BY KATHERINE MACDONALD.


How do you like being dubbed the
most beautiful woman on the screenT'
That question has been asked of mo
so often that have really grown
weary of answering IT. Ny answer
is always substantially the same:
There's not as much pleasure in It
as you would imagine"
Oh. i know what you're going to
say. You imagine that it would be
most thrilling sensation to be SO
nicknamed. So did I, at first But
afterward the novelty wears off-and-
after all. why should a person accept
congratulations for being nice to look
upon? 1t did not come about by her
own brain power. 1t was simply
wished upon her. For my part
would far rather be known for my
mental accomplishment than for any
physical charms that l might be heir
to.
Therefore, I welcome an oppor-
tunity to say some thing ON q subject
that most motion picture actresses
are not supposed to be interested in.
That subject is woman suffrage. If
there is any one thing that / have q
deep interest in aside from my work
before the camera, 1t is the votes
for-women movement, of which I am
strong supporter. l have followed
every phase of this movement and the
awakening interest of women gener-
ally in it is happy sign to me.
When women do get the ballot
which they surely will sooner or later
i confidently believe that a great
step will have been taken in the so
luton OF our Governmental problems,
there will be more justice in legisla-
ton, in the administration of our
laws and in the assessment of taxes,
and there will be less likelihood of
future wars. Not that l consider
woman superior to man. but / do
believe that the moral effect of her
participation in public affairs win in
a degree have a purging influence on
corrupt politics.
The greatest present obstacle to
woman suffrage is the passive attt
tude OF some women who are either
too apathetic, too vain, or too self
centered to interest themselves in
something that is really of vital inn
portance to their own well being.
This obstacle consisting of vanity and
ignorance is fast being overcome,
however, by educational methods and
missionary work, and I for one am
convinced it is only a question OF
time before all women will be grant,
ed the right to which they are en-
titled-that is, having an active part
in the affairs of their Government.

DEAR Fl. c. L.:
While all these nice things are
being said Of the music at the diff

Two. giant bronze urns have been
installed at opposite sides Of the

Theater. Great bouquets of fresh cut
flowers surmount the decorative tops
of the vases and an added touch Of
beauty is provided by tiny spotlights

with John J. Payette. assistant gen.

Announcement is made from tho
executive offices of the Harry M.
Crandall enterprises that the Savoy
Garden and the Apollo Garden. each
conducted in conjunction with its re-
spectiye theater, will be thrown open
to the public for the summer season
OF 1920 on Saturday night. May 20.
Both OF these spacious open-air thea
tiers have been completely redecora-
ted, refurbished and rebeautified to
surpass even the high standards they
have maintained in former seasons.
The work OF rehabilitating the COM

pursued under the direct personal
supervision OF Joseph p. Morgan, gen.
eral manager OF the Crandall thea

Much interest has attached to the
tests to which the new gold-fiber ra-
dunn screen has been put at Gran
dall's Metropolitan Theater since IL
was installed two weeks ago. Tho
tinting of Aim. which produces the
numerous color effects familiar on
the silver sheet often impairs the
clarity OF the pictured subject.
Many screens are not capable of neu-
tralizing the refractions caused by
the artificial treatments to which the
celluloid is subjected. There has not
to date been found any color treat
ment of any Aim projected that the
Metropolitan screen cannot perfectly
register. The clearness of the picture

dies and gentlemen who seek
pleasure in our fine theaters
