MAJESTIC THEATRE

"Mignon," in its lyrical form on the
grand opera stage, enjoys a popularity
which began half century ago, and
which increases rather than dimin
ishes with the passing years. This is
due to its picturesque and stirring plot
which lends itself so well to film dra'
matization.
"Mignon" is taken from Goethe's
immortal wilhelm Meister." The for.
lorn heroine pictured by Miss Beatriz
Michelena, star of this capable pro-
ducing company, beautifully portrays
the emotions of imperilled beauty and
girlish innocence in her characterize
ton of "Mignon."
In "Mignon" will be found the high

weeks of consultation with stage
celebrities who signitied their will
ingness to appear in pictures. Two of
the ten manufacturers held out. and
no progress was made until the fol-
lowing spring, when Mr.. Raver sue

A magazine illustrator possessed TIE
services of model which We're his hly
valued on account OF the mans ability
to wear evening clothes like a society
man." a feat which many professional
models can not achieve.
This model had seen better days,
but the only remaining relic OF them
was his dress suit and his ability to
wear It properly Sometimes he would
turn up half an hour before the time
appointed for his sitting. wearing a
shabby business suit. After some min
utes' conversation on any topic that
popped in his head. he would finally
approach the matter that distressed
him like this:
You will pardon me, sir-1 regret to
say-I am overwhelmed with confu-
sion-but-but, sir-if You will excuse

Now this sort OF thing continued for
a long time, until finally the illustra-
tor hit upon the plan OF hiding the
models business suit while he was out
of the room. sending him home in his
evening garb. confident that he had nc
other, and that he would return the day
after ready 70 pose.
The hour arrived, but, instead of the
model, there came messenger boy
with this note:
