His last number was his own arrange That Old Refrain" which has a lovely air and it was played in tones of exquisite sweetness.
 Plays Famous Caprice.
 Kreisler's tonal effects coupled with emasterly interpretation form a com bination that cannot be exce1led. As his first encore he gave Caprice Viennois,'' a selection that, like the Indian Lament" and the 'Chanson Indoue," is indissolubly linked with Kreisler. He has made them par ticularly his own.
 Yesterdays concert was perhaps the most successful of the series thus far this year. Kreisler always has been and probably will be about the most popular artist that ever visits Bridge port. His popularity, however, is based upon merit, pure and simple. Carl Lamson was tthe accompanist of the afternoon and his work was sympathetic and open to criticism in Lament" the piano was a trif1e too loud and did not form the soft back ground for the exquisite strains of this composition that is so necessary as the violin is muted.

 The next artist to appear in the Steinert Concert Series is Mary Gar den, noted prima donna, who has recently been made director of the , Chicago Grand Opera company. She will appear here on Feb. 20. Un- doubtedly there will be a large at tendance as Miss Garden has long been a unique figure in the operatit world and then, too, it will be heI asf

Rupert Hughes Writes
 wicked" Scenarios

Rupert Hughes was just about to protest when he heard E. Mason Hopper, director, and John J. Mes call, camerman for his picture Dan gerous Curve Aheadl" say that he wrote wicked scenarios, when he dis covered that they did not mean inn moral, but only difficult scenarios.
 MT. Hughes, who is spending all his waking hours just now at the Goldwyn studio cooperating in the screening of his picture, has many original ideas. That is why the man who holds the megaphone and the one who turns the crank of the camera assert that his pictures are wicked. For original ideas are often difficult of execution. In Dangerous Curve Aheadi" for instance, some of the scenes called for six eXpoSureS-
 Time was, and that not so long ago, when it was revolutionary to have double exposures. and they are still very difficult to make. Yet MT. Hughes blthely asks to have six ex- posures-and gets them, of course. But to accomplish his desire, all the skill of science and patience of Job are needed.

HOW ABE REYNOLDS
 MADE STAGE DEBUT

Years ago there was born, in a humble little home on the East Side in New York, little boy who was destined to see his name blazed forth in electric lights in AZ principal cities of the country before he was 30 years old.
 At an early age, when most chil- dren are still at school, this little boy obtained his first job as a messenger or delivery boy in one of the large department stores. where most of the stage stars of that period had ac- counts He was proud of his job and his neat new uniform and his meager wages were a great help to his hard working father.
 One afternoon he was despatched, post haste. to a Broadway theatre, with a package to be defievered to one of the feminine members of the cast of a show then at dress re- hearsal-
 He was standing in the wings watching the action of the piece and waiting for the lady to leave the stage, so that he could deliver the package to her in person, as instruct ed, when the new assistant stage di- rector spying the boy in uniform. grabbed his arm and fairly lifted him bodily upon the stage. saying Wake up! Wake upi That's your cuei Go on. Go oni'
 The boy was so frightened that he was in the centSr of the stage be fore he realized il. Then turning to the assistant director he inquired, in his naturally funny way, Whats the matter? Whats the matter2'i
 The quaint way ne pronounced the words and the amazed, confused ex- precision on his face brought forth shrieks of laughter from every one The rehearsal was brought to a stand still and explanations were in order It seemed that the play called for a delivery boy to enter with a package just at the moment the assistant di- rector had showed the boy upon the stage The part was only a "'bit' and during the earlier rehearsal had been .assigned to a young girl who alsI played the port of a maid in another act
 On the afternoon of the dress re- hearsal, however, she had eSperienc- ed difficulty in getting into the uni. | form and at a moment when she | should have made her entrance she was still in her dressing room strug- i young director who was familiar witt ! quainted with the members of the cast. naturally mistook the real de livery boy for the one in the play | (not knowing that the part had beer
 assigned to the girD with the result
 that a future star" made his frs appearance on any stage, by forc' and not by inclination
 However, the results proved emf
 nently more satisfactory to the boy
 who had always been fascinated b.
 the theatre and in his young hear
 cherished the ambition to become al
 actor.

When Edgar Lewis first commence Pathe, 'HThe Sage Hen," everyone wanted to know just what sage hen" was- MT. Lewis explained in this way.
 "A sage hen','' he said, was a term applied in certain parts of the old West to strange women of doubtful character They were an object of suspicion and looked upon as an un- clean thing In my production have tried to make the character a some thing to- be p1tied-a woman who was undeserving of such treatment and was strong enough to cope with all the in-treatment given to one of her stamp"
