AT THE BRADLEY

In making the pictures for the 10
mantle serial ''Patria," a chapter OF
which is to be shown at the Bradley
theater. Mrs. Vernon Castle. who plays
the title role. is called upon to do
thing which a less intrepid or capable
woman would have refused or been
unable to do. The heroine of '.Patria, -
produced for International and re-
leased by Pathe. is an expert rider,
swimmer. diver. denver. wrestler and
dancer, equally at home in driving a
motor car or z motor boat, and fam
liar with aeroplanes and all their
ways.
Those who have known Mrs. Castle
best as a dancer, remember her as a
slender, graceful creature. dainty and
syelte and fragile as a Dresden doll.
Most people watching her movements,
the very embodiment of grace, re-
ceiyed the impression that If she
should trip and fall she might break
into a thousand pieces. Well, none
OF this delicate. fragile and ethereal
personality has been lost in "Patria,"
and yet she does such hair-rising,
breath-taking, soul.gripping stunts in
motion pictures as to fill the beholder
with amaZement that one so fragile,
fraii and altogether feminine could do
them and survive.
