when she deserts husband and child
 for this gay Lothario, is promptly
 thrown over by her lover and in turn
 she promptly throws herself over a
 parapet and ends her life; the gypsy
 husband swears revenge on the dast-
 ardly coward who has ruined his home
 and is the murderer of his wife-to all intents/ and purposes-and this brings us to "The Play.'
 Nazimova in The Prologue" takes the part of the gypsy wife and later plays the part of the gypsy gi~l "Zorah''-and she does both wonderful ly well. The story is interesting-an intense melo- -drama-and keeps the as- tention right up to fever heat all the way through It turns out that the rich American who visits the gypsy camp and offers his gold to the gypsy man if he will allow him to educate his daughter-is one and the same william who wrecked the gypsy mans home in the days gone by; no one recognizes the man however-ne' s grown old and rich and fat and un- interesting-and so-the little story weaves on.
 Two years afterward-the gypsy girl finishes her schooling and returns home only to find that the young law yer with whom she has been fascinated the friend of the rich man who IS 1 educating her, is engaged and this

 The rest of it? I've noticed in the best circles" people who review" pic- ture plays and things don't tell the finale so I'll reserve that for your own inspection; but the play is interesting and Nazimova takes advantage of every opportunity afforded by the thrilling romance for her talents.
 In able support of the star is Charles Bryant. Nazimova's young husband Gin real life); Irving Cummings as the gypsy lover; Frank Currier, Dodson Mltchell; Edward J.

0CJ HERE are two kinds of girls
 Mabel and the other lxind,"

YIN HERE are two Kinds Of girls Mabel and the other kind" the young swain declared in days gone by and to para phrase the statement it may be said; There are two kinds of actresses Nazimova-and the other kind" Furthermore-you either feel this way about Nazimova or you don't; you either like her tremendously or you cordially dislike her; as for instance witness; I sat by a woman yesterday at the Alcazar theatre where the great Russian actress is playing to tremen- dous audiences in the story of gypsy love and gypsy life and I heard her say to her companions
 q never liked Nazimova before; I've always thought her terribly unattrac- tive and foreign and queer looking but I've changed my mind; I think she's stunning in this play and I'll never say again I don't like her.; and there you are!
 Personally, I've always adored Nazi- nova; her art and her personality are both so insistent-so unique-that she's in class all to herself as far as I'm concerned; I'm speaking of her now on the legitimate stage. Later I saw her for the first time in pictures in War Brides"-do you remember that gripping play? She flrst made it famous on the stage then later 1t was done into pictures Well I signed Up right then and there with her as screen artist; and by the way why don't some picture show house reproduce "War Brides?' It's one of the very best of all the war plays
 Later, I saw Nazimova in some sort of spirituelle, symbo1ical, sort of thing, Resurrection" "Revelation" or some- thing-I don't remember the name, but remember it was a marvellous bit of screen work; so--ever since then I've looked for her name in pictures-and ever since then I've looked in vain, un- til "rhe Toys of Fate" was flashed on the screen.
 Nazimova knows well the art of the cinema; her vivid personality and her charm as poseur is emphasized by the lights and shades of the camera and in the big emotional scenes she is simply wonderful.
 Please understand that there are many who may not agree with me about this; I'm speaking purely from my own personal standpoint: 8 clever woman friend of mine the other day disagreed with me about criticisni I wrote about picture and told me she was going to send me the bill for her admission, and she went because l recommended it; so I'll just say right here that maybe you won't agree with me at all about anything I'm saying, so the best way to find out if I'm right, is to go and see for yourself.
 sThe Toys of Fate" is scenario ed by Jane Mathis who has done a pret- ty bit of work; there's a Prologue" which tells of the sad fate of the gypsy mans wife who falls in love with the rich American gentleman and

SATIN AND FUR.

The Parisienne is dressing very well
indeed this winter At a recent }
o'clock with tea and no milk. but
very appotizing cakes. the women
were wearing most becoming long
coats of satin trimmed with fur. and
with them satin hats with 'draped
crowns and brins turned back from
the brow in a loose roll. The effect OF
so much satin and fur was rich and
most attractive. The coloring was
sober and the lire very graceful.
neishbor. but had something different
in IL to suit its wearer One may say
that all were long and trimmed with
fur. with fur collars which fastened
close up and could be opened over the
shoulders; but some coats were slit
up the sides nearly to the waist;
others were crossed over very far in
'front.' some had fur a yard deep all
the way round. some had fur bands q
foot deep in patches. others had deep
bands put on as pockets, and others
yet had three or four narrow bands
as trimming ON the skirt. Black satin
prevailed, although brown and tete de
negre and gray have a place in the
general scheme.
The satin hat is certainly the most
in favor for the moment, and a new
idea is to trim it with brocade or
panne. Just a twist OF one of these
materials somewhere among the folds
is very effective.

When Pat stopped reading the let

who loved him so devotedly but for
whom he felt no stronger emotion
than respect, Tim reached forward
and said, Let me see the envelope
that letter came in, please
Pardon me, commissioner, 1 would
rather not" said Pat as he folded up
the letter and put it in his pocket
DO you believe that any woman
could keep on loving a man for years
as this letter seems to intimate this
woman loved John Sterling and not
realize until he told her that all the
love between them had been on her
side?" asked Alice.
81 think so,' said EIiene. ''She
might have thought that the man was
not demonstrative and you can read
lily see how sincerely he admired her.
| am not sure that he did not really
have a very great deal of affection for
her."
What do you think was the reason
she sent the letter to the newspaper %

Il think" 1 said, that she had an
idea of hurting someone-some wom-
an that John Sterling loved. She en-
pected that you would publish the

in this city was one woman who
would understand"
DO you think she thought that the
woman he loved was his wife, ask
ed Jim.
Never in a thousand years" was
Eliene's answer. "She knew from his
affair with herself that he did not love
his wife.
''And so she was perhaps blinded to
the fact that if that letter was pub
lished there would be a pretty scan
dal," said Pat. But listen to the last
evidence in the case" he added.
