quiet shifting of muscles n the
vague, shadowy ripple of hidden flesh.
Until the second act, when Armine
leaves her alone for a moment with
Baroudi, she hardly seems alive.
Then the death veil vanishes. The
snake becomes a tiger as the door
closes on her husbands back, and a
single passionate movement takes her
into Baroudi's arms. She lies there
trembling. Her fingers run fiercely
over his face and hair. Her body,
curved like a bow, presses against his.
The snake is vibrant with love. She
Vibrates from head to foot. The door
opens, NazimoVa is again the cold,
dull-eyed cobra, silent and ~passionless.
The character of Bella Donna, of
course. wa never intended to be espe-
cially attractive. She does her best
to poison Arrnine, her husband, and,
failing, finds compensation in telling
him of the attempt, Armlne is good.
He loves her. He thinks her good.
II. the face of positive proof he has
refused to consider the possibility of
her guilt. This enough for the snake
that she should be gorged with sup
pressed venom and still be considered
harmless, that she should write in
a passion of murder and still be
loved and trusted by the object of
her hatred, She has struck at Ar
mines life and failed; this time she
strikes at his illusions.

ON THE RIALTO

Once it was a a. that-say, in the
when two men met on New York's Ri
alto and either one put his hand to his
hip pocket, the action could signify
but one thing-a drawn revolver and
consequently gun-play. But today all
that is past; civilization has worked
Now it is a rarity for the hand thrust
to the hip pocket to flash forth a re-
volver; just as rare as the possibility
of New York ever being shocked as
a community. Times change and with
them nip pockets. When one nan
meets another today on the Rialto and
hastily thrusts his HAND backwards in
to his hip pocket, it is more likely the
manuscript of a five-act tragedy that
he pulls forth than a derringer; often
the latter would be more welcome.
With the spread of the notion that
play-writing is largely a matter of
pen, paper n ink, everybody, from
the maid that serves ones breakfast
IN the morning to the mOtorman that
brings n home at night, is writing
plays. But it remained for a college
professor recently to give the art of
playWrltlng its lowest rating among
all conceivable human %endeavors. Il
am sending you what l believe a
really playable play" the professor
lately wrote Charles F'rohman: 1T is
the result of my last convelescence
from a bad attack of the grippe. Al
though almost never go to the the
atre, this seems to me the kind of
thing that the public ought to see"
The product was so hopelessly unact-
able and worthless that ever since
Mr.. Frohman has been wondering if
the professor was really convalescent
from the grippe and not the jimjams.

GETTING THERE

Every now and again there appears
in almost any theatre a rare and de-
lightful mystery. A young a more
frequently a young girl, appears at
the footlights and Immediately es-
tabllshes "a wave of tense sympathy
with the audience. They may never
nave appeared before, or, if they have
nobody has ever noticed them par
ticalarly. The delight comes from
the sensation of swift surprise; the
mystery Is far more difficult to eX-
plain. Read the inevitable interviews
with the fortunate ones next day and
you Will be struck with a complete
inarticulateness; for the player is fire.
quently less able to explain his or
her success than the spectator. Suf-
lice 1t to say that he or she makes
good; just gets there" The achieve
ment depends only partly on stage
knowledge, gained either by inheri-
lance or personal experience. 1t de-
rlVes partly from prettiness, and to
a greater extent from personal mag
netism. This last, question begging
term, is the nearest anybody can
come to a full explanation of why
some players get there and others
DO not. But it was in just such a
manner that Miss Billie Burke one
night come down to the footlights of
the Adelphi Theatre, London-un-
known and unadvertised-to sing a
little song called My Little Canoe"
Instantly the entire audience was
for Billie Burke, individually and
collectively. 1t was all just as much
or a surprise to Miss Burke as to
her audience. The simple fact is that
from the beginning Miss Burke has
possessed this secret, not ever to be
explained to her, of winning an en-
tire audience merely by standing be-
fore them. Behind every fine artistic
achievement stands a fascinating in
dlVldual,' Oscar Wilde once said,
Behind every Treasure Island a
Robert Louis; behind every Lady
Nicotine a J. NJ. Barrie; behind
every 'Pendennis' a Thackeray.
Only in he theatre more than in any
other craft. because the drama is the
most personal of all arts, does the !
personal equation outweigh all other
factors.

GLEE CLUB

That the University of Michigan
Glee and Mandolin clubs, which APP
pear at the Harnois in this city, on
April 5, are on a high plane of eX-
cellency is amply proved by the fact
that the entire aggregation was given a
trip to the Pacific Coast last winter by
the Santa Fe railroad. In all 13
concerts were given by the c~ollegians,
at points along the route designated
by the railroad management, and in

men whose martial blood is stirred in
to action at the sight of a uniform;
you older people who thoroughly en-
joy seeing a good play-do you want
to see "Graustark' at the Harnois
next Thursday night?
OF course you do. Not one of you

nex Thursday night. Twenty persons
will see 'Graustark" as the guests of

Here is the proposition:
You write an article of not more
than 200 words on the subject (which

Address the article to "Graustark,"
care The Muscular, and send it to

moments of your spare time.
The names Of the. winners of the
contest will be printed in The Mis-

or not you can write makes little diff
ference. You have your W opinion
on the matter-that is what counts the
most.
"Graustark" will look for the answer
to the question. rather than the. word

the latter must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON.
The reason for this contest and his
particular question?
Well, George Barr McCutcheon
brought up the matter when he wrote
"Graustark' and he solved it as he
thought it should be solved Some
have taken exception to il and a gen
eral discussion has been started.
The story is as follows :
In far off Graustark, that mythical
kingdom of love and adventure, made
by George Barr McCutcheon's stirring
tales, lived a little princess, the reign
ing monarch of the p~rincipality.
Graustark, devastated by a late war,
in which the king dies in battle, is
hopelessly in debt to a n~eighboring
state that demands the hand of Grau-
stark's princess for their ruler, or the
immediate payment of the debt by a
certain date.
Princess Yetive of Graustark, while
travelling ~incognito in America, meets
Glenfall Lorry, a handsome, dashing,
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-03-23

heart, hand and happiness are at stake.
Princess Yetive, bound by the tradition
OF her throne, heredity and her coun-
try, that she can only wed a prince
of the blood, and a degrading marriage
to save her %country's honor on
side, and love, peace and happiness
with the man of her hearts choice on
the other, is torn with the conflicting
emotions Of Love and Duty.
Place yourself in the princess posi-
tion-your duty to your country on one
hand, your owe on the other. Which
would you choose?

The woma in the case this time is
Marjorie N1oreland, charming actress.
Her name has been linked with Good
wins for a long time-ever since he
risked his life to do her a favor and
got hurt, out in California. She
nursed him back to health, and
they've been good friends ever since.
Their relations have been so pleas
ant in fact hat Marjorie's former
husband has sued Goodwin for s25,-
GOO for alternating his Wife's affections.
The wife, in the meantime, has Sc
cured a divorce.
Should Goodwin again brave the
troubled waters of the matrimonial

three years until divorced in 1891;
Maxine Elliott, who lasted ten years
from 1898, and Edna Goodrich, who

IN each case, the ladies' getting

Why, the same thing he has been

Getting married has become some
thing of a habit with Nat. The
women have played an important part
in his career. Even the few periods
when he hasn't been married, the
swirl of ~petticoats has been the sub

actions. Briefly Nat has had a great
