and her friends believe that this
fact, coupled with her democratic
spirit and her frank and pleasing

We have often wondered how the
freak style of wearing the hear over
the ears got started. and an ex-
change has given the secret. A GER
tain husband got in a row with his
wife and chewed her ear off. She
was an actress, and in order to hide
the bitten ear, wound her hair a
round it, patted it into a nest and
thereby started a new fashion, and
so everybody is doing 1t. Why follow
the style and hide pretty ears be-
cause an actress had a fight with
her spouse and had to cover chew
ed-up ear?-Newton Record.

Effect.

The Pipers of Hunter College. the

tuition. gave another OF their pleasing
and artistic presentations OF the best
plays last night when they produced Ed
mond Rostand's poetic work, THE Far
Away Princess" translated from the
French by an Undergraduate. Isabelle

combined to make this meritorious
performance.
Miss Mlnna Asst played the title role
of Melisande with dignity and grace.
and Helen Luckey also was well cast In
the other principal feminine role. Anna
Michels and. Margaret u. Jones in the
chief masculine parts were unusually
fortunate. for added to their natural
ability was the fact that the visionary
character of the work made the imper-
sonation OF men by girls seem all the
less iricongruous.
The settings, considering the fact that
they were made by the players them
selves, were finely designed. An at
tractive semblance of a boat was pro-
vided for two of the acts, and in the
land scenes draperies were used to good
effect. The scenery was made under
the direction of Miss Elizabeth Vera
Loeb. The costumes We're designed un-
der the supervision of Miss Edna Wells,
art director at the college. The play
ers were capably coached by Miss Hen
rietta Prentiss, professor OF spoken

RUSSIAN ACTRESS HELD
AT ELLIS ISLAND FREE
Nine. Achmatoff Says She
Will Join MoscoU Company.

Upon her statement that she is to
join the Moscow Art Theater which
Morris Gest Is bringing to the United
States, Nine. Pierre Achmatoff yester-
day was released from Ellis Island
where she had been detained as likely
to become a public charge"
Nine. Achmatoff was released in the
Ellis Island and was taken to the
Methodist Immigrant Home. 273 West
Eleventh street. She smilingly acknowl-
edged that 1t was a novel incident in
the life of an actress to be placed upon
the hospitality of a missionary home,
and the immigrant workers on Ellis Is
land had much TO do in getting her
twenty pieces of baggage and furs
packed off on the ferry boat
Explaining her plight, the Russian
woman said:
For two years / played roles with the
Moscow Art Theater. Then the troubles
arose In Russia, and l went to Con-
stantinople. / have lately been giving
performances for the relief funds of the
suffering people OF Russia. I came to
America on the same ship with the cele-
brated tenor, Vyatchaslau Mamonoff.
and it Is my expectation to join again
the Moscow Art Theater which is
booked for a special engagement in
America by Mr.. Gest. I sent my money
TO a family in Brooklyn and that ex-
plains why I landed here with just S.

22 Agencies to
Sell All Theater
Tickets, Is Plan
Managers Adopt Scheme to
Abolish Speculators-50 Cts.
Highest Commission.

The Producing Managers Association
adopted in their offices, 231 West Forty
fifth street. yesterday, a definite plan
for eliminating. or at least curbing. the
operations OF theater ticket Spectators
in the city who gonge the public. The,
scheme is one which was submitted to
the board OF directors by John Mcbride
of McBride's ticket agency. and William
]. Fallon OF Tyson's agency.
The plan of Joseph LEBLANC. operator
of cut rate ticket agency, which was
regarded in some quarters as the one
likely to be accepted. was rejected. The
Mcbride -Eallon proposition was adopted
by majority oc the board and then
accepted by the association. Further
details will be worked out by COM
mittee composed of Sam II. Harris, pres
ident; Edgar Selwyn. Lee Shubert and
A. l.. Erlanger
Ticket agencies in the city will be
limited to twenty-five under the proposal
and their agreements with the theaters
will include the privilege OF returning
unsold tickets BY this agreement they
hope to eliminate the situation which at
present forces some of the agencies to
turn tickets over to spectators in order
to avoid having them left on, their hands.
The agencies will continue selling the
tickets at an advance of fifty cents each
over the box office price
LEBLANC told the producers that he
would establish a central ticket agency
at which he would sell the pasteboards
to the public at an advance of 10 cents
on each.
The twenty-five agencies which would
be permitted to operate under the pro-
posal adopted would be bound by writ
ten agreement to refrain from boosting
any one show. Two violations of this
clause of the contract would result in
loss of the agency franchise by the vio-
lator. The managers Indicated that
when they are ready to launch the new
system they will call upon the public
to cooperate with them by refusing to
purchase tickets from SPECTATORS and
by patronizing the twenty-five author
lied agencies.
Augustus Thomas, executive chairman
of the association, presided. The re-
port of the board of directors asserted
that the ticket speculation problem has
grown beyond the power OF managers
to cope with individually.
Members of the board of directors
present besides Mr.. Thomas were Lee
Shubert, A. l.. Erlanger, Edgar Selwyn.
Sam II. Harris, William A. Brady,
