And so Mile. Dherlys, the most photo
graphed woman of Paris, has refused to
allow any record of her latest artistic eff
fort to be handed down to posterity In such
a compromising document as a photograph,
because she has become ashamed!
Ashamed because she isn't permitted to
wear a string of pearls to hide the naked
ness she feels In her new part.
This Is the first time she has ever felt
shame; many people thought She never
could. For four years she has been making
exhibitions OF herself that have shocked
and then rather pleased the people who
have seen her. And she has been pretty

caresses her and runs his hands over her

But it was not the remarks of Don
Juan of the accompanying business" to
which Mdlle. Dherlys objected. 1t was
the proposed absence Of drapery.
She had no liking for this Lady Godiva
businessmen the historical precedent
didn't inspire her. It shocked her. The
fair Lady Of Coventry may have made this
sacrifice OF her modesty to save her fellow
countrymen, but Mile. Dherlys could not
see why she should be called upon to make
similar sacrifice for anything less than
patriotic, national cause. To save France
or her dear city Paris-yes, for that she
would do It; but for nothing less. The
idea of following the example of Lady
Godiva for no more lofty and exalted a
purpose than saving the cost OF costume
for her managers seemed banal and inane.
But the manager was insistent. Well,
perhaps, she finally said, and very reluct-
antly Mile. Dherlys surrendered. But one
condition she absolutely demanded-if she
appeared in the play costumed only in the
blond wig which the manager handed her

and asked why she drew the line at posing
for a photograph Of how she appears in

PARIS, April 10.

PARIS. April 10.
TUST what is the real extreme limit Of
.modesty in dress? Can the line of de-
markation be drawn so finely that a
mere string of pearls could determine the
status of what is proper and what is i'm
proper on the stage or in a photograph?
In these days, when skirts are so short
and gowns are cut SO low, we have become
accustomed to look upon things in mat
ter-offact way, as perfectly rational and
acceptable, things the very thought Of
which would have shocked and shamed us
few years ago. The abnormal has be-
come normal and the point Of view of our
moral outlook has been considerably
shifted here in gay Paris.
Bearing in mind the scanty costumes of
the present day, when the modern woman,
like Flora McFlimsy. Of Madison Square,
of olden times, complains that she has
nothing to wear" she is not overstating
the case!
. But Mile. Simone Dherlys, the Partisan
stage favorite, who has gained a certain
questionable fame and reputation by wear
ing less clothes, more frequently, in her
appearances on the stage, than any other
woman ever dared to do, is quite different
from the women who make complaint that
they "have nothing" to wear. Mile.
Dherlys wears nothing, so has no use for
anything to wear, and, therefore, never
complains that she has nothing to wear"
but rather takes a delight in 1t. At least,
she did take delight in it until recently.
La Belle Dherlys, the name by which she
Is known in Paris. has been an attractive
feature in every "revue" that has been pro-
duced at the Casino de Paris for the, past
four years. Her generous displays OF her
undraped charms have become fixed insti
tutions in this temple Of pleasure. She
first attracted public notice-that is. on the
stage, for she was mixed up in the news
papers in the scandal which occasioned the
deportation of Tod Sloan. the former popu-
lar American jockey, from England-when
she appeared in revue" that was pro-
duced about four years ago, clothed merely
in a wealth of well-placed and discreetly
arranged strings OF pearls. With each
subsequent appearance in the various
"revues" that followed she showed high
ly artistic, progressive spirit and the num-
Der of the strings of pearls became less and
less. She followed her ambition to such
an extent that on the occasion of her most
recent appearance II was necessary to
search for the pearls before you were
aware that there were any there.
But as It was not the absence Of clothes
that gave charm to the Garden of Eden,
but the presence Of innocency. so has Mile.
Dherlys. in spite Of the peculiar manner
she has chosen to advance dramatic art,
always retained a certain innocenct which
has made her appreciate that limit exist.
ed as TO how far she would go In revealing
her charms, even for the sake of her art.
Some people, II is true, wondered when
she was going to reach this limit, but, new
ertheless, Mile. Dherlys did reach 1t and
has made her protest when impelled to go
farther.
For the part that Mile. Dherlys plays in the
great artistic ensemble that goes to make

the fame of the Partisan theatre Is moth
ing more than an artistic revelation of her
exquisite loveliness, symmetry Of form and
beauty of line. which, even though 1t seems
done with bold, audacious daring, is so ar
tistic that 1t does not altogether shock.
Even the police OF Paris, although she is
continually breaking the regulations re-
specting nudity on the stage. refuse to ar
rest her, for they claim that what she does
is too exquisitely artistic to permit its be-
ing suppressed by the law.
Perhaps 1t was not strange that the
women in the audiences before whom Mile.
Dherlys appeared always seemed more per-
turbed than the men. But even the women,
after they had regained their breath and
had taken courage to look in spite Of their
convictions, usually seemed pleased and
admired the artistic side Of the exhibition.
No one would think, to see Mile Dherlys
making what appears to be brazen exhi-
bition of herself on the stage. that she
possessed any sense OF modesty. But 1t
would seem that she does. The worm ap-
pears to have turned atlast. Dherlys has

ayers have exacted from her she finds
exaggerated even II 1t was only the de-
privatiop of string of pearls.
She has found that the call of art can
fined and delicately conceived is her point
of view, there is only question Of a string
of pearls or two between the manner they
have dressed her for a part at which she
rebelled and what she has been doing for
the past -four years.
A string of pearls as protective cover
ing for ones body and saving grace for
ones modesty might not seem much, but
to Mile. Dherlys's highly cultivated, dis
eliminating sense of modesty it meant
everything.
La Belle Dherlys was engaged to repre-
wholesale lover Don Juan, in Henry Ba-
, taille's sensational play "L'Homme la
Rose" In the last act of the play Don
Juan, in his decadence, musing on his past
through a night of retrospection, sees vi
sions Of his past loves appear to him. These
are represented by bevy of eight beauti-
full young WOMEN in varying degrees of
nudity. Mile. Dherys is the principal, ap-
pearing like Lady Godiva, of the legend of
Coventry, who saved her people by riding
through the streets of her native town on
horseback, clothed only in her long, flow
ing hair. When asked to appear in the
play as did Lady Godiva, Mile. Dherlys re-
fused, but finally, had to submit to the
wishes of the theatre manager.
AS the apparitions Of his early loves
pass before him, Don Juan INDUCES in ex-
clamations of rhapsody and delight. He
lives over again the most intoxicating ex-
periences of his youth. When the lovely
vision that the manager wished Mile.
Dherlys to impersonate appears before
him. his remarks become peculiarly per.
sonal.
"Ah, is that you, little one," exclaims
the musing. enchanted Don Juan. why

in two theatres during

Dherlys ever wears
enough to be dignified

When Mile. Dherlys
was doing a double
turn at various theatres
in an evening she was
not troubled much in
dressing for the two ap-
pearances. When she
finished her part at the
Casino de Paris she
merely enveloped her
self in a fur coat, in
the undraped condition
she had appeared on
the stage, jumped into
her waiting automibile
