via Broadway, Harriette Underhill says:
 She was born De Remer and christ ened Rubye, so her name is really Rubye De Remer. even out in Denver, where she saw the light of day 20 years before Rex Beach saw her and asked her to play the lead in his Auction Block"-because, he sain, she was the most beautiful girl he ever had seen.
 This is a bird s-eye view of the career of Miss De Remer, of the Midnight Frolic' and the Rex Beach pictures who a year ago had never even seen that magic street called the Rialto, with the elusive rainbow at the end of it.
 If Miss De Remer's mother had known just how she would look when she grew up she probably would have called her Pearl instead of Rubye, for she is divinely tall and, oh! most divinely fair She looks as though she were made of peaches and corn silk ard bits of blue sky | and pearls, all fastened together with crisp pink icing.
 Miss De Remer speaks of her | S"N~NI1CNA for which she is grateful, but feels that she deserves no credit. She seems totally lacking in conceit, in spite of the fact that she was se- lected to play the part of Lorelei Knight, because she was conceded to be the most beautiful girl ill New York.
 Yes" she said, when we asked heI if this was true, q believe they did
 say something or the sort. but ii would have pleased me far more if had been chosen because of my talent. I have no illusions on the
 subject, and I did not believe that I had sufficient dramatic ability tC
 play the exacting role of Lorele
 Knight. I told MT. Beach so, but
 after they had given me a trial
 they said to go ahead aLd they
 would take all the responsibility; SC I did. 1 had previously made bu
 one picture, and when Mir. Beacl
 said that 1 would do. I was wild witt joy and faint with apprehension. fol

my success means more to me than anything in the world.
 When 1 came to New York a year ago, l came because l could sing and I believed that I would never do very much in Denver. Well, as soon as I arrived here I lost my voice and could not sing a note for three months. I would not ask for assist ance, and so when my funds grew low I went to one of the agents who supply the extra people to the biz film companies, and almost imme- diately l found myself in front oi the camera, scared to death. oi course, and not knowing a thing about makeup.
 | Five dollars a day, some days isn't affluence, but it does buy bread and a little butter. and then pres ently I was offered the part of the good little girl in "Enlighten Thy Daughter" This was far beyond my fondest dreams, and when it was finished no one believed that it was my first picture. Then success came knocking at my door, or, at least. a cessation of financial difficulties which portended success. And MT. | Ziegfeld offered me Oliver Thoma' g part in the .Frolic.' My voice re turned, and, on top of all this, MT. Beach chose me to play this won derful part.
 T have worked hard, but haven't worked any harder than thousands of girls who never have any good luck at all. I felt every minute as though I ought to say: I am grateful do appreciate it. so that I may be allowed to keep what has been given to me by kind fate which watches over girls who come from Denver to New York to seek their fortune"

small fortune, and to be the joint work of Lady Duff Gordon Nucille) and other famous modistes, including kolinsky, of New York and Paris.
 The story of ''The Red Mouse" is too we'll known to need particular review. Miss Brady plays the part of the little French maiden, daughter of a country inn keeper who loves too well an American artist. How this slip of girl, realizing that money alone can make of her sweet heart a great artist, how he can, by the possession of money, achieve his lofty aims, deliberately bargains with an old rogue for the sale of herself, that the boy she worships may have his chance.
 How this great sacrifice" brings them happiness later and how her wonderful love triumphs over all, is revealed in this heart story of the Little Red Mousse She laid her honor on the altar of true love and considered the giving of that pre- cious symbol of her girlhood, little to pay for the success of her lover,
 Her Silent Sacrifice is one great big handsome story with the finest of settings and the greatest cast that Miss Brady has ever worked with in her screen career.
 Starting out after a long engage ment with the World Film company to make a place for herself 1T. the special hitch occupied by such stars as Pickford, Young, the Talmadges Fairbanks and others of the first rank, her success is mighty grati- flying to her thousands of friends made while associated with less pre- tentious pictures in her past career
 The story of "The Red Mouse" is not one that might originate il America, where women do not love with the same passionate abandon as they do in the Latin centers nevertheless, it is a remarkable crea ton and is handled until the stins of calling "a spade a spade" is re moved in the adroit manner knowI only to the artist who created thi: wonderful picture, Edward Jose, wh' all will recall filmed Theda Bara'i "A Fool There Was" It remain: for three days, and the usual lii caution to those who can to attent | the day shows accompanies, as seat at night are always at a premium

"LURED AWAY" IS
 COLUMBIA'S BILL

A story said to be true to life comes to the Columbia for Tuesday only. .Lured Away" is the title of the film and the story it tells is said to be well hinted. at by the name of the picture itself
 A country girl, not satisfied with her rural surroundings, longs for city life. One day a fine looking chap happens to meet this girl and 3 short time later the two depart for the city's bright lights. The rest might be guessed were it lot that the tale takes a strange turn, mak- ing the picture one decidedly out of the ordinary.
 A novel feature of the bill is the fact that Mrs. Macdonald, author of the story, and the one who enacts the mother in the picture, is also it's producer and appears before the screen to give short talk to girls and women before the film itself is shown. Her talk is said to be a striking combination of informative | fact and advice to girls and women who might face a situation such as | the picture presents.

William s. Hart, the greatest living exponent of western types of the early days. For his picture during this engagement, Dakota Dan' has been selected, and judging from the advance notices, the picture is well up to the Hart standard. There is a dramatic quality evident in all of his portrayals which places Hart in the lead of all the character actors using the western type as a character study. His work is in- tense at all times, but it never loses the naturalness of the matter of fact pioneer whose word was his bond. He. never resorts to the melo- -dra- : matic in putting over" a scene, re-
 sorting rather to the convincing style which has become recognized as the
 standard by all the fans throughout the land.
 Augmenting the Hart feature will
 be an exceptionally strong Metro
 offering, starring popular Harold Lockwood. "The Averaging Trail" is the label, and it is said to be the
 most strenuous role this actor has ever portrayed. He is seen as g lumber jack. the leading character in an appealing drama of the north | west woods. The exterior scenes are said to be wonders of photography

Warsaw, Dec. 2l In discussing the
political situation in Poland, especially
as regards the Jews, Prof. F. Tutermilch,
a Polish editor and writer, said today
The present pogrom agitation has
been seized upon by Jews, at the ex-
pense OF the Polish nation. for the pur-
pose OF influencing the peace congress.
The Jews esNpect 10 obtain na-
tionality concessions.
The Jewish question in Poland is
not religious, since We have never inter
fered in that direction Ii Is political
What they really purpose 10 do through
their nationalist party Is not only 10 get
schools, but To have their own court OF
Justive and also their own Parliament.
They really wish to form state within
state, yet they intend also 70 take part
in our own political hfe II Is absurd
They are now interfering with our
new government and attempting 10
divide our political parties There are
five Jewish parties. The largest is the
orthodox. but the socialist party which
is divided into Bolshevihi and radicals,
is very active.
As for the pogrom situation, it IS
mostly propaganda. For instance, two
months ago | was in Cracow and | read
in the newspapers that there had been
pogroms in Warsaw When | returned
| found the only foundation for the
story was that there had been a quarrel
between two butchers, one Jew and
one a Christian
However for the past ten years the
Jews have been publishing broadcas
throughout the world misstatements
about Polish .pogroms. which was un-
grateful when it is considered how help
less the Poles, SO long a pawn among
the nations, have been We have never
attempted to drive out the Jews
