LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE sudden death
Of Mrs. s. B. Joe' wife Of an African
millionaire. depriv london of most
eccentric personality. Born at Man
chester OF Jewish parents. she was ia
nous for her hospitality. She enter
tanned on the most lavish scale, often in
viting a number OF guests to her house
at Eastbourne or IN Upper Brook street
without appearing herself. but leaving
them every means OF securing excellent
entert ainment.
On peace night she invited a large
party to a dinner and dance in well
known London restaurant. The guests
arrived in cars and taxicabs. but the
hostess could not be found. After wait
ing for some time the guests decided TO
entertain themselves They finished
dinner and commenced to dance. but still

the party and had been celebrating peace
elsewhere with other friends. She had
the utmost contempt for conventions.
with the result that she shocked the sus-
capabilities OF many of the more formal
persons IN society.
Her dinners were remarkable for their
novelty. She was very fond Of FISH and.
forgetting that her taste was not every
body's, she often would have placed in
succession before her guests half q
dozen courses of different Ash prepared
in different ways with the result that
her diners had no appetite for other
courses. At a dinner given just before
her death four courses of fish. including
lobster. were followed by duck. A COM
plete duckling was placed before each
guest.
She sometimes would invite lawyers
and business men to her house to dis
cuss business. then decline to hear a
word of heavy stuff and insist on their
staying to luncheon or dinner and dance.
She had a passion for dancing. Mrs.
joel leaves am estate worth well over

While the managers and the legiti-
mate actors are drawing long faces the
cinema actors at the Rialto and the
Strand this week are likely to draw
large houses through presenting the
mirthful or strixeless side of life. Not
even combination OF producers or a
union of players could keep one from
being amused BY Charles Ray in "Bill

This scenario TRANSMISSION by Julien
Josephson Of story by Lois zelmer,
causes Ray once more to appear amid
bucohc surroundings as an innocent
seeming youth who always manages In
some way to triumph over sophisticated
lnavery in the end. Having made
failure of canvassing for an electric vi
brator-which gives scope for some d.
verting scenes--he becomes clerk in
country hotel, and Is thereby enabled
to sit In a poker game and win enough
to buy the heroine's farm and rescue
her from villamy. after performing an
operation on the villains jaw with his
fist.
There is a Mack sennstt comedy with
