Civilize EN- With Vamp,
Advises "Titivator," of
Little Old New York;

- Ariana De Puyster in Little Old
New York is only gentle little vam-
pire, striving, with the twirl OF far
and the dropping Of perfumed hand

self. Yet she rises, in re person o.
Pauline Whitson who plays the role AT
the Plymouth Theater, one cannot 50
manIully bat with considerable spirit
IN defense Of the vampire IN general
To hear her declarations one would
think that all mothers should hasten to
train their daughters from infancy TO
became vampires. And it would be
more question of developing than
training. according TO Miss Whitson.
For every woman. she says, has the
instinct Of the vamp very deep within
her, but some women do not like 70
acknowledge t.
Here is what Pauline Whitson says:
The vampire is more or less g civil

world; not the kind Of vamp for whom

greatest sex allure who holds men be-

Theater Pancho is one of the great

Binn's career was when be took over
the Princess Theater and organized
tho Princess Players to DO a brilliant
program OF one-act plays. His achieve
ments with this organization viii be
remembered as one Of the distinctive
enterprises in the history Of the New
York theater. For two seasons mis-
company gave varying bills OF short
plays, which they drew from all cor
Aers Of the word. Early IN the first
season they gave three horror plays
from the Grand Guignol, and the az
-ention these attracted was so great
that an impression gained ground that
Mr. Elinn vas using the Grand
reality he rev plays from London
and any number Of sources. Some of
the best he got here in America. The
cost OF maintaining this organ alton

proportion to the receipts which could
be taken IN in that small theater that
l. was impossible for the Princess PLAY
ers to flourish beyond the second sea
In the course Of tie war Mr. Blinn

How has Marshall Neilan succeeded

That is Mr.. Neians secret, but ar
observer at the Neilan studio recently
received some enlightenment after
watching the director and members of
his company q work on "Dinty," in
which Wesley Barry has the first star
ring role OF his career, and which vii,
be shown at the Strand Theater be-
ginning to day.
The visitors report follows:
Neilan seemed distracted while his
men were getting ready to take

all was ready. and Wesley. who had
been playing with his companions o

great arched cloister that surrouuds

ot sunlight.
Stop at the column Neilan called.
The director watched every move Of the
boy, who kept up his walk without
perceptible indication that he had
heard the new command. He neared
one OF the grea5 columns Neilan
walked quietly toward the point, keep
ing out Of the cameras focus.

SAID. in quick, positive command, lean

Wesley had reached the cool shadow
made by the mighty column. He paused
a moment, leaned wearily against the
column, q look Of unutterable woe COW

"Now begin TO cry. Put your hands

Instructions as they were given.
Neilan watched the rise and fall OF the
boys shoulders for a few seconds, but
he seemed dissatisfied.

Wesley's face began to twitch. his
mouth dropped at the corners, his eyes
closed as his lips quivered. Tears
came to his eyes. One dropped to his
cheek and bounded of Sobs began to
shake his small body, and he burst out
into violent weeping. Another signal
and that scene was ended.
Neian turned to Pat . Mal'ey. There
were tears in his eyes, too, and most of
the men the circle were coughing
and drawing their handkerchiefs. "A
