VeOs, OielOS and Gossip
From Gay NeLO York
By Glenn Guernsey.


New York, October 3.-Shorn of the
glad rags of caste and the cuticle of
convention, folk assume monoto-

and inherited instincts. Expressing
the same thought more POLITICALLY,

lows that when Anna Held, return
ing to this village from her beloved
Paree, brings along 12-year-old
demure, convent-bred girl as her
daughter, New York really has no
excuse for standing on tiptoes and
gasping in utter amazement. Yet
that is exactly what New York is do
ing.
And it is a trife difficult to con-
ceive-that Anna Held, the sensuous
siren who is the delight of the John
MES and the baldheads, the foremost
exponent of Topographic stage art,
should be dignified by the sacred
name of mother and thus claim sister
hood with the rest of her sex.
Whatever fame Miss Held has
achieved is based on a chic and clever
ability to always dance along the
limits of decency without actually
going beyond the bounds. If these
qualities constitute the artist, Miss
Held easily holds first place.
am no mental mathematician, and
I hesitate to attempt to compute how
many boys and girls have witnessed
Miss Held's performances and have
gone forth with the bloom of inno-
cence wiped from their cheeks and
with distorted and abnormal ideas of
the realities of life. It is certain that
the number is not few, yet it is re-
freshing to learn that Miss Held's
daughter has been carefully protect
ed from such influence. The girl
has never seen her mother on the

too good a mother for that.
Happy in the love of her innocent
child and living contentedly with her
husband, Florenz Ziegfield, the the
atrical manager, Miss Held presents
picture of domestic bliss that is stag

that she plays on the mimic stage.

fairness of advancing years showing
no trace in obesity of paunch or jowl
the wrinkles of age hidden beneath
powder and rouge, and the dancing
devils in her eyes as enticing as ever,
the Anna Held of the stage still has
the capacity to add many more Amer
lean dollars to the goodly store al

and admiring public. And every cent
of it, If need be,-so volubly asserts
the proud mother-will be used as a
barrier to prevent her child from OBJ
