that he was a " elshman.
And his name IS really Daavyd, or
p.i for short. We Ike Dai and hope

enough to call him that, though it
seems doubtful He isn't easy to get
acquainted with. although he tells you
al about himself when you ask, but
Ia has an entirely impersonal manner,

For instance, we know that he was

that the large ring which he wears has
been in the family for hundreds Of
years and is made from part Of the
anklet once worn by whoever 1t was
who used to wear anklets.
The stone is an inch in diameter
and is sort of a cross between q
moss agate and black opal. It is set
in platinum and weighs about a qusr-
ter Of pound, SO we do not wonder
that Mr.. Powell says he lives in con-
slant terror CT losing 1t or breaking
the stone. "Why not have it set again
as an snklet?" we suggested; but Mr..
Powell gazed at US in silence, so we did
not pursue the subject

Madge Kennedy in the
Clothes of a Perfect Day

When Madge Kennedy told rs the
other day that the actresses have to
come to New York TO get their clothes
she wasn't telling Us anything that we
didn't already know.
Not that we ever have been to Cali
sornia, but we have seen pictures that
have been dressed" in California, and
the results were not SO good. Califor-
MIA is wonderful state and 1t raises
wonderful palms, but it has got to
yield the palm to New York when it
comes to producing clothes But, then,
California won't mind that She owns
the exclusive rights to all the climate.
We agreed perfectly on this, al
.hough Miss Kennedy does not agree
with Us on most subjects. or rather we
10 not agree with her, for she is too
sweet to disagree with any one. She
just says: mo doubt, you're right. I'm
just funny, you know"
For instance, she likes quiet hotels
and restaurants where you won't see
any one and no one will see you, and
raising ducks and getting up at 8 in
the morning. But, on the subject of
clothes as produced IN New York and
California there can be no two opin-
ions.
Miss Kennedy Is at the Belmont this
time. We consider Il vast improve
nent over the hosiery which she chose
on her previous visit. Then there
never were more than two guests in the
dining room at the same time, and you
felt like walking on tip-toe all the
time. Miss Kennedy is really supposed
to be staying at Briarcliffe with her
husband, Captain Harold Bolster, bu.
she has to spend most of her vacation
in town at the modistes and the
dentists.
II like one about as we'll as the
other" added Miss Kennedy, and we
thought how any one else would have
said, land, gosh! how I dread it,"
IF it weren't for the fact that l get
up early I should not have time for
anything else. What time? Oh, never
later than any morning
"Well," we said cheerfully, "you are
right where you can make use of that
most unusual virtue, love Of early ris-
ing. You know the real reason that
we are not a star is because we never
should be able to get more than an
hours sleep between 5 and g. Every
good party we ever went to with
movie star is spoiled because he or she
has to go home at ~ o'clock"
Twelve o'clock" exclaimed Miss
Kennedy. ooh, that is terribly late.
But, then, of course, I'm funny.
But this matter of clothes is vex-
ing one. You just can't get them out
there, and it seems strange. too. Why,
the movie actresses alone could sup
port number of modistes. I've tried
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-07-20

to solve the problem by getting my
clothes in large punches when came
here on my vacations, but that isn't
satisfactory. 1t is almost necessary
to buy for each picture, for you can't
wear the same things in two pictures,
and you cant know what you are go
ing to need for six months ahead, and
you can't come to New York between
pictures.
"Of course, know the real SOLO,
ton would be for us to make our
pictures here, but remember the Cali
fornia climate and the palms snd every
thingl
Some people do not find It SO diff
fcult- They are the sort who can put
on anything and look we'll in 1t, but
I'm not good-looking enough for that"
Miss kennedy's humility is real. We
have heard her say before that she .
not goodlooking, and she IS little
beauty. But We did not enlighten her.
Her modesty is so rare and so becon,-
ing. We always feel when with Miss
Kennedy that sshe does not belong
here"
And we left Miss Kennedy and went
down to Park Row, and as soon IS we
got in the office some one telephoned
US and said: Did you know that tho
Goldwyns are going to have costume
department out in California, and tina.
Miss Wachner, the designer of stags
costumes, is going out to take charge %
So Miss Kennedy's prayer is an
swered, and we shall watch the Cold
wyn screen for results. H.U.
