1t is an open secret in diplomatic
circles that Mr.. Hohenzollern, when
German Kaiser. had a mania for
looking at cartoons Of himself.
especially those printed in the
American papers.
The. rat-faced Crown Prince also
liked to collect funny pictures of
himself. He didn't mind the
knocks" he thought they were
funny. This is one Of the ines
timable advantages, no doubt. of
having a hide like a bull elephant.
The Kaiser. on the other hand.

There was one officer on the gen.

was to collect and show to the
Kaiser all the cartoons Of himself:

AN EXACTING CHAUTARD ROLE

The role of Mathilde Stangerson.
which Miss Ethel Gray Terry so ably
portrays in Emile Chautard's "Mys-
tery of the Yellow Room" the re-
markable detective story now being
shown at Moore's Rialto 1ftater,
calls for a pantomimic whose face
reveals not only the beauty of the
original heroine described by Gas
ton Leroux in his great novel from
which the play was taken. but also
that uncommon combination of in
tellect and magnetism which made
Ma1hilde one of the greatest sci
entists in France.
And in choosing Miss Terry for
this role, NJ. Chautard again proves
his keen ability as q caster Of plays.
AS her acting in THE Mystery of
the Yellow Room" shows, she de-
picts not only Mathilde. the beauty.
but Mathilde the student as well.
The deep interest which she is sup
posed to manifest in her scientific
research is not obviously posed. To
the person in the audience she seems
sincerely engrossed in her work, a
fact made possible not only by the
traits Of character shown by her
facial expression. but by her educa-
tion and acting experience.

Academy. her mother, Lillian Law .
