Salem society folk who sometimes
forget themselves and keep up a con.
tinuous round of conversation during
musicales and similar entertainments
win perhaps be interested to know
what happened to a prominent Eastern
society matron few weeks ago when
she persisted in talking during a the
atrical performance in New York:
"Alla Nazimova, the Russian actress
appearing at the Belasco theatre of this
city in Conception Shoals, wishes no
conversational competition when she
is engaged in the rigors of her role.
"When audible comments from the
box occupied by Mrs. Marshall Field
and her guests reached the sensitive
ears of Nine. Nazimova yesterday she
ordered the curtain ruin down and the
lights, with the exception of those in
the box, turned out.
"While the rest of the theatre was
in darkness the guests of the illumi-
mated box left hurriedly and were not
seen again when the curtain was rung
up on act 5, amid great applause by
the audience.
''The interruption took place at the
close of the second act when Miss Eliz.
abeth Lueklett, in the role of the
young mother of weeks old baby.
was giving helpful advice concerning
life to a girl of her own age,
who had up to this time been isolated
from all women through strange COM
bination of circumstances.
Mime. Na2imova turned towards
the box at this point and said distinct
fy: Curtain. and the scene was cut
short. "
