The Ladies of ION, Lady!!'

OFT the stage as she is on. She is
filled with nthusiasm-pep, if you
like-and she loves doing musical
comedy, although she appears in it
only sporadically.
"You see," said Miss McComas, "I
didn't feel strange doing it when we
began to rehcarsc, because so many
of the people in the company never
have been in musical show before.
have, once OR twice, but not for long
time, and SO it is just like vacation"
All along we had intended to ask
Miss McComas for the orange gown
she wore in the first act, or at least
to ask her where she got it, but no
propitious opening occurred, and while
we were trying to make one she asked
us If we didn't think the girls in the
show were beautiful. "Whenever l
look at Them with their wonderfully
groomed hair, | think of what one of
the critics said about me. He said
that my hair looked as though it had
received hours of inattention; and so
the management sent back word for me
to fix it up slick and trim, and I did.
Well, when they saw me so they let
out wall and said Put it back Do
you know that I look exactly like a
highbrow onion with my hair arranged
sneatly?"
Here was our chance. 1t was but a
short step from an onion to an orange
gown, so we said: "May we have the
first act gown when You don't want it
any more?" And, without an instant's
hesitation, Miss McComas answered.:
eyes, you may have it when the show
Closes And we knew what she meant.

If you contemplate talking to Mar
guerite Sylvia and you wish to talk
about grand opera or motion pictures,
do not stage the interview in her
home on Riverside Drive, for in that
case you won't talk about any of the
things you have planned to talk about
You simply couldn't ask her about
her Interpretation Of Carmen when you
can look at pictures Of her handsome
husband, Captain Bernard L. Smith,
and play with Marguerite, jr., and hear
her talk French to her nurse, and dis
cuss clothes and housekeeping and
love and marriage Gas some cynical
librettist says, "the two are not synon-
ymous"),7 and Belgium and Paris and
theswar and flying.
Nine. Sylvia knows all about the last
three, at any rate, for she was born in
Belgium and educated in Paris and her
husband is flying.
The day after our first meeting with
Sylvia she gave q private showing of
her picture, Carmen" to which we
were hidden. 1t is quite marvellous,

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 MON, 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-
ton 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 Oar
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

Bye Baby" the musical play which Sci

Al soon az the play opens and Miss
Darling is quite used 10 getting out on
n stage and singing and dancing and

pic, she is going 10 conduct nightly

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
In 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
endorsements 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 that 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 hippo
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.

sob, 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 Aston.
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
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
