dissuade me from any such effort.
"The day when the mother was es-
sentially home body is passed, and
instead parents are becoming more and
more the companions Of their children.
1t is no longer considered undignified
for women who have reached middle
age to enjoy many Of the same pleas
ures as their daughters. and this has
had the splendid effect of linking them
closer together.
ut has often been said, and think
with much wisdom, that the person who
really enjoys life is the one who re-
fuses to take age seriously and who
meets the advancing years with a
smile instead of shudder. By this
don't mean, of course, that a mature
woman should try and act like a de-
butante, but really feel that one need
age but very little in appearance and
manner If one only keeps the heart
young.
"When decided several years ago
to take up this line of characters
made up my mind that was not going
to play old women who had bowed to
the advent of age. Simply because a
person has reached the years of dis

l can only say that have found them
to be much more satisfying and ap

them gets as much enjoyment out of
them as do then they have tapped a

Chatting With Miss Kaelred

Some of them are, of course. Miss
Kaelred is, for she is handsome

and she radiates understanding and
charm and womanliness. Also, we are
willing to wager anything that she has
devil of temper. In fact, she ad-
mitted it, though she said that the only
thing that ever reused it was stupidity.
We can fancy that Miss Kaelred would
not have any great patience with that,
And the things we talked of; for we
soon found Qt that our interviewee
knew everything. We spoke first of
independence for women and of how
difficult it is for woman who sue

in reality. there is no great hatred
between persons unless they are of the

provocation the sex hatred leaps to the

Here we told Miss Kaelred that we
never had seen her in "A Fool There
Was" "Thank heaven for that.

person who ever has told me 80. And
ever since I played Kipling's Vampire

And then we spoke of motion pict-
ures, and, to our joy, Miss Kaelred re-
CARDS them seriously, and she SAYS that
she really enjoys working in them and
wishes to make moro Of them.

American Actors Respond
To Call for Volunteers

~ want to offer my services in any
way you think best, but above all,
want to CO." That was the thought
which Maude Adams consigned to the
telegraph wires on Tuesday, when
more than two thousand of her asso-
ciates of the stage were meeting in
the Palace Theatre to hear why
Americas Over There Theatre League
had been formed and later to rise as
one person and volunteer to go over
seas to carry entertainment from home
to, the boys in the camps and trenches.
From Charles McNaughton, the COM
edian, came this message: CAS- they

Wise added: "Being too fat to fight,
shall be happy and proud to go to
France in any capacity you suggest.
sailing, but will gladly go at the earl-
est possible moment and pay my own
expenses"
The theatre again is revealing its
willingness to serve. There never was
any intention on the part of the Over
There League to ask volunteers to pay
their own expenses. The league and
the National War Work Council are
working together on this problem, and
in the last analysis the Y M. C. A.,
where the performances will be given
in France, will bear the brunt of the
necessary expense. The Y. M. C. A.
is the government agent in the matter
because of its powerful and compre-
hensive organization, which has been
placed at the service of the Allies for
the duration of the war in the great
work of providing recreation and keep
ing up the morale of the fighting
forces.

By Harriette Underhill

When you go to interview Katharine
Kaelred she interviews you, or, at least,
that is what happened to US.
Just after Miss Kaelred admitted, in
a wonderful bronze and gold evening
gown, that she was a German spy and
the ally Of "The Man Who Stayed at
Home" we followed her into her dress
ing room to get some inside informa-
tion in regard to spying for living.
Miss Kaelred was seated in front
of her mirror, which was directly op-
posite the door of the dressing room.
"How do you do?" the reflection smiled
at US. "Sit down here" So we sat
down there and told Miss Kaelred to
go ahead demolishing the sky and not
to mind US. And all the while we talked
it was to her reflection in the mirror.
"Why have the styles in newspaper
women changed so within the last few
years?" queried our interviewee. ".They
used to be large, middle-aged women
with tailored suits and sailor hats.
Now they are all young and beautiful"
Isn't Miss Kaelred diplomat? And
we Immediately inquired as to the
identity Of the lady journalists who
had talked with her lately.
"Tell me-" continued Miss Kaelred,
calmly, chow did you come to be q
newspaper woman?" And we we're just
going to ask her how she came to be
an actress. We said so, and she laughed
and said. "Well, go ahead and ask ne
