official family in celebration OF the

Any attempt at estimating the
number that heard the orchestral
concert. quartet singing and solos,
witnessed the tableaux and partici-

much APPLAUSE. These were given un-

'sTO PLEASE ONE WOMAN
FEATURED AT THE QUEEN

Lois Weber, noted woman producer
has made ITO Please One Woman"
the picture which opens a run at the
Queen Theatre beginning Monday,
From the womans viewpoint she
has developed story OF American
society, using as one of her chief
characters woman to whom men
meant nothing II not wealth and the
means to attain her own selfish ends.
Miss Weber Is an intelligent woman
and she Possesses a keen insight into
the order of things in American So
ciety today. The picture Is endowed
with a supreme dramatic moment In
the realistic touch that is given To a
death scene and the natural quality
OF II Is said to evoke a tremor II not
tear.
Everyone will like ITO Please One
Woman" II is n delightful picture
slioe OF life. IL is done with real
people, each actor or actress having
been selected 10 At the character
which he or she is TO portray. And
is so beautifully and sensibly directed
aud the continuity Is so good and the
titles all are part OF the story.
Claire Windsor, Miss Weher's favor
lite heroine. Is beautiful In way taat
ruggests both wistfulness and intesli-
ecnce at that period OF life when youth
is turning into womanhood. IT is
master stroke TO select her for the
role OF Alice Granville the heroine OF
"To Please One Woman" Mona Lisa
has n vampish role which she nils to
perfection. The story OF the piece Is
worked out smoothly and logically and
| every bit should prove interesting
And the ending Is not too happy and
none of the people are too-bad or toe
| good. ITO please One Woman" is a
picture that comes as near as possible
to being perfect performance.

would take her away from the polls.
Again her friends called her odd" but
again she had the laugh on them, for
along came Leon DE Costa, who was
looking for a young, beautiful prima
donna for his new musical comedy.
Miss Velie wouldn't listen to him un-
til he explained that the engagement
meant only two weeks on tour and
then long engagement on Broadway,
beginning october 10, with plenty OF
time. not only TO vote but TO work for
her political ideas. Then she signed
her Rame on the dotted line.
Miss velie is a Denver girl, a gradu-
ate of the famous musical stock COM
pany OF that city. and aside from her
stage career achieved international
fame through her selection as the
model for the great statue of "The
American Red Cross Nurse" which
Rauol de Frenet. the famous French
sculptor, is carving and which is to be
Sc up in a public square in Paris.

Miss Venus" the new musical comedy

is an odd sirl. After her first New
York engagement. in a very small part
in THE Only Girl" she was offered a
leading role in "Have a Heart" but
refused it TO accept place in the
chorus Of "oh Lady, Lady" because
she wanted to complete her education
as a dancer and thought the chorus
the best dancing school. She learned
20 dance and as a result was given a
big role in The Kiss Burglar" in
which she shared honors with the
star, Fay BANTER, during the New
York engagement, Her rise was
rapid. In Going Up" and LA La
Lucille" she attracted the attention of
no less judge Of artistic merit than
George NJ. Cohan and was selected by
him to create the title role in Mary. -
When. a few months ago, Mr.. Cohan
withdrew from the theatrical field
Miss Velie was offered many tempting
roles including a stellar one but as
they all meant touring the country
until late in November at least, she
refused them because she had just
turned twenty-one and was eagerly
awaiting the experience Of casting heI
first vote. She had become intensely
interested in the reform. movement il
