A Certain Darling
Who Traded OF, Her
Charms at a Ball

The generosity of theatrical folk is
proverbial. Equally worthy OF fame Is
their ingenuity in inducing others 10
mart with lucre. The truth of this as
sertion was conspicuously Illustrated
recently at charity ball.
The ball had scarcely started when II
became apparent that a certain stage
beauty was being fairly overwhelmed
by applications for dances. And then
great idea came to her. She whispered
to a compa nion, who started at once to
Lut her idea into execution. A few
minutes later, when the music stopped,
:, distinguished looking member of the
committee that had arranged the ball
mounted platform and announced
that in view Of the evident determlna-
ton of all the men present to dance
with one Of the young ladies, she saw
no reason why she should not turn such
unwonted popularity to account, which
is TO say, to the advantage of charity,
and he proceeded forthwith to sell the
next ten dances with her.
In less than ten minutes the transac-
tion was accomplished and ten checks
for 81 900 each we're in the young lady's
hands. 1t took little time for her to
indorse the checks and intrust them to
the committee for apportionment
among the war charities for which the
ball was held. Then the dance went on
The quick-thinking young woman
was Grace Darling. Whether or not 1t
was because any one who has spent
two years in the movies doing such de-
llberate things as stepping from a
moving train to a moving automobile,
hopping nmbly out Of flying aeroplancs
and the like, must be quick thinking. it
sufFices to say that because of her eff
forts the bali has the record Of netting
Z greater sum for charity than any one
single event ever held at Palm Beach.
And all this leads up to the fact that
New Workers may soon have the chance
TO emulate their care-free brethren
down at the Florida resort. Miss Dar-
ling, Who never in all her life acted
before any audience but motion pict-
are director, the camera man and what
ever other persons may have been in
the picture. is going on the stage She
Will have prominent part in "Rock "a
Bye Baby" the musical play which Sci
wyn & Go. will soon produce.
Al soon az the play opens and Miss
Darling is quite used 10 getting out on
n stage and singing and dancing and
this, she says is going to be the hard
eat Of all-taIkjng, before lot Of pco-
pic, she is going 10 conduct nightly
auction sale of dances for whatever
charity most needs her help. She will

When Landof
Wandered in
Moroccan Wilds
Passed for a Dumb Arab ir,
Troupe of Travelling
Acrobats

Sometimes in spare minutes back-
stage at the Hippodrome Bluch Landolf,
the inimitable clown who supplies a
large share Of the humor Of "Cheer
Up." may be seen leaning against ono
Of the props swapping yarns with 4
thin. brown member OF the Slayman All
troupe, Hamed by name.
And ten to one they are talking OF
the days when both were boy acrobats
im the service Of Hadj Abdullah, wan
dcring across the desert sands of Mo-
rocco, driving before them their wages
from performances in the native viii
layes-wages which took the form OF
sheep or goats. or little bundles of
previous firewood. But never money.
In the coast towns Of Africa money is
used only for barter.
In his present characterization Bluch
would probably look like the devil HIM
self to these simple sons of Allah. But
in those days he was as good an Arap
as anybody, for the willy old shelk VINO
headed the troupe, and who took Bluch
on in England because of his qu!ckness
and small stature, had taken the pre-
caution to stain him we'll with the
;uices of the green walnut and to dye
his hair black.
And since the death Of Christian
dog was counted as of much gain TO
the true Moslem, it was held pe11er
that Bluch should travel through MO
rocco where the troupe was hunting
reinforcements in the shape OF ne"
native bows, as deaf and dumb lad
Ono thus afflicted meets with special
consideration in the Manome'ai'
countries, SO .Bluch was accorded a
cordial reception in the tiny hamlees
where they stopped at night to l1gh'
their fires and send out challenge 10
the native sheik to bring forth MS
ceverest performers.
In the course of long and elaborate
conversation, interrupted by many
salaams and much ceremony, the shelK
would contend that he had boy VINO
could leap over three cameis. The chai-
1enger would offer to match nm WIN
mis- own fleetest of foot. But during
the contest old Hadj Abdullah always
stood close beside the three camels'
and when his own boy made the leap
he whispered to them so tnat they
huddled closely together, while LOT the
village star at another command they
would separate just enough to MAKE
him craze the back of the, last eamel
and be thereby disqualified. In TINS
way he won many good meal and
Gun of wine, besides more substantial
prizes in the form of sheep and goats
And when Bluch, after many years
of adyenturing, came to the Hlppo-
drome. to be acclaimed the funniest
clown of many seasons, what was MS
surprise to find among the Arabs OF
the Slayman Ali troupe that Hamed
who had been the little apprentice BOY
70 old Abdullah what time Bluch was
the nimble "top-mounter,' who formed
the apex of the human pyramid WITH
out which no acrobatic repertory is
complete.

By Harriette Underhill

"Oh, Lady! Lady" is more thar
ordinarily musical comedy, with
Vivienne Segal and Carroll McComas
in the title role.
Besides these two ladies there are
dozens of other ladies, but one must
not fancy, because of this, that it is
just an oldfashioned musical comedy
with chorus girls and that sort of
thing. No, indeed.
If one fancies so one is mistaken,
for the ladies also furnish the atmos-
phere and the necessary noise in the
ensemble numbers. All wear distinctive
gowns and have their names on The
programme. One no longer says '''the
chorus is" One must say ''the chorus
are"
Whoever chose the names for the
ladies was, apparently, always thinking
of something to eat. He called them
Halle Butt and Cassie Roll and Viz
glnia Hamm, while we would have pre-
ferred 7. Rose and Ferne Greene and
Violet Astor.
But, on the other hand, the men
were called Stewart Prune and B. Rus
sell Sprout and II. Ash-Brown. ONLY
one of them should have been called
P. R. Snip, and he wasn't.
Right after Constance Binncy saws
Il wonder what time they will be
here" Vivienne Segaf comes on. and
things begin to happen. First. she has
an alteration. with her mamma. Mar
garet Dale, just because mamma seems
+ to think that she knows more about
marriage than daughter does, because
she has been married and daughter
isn't going to be until the next day.
But then Carl Randall appears, and
one knows right away that he is going
to be an ideal husband, because he
dances so we'll. Some one said that he
could dance like that when he was six
years old, but we cannot vouch for
the authenticity of this. We merely
pass it on for what it is worth.
Vivienne Segal and her mother
Margaret Dale, are such democratic ic
people! They allow their maid, Con-
stance Binney, to dress up in pink
tarlatan and ballet slippers and dance
at the party held on the roof of Will
loughby Finch's studio, in Washington
/ News.
And. then Carroll McComas comes on
in an orange chiffon frock, trimmed
l with darker orange, and for the time
being everything else is of minor inn
! portance.
People are always trying to analyze
personality. 1t can't be done. You
can't explain it, you can only recog-
nize it, but at any rate we immediate

KAISER Wilhelm
A War MANIAC
Summer Palace at Corfu
Shows Huge Statues of
Mars, Achilles
WILMINCTONIAN
GETS PHOTOGRAPHS

George Stuart Dole, son OF the Rev,
George Henry Dole. OF this city. in com
msnd OF a U-boat chaser in European
waters, writes graphically 70 his
father OF the Kaisers palace at Corfu,
and throws muoh light upon the nature
Of the Kaisers makeup. He says;
"I drove to the Kaiser's summer pal
ace and took few pictures. The Kaiser
is surely a worshippe OF Mars and
Greek mythology. He has a statue OF
Mars forty feet high on the grounds
the largest there by twenty-five Feet.
He has statues OF Achilles and other
Greeks. Busts Of the Greek priloso-
piers adorn the corridors and porches.
There Is also an immense painting OF
Achilles dragging Hector about the
walls OF Troy. II Is wonderful piece
OF work. The Kaiser has nothing on
the place that represents anything but
war, excepting the chapel. The chapel
forms a small bay In one wing, II being
a room sgout thirty feet square. He
has incense burning there at all times.
A statue Of the Virgin Is on one side
OF the altar In q niche, and Christ on
the other side Of the altar. An oil
painting Of the Madonna and the infant
Christ is back OF the chsncel. In the
dome over the chancel, In stained glass,
is pictured Christ bound before PLATE.
On the table before the chancel were
three cards framed, bearing Latin In
scriptlons, translations OF certain parts
Of the Word. The print was small and
the light dim. / could translate only
one phrase, which was in bolder type
"This is my flesh"
-Four Of the principal designs on
the walls OF the palace were satyrs
and centaurs carrying away women, and
that was the chief design In the
principal balcony and psssageway OF
the palace. Some Of the rooms | could

as a hospital, and some OF the cases

EVERYBODY
USING TONSILINE!

The Spanish influenza epidemic has
meant a wonderful increase in the sale
Of Tonsiline-The National Sore Throat
Remedy.
The moment medical authorities ad-
vised frequent use OF an effective gar
gle to sterilize the throat, which these
deadly germs must use as a gateway
and breading ground in entering the
body. countless families went to their
medicine shelf or sent TO the nearest
druggist for a bottle OF Tonsiline.
Also, the majority of those afflicted
with this dreaded malady found them
selves suffering from decidedly sore
throats and many OF them have renewed
their faith in this time tried remedy.
For moro than a quarter OF a century
Tonsiline has been relieving most Of
the sore throats in the territory where
IL was sold. This record stamps 1t as
being particularly indicated right now
as preventive and relief in dong its
share toward ending the present situa-
tion. lt is as safe as a Liberty Bond.
