Something to Worry About.

As If we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as. carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re-
cesses of his. pocketbook day before
ray, are intent upon adding to our load
Of worry burdens. They-some Of
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
pIode. One of them, writing in Popu-
lar Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-
diets it's finish as the leading figure
In any solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 100000 miles
from each side, thus giving it's hot CEN
ter lS6, OGO,00O miles less Of room. So
you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like
the three-room-apartment couple when
visiting relatives begin their summer
vacation drives.-Syracuse Journal.

Pertaining to Mary Garden
By Mary Garden and Harriette Underhill

Last summer she was decorated by
the French and Serbian governments
Tor her war work.
She never wears pair of gloves
more than once.
Her luncheon, when she lunches at
all. consists of an apple and some dried
figs.
With her tailored suits she wears in
her buttonhole a crimson camellia.
On seeing the "ThaIs" film a critic
said that opera might we'll spare her
voice to give to the cinema her eloquent
body. 1t pleased her more than any
thing she has ever been told about her
art.
Two strings of pearls around her
neck, she says, are the largest speci-
mems in the world.
She promises to write her memoirs
Furthermore, she says her story will
contain no equivocations.
Diamond and platinum cuff links were
her parting gifts to electricians and
carpenters at the film studio. She gave
the property man a wrist watch.
One man got nothing. He used to
swear a. her Pekingese.
She calls her mother "momma."
Lucien Muratore she considers the
greatest living tenor. Amelita CALI
Curci she halls as the only singer COM
parable to Patti.
She is unalterably opposed to woman
suffrage.
She always speaks the truth
Cocktails and all stimulants she
eschews save pint Of champagne at
dinner.
Women interviewers annoy her, but
she receives them when she can't help
it.
She was very nice to US. That, too,
was because she couldn't help it.
The enmity of woman prevents
Mary Garden from singing at the
Metropolitan.
Chicago is the prima donna's favorte
city in America.
Philadelphia amuses her
New York appalls her.
She talks baby talk" to her dog.
She laughs at the "Teutonic hips" Of
an American singer in opera.
A new race of charming people, she
says, she has discovered.
'The cinemese," she calls them.
She has always refused to sing in
Berlin because she hates Germans.
She has excellent taste in all other

Mary Gardens real name is-Mary
Garden.
She was born in Aberdeen, Of strict
ss. Presbyterians. As child she
.snired to be violinist. Her family
Looked upon grand opera as advanced
iniquity
A. fourteen she determined to be a
singer. Her mother still has Mary's
violin in its closed case.
Her mother opposed her going on the
operatic stage. Her father encouraged
her.
Her fayorite role in opera is "ThaIs.' p
Her ambition is to sing Mephistopheles
transposed to mezzo-soprano. "Thais'
has been sung by Mary Garden over
eight hundred times. Her film of
"ThaIs" probably will be shown eight
million times.
She hated acting in pictures at first ;
now she loves it. Working in the open
air, in Florida, brought about the
. change Rather than appear on the
, ever. Mary Garden is not tall. The
long lines of her gowns make her seem
so. She is beautiful. She wears a diff
ferent wig for each character she as
.umes. One OF them is worth $1,000.
She wears it in "Pelleas ct Nell
sande.7 Her hair is red.
Mary Garden sings only in French,
though she did create "Natoma" in Eng
lish. By intelligent dieting she has re-
duced her weight fifty pounds. Her
eyes arc bright blue.
Mary Gardens speaking voice is
rather high, her manner animated. She
has q wonderful English accent, which
we are all trying unsuccessfully to imi-
tate.

During the long and brilliant run of
"The Bluebird" at the New Theatre,
now the Century, two of the charac
tiers suffered a heavy handicap-that
of dumbness. They were the Dog and
the Cat.
Now however that Maurice Tour
reur has made screen version of the
Maeterlinck story these two have come
into their own and are for the first
time on an equal footing with the other
members of the cast.
The Dog and the Cat have always
been the especial joy of the children
whose ages range from five to fifty. In
the screen version only two of the
original players have been retained.
One Of them is Tom K. Corless, whose
remarkable makeup and nimble aero
batics are sources of delight to lovers
OF pantomime.
Mr.. Corless has been in this country
only few years. he came here from
Ireland, where he was born At first
young Corless was not discriminating
IN his theatrical engagements. He
found his first outlet riding diving
horses and elephants at the Hippo
drome. His dramatic parts have in
ciuded roles ranging from lads Of four

grand opera.
