EIDE MAE, BRIGHT
GAYETY STAR, HAS
MYSTIC SEA SHELL

The Egyptian mirror, famous
power to reveal strange images and
scenes, is threatened by a rival today
IN the form OF a sea shell which IS
the property OF Miss Ede Mae. prima
donna of the million Dollar Doll'
Company, playing at the Gayety
Theater this week. In the glossy
surface OF the shell Miss Mae claims
she can see strange images and fig
ures, representing men. women, and
trees, waves and even the stars. She
found the quaint shell under a moss
covered ledge In the submarine gar
dens at the Catalina Islands, q short
distance from Los Angeles.
The actress was a member Of an
exploring party which set out from
Los Angeles in a glass -bottomed
boat. When the party reached the
submarine gardens ,he water was
clear and not very deep. Miss Mae
saw a beautiful shell on the sea bot
tom. partly covered by a ledge. A
diver went down and secured Il for
her and shortly afterwnrd she dis
covered its mystic properties.

In order to be able to SEA strange
objects in the surface of the she'll 1t
must be placed In a dark room, with
bare light of a phosphoric sub
stance. The shell then reveals fits
secrets. BY the phosphorlc light the
surface Of the shell seems to fade
away under steady, piercing eyes.
Gradually II appears as a glossy mir
ror and slowly, indistinctly at first.
according to the actress, the objects
become visible.

thought IT might be like any OF the
ordinary kinds OF shells that divers
find on the ocean bottom" said Miss
Mae today.
Il saw later that it had strange
properties. One night when II was

Actress Since Seventeen.
Miss Mae left the shell with hsr
relatives in California before she
came East few weeks ago to head
the Million Dollar Doll" company.
She has lived all her life in the West
and last month was the first time she
had ever set foot across the Mis-
sissippi river.
The versatile burlesque star has
been on the stage since she was
seventeen years old. This Is her first
burlesque season. Last year she was
in musical stock. She appeared In
successes in a number of west coast
cities. Miss Mae was born in Port
land, Ore.
Her healthy complexion, typical OF
the girl of the West, is due to horse
back riding across the broad plains of
her native section, she confided today.
She likes burlesque best of all her
stage ventures.
