Nutriia

Is a little South American
animal, sometimes called the
coypu, that resembles the
beaver. In fact, he claims
a relation to the American
beaver, and because of the
extreme scarcity of the lat
ter nutria is greatly in de-
mand. There is so little diff
ference between the two
that when made into a coat
it takes an expert to tell
them apart.

EVELYN NESBIT
 CHOOSES THE PERIOD
 FURNITURE FOR PLAY

Most of the period furniture m the sets for My Little Sister" which William Fox is producing from Eliza beth Robins famoush novel of the same name, was selected by the star, Evelyn Nesbit.
 Some time ago Miss Nesbit, observ- ing the trouble which directors ex- perienced in getting the proper kind of furniture for certain sets, decided to take up the study of period furni- ture so that she could be of assist ance in the production of her pie lures. She went to one of the fore most interior decorators in the city, read all the books on the subject that were available, and studied per iod furniture in the biggest furniture shops of Fifth avenue.
 One of the sets in My Little Sis ter" is a room done in the furniture of the English baronial period. Miss Nesbit selected all of this furniture. suggested the type of draperies, rugs and lights that would conform best with the furniture, and gave other advice that would make the whole set artistically harm monious.

ANOTHER DOG GONE WRONG

Theda Bara has more trouble with her pet dogs than Wall street brok- CT would have in a Bolshevist meet ing. Miss Bara recently bought her seventh dog. Six animals of various degrees of canine nobility had either been run over, acquired distemper, been shot, chewed up by other dogs, or had reached other ends quite as untimely and painful. Miss Bara had had her seventh dog seven months, and was sure the combination was an omen of good fortune. But she reck- oned not with fate. The other day the Fox stars maid took the dog out for a walk. The animal broke away and plunged into some hot asphalt being laid by workmen. The animal was unable to free itself, and before a res cuing party could reach it had been so badly burned 1t had to be shot.

RUDOLPH GANZ An Unique Experience

Rudolph Gang, the eminent Swiss pianist, who will be heard in recital at the State street Casino. Friday ev- | ehlng' April 11th had most unusual experience a few years ago, in one or the big Convent schools of the middle West.
 When he arrived in the city he was told that one of the Sisters had died thaS morning, and was asked 10 postpone his recital. This he coi1Id not do' being booked solidIy for some l months, so it was finally decided up on mat the recital should take place. provided the audience refrained from appIaudlng. There were several hun dred students and Sisters in the As sembly Hall of the house where the Sister had died.
 The first number of the program The Beethoven Sonata Appassion- ata-produced such a tense contact between player and listeners. that as Gang says, he could feel the ap- probation and intense responsiveness or his auditors grow and deepen as the evening proceeded. At the con- clusion of the program he had to add three more numbers, and the Ire mendous fluidum coming from the audience over the footlights, impress ed him so immensely, that for weeks. he says. in other cities applause souhded to him shallow and meaning less.
 Gang has given this experience much thought, and is of the opinion that the real appeal of real artist to a real audience, will always be reflected more intensely by breathless silence than by noisy handclapping- Adv.

PLAZA. (Review w.)

Jealousy almost ruins a beautiful love story in When Men Desire, D with Theda. Bara now playing at the Plaza theatre. She finds her road to matrimony and happiness beset with obstacles because of the jealousy of one of her unsuccessful lovers. He sees that Miss Bara, as Marie Ilohr, Is kept apaH from her lover at all costs. Being an influential man in Germany, the rival subjects her to many periIs, hoping that she will at last turn to him for aid and comfort. But Marie Lohr's heart remains true to her American lovor, who rescues her out of his rivals clutches. The feature is very interesting and well acted by a capable cast
 The Juvenile Follies' a, big review with P little girl entertainers, was a pig hit at last nights performance. There is many a star that could do no better than some Of these talented little kiddies. The most remarkable part Of the Juvenile Follfes is their originality and the specialttes ar ranged arfd performed by the clever. tots show great deal of versatility In offering their individual entertain ment. There are 20 song numbers in It and all are well rendered. The act runs an hour and a, half.

POLI'S (Review.)

When 1t comes to description, there are lots of adjectives that the press agent forgot in telling of Winston s Sea Lions and Water Nynlphs that are featured in the program at Po- lis. Sensational, artistic, amusing, beautiful and a few more could be applied without straining at the truth. The attraction is a. delightful novelty and is presented in one of the biggest tanks ever set up on stage. The "nymphs'' are a pair of girls who are "easy on the eyes" and they perform all sorts of difficult swimming and diving feats. The water lions mimic them in all their stunts in a. way that is almost uncanny. The whole thing is artistically produced and is far ahead of anything else of it's kind ever seen here.
 The photoplay program is unusually good. There's "Bill'' Hart in a new drama called ''The Poppy Girls Illus band" in which the famous western star develops an entirely new role that of a convict. He does very well in Q very interesting play. Then there's a big comedy scream called The Snithy." one of Mack Sennett's 8 Uproarious efforts. The Pathe News among other things. offers some in te-estinR views of Germany including scenes during the Spartacan cut breaks in Berlin.

LYRIC, (ReVfew.)

Very appropriate at this time is the presentation of The Marriage Cues tion," by the PoH Players this week. Appropriate because just at this time IS eve of May and June, when there are more brides that don the orange blossoms than in the other ten months Of the year. There is a sort of TO- mantle tinge to a May or June we'd ding in the mind of a girl perhaps because springtime and early sum- mer are rated the ideal times for the ceremony.
 Very interesting Is the theme of the play. Without a doubt, 1t is one of the most unique yet presented by the Poll players. It has the thrill, the joy, the sorrow and pleasure, the comedy and seriousness which will please all theatregoers. And with the splendid cast under Willard Dashielrs direction, the story of d soul Is faithfully depicted.
 In Billie" the wife, played by Miss Clements, there Is a touch of great humanely interest and the lead ing lady of the Pon players is at her best. In the first act she gets mar ried; in the second she Is a butterfly of society and in the third she solves the marriage question. Clay Gle ment is the fnancier husband and, as usual, makes the story more interest ing because of his fascinating person. ality. With the rest of the players in adaptable parts, the play will sure draw large crowds to the Lyric this week
