"TiSchd," The EnchdntreSS

~ JESS what Louis orth, the dark
 7 haired. olive-skfnned oriental
 looking actress, who plays the wonderful role of "Tischa,v the entchan- tress in The wanderer," did in order to successfully portray the character?
 It was something that precious few women would have ever dreamed of do- ingl it was sacrifice that required more than a lack of conceit, more than lack oi vanity, for it was the supreme sacri- flee of having her gloriously beautiful dark hair, which fell in great billewy waves far below her knees, "bobbed"- yes, that's it, bobbed'-just seven inches long, if you please, and every week she has a lady barberess" come to her apartments wherever she happens to be and cut off the excess baggage" as it were, that accumulates.
 Would you have had little enough con ceit, little enough vanity, to have made the sacrifice?
 Most women are buying hair because they have so little these days, and mighty few are having it cut off and throw ing it away, just like that. because hair Is woman's "crowning glory and few like to part with it.
 Unlike Samson, whose strength was in his hair, and Delilah, his wicked wife knowing it, had him shorn of his strength. Mrs. Orths strength does not lie in her hair; her beautiful talent as an actress, her distinct physical as well as mental punlchritude constitute her strength, and the sacrifice of her wonderful hair only yaI ft would seem.
 When Miss Orth was talking to me yes- terday about her interview with MT. David Belasco, when she went to see him in regard to playing the dark-haired, fas- chatting, enchantress, the aIIuring, beguil- ing temptress of the time of the ''prodi- gal son, when she leads Jether, the poor misguided one, into all kinds of waste full financial follies, she said that it fairly tcok her breath away when Mr. Belasco told her she must have her hair cut short.
 She took her hat off and pulled the ha;r pins out of her hair, and down came the g.oriously beautiful dark tresses, falling te the floor, and MT. Belasco realizing what the sacrifice would mean, said to her:
 with t''
 But you don't really mean it?' she questioned in amazement.
 q certainly do,' said the great the- atrical producer manager, whose art is So evident in the superb and spectacular play The Wanderer," and everything else he has ever had hand in, and then MT. Belasco explained what a great ''stickler' he is for detail, for perfec- ticn.
 "Then he told me, said Miss Orth, that q peculiar situation obtained in those days which made all the devotees of the Goddess Isthar sacrifice their hair, wear ing only short locks, not only because it was fashionable, but because it vas more sanitary, as there were no Turkish baths or hair-dressers during that pe- riod''
 But couldn't you have worn wig?, asked curiously
 Not for MT Belasco." said Miss orth

Confirmation of DIR. John Van
Shaick as a District commissioner
was strongly urged in resolution
adopted by the Central Citizens AS
sociation ast evening. The resolu-
tion endorsed the action of its dele
gates to the Federation of Citizens
Associations in supporting a resolu-
tion recommending confirmation OF
DIR. Van Shaick ad called upon the
District Committee of the Senate to
take favorable action upon the ap-
pointment. H.
In presenting the resolution. d. }.
Donovan characterized the opposi-
.tion to DR.. Van Shaick's appoint
ment as Ubiquitous and ludricous.' -
The assertion WAS made that the
only reason for the opposition was
the fact that DR.. Van shaick had
been a fearless and efficient member
of the school board. Mr.. Donovan
said that Acknowledgement of citi-
zens of the District had long beer,
one of his "isms," but that his en-
thusiasm had been weakened BY the
opposition to DR.. Van Shaick. fThe
claim that DR.. Van Shaicks' proies-
sion untitled him for the post was
ridicuied by Mr.. Donovan and NJ. j.
McMackin. the other delegate to the
federation. NJ ono spoke against
