On the Screen
Elsie Ferguson and Wallace
Reid Shine in ''Peier lbhsi-
son" ct the Criterion
Bv Harrictte Unclerhill

A screen version Of "Pcter lbbetson'
was shown yesterday at the Criterion
Theatre and how we wished that we
had not missed the play by John Nathan
Raphael and neglected to read the book
by Du Maurier. AS it is, we have no
idea whether Ouida Bergere and
George Fitzmaurice have followed
either closely, or whether they have
followed their own fancy in making
this picture We have an idea, how
ever that the scenario has been writ
ten from the book, for otherwise it
would have happier ending. 1t seems
that it might have had a happier end
ing even WITH the theme Of the story
untouched. When the poor Duchess Of
Towers died in the flames that de
stroyed tbe orphan asylum we longed
to see her join Peter in their dream
world, and there they might have gone
on living forever. That Is the way it
would have been if we had directed
the picture. The bringing of Peter
back to earth again for convulsive
death seemed both anti -clmactic and
cruel. Surely he had suffered enough.
And we also wondered if the ducness
realized that in saving him from the
gallows she had done a selfish thing
The picture is beautifully directed
and it brings out all Of the pathos and
tragedy of the story. The early scenes
and the dream pictures are especially
good
At first we thought We could never
accept Wallie Reid as Peter. There,
we feel, is one young man who could
never know the meaning Of heart nun
ger. 1t seemed to us, continually, that
in his wistful scenes he was on the
verge of laughter and that he might
break out any moment with, 81 got the
blues, said the blues, got the Peter
lbbetson blues" And we wanted to see
Richard Barthelmess or Gareth Hughes
in the role. But after a time We be
came roconcilcd about the time that
Walle became rcconcled probably
for later on he lost himself so com
pletely in the part that he forgot he
was Wallie Reid.
Elsie Ferguson. as the Duchess Of
Towers, gives one of the most perfect
performances of her career It
seemed. somehow, as though the whole
company WAS lnSpIltu, iol Whc' hdH
anything better been seen on the
screen than the performance Of George
Fawcett as the old ma ajor? And when
hos Montagu Love done anything to
compare with his Colonel ibbctson
/ Elliott Dexter and Paul McAllister
were seen in small parts. but they con-
tributcd mitch to the merit of the pic
( ture.
Something has been done to the
titles which makes them seem to re
feet the mood OF the story. Some of
them show sunshine and shadow,
others are all gray. 1t is very ef-
fectivc.
Hugo Resenfeld has put on de
lightful surrounding program. First
is the "Enchanted Forest" ballet in
which the whole scene and the cos
tunes change completely as you watch.
The only thing we have seen at all like
it is "When Dreams Come True in
the Greenwich Village Folles.
The prologue was arranged by
Josiah EURO. 1t has a minuet and a
gavotte from "Pique Dame" the Shep-
herds Dance, La Bergcria and La
Romanesca

Miss Vera Gainford Partner
In the Cordcl;a Gown SEo1

In announcing the opening of the
Cordoba gown and hat shop at 5ol
Madison Avenue in an article pub
lished yesterday in The Tribune It
was stated that Mrs. Robert Grosvenor
and Mrs Richard Peabody, New York
society women, had gone into business
there, with the shop "under the direct
charge Of Miss Vera Ganford.
1t was learned from Miss Gainford
last evening that she was the pro-
prietor Of the shop, with Mrs. Grosvenor
and Mrs. Peabody as business asso-
c;ates in the venture.
The statement that Miss Ganford
was merely ain charge of the shop
was obtained from New York photo
news agency and not by staff repre-
sentative of The Tribune. In view of
the fact that friends of Miss Ganford
feel that she was done an injustice by
it, The Tribune desires to make this
correction

of one who was truly great French
man.
But if Frau Ney could neither add
luster to the name of the great Marshal
Of France, nor derive reflected light
from it, she could do honor to her
native city and offer tribute to that
city's greatest son. She could, and she
did. All the music of her published
list was composed by Beethoven. She
played three sonatas, the "Andantc
favori" (Which the composer conceived
as the slow movement of the sonata in
c, Op. SO, but wisely abandoned in favor
Of the short Introduction which now
leads into the final rondo of that work
and the six Variations on an Original
Theme, Op. 3A. serenely beautiful gem

Frau Ney's Fine Qualities
IN playing these pieces Frau Ncy dis
closed herself as pianist and musi-
clan the terms are not necessarily
SYNONYMOUS Of fine fiber. She has a
marvellous sense for beauty of tone
and of phrase. Her technical insight
is deep and penetrating, if not always
profoundly poetical and emotional. She
knows where the heart of music is, even
il she does not always reach it. An
mpetuosity which is Of kin with Ter
Titanic strength sometimes carried her
off hcr feet in the final movem ments OF
the sonatas. but she plucked the flower
Of beauty wherever she found it yes

of variations in the Op. "a and in the

several happy ways. This is what
the public does today in the presen-
tation in Paris of The Pink Lady"
There is a cape. for instance. that is
well liked. Our artist. who was in
the theater the opening night. has
made a sketch of 1t. 1t is given here
and is exceedingly interesting.
1t is of white serge, and at first
part before. Nothing more erroneous.
The dressmaker and actress arranged
this cape purposely to create a sensa
ton. 1t is short in front and long in
the back. fastened with one button
between the shoulder blades.
1t is really not a complete revolution
in shoulder drapcry. for there have
been several berthas attached to aftt
ernoon gowns, also to decollete dinner
frocks which had the same outline.
Therefore. it appears to be a move
ment in dress when several frocks
feature it.

with it was a Russian thing. curious

There is a fashion among smart
women to wear their fur scarfS in the
same way as this cape is draped. They
are placed straight across the chest.
with ends that drop across the back.
An evening scarf of colored tulle or
chiffon is worn in the same way.

Moods and Menus.

The Mills family had been living
about at hotels during the earlier
part of the summer. And Rita, the
small daughter who had just ceie-
brated her eighth birthday with eight
pink candles on IL frosted cake. was a
very irritable. annoying little girl in
deed in spite of the birthday and the
eight pink candles.
She persistently refused to answer
when her mother called her she
would come in the general direction
of her mother, it is true. but Sne
simply ambled. She cried about fool
ish little things that did not matter.
and scowled. and stamped her foot.
and wanted to wear her pink organdy
dress every day. and wouldn't eat at
meal times.
And her father, who surreptitiouSl!
fed her milk chocolate and almond
bars and ices and bananas on the
hotel piazza. began to grow impatient
and asked Rita's mother whatever
allied the child, and If she didn't think
she could do something with her Il
make her little more pleasant"
Mother Genuinely Anxious.
And promptly forgot all about the
child until her next session of
naushtineSs.
1t was all very annoying and dis
turbing. and Rita's mother. genuinely
anxious about the child, mentioned
the matter to her best friend the first
afternoon after her return home. Mr..
Mills was going west on a business
trip. and his wife and little daughter
had decided to occupy their pretty
home by the lake for the remainder
of the warm weather.
Mrs. White. who had three little
daughters. regarded the child Thought

Rita won't eat properly. And l

about the little pet menu 1 used to
rely upon for the children when they
We're her age.

But Rita won't eat anything at

Mills. having copied the proposed
menu gratefully and decided to give
it a trial.

discover the truth of the prophecy.

Paris Clothes.

Paris calls our once popular musical
comedy by the name of La Dame en-

spectacular gown that was brought to

was called La Femme a la Rose
Now they take our pretty little Pink

phrase.
Not only does all Paris go to see
the witty comedy and to hear the girl
in pink play the violin. but the dress
makers and artists go TO see the al
Turing new clothes. That's their pc
culiar trick when clothes are a propa-

An Affection of Age.

Varicose veins are not always pres

normal health. = condition usually
exists earliest among people who
stand a great deal. a position that
causes Stagnation of the blood, hence
pressure on the walls of the veins.
until the VEIN becomes distended,
knotted and painful.
. That is a single. untechnical ex-
planaticn of varIcose veins. AS the
first cause of tie trouble is Stagna-
tion of the blood. the logical first
method of curing this would be to
stimulate the circulation and relieve
the congestion. An excellent way of
doing this is by friction with the palm
of the hand
