Nance O'Neil, she of the vital per-
sonality and compelling magnetism, is
a notable recruit to the motion picture
stage, and like dozens of other great
and well known dramatic stars she has
chosen to enter the photodramatic
field under the banner of William Fox.
The new vehicle in which Miss
O'Neil is seen under the William Fox
management and which is more pow
erful and thrillingly dramatic than
even other successes, Kreutzer Sonata,
Princess Romanoff, etc, is produced
by Frank Powell and has been named
"A Woman's Past" In discussing her
art recently Miss O'Neil said:
81 believe it is possible to make
people feel and suffer with you on the
screen just as it is possible upon the
speaking stage. This wonderful new
art-for it is new-appeals to me with
singular power. It. appeals for this
reason: that dramatic artists now have
q medium of expression different and
far broader than the so-called legiti-
mate stage. So intensely do 1 live
every moment that 1 work for the
screen that it became a saying in
the William Fox studios that Nance
O'Neil has lost her voice playing for
the pictures

The six Water Lilies introduced a
series of difficult dives They were
billed as daring divers and lived up
to the schedule Christie, Kennedy
and Faulkner, who have been at the
Novelty before, entertained in their
usual clever way. There was little
change, however, in the act. Lyle
and Harris opened the show with a
mixture of DonoIogue, singing, dane
ing and instrumental music, none of
which was bush league" The warb-
ling of the dummies in Vernon's act
was a feature. The ventriloquiSt had
a nice line of patter for his puppets.
