Vera Gordon Played Part
OF a Mother When Only
IL i'm New Capitol Film

Vera Gordon is one of those ac-
tresses who, cast for seemingly minor
parts, has a way Of running away with
the show" At least this has been the
case; but, as it has become almost
habit with her, the edge of the surprise
is beginning to wear off. So it is i'm
probable that any one who sees Rex
Beachs "The North Winds Malice"
which is at the Capitol this week; will
be surprised if Miss Gordon gives an
outstanding performance. In fact, it is
expected of her.
Miss Gordon has been an actress to
reckon with since Arthur Hopkins pro-
duced Rita Wellman's "The Gentle
Wife," two years ago. The play, al
though a success d'estime, did not have
long run, but every one who saw it
acclaimed Miss Gordon's performance
of the Jewish mother as one of the
best character performances ever seen
on the American stage. The story of
her success in Fanny Hurst's picture,
"Humoresque," is SO recent that every
one knows it. And now she is to be
seen in another picture This time the
locale rs in Alaska, and Miss Gordon
is big-hearted, motherly Jewish wom-
an who, with her husband, runs a
general store.
1t is little wonder that Miss Gordon

can play Jewish mothers and play them
so well. 1t is not only that. she her
self is Jewish, and has been, as she
says, most of her life a mother Cher
first child was born when she was
seventeen), but she has been cast for
mothers so many times. At the age Of
twelve she madem. her d6but-as a
mother! That wasssn her native town,
Ekaterinoslav, in Wdssia AS she was
Jewish she was prohibited from ap-
pearing in the larger Russian cities,
and she felt it impossible to develop
her talent in the theaters where she
could appear, so she determined to
come to America. She was just
eighteen when she, her husband and
her young son landed in New York.
They had no friends here. They were
almost penniless, and they did not
know the language. 1t was not an easy
road to success WHICH she found, but
she was never daunted.
For time, while learning English,
Miss Gordon played in her native
tongue and had her own Russian COM
pany on the East Side Her work at
tracted the attention of Florence Nash,
who saw to it that she had part with
her in "The Land of the Free" She
next appeared with Fannie Brice in
"Why Marry?" and when A. H. Woods
sent "Business Before Pleasure to
London Miss Gordon was in the cast.
Then her great hit came in "The Gen
tile Wife"
