every imaginable convenience The
dressing room is portable and is
made of canvas stretched on frames.
At the Belasco theater, which is Mrs.
Carriers home theater, her dressing
room was constructed after her own
plans, and when it came time 10
leave New York with the BeIasco
play one of the difficulties that pre-
scented itself was the matter of dress
ing room accommodations on the
road. When someone condoled with
Mrs. Carter on the unpleasant posi-
bilities there might be in the IN
known qualities of the dressing
rooms to which she was to be intro
duced, she said: "That may be a
great inconvenience and | ought 10
take my own dressing room with
me-" And she did.
The stage carpenter went to work
and with Mrs. Carriers architect
standing over him, covered five big
frames with canvas like so many
pieces of scenery, and soon were com
pleted the four walls and ceiling for
a neat little dressing room. The
walls were covered with pretty pink
dimity, there was long shelf for a
dressing table to go beneath the
makeup mirror, there were other
shelves to occupy one side OF the
room, a door in one side and venti-
lators on every side. Then furniture
was bought for the room. There were
two large mirrors with red, green
and white lights on all sides, while
any color could be turned on at Will.
The remaining furniture consisted of
tables and chairs and little electric
heater
This portable dressing room has
been a great saving in physical and
mental effort to Mrs. Carter, and she

The afternoon and early evening was

ness, hunting for the Messiah. Twice
before nave these misguided, ignor-
ant peasants gone on these religious
sprees, and each time the Canadian
police rounded them up only after a
great loss of life.
Although scarcely heard of prior
to their first outbreak, two years
ago, they are really an old sect.
They are Russians. The Sclavonlc
word Doukbobor means spirit
wrestler" The term was applied de-
risively to them by a Greek bishop
in the Crimea. They accepted It
cheerfully and the name stuck.
The principal tenet of their creed
is that the spirit of Christ is in each
man. They have no clergy, no form
of worship, except meetings for sing
ing and bowling to the spirit of the
Savior in each.
Until about 90 years ago they all
drank, danced and served in the Rus
sian army. PiotT Veregin, a youth,
reformed them. They became vege-
tarians, refused to fight, drink or
dance and were sent to Siberia In
droves.
Philanthropists transported 5000
of them to northwest Canada, In
1899. They lived simply on their
farms and raised their crops. They
kill no living thing.
In 1903 they burned all their farm
implements because these contained
iron and steel to get which lives are
risked. They discarded all clothing
and started on a march, looking for
the Messiah They suffered awful
privations, but bore their agony with
fanatical zeal. Men saw wives and
children perish and seemed to glory
in It,
Finally the government rounded
them up and returned them to their
villages. They did not resist for they
do not believe in resistance.
Their next vagary was that horses
and oxen should not be worked be-
cause these animals had no choice in
the affair. Instead they yoked their
women up to plows and made them
do the work of beasts.
Except for these vagaries, they are
orderly, Industrious, charitable and
honest people. Most of their fanat-
ical excursions have been inspired by
ZiberoH, who claimed that he was
John the Baptist and would lead the
zealots to Christ in the wilderness.
1t is said that the Doukhobors went
on these fanatical marches years ago,
without mercy. They speak their
own language, and all attempts to
assimilate them have failed.
