she came up from Corsica. She had
an idea. however, that she wanted To

country. Irene. however. played

him for a position. When he saw her

parents he would give her a chance.
The salary would be low. to be sure

Thus she began her career. 1t was
the same old story of an actress in q

whereupon Bordoni stepped into the
character. and, doing il so well. her
salary was boosted to $50 per month.
1t was then she really started in 70
work toward the real ambition of her
life. With the money that she earned
she took course at the Paris Con-
servatoire. studied hard and soon es-

The scouts who We're looking for

FOR years 1t was popularity believed
by the unsophisticated in this
country that Spanish girls, when
they attended parties. were in the
habit Of kicking the chandeliers, and
that French damsels took off their
slippers and filled them with cham
payne for the men to drink.
This belief is being overcome. but
it dies hard. just like William Jen-
nings Bryan's political ambitions.
Nevertheless. there is still 4 linEer-
ing idea that the French actress is
just a little-well. just 4 Httle-dif-
fefent In her department from her

Somehow or other we in this coun-
try do not like to be undeceived. An
Idea once established continues. no
matter what proof Is brought forward
to the contrary. Whenever an actress
from gay Paree' is announced the
dear public closes its eyes. breathes
hard and says 'Ah!'
When Irene Bordoni, who is just as
French as The Marsellaise," came
over here some years ago she was not
a sensation. No reigning monarch
had presented her with a necklace of
diamonds nor did she demand a COM
pensation of $1,000 a night. When

It was not SO easy at first, because
she spoke no English at all, and
when she appeared in one of the
Winter Garden shows she was only
a mild success. She quickly learned
to speak the language. however. and
it was not so very long before she
became a Broadway favorite.
In the first place. Bordoni had tai
