. B. Pond Lyceum Bureau of New York, and was considered one of the most suc cessful Shakespearean coaches in the West. Not satisfied that her knowledge and reputation were sufficient, she continued her studies, working during the summer months under such men as Winnens of Cornell and U. B. Sufton Holdorne of Oxford at the University of California. When the war necessitated the closing of many private schools in every line of art, Mrs. Alvord moved to Los Alngeles and became interested in motion picture production. Her knowledge of dramatic literature, technique and values soon won for her recognition, and she accepted a position in the scenario department at the Metro Studios, where she made rapid advancement in her work until finally she was given full charge of the Research Department of that organiza tion. Recognizing her value, the palmer photoplay _corporation engaged her to organize its Department of Research, and this task she accomplished admirably. The advice contained in the following pages is indicative of the sound quality of common sense that characterizes all of Mrs. lvord's work.
