EMPIRE

T don't know why am not select ed to play nice, easy parts" smiled Geraldine Farrar, the famous prima donna now at the Empire theatre in Jeanie MacPherson's gripping drama for Aircraft Pictures, '-The Woman God Forgot which was produced un- der the personal direction of Cecil B. deMille. 'I always seem to get things like this,'' and Miss Farrar pointed to a pair of nearly nude Indian warriors who with arrow and spear were att tacking the mass of fighting Span Fiards but a short distance away from her.
 Five minutes before she paused, Miss F'arrar herself was leading the attacking Indians, and was surround ed by bying arrows and fighting men. You know,"i the diva continued. 'in Joan the Woman we had a num- Der of very strenuous scenes in which took part, and really believe that MT. deMille lies awake nights think ing of different combats in which I ! can enter. He has burned me at the stake and nearly had me killed in a number of different ways.
 However, I have certainly enjoyed
 making this pictures which deals witt the conquests of the Mexicans by the Spanish, and was never so fascinat- ed with anything in my life. I a'wa Ea had an idea that the Indians lived in caves and were a lot of uncivilized savages. but they are very highly ed ucated"

To Have Complexion
 That Men Admire

"A man may admit. with great sophistfcation, that powder and rouge are necessary aids to beauty" says a well-known writer, ''yet deep in his heart he dream ms of the woman whose loveliness needs no artificial touching up. Women who appreciate this. who give consideration to the masculine view point, avoid using anything that might indicate their beauty Is not all their own.
 Such women in increasing number are acquiring the mercolized wax hab- it. By applying the wax at night as they would cold cream, washing it off in. the morning, they secure, and main tain, entirely natural complexions. :. Their faces exhibit no evidence of having been 'beautified.' Nothing is added to the old iomplexion-the lat ter, instead. is discarded. Meriolized wax, procurable at any drug store Gan ounce is sufficiently, absorbs the de- vitaHzed outer skin. gradually, almost tmperceptibly. The fresh. clear. sat- iny underskin which appears, bears 6 healthy, youthful bloom not compara- ble with the fixed artificial coior."- Adv.

Trying To Protect
 Women Wage Farmers

London, Oct 2.-To find 9 solution of the problem of what is known as the woman pocket money worker" :" a conference convened by the Wo- mems industrial Council Is, to be held In October. It is asserted that large numbers of girls of good family are working in government and other of fees just for pocket money and there Is a danger of lowering wages for the genuine worker, particularly when the war is over.
 The council is endeavoring to i'm press on all working girls the neces- sity of not assisting any scheme which would send down the rate of pay for those who are obliged to earn a living. It is anticipated that after the war, there will be keen competi- , ton for work and that employers will take advantage to offer lower wages where competition gives them a chance.

THE WORLDS MOST
 WONDERFUL WOMAN

The worlds most wonderful woman will be the recipient of congratula- tions today on the occasion of her 72d birthday. She is a Jewess, and her name is Rosina Sarah Damala. She is great-grandmother. And she has but one leg. And she has died 50,0o0 times. Yet, at three-score and- ten she holds in thrall the ardent af- factions of.a vast multitude of men. Cleopatra herself never made so many conquests of masculine hearts.
 Mime. Sarah Bernhardt, widow of Jacques Damala, is this most wonder full woman-a title conferred upon her unanimously by the Latin and Ang1o-saxon worlds. She was born on Oct. 22, 1845, in Paris. Some bio- graphers have sought to make her a year or more older. and have said that she was a native of Havre. but the Divine Sarah admits to only 72 years, and rejects with scorn the allegation that she could possibly have been borne elsewhere, than in that dear Paris. For half a century she has played upon the stage, and for half that period she has been the acknowl- edged queen of the footlights, and the gratest teragedienne of her time, per-
 
 upon the stage not less than 50,000 times. Early in 1915, after months of suffering. she submitted to an op- eration for the amputation of her right leg. She had no sooner recov- cred than she began to accustom her self to the use of an artificial limb, | and to plan another farewell tour'' of America.
 It was s7 years ago that Mime. Bernhardt achieved her first triumph on this side of the. Atlantic. Since then she has made innumerable l farewell tours" of England and America.
 l Although her mother was a Jewess | and her father, petty official. is also said to have had Jewish blood in his 1 veins they had their daughter bap- tized and educated in Catholic con: l vent. !
 Only the Germans-who will ce1e. brate today the birthday of the Elm. press-deny the supremacy of Mime Bernhardt among the worlds women
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-10-22

Ever since the Franco-Prussian war the great actress has cordially hated the "Boches,". and that they return the feeling is evidenced by the horrf.s ble cartoons, in which the divine Sarah has been pictured in the ridicu- lous and immodest poses, published in the German papers in the last year.
 Mime. Bernhardt has never played in Berlin, although offered fabulous prices. and solicited to do so in behalf of the Kaiser. It is said that the German Emperor made repeated over lures to the actress, but that she steadfastly refused to visit the coun-; try which had defeated her beloved "patrie."
 The great actress played the, part of a heroine in real life during the seize of Paris, during the Franco Prussian conflict, and only recently said. just the other day, that she would gladly exchange her exalted position for that of a common soldier fighting the bates of France.
