WHEN CARUS
EATS
CALL FOR HOOVER


T o be invited to lunch with Sig
nor Enrico Caruso is not an
everyday adventure, and not
one to be forgotten easily. You will
be pleased because you would rather
hear him talk and watch his facial
expressions than to eat long pen
ierous lunchecn. While you are lis
ten'hg to the great tenor the waiter
appears with two cocktails. Caruso
lifts his and drinks to your health.
Perhaps you ask him if he is not
afraid of running his voice, and then
he laughts at you, You never saw
eggs cooked the way he has ordered
them for first course. You never
heard of salad made this way and
out of these things. You never
knew there was still another way TO
cook a chicken, and you aren't sure
that YOU, are eating potatoes, al
though the look very much like the
common garden variety dressed up
in new style. But corn on the cob!
Caruso does not eat itin public. He
says it is a delectable fruit which
should be consumed only in ones
boudoir, or bath tub.
Caruso is a connoisseur of wines
and cheeses. He will introduce to
you strange odorous cheeses that
you never knew existed, and il you
are not we'll acquainted with wines
you will believe that the amber Ii
quid he ordered is as harmless as
tonic-until later. He, eats fruit, and
them more fruit. When he has eaten
all the fruit he wishes, he drinks
black coffee and brandy.
Again you ask him if he is not
fearful of running his voice He says:
Bah! Have | not told you that |
never pet it? 1t is a strong voice
look4pound" And he insists that
you strike his chest with all the
force you can muster, and he laughs
at your efforts to make an impress
sion.
THE moving picture work gives
me hunger" he explains when his
new occupation is mentioned to him.
At the Famous Player studio, where
Mr.. Caruso was engaged in the max
ing of his first picture, my Cousin"
the property men and scene shutters
all knew his habit of eating fruit be-
tween scenes. and Mr.. Caruso was
never at loss for someone to run
out and buy new supply.
Caruso appears today and the first
halhof this week in this first of his
motion picture plays, 'N1y Cousin"
at the Rialto.
Margarita Fisher, who is appear
ing this week at the Sun in Money
Isn't Everything" has one not so
bad, but reckless habit. She doesn't
like to back out of a dare. On a
visit to the aviation camp recently
Miss Fisher found herself the center
of attraction for all manner of
charming young flyers in their nat
ty suits. And some one dared Mar
garet to make fight.
I'll admit that was nervous and
| had visions of myself falling in
gloriously through space and being
shown in news weeklies in my down
ward drop" she said. 1T would
certainly have been my last appear
ance in films, but if | have the op-
portunit yagain nothing will keep
me from going again. When an
auto salesman tries to sell me
new car this winter I'm going to
think of the glories of flying and
save my money and see if l cam.
get enough together to own an aero
plane in place of an auto"
Miss Fisher, who is we'll known
in Omaha from the years she spent
here in stock, has the reputation of
having an iron nerve and has always
gloried in her lack of dignity in
playing parts, her most successful
work having been the delineaton of
the very young American girl"
