MODERN GIFT SHOP
IDEA STARTED BY
new ENGLAND MAID

Gift shops have become such an in
tegral part of the shopping centers of
every city that one scarcely stops to
think that they are, comparatively
speaking, a young enterprise. Popu-
lar as they are in every part of the
country now, one somehow or other
always connects them with the New
England town that one always expects
to spend lovely afternoons poking
around among old-fashioned rooms on
an informal hunt for gift or remem-
brance. And one always calls it a
quaint town and speaks of the hunt
as "poking' around. Otherwise it
might be compared to plain. ordinary
everyday shopping.
Started One of First.
One of the most beautiful and most
famous gift shops in the country is in
Hartford. Conn. 1t is run by Miss Cora
Greenwood and Miss Sybil M. Gray.
Miss Greenwood is one of the pioneers
in the establishment of gift shops.
About Is years ago she started her
little shop with Miss Gray. At that
time there were only two or three
shops of that nature in the entire
country.
Miss Greenwood has always kept
her shop in residence and has kept
as far away as possible from the COM
mercial atmosphere. Her shop Is now
located in the residential part of Hart
ford on a main thoroughfare and oc-
cupies two floors of large old-fash-
toned brick house. the spacious veran-
da and beautifully kept gardens furth-
er carrying out the idea of a home.
For many years while carrying on
the shop Miss Greenwood was art in
structor at the Hartford high school
resigning about 10 years ago because
of the growth of her business.
The fact that the commercial at.
mosphere is submerged in the shop
does not mean that it is a small enter
prise, for Miss Greenwood and Miss
Gray go to Europe each year to OBJ
tain material for their shop.

BILLIE BURKE At
LAST IN CHORUS

Billie Burke had her first experience
in the chorus when scenes of her
latest vehicle, 1.-THE Education of
Elizabeth" were filmed. There have
been numerous stage and screen stars
who have made their way to stardom
via the merry merry" but Miss
Burke is not one Of these.
Miss Burke has the role of Eliza
beth Banks, a chlorine" in a big New
York musical revue, and the opening
scenes of the production show her at
work with the company. Being the
wife of Flo Ziegfeld. the well known
New York theatrical manager, Miss
Burke obtained the most lavish revue
for her comedy that was ever seen
in a motion picture studio. A COM
plete number from Ziegfeld's mid
night Frolic'' was transported to the
set with costumes which were re-
mark able for their artistic beauty.
Miss Burke was given one of the
prettiest costumes and never did she
look more charming than when she
took her place with the other women
Donald Cameron is her leading man
and heads strong supporting cast.

This dome contains a painting,

that it contains a bit of the desert in
the foreground, with the cactus and

caught the spirit of the mountain and

skies. 1t is really the show piece of
the theater and the figure of music in
the dome is from original drawings of
Miss Maureen Olsen of Phoenix, who
consented to pose for Mr.. Villa.

MEASURES TO HELP
POOR WORKING GIRL
!. ADVOCATED BY STAR

While laws have been passed limit
ing in measure the practice of rent
gouging and profiteering, something
should be done to bring relief to poor
working girls, teachers and others
who in order to beat the high cost of
living are compelled to do their cook
ing in their own rooms at the risk of
being dispossessed, according to
Constance Talmadge.
The screen comedienne reached this
conclusion after making some inter-
esting discoveries while in search for
one-room apartment in cheap
boarding house to take a scene for
Good References" her latest First
National picture.
why, / never dreamed that SO
many girls were secretly cooking
their own meals on gas jets. electrical
equipment and so on until we went
on a hunt for good place to take
a SET" she said. Il believe now that
most of the working girls in. New
York who are not living in their own
homes are doing this. And the worst
of it is that in 80 per cent of the
places without kitchens or kitchen
cites where this sort of thing is going
on, the landlords forbid the practice
on pain of expelling their tenants. /
met several girls who told me they
could not afford to buy all their
meals out and that their salaries
were not large enough to permit the
renting of kitchenette apartments.
But it was also very funny to
learn how many of these girls man
aged to keep their cooking activities
hidden from their landlords. Some
used various preparations which
drive away all odors of cooking, and
practically all have very good hiding
places. They put their gas plates or
electric grills and dishes behind
clocks, in bureau drawers, under mat
tresses, and many other strange
places. One company which manu-
features a powder to drive away
| cooking odors is said to be piling up
a fortune as a result of this con-
dition.
Il think that laws should be passed
protecting girls and others who are
compelled to Go their own cooking in
these places where cooking is for
hidden. OF course. if a girl is a poor
cook and causes an unsanitary condi-
f, ton, l cannot blame a landlord for
wanting to get rid of her. But l
| think that little harm is done in most
cases, and that the courts at least
should pass on each case before any
| tenant is turned out for her cooking
activities
In an fort to combat the high cost
| of boarding, Constance Talmadge,
playing the part of an orphaned
daughter of a struggling novelist in
| Good References" attempted to pre-
pare a meal over one of these trick"
cookers by no means a novel practice,
but productive OF very novel results.

lion of the marvels of electricity ana
their use in the modern theater.
The wiring of the theater may pc
termed its invisible feature, as II
plays an important part by making
possible the gorgeous lighting effects
without which no modern playhouse
il complete. Yet the little wires that
carry the current are never seen--in
the Rialto not an electrical fixture is
seen, for all the lighting is Indirect.
There are several thousand lights
il, the Rialto There are lights OF
every size and every color; lights in
every part of the theater. Yet from
the same panel in the operators booth
any one light, or so, of 100, 1000,
may be turned on or off as unit as
the operator wills. Any number OF
lights in any part of the theater may
be formed into a combination by a
turn of the switch. Groups of colored
lights may be used alone, or combined
to give new effects.
The remarkable variety OF lighting
effects made possible by the wiring
az the Rialto is but one OF many rea-

lures in that particular line, however
For instance, the exit lights and the
light on the console of the pipe organ
are on d separate circuit from the
other light of the theater. Thus If a
fuse should blow out on the main
lighting system the organist would
still be able to play, to entertain the
audience during the forced intermis-
sion, while the exit lights would con-
tinue to indicate the way out for
those who did not care to wait. Not
only that, but the exit and console
lights soon will be placed on stor-
age battery, so that no accident to
the light system of the city can ex-
tinguish them.
BY these means there is no posi-
bility of the theater being thrown into
total darkness-a factor of safety as
well as convenience.
Another feature of interest in the
Rialto's lighting is the system of aisle
lights. Arranged on the seats next
the passageway, not far above the
floor, these tiny lights illuminate the
aisles without relieving the dimness
of the theater while the picture is be-
ing shown. Movie fans who have had
experience in stumbling along ar
aisle, with everything in darkness

the utmost.
While the complicated lighting sys-
tenn of the Rialto is controlled entire
ly from the switches grouped into
master switches" on the panel in the
operators booth, the needs of road
shows, legitimate stage productions,
have not been overlooked. Thus it
has been made possible for the lights
of the theater to be controlled also
from the stage.
In connection with the wiring. the
organ console, the stage, the ticket
office and the operators booth of the
theater have been connected by direct
telephone.
The operators booth of the theater
is equipped for three machines, and
the necessary equipment has been in
stalled and preparations made to use
either alternating or direct current
as desired
AS stated before, the electrical
work in the Rialto was done by the
New State Electric company under
the personal supervision of AL Rosen-
berg. Both Mr.. Rosenberg and the
New State have had wide experience
in that line, however, for the company
has been operating here, and steadily
growing, since 1910. In addition to
doing a general electrical contracting
business, the firm handles all kinds OF
fixtures and electric appliances and
does all kinds of repairing.
Among the larger buildings ir
which the wiring and fixtures are
the work of the New State Electric
company are the Adams hotel-tht
firms first big job-the Monroe
school, Kenilworth school. Savoy
hotel, the two Walker buildings. the
Home Builders building. Heard
building, National Bank of Arizona
Arizona Deaconess hospital Sisters
hospital, Strand theater, Riveside
park, and the liberal arts building al

erford's only comment the other day
when he was asked for a statement
on the construction of the Rialto
theater. Mr.. Weatherford, a general
contractor. was general superintend-
ent of the work and to him more
than any other persons must credit
for it's successful completion be given.
we all did our best, and if it is
a success the people will find it out
without the aid of statement ex-
planned Mr. Weatherford. Judging
from the comments of all who have
seen the new playhouse, the people
already have found it out.
The Rialto was under construction
about seven months, with an average
of 40 workmen always on the job.
Not an accident occurred, and there
was not a check in carrying out the
plans.
Mr.. Weatherford resigned his office
as city building inspector little more
than year ago to engage in the con-
tracing. business. During the war he
served overseas as a first lieutenant
in the 301st heavy battalion of the
tank corps.

ply of cool and washed air every five
minutes. The seats are wide and
comfy. The space between them is
ample, the vision is unimpaired from
any seat in the big auditorium, either
on the lower floor or the balcony.
The front seats are as desirable as
those in the rear. by reason of the
fact that the screen is at the back
of the stage and is thrown into deep
shadow by the Grapes or tabs that
run from the opening to the picture
sheet.

many comforts. 1t has everything
