The next day one of the Kaieers at
tendants came to Mile. Dazie's hotel
and informed her that she was ex-
pected to attend dinner at the palace.
When she expressed surprise at the
invitation he added that of course she
would be expected to dance. The din

monious and was attended by diplo-
mats and army officers and their
wives Mile. Dazzle was seated be-

English very well. and during the

again danced at the palace, and this

one Of the few native Americans to
have achieved the distinction Of not
only having danced before their Royal
Highnesses but OF having been enter

received an offer to appear again at
the Winter Garten in Berlin. a fact
which has reminded her Of her two
previous visits to Germany.
Nile Dazie's first visit to Germany
was in 1912-two years before the
great war. Most Of her time was spent
in dancing in Berlin, and news Of her
skill and popularity reached even the
ears Of the monarch. In her dressing

THE NEW CINEMAS

his second cinema at the Cohan
Theatre tomorrow night. In adj
dition to the pictures. which are
an expansion of the Babylon in
cident in Intolerance" Mr.. Grit
fifth has called in the aid of living
actors, dancers, singers and PAN
tomimists. Constance Talmadge
will be seen prominently in the
pictures. Louis Gottschalk's in
cidentsl music will be played by
an augmented orchestra.
Vivian Martin in Louisiana"
which is taken from one of the
charming early novels of Frances
Hodgson Burnett, will be the
star at the Rialto this week. The
action passes at an old fashioned
summer resort in the South and
the title is the heroine's name.
There will be the usual high class
musical programme with topical
and comedy films.
Clara Kimball Young, she of
the midnight eyes and the exqui-
site oval face, will be the lead
ing figure of the programme at
the Rivoli this week, acting in a
play made from a novel by Le-
nora Coffee. II is called The
Better Wife," which is encourag-
ing, since the wives recently on
the screen have not been all that
they might be. 1t is announced
that Miss Young has her own
company whatever that may
mean. There will be the usual
music for which the Rivoli is
noted.
Jesse Lynch Williams and
Madge Kennedy have collabor-
ated on the bill at the Strand
this week. 1t is called Through
the Wrong Door" and is natur-
ally of comic character. A va
riety of other pictures will en-
rich the programme and there
will be elaborate music.

Advised by a friend to go on the
stage and make a name for herself as
a character actress, she applied to the
management of THE Old Homestead

the rural drama for three seasons and
was then engaged for the role Of Mrs.
Quimby in the Conan & Harris produc-
ton OF Seven Keys to Baldpate" at
the Astor and Gaiety theatres.
Her next engagement was with Mar
garet Anglin in an important role In
THE Vein of Cold" a play which was
presented in Eastern, cities but which
did not reach New York. She then en-
tered vaudeville, appearing for year
in negro nanny" parts in several
sketches. She seems to have a special
gift for characterization Of this
species. At any rate her success In

years ago would not be at all popular
to-day. Nor would the semi-martial
music Of the songs popular during the
United States participation in the
world war make hit now.
What the public wants to-day are
| lively, jazzy songs-not too 1azzy-
with love interest but without the
sickly sentimentality in vogue a gener-
alton ago
THE musical comedy audience is a
particularly discriminating class. and
will not accept some of the ragtime
pieces popular elsewhere. 1t demands
songs that are not only jazzy, but
which are also musical.
The musical comedy without this
class Of songs Is like a canoe without
paddles. No one knows where 1t will
eventually drift to--but it is certain
that 1t will experience some catas-
trophe in very short order"
