Camille Will
Be a Modern Heroine

NAZIMOVA was able to put one Of
= ' her theories into practice in her
latest production, Camille, the adap-
tation from the classic drama by Alex
ander Dumas the younger.
Camille" was written by a French
man Of the nineteenth century, and as
such the characters are garbed IN the
now picturesque costumes of that perod.
Some might hold that the period with
which the play deals should faithfully
mirror the times. But Nazimova has
other views.
IF Camille were merely historical
play there might be validity in this
view Nazimova says. But il is any =
thing but that. Its theme is universal
depicting the tragic emotions which
could belong to any time and age.
For this reason / have put every
touch of modernism into it possible
and so have made picture that bears

 When the army of Austria first oyer-ran Italy in the fall of 1917, many school tcacbers fled to the South with their pupils One of these, who had taught in a boys school and had man. aged 10 bring his entire class through 10 safety, planned the farm school. which Is known as the CoIlestrada School. Officials of the American Red Cross aided in the selection of the site, huge. -proportioned old hospital. where years ago St. Francis d'Assizi used tG visit the sick The Junior Red Cross Of America provided the means for supporting these Italian children who were orphaned by war, and in recognition of this fact an inscription was placed over the door as follows:
 The Junior American Red Cross re- stored this historic building. conse- crated in ancient times by St. Francis, and it Is now the home of the Italian children orphaned during the war"
 The boys in this farm school all work together for the common good. They apportlon the work among them selves, have school president, whom they elect by popular vote, and have regular disciplinary code and board of discipline. members of which are appointed by the school as whole. This board decidas the punishment to be given offenders against the schools laws
 With the aid of their teacher in mathematics, the boy farmers keep their own accounts. Under the guid- ance of their other teachers they culti- vate the schools lands, raise chickens turkeys, rabbits and bees, and with the surplus of the proceeds of their farms they support other orphans like themselves who wish to join the col ony.
 There now are nifty boys in the school, and other schools in Italy are trying out in more or less complete way the cooperative system In use in the ColleStrada School
