On the day the Thanhouser Eastern studio was destroyed by fire, one of the companies was many miles away, taking a scene in an important drama. The news of the accident finally reached them by telephone, but by the time they had returned to New Rochelle the building was completely destroyed. On the long trip to the studio they were a prey to anxiety and the fear that friends, and relatives even, may have lost their lives. The Thanhouser Kid was one of the "outside company." while her mother was in the studio. As it happened the tiniest of the Thanhouser stars, "The Kidlet," was in the studio, and her mother in an "outside picture." The mother of "The Kidlet" when she left the studio, had placed her child in the care of Marguerite Snow, who, when the fire swept the building, saved the little one at the risk of her own life. The "Kidlet's" home, near the studio, was gutted by the flames. She was given temporary refuge by the slightly older star, the "Kid," of course, and that night "Kid" and "Kidlet" slept together and dreamed of the fine, new studio that was to replace the one that had been.
