When Mabel Came Back

A year and a half ago Mabel Nor shadow of her gay old self After long rest in the country she is now back to Hollywood, resuming her ca reer in pictures A writer describes her return, in a recent PhotopIay Magazine:
 Agnes Ayres and I were costly watching the gorgeous nlanniquins pa rade peacock-wise down the long French room at a fashion show in a smart Los Angeles shop the other evening. Suddenly a girl in a sable with red roses came down the aisle in front of us.
 ".oh, see that pretty. girl in the black bonnet,' said Agnes Ayres. Isn't she sweet? She looks exactly like Mabel Noramnd used to look when first saw her on the screen
 ''I nodded agreement
 Just then the. girl came opposite US, and as she raised a white-gloved hand in gay greeting. we said in fab bergasted chorus 'Why--ee, Mabelr
 Because you see, it WAS Mabel Normand-
 But we hadn't known her because she DID look like the Mabel Normand of ten years ago and not at all like the Mabel we have seen for the past two or three years.
 .she slipped into a seat beside pretty Mrs MaLa1on Hamilton, and while watched the lure and .fasclna- ton of gowns, my eyes kept StrayIhs in her direction
 How sweet she looked! How smooth and round and gtrIlsh he1 face was under that adorable poke bonnet, How bright and smiling and interested her big, brown eyes as she whispered to Mrs. Hamilton!

I somersauIted into the moviesi
 There was no reason for forSaking the tanbark and taking up the silver screen, but I wanted a change-Pd been a circus performer since I was two years old.
 The Polo family had been perform CTS. for generations. When I was four, we were in Italy at that time, my father was hurt in fall. The show wasn't doing well and we were divided upon among various Euro pean shows When was five, I made a balloon ascension and parachute drop with Wolf, my master, in Vienna. At six, I was bound to Wolf apprentice until I should be sixteen. He taught me trap-work, con- tortion, wire-wa1king, horseback stunts
 When was eleven, I ran away. The work was mighty hard, the food infrequent and insufficient, the pay, well-there wasn't any. I left Wolf at Hamburg, travelled through Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Turkey, the Balkans and other countries putting on little shows of my own in small inns and taverns.
 Four years of that was enough for me, and I next slowed away in the hold of a cattle boat bound for Eng land. Saving up my money, I soon was enabled to come back to Gods Country" the land of my birth. Bar mum and Bailey's was my home for the next few years, and, later, tour ed with most of the other big shows in the United States.
 Animals have never hurt me, al- though I've handled them in shows often.
 But for a place in which to get hurt commend me to the movies5 that's where you can get damagesi A month or so ago one of the ''cats'' UonS) in t'King of the Circus" scratched me up badly
 All in all, though the movies are the happiest existence I've ever ex- perienced.

An orchestra leader at '12 years of agei
 There aren't many musicians in Bridgeport-or anywhere else, for that matter-who can make this proud boast. But Louis Consoi, born in Italy, and now an American citi- zen, is one of the chosen few. MT. Conson is a wel-known instructor with a studio on Main street, and although extremely : shy of inter viewers, he consented to speak of his musical training which began at such an unusually tender age.
 Ut is strange, suppose he said, in the soft voice peculiar to the LatinS, "but there were no musicians in our family. However, we were exceptionally fond of music, as all Italians are, and we used often to go to the public square in our little home town to hear the municipal band. When I was but a babe I used to beat time to the music, and was always quieted by it.
 My mother decided that this was a good omen, and determined to give me a. musical education This be- gan when I was seven, and continued until I left Italy for America. I am

PADS AND FASHIONS OF TODAY
By ELAINE HAMNIERSTEIN, Popular Screen Star.

JUST what is responsible for the .s decided decline in the cost of clothes this summer 1t is difficult to say. There are various reasons for the fact that though labor has not yet reached the wage schedule of pre- war times, priee-tags sound pleas ant echo of bygone days.
 According to manufacturer whose output supplies the summer girl with sport clothes from coast to coast, the chief reason is the Iabnor- ma1ly advanced season. Since sum- ner has arrived ahead of time, 1t will depart earlier than usual, he argues, and backs his argument with the aid of scientists who declare that each year averages the same temper ature. Therefore, instead of dispos- ing of summer frocks and suits on schedule dates, the manufacturers are dispatching them with as much haste as possible. Visions of raw indictment weather, when the very sight of silk suit makes one shiver, have had drastic effects on the high prices which they originally pro- posed demanding.
 Shantung, pongee, linen and sport silk suits are the principal ones af- fected by this slump, and as these garments are made along conven- tiona1 lines, and the styles do not change materially from year to year, the woman with foresight will do we'll to take advantage of f>this op- portunity.
 Worsted suits of light weight ma teria1, specially designed for sum- mer wear, have made rather an abor- tive appearance, and during these warm days have the appearance oi introducing strangers from another season. They are unIined, and are really too cool for late fall wear, but If the expectations of their makers are fulfilled they will be very accept. able for the chilly days they forete11

 MT. Consolf is a faced youth-for he is still youthful, in looks, at least-and he has all the abundant temperament that proclaims him a musician. He has composed many songs and orchestra works, his selection, ttYou and IT, being particu- Iarly well-balanced in tone.

 The picture was directed by Ernest Lubitsch. The role of Anne Boleyn is/played by Henny Porten and King Henry is done by Emil Jannings. It is a fas- cinating picture, superbly acted and directed, filled with subtle humor and fine feeling. We consider it a masterpiece. Moth ing better has ever been seen on the screen than the performance of JanningS IS the brutal king. And Henny Porten is absolutely convincing as the unfortunate Anne, who was sinned against but not shining.
 The man who sat next to US in the theatre was all alone, but he was completely carried away with the picture. He kept making extremely pertinent criticism in a loud voice, such as: 'tHe sure has an eye for the 1adies," and, Gee, she's a peach; don't blame him" Every one around scowled at us, thinking he was our escort, but we wish to be ex- onerated; we never saw him be- fore.
 When he left the theatre we had to fight our way through a crowd which extended over the entire block. It looks as though -'Deception' will have the popu- larity it deserves.

This material is newcomer and is being used for summer wear in a wide assortment of heather mix lures.

EMPIRE

'eThs Offshore Pnate," 8 Metro special production, starring adorable Viola Dana, comes as the feature at traction at the Empire theatre today.
 Opinion in other cities where this picture has been seen, pronounces it a wonderfully acted, convincing bit of work. This is due both to the skill put into its production, and to the fact that it is an adaptation from a Saturday evening Post story by the we1I-known fiction writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
