O Course No Girl Will

Any young woman VINO has figured

her ambition merely by going to Los

motion picture actress
deal has been snid about the
climate in and around Los Angeles, but
little has been heard Of the remarkably
high average of good looks among the
feminine workers in the marts Of trade
thereabouts. But Los Angeles leads
the league when It comes to the charms
Of tho living scenery with which the
business of eating sandwiches and alp
ping ice cream is surrounded. May be
the reason that Californians haven't
mentioned this interesting fact too
loudly is because the scenery is not
a native product. II has been imported

Mrs. Lulu Andrews, matron at the
Goldwyn studios in Culver City for
the last three years, emphasized this
hitherto unsung attribute Of the motion
picture metropolis during the course OF
an informal lecture on girls who are
in motion pictures and girls who want
to be in motion pictures but aren't
Said Mrs. Andrews, who ought to know:
There are more pretty girls working
as Mattresses in restaurants and at
coda fountains in Los Angeles than in
any other city in the country Most
of them came here with the expectation
OF a career before the camera. They
bucked the extra game at first, but
coon found they were lucky to
average two or three working days a
week. True, the daily pay for extra
work is $3.50. But the days are 50 few
and far between that the girls haze

o. P. Heggie Is not only a clever
actor, he is consderatc one.
Having seen him half dozen times
In Happy Go Lucky last season, we
were on hand bright and early to hear
"The Truth About Blayds," the A. A.
Milne piece, in which Heggic plays the
ninety-year-ol Blsyds, and then a con-
scientious manager arranged an. inter
view right after the first act, since at
that point Mr.. Blayds dies and Mr..
Heggie may take off his makeup and go
home or any place he chooses after
that. Here is where the consideration
Of Mr.. Hcggie became the very sub
limation Of tact. "Oh, you'll miss the
second act" he said, gently urging the
interviewer out Of tho dressing room.
Come any time you like, and I'll ar
range to be here, but don't miss tho
play. think you'll enjoy It,"
Some Ideas That
Are Worth Recording
Later In the week we talked to him
for an hour and at the end Of that
time he said: Don't quote me, please
Nobody cares what an actor says, any
way" But 1t depends, Of course, on the
actor, and some of the things that Mr.
Heggie said must be told.
In the first place, he has an idea
for big conservatory of acting. The
instructors are to be the veteran actors
and actresses Of the stage, who are
now resting from their labors and
wearing their wcll-earned laurels.
"There are traditions surrounding
many plays and If they are not learned
now by the younger actors, who can in
turn hand them down, they will be
lost forever. One must learn how to
act just as one must learn to play the
violin or to dance, or to do anything
else worth while, and who arc better
fitted to teach than the great artists of
the stage, who have retired from public
lifc7 This thing interests me greatly,
and some day soon intend to do some
thing moro than just talk about it,
Mr.. Heggie has been on the stage for
twenty-five years. Before that he
studied to be grand opera singer. He
was born in Australia and made his
stage debut there, but he left Aus
tralia and went to England, because he
could not advance as rapidly as he
wished in his native land. Nowhere In
the world Is 1t more truly said that a
prophet is without honor in his own
country, according to Mr.. Hcggie.

PARIS, March IL.

PARIS, March IL.
"Cherie" ("DearieU, q three-act
drama at the Theatre Michel, Is the
typical story Of love psychology which
Parisians like so well and flock to see.
1t is drawn from the novel Of the same
name by "Madame Colette," whose
famo as novelist and playwright
overshadows her recent marriage to
Senator de Jouvcnel, owner oG the
Paris newspaper "Le Matin."
"Dearie" is not little Partisan bali
Of fluff, as the title might indicate.
"Dearie" IS twenty-five and male, tho
son Of courtesan mother. He Is,
however, loved and mothered by Lea.
a woman Of fifty, a veteran Of Mont
martre. The struggle for the afec-
tions Of this "child of loose atmos-
phere" among Lea, his mother and
Edmee, young and not-altoge thcr-bad
bud, whom he marries, is study Of
the psychology of immortality {sic).
Edmee's youth holds her husband
despite an hereditary wildness that
influences him. The true mother
lapscs back into Indifference. Lea
broken hearted-succumbs to the
reality that age Is no match for youth,
and faces the inevitable to grow older
as gracefully as possible
An unusual play Of tho season In
Paris is "Banco," a new and paradox
ical situation by Alfred Savoir at the
Potiniere Theatre. "Banco" is a gam
bling term familiarly known to those
who frequent Monte Carlo or the ca
sfnos of the Riviera. Fieuratively.
it translates "Take ALL" and has be-
come famous word in tho play of
baccara, when as much as million
francs has changed hands on the turn
of four little cards. Savoir presents
the young Count Alexandra Lussac in
a gamble Of "Take ALL" both in the
gaming room and in life. The count
is married to Charlotte, an attractive
woman of his social stratum. The scene
opens in a casino of the south, where
Charlotte has waited for eighty hours
outside the bacarra room for her PAM
bling husband. She finally leaves on
the arm of the sympathetic Baron
Delignieres, whom she later marries
after divorce. Alexandra quits gam
bling and determines to work toward
the stage, where he can cry "Banco" In
a gamble for his former wife. He be-
comes famous aviator. Just before
an attempt to fly the Atlantic he de-
cides to take the gamble against the
baron. AS q 1use he drives his auto
into lake on the baron's estate and
goes to the chateau for help. As the
baron has never seen him, he is well
coined under another name and asked
to spend the night. He makes his wav
to his former wife's room and insists
on her flight with him. She repulses
him, horrited. Here the baron inter
feres with the scene by entering it
The wife pleads with him to remain
and play cards, while Count Alexandra
hides behind a curtain. The play is
on, fguratively and literally, the cards
are dealt and the count has announced

building on the estate. As The baron
rushes out, Alexandra rushes back and
locks the boudoir door behind him
At this point there is extremely good
acting at the Theatre Potiniers. Count
Alexandra dulles Berry, faces Char
lotte (Mllc Lyses) In the true Latin
spirit. In Paris it is not too much to
say that he would wipe the baron off
the slate, marriage which no rcfuscs
to recognize.
"Divorce means nothing in my re-
ligion. Once married always So" he
tells Charlotte, in effect. "Hcre I am
and here intend to stay. Banco!"

The Holy Land Is Now
Hollywood's ONLY Rival

A cable dispatch received this week
from Jerusalem announces the arrival
Of an American motion picture expedi-
tion to prepare for the filming of a huge
spectacle based upon the Old Testa-
ment story Of King David. One Of the
big scenes in the production will be tho
fight between David and Goliath, which
will be staged few miles north of
Jerusalem. Many thousand inhabitants
of Jerusalem are to be employed in
filming the play. One thousand camols
and thousands Of sheep and goats will
also be used
This will be the first time that pro-
duction OF any magnitude has been
filmed in the Holy Land, which, aside
from its appropriateness as a back
ground Tor Biblical stories, Is said to
rival Hollywood for natural beauty and
for the clarity Of its atmosphere.

Many Features Planned for
New YOrk's Music Week

One common fnterest--music-w
for seven days. engage the attention,
enlist the interest, stir the hearts and
the emotions Of hundreds of thousands
Of New Workers, even millions, a little
over month from now. New York ia
TO have a Music Woek, April 30 to May
6. II is in active preparation, with
many Of It's outstanding features al
ready planned. In one way ard an
other, in the FIVE borouchs and within
u radius Of thirty-fve miles of adioin-
ing suburban territory, not far from
three to four million people will actu-
ally take part in 1t as performers or
spectators.
New York's Music Week, 1922, will be
one great, unonding chain for seven
days, from Sunday morning to the fol-
lowing Saturday night, OF musical hap
penings Of every nature. Financed by
popular subscription, it has a general
committee at its head, supported by an
advisory board of musicians and a
group os patrons and patronesses, to-
gether with over forty special commit
tees made up of city officials, business
men, club women, musical artists, cler-
gvmcn, actors, men of affairs, organ
lists, theater and movie house mana
social workers. The musical events
will range from concerts and big musi-
cal entertainments given in the ar
mories to private recitals in homes and
little programs in institutions and in
settlement houses. Hundreds of musi-
clans have volunteered, and a special
committee will be on call from now on
and throught the week to provide pro-
grams free wherever they may be
wanted. Even the big stores and fac
tories are to be in line
Much is still to come and be ar
ranged in the way of detailed plans,
but great deal has already been de-
termined upon. Sunday morning the
week Will open with special sermons on
music and special musical services in
the churches. Not only are the city
churches to respond to the suggestion
that has been made, but the suburban
churches will do an equal part. At
o'clock Sunday afternoon bells and
chimes will sound everywhere, from
every church tower, and it is suggested
that q. that hour as many other bells
as possible shall be rung everywhere in
New York.
A poster has been designed by Karel
Knauf. 1t depicts Music, in flowing
lobes and with wings and Tyre, stand
az at the City Gate of New York. The
u dnrs 1T the Battery are behind her,
and the SKY behind her is a mass Of
gold. At her feet, typifying the ma
tional message Of music, is spread out
the American Eagle.
The public schools are to play &
leading role in Music Week, and every
child in the city will be participant.
Children in all grades all over the city
are to compete for the best essay on
Music, and the prize will be Grove s
Dictionary Of Music" All the school
orchestras are to battle for pre-emi-
nence, the winning orchestra to receive
Q money prize, which will be used to
buy instruments for that orchestra
Some one day during the week every
New-York tribune., 1922-04-02

public school will have a special Music
program.
The women's clubs of the city arc to
bs close behind the schools in Music
Weeks observance. From their own
resources they will provide special in
dividual programs, and at the annual
meeting Of the New York City Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs, which takes
place on May 8, Music Week program
is to be the central feature. The Fed
Grafton of Temple Sistcrhoods will
present on the occasion of its annual
meeting on May 4 q program Of an
cient Hebrew music.
Through the Rotary Club Of New
York the boys clubs Of the city are to
be given musical entertainments at
each of the twenty boys' club houses.
Tho parochial schools will give con-
certs and will have essays on music
written. Very nearly every church or
ganist in New York City will give one
or more Music Week concerts, and spe-
cial programs will be featured at the
motion picture houses.
The story Of what will be done Is but
begun. The city departments are plan
ming great musical enterta inmcnts of
their own, to be given by their own
musical organizations. These will be
held In the armories, for themselves
and their families and friends, with as
many of the general public admitted to
each as possible. The Street Cleaning
Department has two of these events
scheduled, one in a New York armory,
the other in a Brooklyn armory, and
the Police and Fire departments have
equally big affairs in preparation.
The Inter Racial Council has ap-
pointed a Music Week committee and
Will spread the message widely and
| thoroughly through all the foreign
| quarters. The Caruso American Memo
ial Foundation also has named Music
| Week committee and will stage events
| in Caruso's name. The Salvation Army,
whose work, as General Booth once
stated, is sc per cent music, will give
| at its different headquarters seventy
! FIVE concerts Of its own musical organi-
cations.
| 1t is expected that there will be many
| private Music Week recitals in the
| great homes of the city. The Doy and
| girl students In the music school set
| Elements of the city will be busy the
entire week giving music programs in
| the many settlement houses Of each
| borough. The Y. NJ. C. A. announces
special concerts and lectures on music,
and the Y. w. C. A, in addition to
many programs in its various branches
! during the week, is to have big spring
concert as its special tribute and con-
tribution
A large committee has been appoint
ed for the supplying of artists for
whoever may ask for them, and the de-
rnand promises to be large. 1t is hoped
70 stage a concert or recital in every
enc of the philanthropic institutions of
the city. Organizations throughout
New York are being requested to give
musical entertainments and lectures.
There will be no shortage of talent for
them.
