GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
By Laura A. Kirkmsn.
ANSWERED LETTERS.

NewIv-wed-"My wife and / have
lust moved into little home of our own
and would like to have you help us
about fixing up the walls. They are
dead white, the plaster never having
heen papered or tinted. We don't either
Of us like paper so think we will tint
them cream-doing the work ourselves.
But here is what bothers us: There are
small and large cracks In the plaster
and some holes and we are afraid these
will show through the tinting, even
though we fill up these crevices with
plaster. Do you think paper would be
better than tinting, for this reason?
Answer-You need not fear the cracks
showing through the tinting, for tinting
is Opaque. Patch up the small crevices
with plaster, put on with an artists knife;
but buy about ten cents worth of wood
pulp (ten cents will buy quite an amount
and put this into the larger cracks and
holes. then finish with q thin coat Of
plaster.

And yet, with production running so close as
this, and without the remotest chance or hope OF
any surplusage in the worlds supply of dishes,
there will be great Wanamaker Sale OF China

And had it occurred to you that the extra

Even so. It is under tremendous difficulties
that the beautiful gold-encrusted chinaware which
has given fame to the name Of Limoges Is being
put out-and consequently the output is curtaied:
Another cause contributing to scarcity OF
high-grade French ware Is that to apply gold Tin

Biograph Co. Starts New Year
 With New Studios

January l., 1920 marked the com pleSfon of the new studios of the Swedish Biograph company in Ra- sunda, g. suburb of Stockholm. Thus will these producers start the new. year with every facility to make pie lures of quality for showing all over the world. Victor Seastrom and Mary Johnson are two stars who will shine soon under the Swedish Bio graph banner on American picture screens.
 The new film producing establish ment has an area of between 10000 and S00,000 square feet, with a di- versity of surface-level ground, woodland and hill. It will be rivaled by few, if any in Europe.
 There are two studios-a large one and a smaller building. The large studio is of considerable dimensions, 454x2s4 feet, while the other is 340x 204 feet. Both are 26 feet nigh. They have been constructed of iron and re- inforced concrete in accordance with the newest principles in this method of building and are provided with the most up to date equipment.
 Connecting the two studios is a large, building in which are located the actors dressing rooms. Those for the women are on the first floor and

ROSA PONSELLE,
 OPERA SINGER
 HERE ON FEB. IA

Unknown to the music world this time two years ago, Rosa Ponselle ranks among the most popular and artisticaIly recognized leaders in the contemporary operatic field today. If her fame came virtually overnight. single season has sufficed to estab- fish it irnmovab1y. From a small New England town, the young woman early in life revealed the possession of a lovely voice-a voice that was subsequently, to take captive the most exacting musical center of the world. Our admiration of her gifts, both nat ural and cultivated, has grown amaz- ingly in the process of single year.
 Miss Ponsel1e's voice was discover ed fortuitously almost by her sisters singing tea cher. The two young wo- men had appeared on the vaudeville stage but Rosa was not at the time taking instruction. The singing mas ter, delighted with the amazing beauty of her voice asked her to sub init to his guidance for half a year, at the end of which period he pre- nounced her ready for the Metropo1i tan. Doubtful but enthusiastic Miss Ponselle acquiesced and visitors to the studio quickly carried reports of the wonder vo:1e to manager Gatti
 
 addition was a three year contract Moreover official admiration was at tested by the opportunity given her to make her debut in company with Ca ruso himself. The outcome of the "Forza del Destino" revival insofar as it concerned Miss Ponselle's Leonora is now historic. This success she fol- lowed up handsomely by her work in the much more exacting part of Re zia in "Oberon."
 At the close of the opera season the soprano made a tour as star~so- loist of festivals, singing with es- pecia1 success at the Evanston North Shore Festival, the Ann Arbor Festi- val, the Charlotte Festival and the Norfolk Festival. In concert her tri- umphs have equalled those in opera. During the past season she created | the title role in the Metropolitan Opera Company's notable revival of Halevy's La Juive," sharing with Ca | ruso the honors of the performance. Miss Ponse1le will be heard in Bridgeport on Sunday, Feb. 15, 1920. | Tickets on sale at Steinert's.

Bill Russell Loses and
 Finds His Best Friend

William Russell has more friends than he knows. No more popular star ever thrilled the millions of mo- tion picture lovers than this well known artist, Bill RusselPs best friend is not a man. Nor is it woman. Nor is it an animal. Bill has stuck to his friend for many years. Each day he presses his lips to his friends mouth hundred times. He watches his friend carefully. No matter where the popular star goes, there also goes his friend.
 William RusselFs friend isn't good to look at. Years have not handled that old pal any too kindly, but Rus sell sticks hard and firm. Through thick and thin, for the last ten years. they have been inseparable. If Rus sell goes to the studio, this friend goes with him. Som etines the star even argues with the director to let his companion appear before the camera with him; and more than once he has shared the spotlight with his friend
 At the Fox studio Russell sudden ly lost his friend. Work was stopped, for William Russell had a worried eX- pression-and a worried expression was not called for in .cne scene. At last a member of the studio force shouted exultingly. Under a pile of furniture the lost had been found. ! The man took firm grip on the old friend of Bill with one hand, and with the other held his nostrils. and thus it was he returned to Russell the ] stars best friend-his French briar pipe.

Watch The Waltz Come Into
 Its Own Again Says Truex

"Now that the Merry Widow cock tail has gone it's way, watch for the return to popularity of the Merry Widow waltz says Ernest Truex the film funster in Paramount-Truex comedies. Booze and jazz were good mixers but now that the first has gone it won't be long before the jazz and snimmy dancing craze comes to it's end. The shimmy is all right for professional comedy purposes. I'll admit I shake my shoulders in a new comedy called Stick Around" but for true pleasure the waltz wins with yours truly. Ernie.
 'tNow that the. good old U. S. A. has started to maintain its balance after the turmoil of the Worlds War, let's have more sane forms of recrea- tion. Dancing is the delight of the classes and masses. Unfor tunately the strenuous life entered the dance world and partners engaged in those shaking movements, but now let's bring back a little of the genuine spir- it of those happy days of long ago.
 Let's waltz to those good old standbys that bring forth graceful gliding in time to rythmic tunes. 'Af- ter the Ball Is Over let's feel as full of natural vigor as we were when we started to put this so-called. arti- ffcially inspired, pep into the shimmy dancing, which exhausts many a shaker before the syncopating of Home, Sweet Home'.''
 Editors Note-Comedian Truex does shaky, squirmy, shimmy dance with a mouse as partner in Stick Around" a new Truex comedy, pre- sented by Amedee J. Van Beuren perhaps that's why he has longings toward the ever enjoyable waltz.

EMPIRE.

Nazimova's biggest scene is her dance on the steps of the temple---a weird dance in the moonlight which strikes awe and terror to the hearts of the blacks, and causes them to de- lay their uprising until the British garrison comes to the rescue of the .1vilfSn community of Gaya Her sac rifice is rewarded by the devotion of the hermit doctor, the strong male figure in the tense drama.
 Herbert Biache and Charles Bryant directed the star in the big pro5uc- tion, which is one of the greatest beauty from the scenic and photo- graphic angles. It was produced un- der the personal supervision of Max well karger, Nazimova s director gen. eral.

Charles Burns and Ray Read who handle the comedy of the piece, put across some good stuff which suc- ceeds in keeping the audience con tinually smiling but the chorus, while well dressed, and gowned, can be inn proved upon to a great extent Many of the fair young maidens show marks of being able to boast that they played in the ''legit' long before burlesque was invented to take care of the tired business man. In fact the only members of the chorus wor thy of mention are Nagsie and Edith Martin, who keep up a good pace all through the show and inject plenty of pep into the production.

POLI'S,

Yesterday at Polls when Marty Brooks presented his miniature musical comedy there were nearly several calls for the ambulance; the house tottered with mirth. It's really a remarkably clever act with six un- usually attractive girls and two male principals.
 The Mystic Garden is an offering of a series of up-to-the-minute, baffling illusions. Several heretofore unknown tricks" are presented amidst some decidedly unusual scenery.
 Bartram and Saxton are two above the average singers with a repertoire of songs including the classical as well as our present-day jazz stuff. Wheeler anS Potter have highly creditable act of singing, dancing and talking. Caplan and Wells are two clever jugglers who furnish quite few minutes of real entertainment.
 Owen Moore, in Piccadilly Jim, has found in this, his latest release a role for which he is most certainly re- markedly well adapted. Unusually artistic photography, an all-star cast, interesting settings and, most import ant of all, acting that is unusual and at the aue time true-to-type.
 A screamingly funny comedy, and a Pathe News Weekly complete the bill.
