THERE has been much conjecture in
this country as to Pola, NeGri,
who with the release of Passion"
leaped into instant popularity with
the American ,theatergoing public. a
popularity which was enhanced by
this remarkable stars portrayal of
La Carmencita, the cigarette girl of
Old Seville. in Gypsy Blood"
Authentic information concerning
the actual Pola Segri has been at
best fragmentary up to the present.
Ivan Needle, however. who inter-
viewed the star abroad for the Boston
Post, made it possible to make known
to the public something of Negri as
she really is.
The statement that Pola Negri is
Polish would seem to he only partial
ly true. Her father was Pole ans
her mother a hungarian. There are.
according to Mr.. Needle, about Miss
Eegri the imperiousness often found i'll
the Pole and the dramatic. half Asia =
tic. haif-Caucasian elements Of the
Hungarian.
In private life she is in reality a
countess. Her husband. Count po-
morski. resides today in obscurity on
his estate at Pollen, while the countess
pursues fame on the screen, residing
for the greater part at the fashion
able Hotel Esplanade. in Berlin.
where she is known only as the
Countess Domorski.

interesting. Her only sport is riding.
