Rita Jo1'vet Tr,umbhs r. Leading Role of Master Spectacle "7Aeodora

In the big Goldwyn spectacle, "Theodora," which has scored such sensational success which comes to Langs Theatre Monday, theatregoers have their first glimpe in several years of beautiful Rita Jolivet, the young French actress who came to this country for the first time seven years ago to act in an Oriental spectacle. That was her advent to Broadway, and from the first night when she made her magnetic appearance in the East ern robes of a young Persian prin- cess, the name of Rita Jolivet became symbolical immediately of the most exquisite type of Oriental loveliness upon the stage.
 The name of Miss Jolivet naturally is familiar to all who remember the Lusitania tragedy for when the ship went down, it was Miss Jolivet who was standing next to the late Charles Frohman, and it was she who gave to the world the last remark made by the great theatrical manager as the Lusitania sank: "Why fear death? It is most beautiful adven- ture in life"
 Miss Jolivet was picked up by one of the life boats and landed in Ire land, later going to her home in France, where she did patriotic work during the war. It was just two years ago that she became the wife of an Italian nobleman, Count di Cip- pico. She has a beautiful villa near Taormina, on the Island of Sicily, oc- cupying the same identical Italian villa that was the summer home for many years of the late Clyde Fitch. She also has town house in Milan.
 Miss Jolivet, although born a French woman, is an Italian through marriage, and is regarded as one of the leading opponents of the film drama in Italy. She was selected by the two famous directors of the Unione Cinematografica Italiana. Si- gnors Ambrosia and Carlucci, to i'm personate the title role of "Theodora" in the big spectacular production which the U. c. I. has just completed and which Goldwyn has secured for the United States. This is the first big Italian picture made since the War, and it's presentation has aroused the greatest possible interest among leading American screen producers and exhibitors, for the reason that Goldwyn has already announced an arrangement whereby all these big Italian spectacles of the Unione Cine matografica Italiana will be presented in this country under his direction and management.

While the police, sheriff's forces, pri-

been paid. This he refused to do.
IF you cannot take my word for it,
he said, 1--WE will withdraw from the
