IA EVER was a city so radiantly H V happy as is Prague, so bubbffng H over with ecstatic joy. In every - A shop and tram and street the people beam upon me. Western Flu rope Is wrapped in bitterness and hatred; coming from that world to this is coming into brilliant sunshine out of deepest gloom. coming out Of the darkness of wailing and desola- ton to gladness and the song of birds.
 God knows this brave. courageous little nation has cause enough for bit terness-not a family but mourns its many dead, not only soldier-dead but girls and little children, martyrs to their love of motherland and liberty yet men and women come from their dead and from the sacred altars of their homes with rapt, inspired faces. At first I did not understand and gazed at them with wonder but when I saw the monument recently erected to John Huss I looked long at his face and then I realized what it meant.
 It is a magnificent memorial. solemn and grand and terrible. Before the prostrate groups that tell of persecu- ton, exile and despair, where even the young mother with her nursing babe, symbol of hope, sits with bowed head, the tall gaunt figure of the man who held truth dearer than his life, stands with uplifted head. majestic.

for just a single bed and chair, an atom of a stove and table. I went to visit one and the smiling occupant came out on the sidewalk so that l might enter. There is not room for company. The officers on guard slept there in very ancient times. Small as they are they belong to two pro- prietors, the state owns all upon the wall and the front door porch pro- jects over other land and is claimed by a private citizen. As a contrast in size the royal palace just beyond has a thousand rooms and one of it's huge halls will hold six thousand people. There is so much to say about Prague e that it is hard to pick and choose.
 Ancient Jewish Cemetery
 The sixth century Jewish cemetery interested me greatly I was fascinated in trying to decide from the carved hands and grapes and pitchers the tribe of the deceased. It is very odd to an outsider to see the many thou sands of tiny stones laid carefully along the tops of the tombs. It is the Jewish custom, as we lay flowers on the resting place of those we love. Many of these stones are of excep- tiona1 beauty and have evidently been brought from far. Speaking of re- ligion 1t is very noticeable in Prague , that there are everywhere statues of saints with radiant penitents kneeling at their feet. These date from the period immediately following the Hus- site wars. The triumphant church used every art to win her rebellious children back. After relentless perse- cution of those who would not turn to her she opened wide mothers low ing arms to those weary ones who longed again for what the church could give. The beautiful '"Tyn Church of Our Lady, is of this period. The | chief gem of the city's architecture

 When MT.

Donna" Turning to vaudeville, she attained great popularity in War Brides" the only play on the great World War, which was conceded to be of permanent value. This produc- duction showed the adaptabiIity of Nazimova's superb art to the screen. When she completed ''War Brides she resumed her work on the speak ing stage and appeared in "'Ception Shoals
 Nazimova began her celebrated Nazimova screen productions after her season in the last named play. her first super-feature being "Revela- tion," an adaptation of "A Rose Bush of a Thousand Years" Then followed in succession, "Toys of Fate,'' Eye for Eye" "Out of the Fog Ca pie turization of "'Ception Shoals"), the spectacular pageant of the Orient.

 Max Linder has a perfect vehicle for his inimitabIe fun-making powers in Be My Wife" for he himself wrote and directed the production.
 An aunt, who objects to Max as a suitor, and a rival add to the difficult ties. Expelled from her house. he disguises himself as a music teacher and all goes well until Pal" a dog. who is declared the most intelligent animal actor in pictures, discovers him.

It is the Czechish soul, that face, it has seen the light upon the distant mountain tops, and no power henceforth on earth or in heaven or in hell can turn it from what it knows is truth.
 Good Out Of Evil
 have seen in many lands the evil war has caused. I thought it wholly evil till I came here. I had seen ruin and blackness Of devastation not only of fields and cities butt of mems souls and shuddered at what I saw; only here have I found cause for gladness. It has thrilled and warmed my heart to find in this sunny, fertile, radiant little land a people so simple, so kind, so proud of all that is nob1est in their history, so helpful and so strong in truth that all the horrors of the war seem sanctified since 1t has given them their freedom.
 I did not know at all before I came here how wonderful they are. I all most felt they were a little upstart nation. claiming a German culture not their own. It is not so. The Czechish race, all by itself. through all the ages, has been marvellous; full of heroism and intellect. of high ideals

~LI.A NAZIMOVA is recognized EA as one of the most distinguished
 S actresses of the age. Nor is she > E alone pre-eminent actress. Her extraordinary Knowledge of the stage and the screen and the broad cultiva- tion of her brilliant mind have led her restless ambition into new fields. She has become not alone star of her productions, but literary arbiter of the stories and dramas she presents and in many cases the adapter of these vehicles to the screen.
 She was born in Russian Crinea in a small town called YaIta on the shores of the Black Sea. As a child she was taken to Switzerland and in Geneva was instructed in the violin. At twelve she returned to Russia and made her first public appearance by playing a violin solo at a Christmas concert in her native town. Then she went to Odessa intending to continue her violin studies. but took the dramatic course instead. Her first stage appearance was under the dfrec- tion of StanisIawsky, at the Artistic Theatre, Moscow As leading woman of q Russian stock company. she played nearly 200 parts in a wide variety of productions.
 Following this preliminary effort, Nazimova became leading woman in -'LAiglon," ''Zaza." 'Camille.'' ''The Second Mrs. Tanqueray'' and several of Ibsen's dramas. After three sea- sons in the province and St. Peters burg (now Petrograd) the company left Russia to enact ''The Chosen Peo- p1e''fn England. After this tour Ma zimova came in New York.
 Ever since her debut on the English speaking stage Nazimova's career has been an unbroken record of successes In Ibsen's "A Doll House." ''Hedda Gabler." ''The Master Builder and Little Eyo1f" she won the highest laurels. Then she returned to comedy. and in "The Countess Coquette" made an equally strong impression.

Just as the marital differences are all settled, Max awakes to find that he is not married at all, so he sets out anew on the task of winning his girl One of the tricks he uses to convince her of his bravery is to discover an imaginary burglar in her home. There follows a fight, supposedly with the burglar, but really with himself. which furnishes the high point of the fun, and finally Max comes down stairs to be hailed as-the hero.
 Even the aunt is compelled to ac- cept him a nephew-in-law.

 More than all to me however is the fact that men have struggled here to reach a higher truth and freedom of thought, through all the darkness OF many centuries. I went back again and again to gaze at the sculptured face, of John Huss, and to me the lesson Prague has taught is this:l Truth, burned and tortured, yes and buried, yet shall live, triumphant.
