the New star Theatre Is Full
Of Thrills and Has an Angel
Cheeiid.

at the Manhattan, but There
Was q cold.storage Air About
Them.

Mrs. Fske says she dresses Mary OF
MaEdala in red because that IL the
color Of the character.
The a-c-t-e-r-e-s-s who plays Fin In

by a similar sense of the eternal fitness
OF things. for when 1t comes to a rudy
Eet-up she has Mrs. Fiske looking like
''the cold gray dawn OF the morning

tion flag faded" And how her gown
supported by a pair OF tin su%spenders-

doesn't At is her name. The mar who
wrote the piece evidently overlooked Sec
ing her first.
For whatever else may be said about
y Fiji. It cannot be charged that she is
petite, She's what might be called a
'heavy'' actress.
This Was How II Happened.
Fiji first bla yes out in the Millionaires'
Club. The poorest person in the aud
ienco at the Star Theatre last night
could tell the scene was the Million

group OF physically-cultured girls medi-
tating on going In swimming.
Fin happened to be there because 1t
was 'ladies' night" although 1t was
quite visible to the naked eye that FIN
was no lady. Even the programme came

York for her health"
What Fiji was really out for was
Charles wadsworth, "a cool villain
loved by women" who pursued Dorothy
Fsmbsrton.
Dorothy felt hurt because her hus-
band wouldn't sit up and notice her &C.
~casionally. He neglected her for his
business, just as some other men neg

while the husband stayed homo and
counted money, Charles the Chilly
would take Dorothy out to sec whether
the electric lights were burning. This
