A novelty was injected into the first
( night of "A King OF Nowhere" when
the bride OF the hero came upon the
stage at the end Of the second act and
embraced her husband, to the great de-
light Of all present
The hero was Lou-Tellegen and his
bride, Nine. Geraldine Farrar. The IA
nous opera singer and moving picture
actress, il is said, saw her husband play
for the first time.
His vehicle was a brave attempt at
costume play, written by J. and L.
de Rocher MACPHERSON, two Buffalo
women, and produced by Miss Jessie
Bonstelle.
Mr.. Tellegen was a mysterious Celtic
knight named Godred, who had been
for two years a defiant prisoner Of
Henry VIII at Hampton court. There.

married to his sixth cOnsort, Catherine
Parr) he IL dragged from jail and ques-

bedridden and has TO be wheeled about
throughout the play. This does not
keep him from waxing amOrOus at the
sight Of the Lady Margaret his wife's
maid Of honor.
But her ladyship has fallen IN love
with the imprisoned Godred. And
though that gallant knight insults the
king, Lady Margaret is ordered to wed
Godred or see him sent to the scat

Godred, however, will not hear of
saving his head at the kings bidding
He scorhs the lady's offer to marry
him and returns TO gaol. There. in the
dead Of night the lady visits him and
renewE her offer. Again GOdred spurns
her.
An hour later, as Henry listens to
the habiual shriks of his dead queens
in his bedchamber. Lady Margaret ap-
peals to him to have mercy on the
proud knight

Austrian and Hungarian people are not
permitted to see them.
With the permission Of the military
authorities, the German and Austrian
film companies obtained a number Of
good films OF actual battle scenes but
they were suppressed by the censor.
The war movies shown in Germany
and Austria-Hungary are about as
tame as they can be and show nothing
but prisons and training camps. march
ing bodies OF troops, destroyed build
ings and bridges. parades before rulers
and generals and groups Of fugitives.
Most of the films are old, as 1t is from
three to six months before they are
released by the censor.
No actual battle scenes are permitted
to be shown and the censor Is very
careful to cut out all films OF trans
ports OF wounded soldiers and other
pictures which might enable the pub
lie to make calculations in regard to
losses or dampen war enthusiasm.

a battle for a reputation behind the
footlights.
A few weeks ago Miss Collins was
engaged in inditfng briefs, complaints
and other uninteresting legal docu-
ments in the little California city, but
while her fingers were busy with the
typewriter keys. there were visions in
her mind Of success on the stage that
could not be banishsd.
Her singing teacher IN Chico, Mrs
William Medorn, was a friend OF Mrs.
William Truehart, OF Tucson, wife OF
manager Truehart, OF the Manhattan
company. and she often wrote Of a
wonderful young voice that she was
cultivating. The Trueharts became In
terested and when manager Truehart
organized his new company in Los An

her protege to get some actual stage
experience.
The dull routine OF the attorneys
office was left behind. and Miss COL
Inns made her first theater appearance
before an audience at Tucson q month
ago that gave her an ovation when she
sang the ballad, Il Hear You Calling
Me-" with a sweetness and expression
that caused musicians In the audience
to declare her voice one OF the best
that had been heard in the city for
several years.
The next day the little soprano ad-
mitted that her initial stage appear

but she has since gained confidence
and ease in repeated successes before
audiences at Tucson, Bisbee and Doug

Laura Reveals To, Helen the Secret Of Her Great
Unhappiness
Onhapplness.

TTHE telephone wakened Helen out
OF sound sleep. and she started
up hurriedly only to settle back on
her pillow with the knowledge that
Mary would answer it. She and War
rem had been up very late the night
before, and. as she had been very tired,
she had gone to bed directly after
lunch to get some sleep before Laura
should arrive.
The telephone rang again, and she
wondered irritably why Mary did not
answer. Really, she would have TO be
reproved II she did not do better; and
dhen Helen remembered that this was
Mary's day out. Again that annoying
tinkle, and this time Helen sprang up
and went out into the hall Her
hello was not too cordial until she
recognized Laura's voice.

The quality Of Laura's voice ban
ished the last vestige of sleep from
Helen's eyes-it sounded as though
she were in trouble and needed help.

natural, and the situation required an
unusual amount OF tact.

said sweetly, as though she. suspected
nothing.

She rubbed her eyes and then went
into the bathroom and plunged her
face into cold water. The icy sting
refreshed her and she proceeded
leisurely enough with the rest Of her
dressing. It was only o'clock.
