The plot concerns Marty Warren, a
young man from Philadelphia, who
has quarreled with his fancee, and
leaves to seek solace in the diverting
gayety of Broadway's white light
Subsequent events materially AFFECT

Slmplicity.-Miss Elsie Ferguson,
tho advance agent announces. wishes
to tell the world that she is not con-
tent to be known merely as the beau
tful lady of the stage.
Here are some of the comments
which she has made:
The stage and the profession OF
acting are being shorn of some OF the
artifciality that has belonged TO
them. Take makeup. for instance.
aand dress. While we have not thrown
greasepaint and rouge altogether INTO
the discard. they are used mucn less less

pencil to the eyebrows. dash OF RED
TO the Hps-that is all that is ordi-
rtsri1y required for a conventional
role.
Similarly the dress. 1t is not nee
essary that stage gowns for conVen-
tional parts should scream at the
audience with fantastic colors and
cuts. ! choose the gowns for my
parts with due reverence to the stage
picture. and there again my doctrine
of simplicity obtrudes itself.
But nevertheless the aCcomplis sh-
ment of simplicity is not simple at
all. 1t seems obvious that the short
est distance between two points is a
straight line, but the pupil in mathe-
matics is not given that axiom until
he has mastered the complexities of
arithmetic and algebra.
Expression, subtlety. odd psyche
. logical processes. etc. are necessarily
involved. To my mind. these things
are in the arithnstic of stage eduCa =
ton.
Savage art is replete with curves.
garish colors. super6r-us ornament.
1t took Greece at T. e height of its
artistic inspira tion to evolve the SIM
pie overwhelming beauty of the Par
thenon."
Theda Bsra speaks.-Miss Theda
Bara has the following to say to the
public:
Il have been so long identified with
the screen, that / am sure everybody
will want to know whether The Blue
Flame is a motion picture. 1t is not
a motion picture, but an excellent
drama of the legitimate stage.
