In a recent interview, D. w. Grif-

scene and again in the bridge whist
function of Way Down East" there
were notable personages who are
never seen outside of their haunts
and drawing rooms in the worlds
greatest and largest city.
The Babylonian @splendor of the
sanderson apartments gives one
glimpses of beautiful women who
are in the chorus of Broadway
shows-yet still live in the palaces
of wealth along Fifth avenue or ont
on the great estates of Long Island,
They never leave New York.
Why are they in the chorus? you
ask. 49,
p Just for the lark of it?
Just~to get that tang of life that
ever hinges upon the romances en-
tering and exiting into and from
that magic entrance to fame or for
getfulness-the stage door. -
Here is one of the greatest of all
stage beauties-pronounce SO nv

Miss Perry is one of the temptors

1915 following her two years of
tremendous success with 1t in this
country, the critics were cold, and
the manager of the theater. the
Duke of York's, still colder. In fact
the latter, after the first week, suk-
gested canceling the engagement.
But after the tremendous popular
ity of the play nothing could dis
courage Miss Keane, not even the
rumors Of Zeppelin raids and the
German invasion of England. Ana
so Romance" remained at the Duke
of York's for a month of continually
increasing patronage, moved to the
Lyric Theater, and stayed at this
house for four years-a record run
for an American play, as well as a
record achievement for an American
actress.
But distinctive as were the trib-
utes paid Miss Keane for her artis-
tic triumph in the English capital,
they were rivaled by the social
honors accorded her by England's
nobility, her famous men Of letters,
politics and other professions.
Miss Keane was received at court
in the spring following her opening.
and later was entertained on differ
ent occasions by Queen Alexandra
at Buckingham Palace. She was
taken up by Lady Arthur Paeet
and, as guest of this social celeb
rity, attended many exclusive func-
tions. She has been the guest of
the Duchess of Sutherland, the
Duchess of Marlborough, the Ouch
ess OF Westminster, Lady Ponsonby,
Countess Pembroke, Lady Diana
Manners, Lady Wyndham, the Lord
Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Lon
don, Mrs. Lloyd George, Sir Gilbert
Parker, Sir Edward Pinero, and
Rudyard Kipling While in Lon
don. Bernhard gave a luncheon at
which Miss keane was guest Of
honor
During the war she was one of
the most active participants in the
principal professional and society
affairs, tumble sales, lamp days and
benefits for the purpose of raising
funds for the men at the front.
And endless are the testimonials she
treasures for her activities in these
matters.
