 Nor was this the only experience during the taking of the picture that caused Miss Schef to enthuse over the "unspoken drama" As you can picture from the plot, at one mo- ment she is out on the golf links, at another she is taking a steamer, os- iensibly for South Africa. Again she is wading with bare feet ill Darkest Africa to the utter astonishment of her straight-laced husband. And then | again she is with her poct-husband, listening to the purring of the waters while he breathes out his soul in verse. Not only that she has the very. dickens of a time with the three ot them, one after the other, in the mat ter of love-making, and you need not be shocked to see her sitting on the knee of husband Mo- }, after seeing her as closely associated with the for- mer two. This is to be expected from l the circumstances. of the case.
 l And such lovers. too. as they are. There is Owen Moore. the ideal lover, who wins her, loses her, wins her 1 again and keeps on wooing just the same and all the time. In addition to which Louis Bennison is admirably suited to the part of Ferdinand and Forrest Stanley to the part of Forrest 1 (these gentlemen having made their initial screen bow to Fritzi Schett ln this very production). To have one lover like Owen Moore would be the delight par excellence of any average woman. But to have thrce-well, words sometimes fail.
 But whether canoeing down plac- i'd lake, or climbing the mountains, or sailing away to Southland, it is the same Fritzi--the beautifully ygowned Parisienne. if one may call her such, though, strictly speaking. Miss Scheff was born in Alsace Lorraine.
 How long ago? Would you have one say? No, twas not long, but oh,. SO much accomplished in so short a space of time. One of the reasons perhaps. is because Fritzi inherited a wonderful voice from her mother, a prima donna at the Imperial Opera House in Vienna. Like her. Fritzi early gave evidence of remarkable tal- ent. At the age of five she sang iii church choir. In Frankfort she sang Juliet in Romeo and Juliet" Every one who is posted knows her exquis ite performances in "Mignon." La l D,,c<;~ov,oS

 terpiece of melody? Then in Faust and 'in "Iidello," when she sang Mar ge!l;no with the Metropolitan Opers ] Company when she first appeared II America--that IS an event known tt all music lovers.
