Society Takes to the Stage

r T was only a decade ago, with some
old ideas still influencing society,
= that claim of interdependence
between fashionable drawing room
and the dressing room Of a Broadway
theatre or the studio of film corpo-
ration would have been regarded as
daringly sulphitic.
| To be sure society always, even In
Its most aloof days. fell back upon the
stage for much of its best amusement,
and even went so far as to import
whole theatrical productions to it's
country colonies for time killing pur-
poses. but the barriers of distinction
wero carried away by the war that
succeeded almost entirely In removing
such word as exclusive from modish
nomenclature.
Some social philosopher has yet to
work out the psychological reasons
why modern women of unearned in
crement and acknowledged social
standing seek careers" in general and
the stage In particular. Thus, why
should Mrs. r. A. ID. Cort Van der
Linden, representative OF a typical
family of the American landed gentry,
enter, like others of her order, the
theatrical profession Mrs. Van der
Linden, whose husband Is son of the
present Minister of State of Holland,
will make her debut in a new play,
I'VE Girls" which will be produced
next month in New York.
Mrs. van der Linden is a daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Cruger Hasell. niece
of Mrs. William L. Iselin and grand
daughter OF the late Mason Renshaw
Jones. whose estate. still held by the
family. takes In some OF the most valu-
able property at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Fifty-seventh street
Very recently a woman of tho old
social school said In criticism: 1T Is
because society has become theatrical
by that 1 mean self-assertive. even bold,
and too highly colored."
But" replied her hearer. "you must
admit modern society Is very much alive
and forward only in the sense that it is

The New York herald., 1921-10-02

There Is no stopping society's for
wardness. Two of the earliest incidents
OF the season are to illustrate it. and the
newest OF the two newest theatrical
stunts by society Is to oe a filmed
melodrama In which all the participants
were amateurs OF the Tuxedo Park COL
ony. The film called "The Kick in IT,
is to have its first showing in the ball
room of tho Tuxedo Club next Friday
night for the benefit OF the College Set
tlement at Mount Ivy and the Tuxedo
Hospital.
The natural question is, who started
II? When one finds that one of the
chief propelling influences was Mrs
Meredith Hare the reply Is quite nat
urally." as Mrs. Hare is one OF that
group OF women who have made the
Film Mutual Benefit Bureau a business
success. Associated with Mrs. Hare in
promoting the Tuxedo Park film were
Mrs. Montgomery Hare. Mrs. George
st. George, Mrs. David wagstaff. Mrs
Philip Kip Rhinelander and Miss Ann
ette Tilford. a sister OF Mrs. wagstaff.
Mr.. Le Roy W. Baldwin, president OF
the Empire Trust Company. financed
the film, the technical work Of which
was supervised by n well knorn film
corporation. There had 20 be that pro-
fessional cooperation. Miss Lucille Bald
win. daughter OF Mr.. Baldwin, plays
q stellar role in the large cast.
Tuxedo Park stands for social ad-
vancement, but The Kick In IT, gives
TO that colony a new reputation for
originality. Tho scenario. written by
Miss Edith Percy Morgan. daughter OF
Mrs. Edith Parsons Morgan. Is based
upon report printed In the newspapers
last year that wild family had been
found living close to nature In the Ram
apo Hills, not far from the sophisticated
life in Tuxedo Park. For melodramatic
purposes Miss Morgan introduced n
moonshine still with gallons of Illicit
''hooch" and Jealous lover. The Wild
girl. the hooch and the lover make "a
perfect scream of a film" TO use the
descriptive words OF q member OF the
cast

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ENDORSES BILL

The Navajo County Highway Com
mission meeting at Hoibrook, last
Monday, the 7th, passed a resolution
[indorsing the bill introduced by Sen
ator Scott appropriating $4,000 for
the Improvement of the highway be-
tween Holbrook and the New Mexico
time, however, there have been bills
introduced by the good road commit
tees of the legislature which cover
the several separate appropriation
bills for roads throughout the state,
generally cutting the appropriations
named in the original bills, and max
ing total appropriation of 1915, 900
This bill takes care of the road from
HolbrOOk to the New Mexico line with
$4,000. In northern Arizona this
bill also covers the line of the Ma
tional Old Trails from Williams to
Ash Fork and from Ash Fork west to
the Mohave county line Also an
appropriation for the road connect
ing with the Old Trails and running
north through Mohave county join
ing with the state highway system
CT Utah. Later there has been a bill
introduced for the construction of a
road from Williams 10 Clarksdale
This would be direct road from
middle and southern Arizona to the
Grand Canyon. Altogether the road
legislation looks very promising to
all ections of the state and while
some portions are raising objections,
these objections are mostly made be-
cause of lack of real knowledge of
the merits of the bill which provides
for the improvements of the roads
throughout the state where they are
most needed and will be of the
greatest benefit TO the greatest num-
Der of local residents and the tour
ist traffic.

LEST WE FORGET

A few years ago when, in the dark
est moments of the war, the Ger
mans were DRESSINGS towards Paris,
and the Turks. under German tute-
i. .lage were cutting, their way to the
East, two nations came. to the rescue.
On the Western front the American
manhood broke the deadlock. In
Asia Minor the small Armenian army
threw itself across the enemy's path
and saved Asia to the Allies.
Today the children of this brave
eastern army are. on the verge of
starvation. More than 100000 or
phans have been rescued by. Ameri-
can funds, but for each of these for
tunate children there are three help
less waits hiding in mountain caves,
or ruined novels and feeding upon
grass or refuse.
Surrounded now by enemies-the
Turks and, rls,-part of the Ar
menian Republic has been overrun
and thousands Of people who were
reestablishing themselves have been
driven from their homes. The roads
to all the large centers are iammed
with refugee women and children,
shoeless, almost naked and without
food.
The Near East Relief is appealing
to Arizona to care for 1900 children
located in the orphanaeo- at Mardin.
They are utterly helpless, no govern
ment to grant them aid no fathers
to give them bread, no mothers to
love them and nurse them to healt .
Five dollars month, sixty dollars
a year, will provide one of these
children with three meals a day
Bread with tea, sometimes soup,
even an occasional onion, is the diet
three times a day for these helpless
children. We cannot give them less,
They depend upon Arizona for Their
very life. ~
Besides the orphans, there are
some 100000 young women and girls
who were stolen into the harems of
the unsDeakable Turks, and who
must remain there, until funds. are
available 10 rescue thnm and bring
them back to new life.
