London that she had in mind the
idea of an Italian story for me, n
l Immediately pictured myself in a
black wig and dark make-up. Then
when we went down into Northern
Italy to work out the story and hunt
the locale I still had visions of wear
ing the hot, uncomfortable false
hair. But we stopped in a little
town and there l saw two or three
blonde girls-one of them very
| beautiful. The mayor of the village
came out to meet us and as he could
speak English very we'll l asked him
if the girls were visitors or natives
He told me that many of the natives
of Northern Italy had generations
before intermarried with Saxons OF
the north and even with Teutonit
races and that many of the tru'
Italians were even 10Y blondes. Sc

THEATRES
At the Majestic


The artistry for which Leo Dit
richstein is noted and which has won
for him the position of one of h
foremost actors of the day is the re-
suit of hard work and long years of
experience in things theatrical. His
fame is not of the mushroom varie-
ty, won from a single success, but
has been attained through the thirty
years that he has been before the
public. Year after ear has seen
him climbing higher and higher oil
the ladder of fame. Now there is
probably no male star on the Amer
lean stage who has as large a per-
sonal following as Mr.. D~itrichstein.
This is not confined to any one C.
ton of the country but reaches from
Cape Cod to the Golden Gate and
from Montreal to San Antonio.
Not only is Mr.. D~itrichstein an
actor of consummate skill and finish
but he is a brilliant playwright.
There are thirty-three plays to his
credit of which he is the author oil
co-author or which he has adapted
from some foreign language for his
personal use. Even in those plays
for which he claims no credit there
are but few in which he has appear
ed that have o revealed the deli
cate touch of his master craftsman
ship. He also is an accomplished
musician and a deep student of the
classics. At his home in Stamford,
Conn, he possesses a library of five
thousand carefully selected and
thoroughly read books.
Mr.. Ditrichstein had been on the
stage about five years, appearing in
many roles before he scored his first
real hit. That was a Zou-Zou in
''Trilby," in which he appeared in
1895. During the next five years he
became better and better known as
an actor of unquestionable ability in
such plays as THE Stag Party"
"Under the Polar Star" "Dr. Claud-
ius," "Hedda Gabler' and AT the
White Horse Tavern" From 1895
until he wrote and starred in THE
Concerto in 1910. which was n of
the greatest successes YER produced
Mr.. Ditrichstein wrote or appeared
in twenty-one plays.
"Toto" win be shown at the Ma
iestic next Tuesday.
