After nine years he received his d.
ploma Of honor and many gold medals
from the conservatory, and from this
time began the brilliant career of the
artist.
In his native land he created q furor
in the prominent cities where he ap-
peared-Milan, Turin, Genoa, Bologna,
Florence, Venice and Naples. In Rome
he had the great distinction of playing
for the diplomatic corps, and his sue
cess was so great that by command Of
King Victor Emmanuel of Savoy he was
honored by profess orship in the
Royal Conservatory Of Naples for two
years.

New-York tribune., 1918-04-28
By Harriette Underhill

Some one said to US the other day,
"Have you ever seen Ivan Abramson
work. If you haven't, go over to the
studio now and you'll get corking
story" So. being in search of corking
stories for our gentle readers, over
TO the studio we went. And if the
story is not corking the fault is ours
and not Ivan Abramson's.
Every one knows that Mr.. Abramson
produces only pictures which carry a
message, and we entered the studio
in receptive frame of mind. We
were ready to be convinced, reformed,
or anything.
The new picture is, or rather is
going to be, "When Men Betray" Some
Of the betrayers are Stuart Holmes,
who has broken 1899 hearts on the
screen; Robert Elliott, who is only q
half-hearted villain, and Jack MacLean,
thoroughgoing but most attractive
young rascal.
Among the betrayed are Gail Kane,
the lovely and unhappy wife of Robert
Elliott; Sal,ie Crute, who deserves all
she gets, and Tulluhla Bankhead. Miss
Bankhead graduated from The SQUAD
Farm" and she is making her initial
excursion into the celluloid world 1t
seemed too bad that she should be so
badly treated right at the start. 1t
Lean won her girlish heart, and then
broke faith with her, leaving her to
face the consequences. And they
seemed serious ones, too, the sort that
may not be explained away.
But all is we'll, for just as she is
murmuring, "Ah, me; there is no we'd
ding ring upon my finger" up comes
Reed Hamilton. We had seen him
wandering about on the edge of the set
and wondered what particular part he
was to play in the drama, and then
we learned He is Dick Gardner, and
he seems to be the only man who is
not more or less OF rotter. He does
everything that no one else wants to
do and marries everybody to make
them happy, particularly Tulluhla
Bankhead.
And we knew what Isaiah meant
when he said, Sand seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying we will
eat our own bread and wear our own
apparel; only let US be called by thy
name; take thou away our reproach. y
Any one who thinks that directors
do not earn their money should see
Mr.. Abramson work. He can and does
play every part in the picture. Now,
he is the little blond daughter, aged
five, who is entreating Robert Elliott
to stay at home with Gail Kane.
Papa, papa!" he says in still, small
voice, do not leave mamma and me-"
There, do it So" And if baby could
only be half so dramatic as is her
director papa surely never would go
away.
But sallie Crute is waiting for the
renegade papa" She is standing in
the next set draped against black vel
vet and clad in most naughty and
fetching peignoir. She is a rival not
to be despised.
Miss Crute!" calls out Director

Shooting Stars With uan

Abramson from his point of vantage
back of the camera. Smile, nod. No,
not sweetly. Smile like Circe Fine.
Hold it; hold it, All, now we have
fine smile"
1t seemed like terrible waste of
money to US, for there never are more
than two or three people working at
once, and all of the others have to
stand about and draw anywhere from
$50 to 5000 day. But do they feel
that way about it? Mercy, no! Mo-
ton picture people can think only in
four figures. Anything else is trivial.
While Gail Kane and Robert Elliott
and Sallie Crute were having it out
we talked to Stuart Holmes. He has
red hair, bright red, and we have
seen him so many times on the screen
and never suspected it. He isn't the
least bit in the world like q villain
So he must be a wonderful actor In
the first place, he is an artist--a cubist
or something He can paint peoples
souls, and he believes that purple

ing green lamps mean something. We
listened politely to all he said about
art, but if we have it all wrong about
the purple lady and the pink stairs it
is because we were thinking of some
thing else. AS soon as he had finished
we blurted out, "How did you make
your eye stay shut when you played
the villain with Bertha Kalich?' 1t
was something we always wanted to
know ever since we saw the picture.
His reply proves that he is as clever
as We thought him. "Why, l stuck it
/. together with three hairs pasted over
the lid" So that was what gave him
that horrible, sinister look. How
simple!
And then we talked to Robert Elliott.
He looks just like Tommy Meighan.
They call them the twin Lambs. In
the picture he looks like a fine, up
standing business man. But he isn't
at all. He has lovely sense of humor,
and he said so many funny things that
we are going to save them for sepa-
rate story. And, any way, at present
"the time is out Of joint"
Gail Kane is in the middle Of big
scene. "My heart does not desire these
things of the world" she walled, with
the tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Give me your love! Your love is all
want, Hello, there; remember chop
suey!" The latter part Of the SEN
, tence has nothing to do with the case.
It was addressed to US, whom she had
just discovered across the studio. For,
although Miss Kane looks as though
she subsisted on nothing but ambrosia
and humming-birds' tongues, she really
can eat chop suey with the most
hardened veteran
We wanted to talk to Tulluhla Bank
head and Jack MacLean and Reed
Hamilton, and find out how they felt
about it, but they are in the thick Of
an argument concerning who Shall
marry Tulluhla," etc. SO we shall talk
to them later. And as we left the
studio we heard Mr.. Abranscn say,
"All right everybody. Nine o'clock to-
morrow morning." and we decided that
motion picture stars did earn their
salaries.

 time if the ownership of some of these properties could be permanently taken away"
 If the legislation be adopted, MT. Palmer stated it was his intention to sell principally the enemy properties in this country in which the German government and the "junker" capital istic class are interested and not dis turb that of minor individuals.
 The Hamburg-American and North German Lloyd wharves and docks at Hoboken, N. J.,Mr. Palmer told sen ators, are {" a part of the German em- pire's commercial grasp upon this continent
 Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, said he understood part of their stock is owned by the kaiser, represented by Herr Ballin.
 There is no earthly question about the intimate relationship of some sort between the German government and the Hamburg-American Hne," MT. Palmer told the committee. Neither is there any doubt about the relations between the German government and a large number of other great indus trial enterprises in this country, which come within the control of the alien property custodian"
 Plans of the German shipping lines to hold their dock properties for ex- tension of German commerce after the war were disclosed by MT. Pal mer, who added
 1"That is a fair indication of the hope and purpose of enemy capital
 
 war is over before they again put their grip upon the commerce and industry of America. You cannot strike heavier blow at the enemy today than to make him understand that he has lost his connection with the industry and commerce of the American continent.
 '"These large enterprises are afhl- lated closely with the German gov ernment. Where a German subject has an investment over here of a prt- vate, individual character. we ought not to disturb him. But these great industries, these great concerns financed by the Deutsches bank, sup ported by the junker class, are the kind we ought to Americanize."
 In one city MT. Palmer did not name, he said seven or eight great mills were entirely German-owned.
 ''It is a part of the German trust in this country he said ''I am making chocolate in Connecticut, rails iu Pennsylvania, woolens and worsteds fin New Jersey, chemicals in New York lumber in Florida, raising sugar in Porto Rico and Hawaii, to- bacco in many states in the South making beer in Chicago, and lead pencils in New Jersey.
 elf must simply sit here with the possibility of returning both principles and profits to the German owners al the end of the war, I am doing a tre- mendous favor to the German empire our enemy.
 '"The desire is that the title as vel as possession shall be permanently taken away from the German owners
 American interests in Germany ar negligible compared to German inter ests here" MT. Palmer said.
 ''She now is doing with us exacti! what we are doing with her." h, added.
 It is his intention to use the pro 0eeds of the enemy property to buI Government bonds.

Pretty jewe1ry of little cost.

This ewery store is of prompt good service to women who seek attractive tasteful jewelry that shall cost paratively little.
 No jewelry so fine that it can't be had through the Rowland jewelry store.
 No worthwhile jewelry so low priced that it, too can not be found here.
 There are good pearl necklaces with clasp of solid gold at $1 to $15 for example. Nobody would expect them to be genuine pearls but they are wondrouske genuine in color and luster.
 Barpins of sterling silver set with rhinestones- and look quite like the platinum beauties set with real da monds. Yet their cost is but $2 to $16.50
 Handsome necklaces of fancy beads, of those beads looking like precious and semprecous stones soc to $8.5O.
 Novel new earrings of cherry red-and some are mounted in black. Yet they are but 50 cents
 Small fine rosary beads are gold-fled and worthy and may be carried in ones purse if desired-$ -$5
