~The Copperhead," Aided
By Two-Piece Orchestra,
Holds Sway at Saranac

one blouse and one jade green hat. It
was our first shopping expedition since
the goth Of last January and it's a
grand and glorious feeling. The Pom
tiac doesn't look a bit like the Rivoli.
1t looks more like the Criterion, which,
we learn, is now a movie house; and
how arefw going to make the rounds
when we get back, with all these egiti-
mate theaters going over to the silent
broad and rather shallow and the screen
is tilted back in a way we never saw
before.
We have heard from out-of- town
movie managers that Broadway stars
Of the stage are not nearly SO great
an attraction as the lesser lights Of
the screen, but we did think the name
Of Barrymore would draw anywhere;
so we were rather surprised to see the
theater not half filled. The best part Of
the show was, we think, remark
which we overheard on our way out
One man exclaimed, enthusiastically
Gee, that fellow was great! He ought
to be on the stage" And the woman
with him replied through her tears:
eyes; wasn't it wonderful! I never
want to see another picture. for L
couldn't like it 30 we'll as this" We
heartily agree with the first speaker
Lionel Barrymore ought to be on the
stage-but we cannot entirely agree
with the second speaker. "The Cop
perhead" is not by any means the best
picture we ever saw.
We have read no reviews of 1t ana
do not even know if it has been shown
at any of the big Broadway houses;
but. whatever one may think. of the
picture, there can be no two opinions
about the work Of the star, and we
contrasted the subtletes of this per-
which We saw two or three seasons
ago and marveled. Time was, not so
long ago, when we wondered why all
OF the barrymore charm faded into
nothlngness when presented to the
public via the screen
William Carleton jr. gives a splen-
did performance as Colonel Hardy and
he stimulates age better than we have
seen it done in a long time. He is
seen first at twenty-one years of age,
then at thirty-five and last at sew
enty-five. 1t was a regular tonic to
see our favorites once again-Doris
Rankin as the wife, Arthur Rankin as
the boy, Joey, and Anne Cornwall as
the granddaughter.
There were no programs, but there
was an orchestra consisting of vio-
lin and a piano. The man who goes to
the movies with us informed US that
this was an innovation. that usually
they did not have a regular score, that
the piano player followed his own
sweet will, only taking care not to
play "The End Of Perfect Day" when
any one was cashing in his checks, or
'There'll Be Hot Time" drrinr a
fire scene. The score included Dixie"
Loves Old Sweet Song" "ln ,nn
Cleaning" Gust Song at Twilight"
and Of course, "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" And it was very effective
even if the violinist was at times still
toying with the silver threads while
the pianist had got as far as the gold.
And we got home in time for supper,
so the chief said we could go next
week to see Mary Pickford in polly

For the moment she was not the
actress that American audiences know
Her last soprano notes hoated over the
footlights and, AS An echoA seemingly,
came the sound Of applause from the
Palace audience. She smiled and
Then she retired to her dressing room
and when she spoke the subject Of the
stage was kept we'll in the background.
1t was not q surprise to learn that
numbered among the vieunese for
bears Of FRITZ Scheff were many stu
dents, philosophers and physicians.
She discoursed on fame. money, art
and hypocrisy. With q word, or a
shrug.. or swift gesture she reduced
to nothing the foibles Of stage people
and other people. But she did not pose
every sentence contained q priceless
thought.
Artifciality finds no place in FRITZ
Scheff's makeup. She Is frank to ad
NIT that she is not enamored Of the
stage and yet does not pretend to have
any plans for improving it and making
it less artificial,
81 don't like this" she said, pointing
to the makeup on her lips and cheeks,
"and yet it is impossible to 60 behind
the footlights without it. l have
watched the prettiest women during re-
hearsals when they used no makeup
and they looked ghastly. The only
chance for naturalness on the stage
rests entirely with the actor or
actress"
Fame is nothing; money is every
thing. So thinks the musical comedy
prima donna. And because money is
so important FRITZ Scheff il on the
stage, as business and nothing more.
That is the way she chooses to earn
her living.
When Nat Goodwin died and his
body was sent to Boston l was there.
Only small group of relatives and
friends at the railroad to meet the
train. There was no pomp, no cere-
mony. And I thought to myself, Thus
Is great actor remembered Fame
doesn't get you any place, but money
does; But | don't mean that it isn't
worth while to give the best that is in
you when you are on the stage. Actors
who have reached the top have worked
hard, and you can be sure that when
thelr names are put out in big electric
lights in front of the theater thew de-
serve 1t. It's a peculiar human trait.

any signs of slipping. They seem to be
ieduy Always with their little hammers
and a vaudeville headliner must come
back stronger and stronger each time
to hold the place in the lead. But I'm
stlLi very much alive, as you can see"
FRITZ Schef believes in specializa-
ton; at least, for professional purposes
Once the public knows that a man or
woman is capable of doing a certain
thlng well, 1t is almost useless for this
person to attempt anything else. Miss
Schef finds art in everything and is
a sincere admirer of it, Skill on the
hylng trapeze, high in the air. ex-
pertness on bicycle, anything in q
hlghly developed specialized form is art

! Greetings from Saranac Lake." as it
says on the souvenir postcard; also
"having a glorious time. Wish you
were with us!"
True to our allegiance, the first
place we went when we were allowed
outside the gates Of Trudeau was to
the movies. 1t seems as though, when
you begin to mend up here in the
mountains, you graduate quickly. At
least, that was our experience. AS soon
as you convince 1.-The chief" that you
have learned to keep your temperature
between 98 and 80 and your pulse so it
doesn't tick much faster than your
lngersoll, he tells you that you may
get up In the morning in "cure
chair" Then If you continue to be
discreet he allows you the same priv
ilege in the afternoon. Pretty soon he
says Give minutes exercise" and then
every morning at II o'clock you climb
down from your chair and walk up and
down in front of all the people who
are not accorded this glorious priv
and then you walk down into the heart
Of the metropolis as far as the post
office, buy some stamps and some salted
peanuts and walk back again.
The next step is usually q step into
motor car and an hours ride, and
the final step when you are allowed to
step out of the car and 60 to the Pom
tiac, same being the name of Sara
macs capital theater.
One of our last fond memories Of
New York was being over at the
a plo1, CT,
make "The Copperhead." So, when we
heard that it was to be shown at the
Pontiac on Wednesday we determined
on a bold move. Having leaped from
the bottom of the class, in manner OF
| speaking, to the head, and having
skipped such intermediate stages as
five minutes exercise, etc, we were
bold, and when the chief came on his
morning rounds and said, "What can
do for you?" instead of saying CAS-
pirin" or potash" we answered boldly,
"Movies"
"All right" he answered.; "they say
it is a good show. Be back for supper"
Now this is much moro than we ex-
pected, though not so much as it
sounds, because supper is at $3.50. But
we ordered a taxi-no, not the taxi
for $3.50 and waited. Well, at $3.50 a
gorgeous, seven passenger touring car
rolled up to the door, containing, be-
sides our own escort and the chauffeur,
four strange men. 1t wasn't until af-
ter we had stopped twice to pick up
more passengers that we learned that
a taxi here isn't at all like taxi in
New York. It's more like jtney bus
only it costs you ten iitneys to ride in
it, and it's worth it. If you see a taxi
coming along, and it isn't full, all you
have to do is signal to the driver and
into bad habits, however, for fancy doing
that on Seventh Avenue!
Most everybody gets out in front of
Leonard's, the emporium So we did
likewise and started to walk the half
block to the Pontiac. On the way we
purchased one bottle of L'Organ, one
cake Of chocolate. one box of writing
paper, one box of cocoanut kisses,

A common and dangerous falling.
not only Of actors, but others in va

themselves as indispensable. A great
comedian will feel that there will
never be another one like him. that It
will not be possible to replace him. So

or any one else feel. Fritsi Scheft
calls it "big head"
ITS very dangerous" she said

Except for a long road tour in
"Glorianna," Miss Scheff has appeared
only in vaudeville for the last 1eur
years. Before she goes back to the
legitimate stage she desires q good
starring vehicle in which she will
have chance to sing and also to act
She is having difficulty in finding just
the thing she wants. And then. she
has missed connections occasionally. A
manager would obtain the rights to a
good play, think of FRITZ Scheff for
the leading role and seek her, only to
find her in the midst of another en-
gagement which would prevent her
from accepting a contract. But until
the play comes she is content to sing
in vaudeville and to count the newly
hatched chicks on her farm in Con-
necticut

to these governments or to the actual individuals.
 Work Rapidly Expanded
 The system was rapidly expanded in the winter of 1919 until a total of some four million children were being sup piled with necessary margins of food on charity. Schools, orphan asylums, children's hospitals, were extended and public kitchens where children living at home are fed daily were erected and all of them given such supllies as were locally deficient. All children admitted to the kitchen were required to pass examination by local physician or a trained nurse co prove under-nourish- ment before admission. in order that the system should not be imposed upon. A small fee of about one cent per meal is charged to assist in local expense but no hungry child has been refused admission.
 Famine and shortage of food produc- tion bears especially uton the children because any shortage first affects the milk and fat supplies, due to the diver SlOn Ol gram liOIl lIlo DEulS AO NAs human consumption-, It has been found by experience that the cost of the nee essary imports of milk, beans, fats clothing. medical supplies, etc, aver age about dollar per month per child In addition the cost to the local organt- zation of supporting a child varies from two to three dollars month. the diff ference, including commodities avail able in the countries concerned, being found as stated above, from local char ity, voluntary service, municipal ant government help.
