Paurel's Amusing Recipes

TEO DITRICHSTEIN, in the char
IL acter of Jean Paurel, opera
star, in "The Great Lover" gives
two recipes which are exceedingly
amusing. One touches on the cock
tail, and is as follows:
"Your ladies-elles sont ravis-
santes; but the cocktails-they are
like your nation-a very funny mix
ture. You put in bitters to make it
hot, ice to make it cold, whisky to
make it strong, water to make it
weak, lemon to make it sour, sugar
to make it sweet-then you say,
Here is to you, and you drink him
yourself"
The other describes the Cal4mita,
the Italian word for a lucky charm
that is worn suspended from a cord,
or a ribbon, about the neck. 1t is
supposed to safeguard the wearer
against every possible calamity. The
Calamita is usually a small, flat,
disk-shaped bag containing seven
substances. Jean Paurel describes
the contents of the one used in "The
Great Lover" as follows: "The claw
of an owl, a yiper's fang, a lock of
hair from a suicide, a shred from a
beggarman's coat, the scrapings from
a thief's nails, a chip from a ship
wrecked vessel and little piece of
a rabbits tail"

EXCITEMENT IS
MISS PRITCHARD'S
MIDDLE NAME

In the play Experience" which ran so
long at the Adephla Theatre this season,
there was pretty young woman character
called Excitement She. of course was of
the exaggerated type, more excitable than
human being in the ordinary affairs of the
world. However Francs Pritchard, the
clever and petite dancer appearing in "The
Blue Paradise" AT the Llr.c Theatre now,
is n striking personlfcltiuu OF excitement
for truly she dOtes on the ya"v word ''~r
chief worry, in fact, is deyising some new
excitement for heIselt .U4 ,..,-
sake
She detests, so her press agent ay",'rns
us TO ride in an automobile that jogs along,
but she is enthralled when the car is rae
ing at breakneck speed, lodging disaster
by hairs breadth, To her this is fun.
She despises the usual quiet and safe ball
room dancing, considering IL dun, stupid and
uneventful but II she has a partner who
can execute precarious leaps and dizzy
gyrations she has a world of pleasure
because she realizes she might fall any
moment and the battle against the accident
interests her. She simply cannot endure to
sit down quietly and converse in the usual
calm channels. She must be on her feet
moving about while she chats.
Miss Pritchard has been on the stage
just four years, but In that time she has
succeeded in getting squarely into the lime
light. She made her debut and first hit in
THE Peasant Girl" IN which she appeared
at the Lyric with Emma Trentini, Clifton
Crawford and John Charles Thomas. Prior
to her advent into the footlight world she
dauced for one year at Bustonaby's, In
New York, II was there that she was dis
covered by the MessTs, Shubert

BLIND VIOLINIST HAD
FAIRY-TALE LIFE

Abram TIaitovitch. the blind Russian yio-
linst who recently made his debut in Amer
lea at Brooklyn and has since played in
other States, win give a lecital this evening
at Witherspoon Hall here
In spite Of the handicap Che has been
totally blind since the age of two), Haito-
witch, now twenty-four, has touched renown
H. the musical world The story of the
young refugee, who, by the way won the
admiration OF the C2arina, reads like a
fairy tale.
Haitovitch who comes Of n poor family,
was born in the segregated section of the
small town of Ekaterlnslaw, in southern
Russia. An accidental A;o~y upon the head
caused hopeless paralysis OF the optic
nerves, II was about two years later that
the child first displayed a strong inclna-
tIun for music, encouraged as much as pos
sible by his parents. At school his muslcA.
tendencies were fostered by a friendly mas
ter, who taught the boy the rudiments of
musical knowledge and eventually aided
him In winning scholarship to the I'M
peral School of Music at Charcow. 1t was
there that he made his final choice of the
violin as the instrument that best suited
his talents, and also aroused the interest of
Professor Hirschmann, famous eye spe-
c!alist during one of his visits.
He had reached the age OF seventeen
when he graduated with high hOuors from
the Charcow Conservatory With his schol-
arshlp admitting him 10 the highest music
school in Russia, he made for the Imperial
Conservatory OF Petrograd. There under
the tutelage Of Leopold Auer Haitovitch
matured rapidly in his playing.
The name Of Haitoyitch and his record
with AueT had penetrated through the walls
OF the conservatory and # created no sur
prise when the Czarina commanded his ap-
pearance before her at a royal bazaar at
Petrograd, Immediately after ne was en-
gagged as soloist with the Odessa Symphony
Orchestra

souls, and Of ladies who, outside
their stage antiekings, are doubtless
good wives and mothers. But the
critic has naught to do with such
meditations. / myself, for example.

Results.

Washington, June 18.-The first
day of the big drive of the American
Red Cross, in its one-week campaign

messages which poured into Red Cross

of $100,0O0,000 would be rolled up at
the end of the seven-day period. No
completed total Of the days contri-
buttons was available, but partial re-
lations in the largest cities showed
that the response had bee generous.
Hundreds Of speakers experienced
in Red Cross work will devote their
entire time throughout the week to
making appeals for liberal contribu-
tions to the great fund. Thousands
of moving picture theaters during the
week will flash reminders on their
screens and other instrumentalities
will be employed to emphasize the ap-
peal to the public.
The apportionment of the fund
among the largest cities is as follows
New York city, $4,000, 900; Chica-
go, $1O,OOO,000; Boston, $6,O00,O0O;
