NEW YORK LEARNS
POLAN EGR| IS SHY
AND NOT bRAZEN
Big Crowds Gather to See
Famous Polish Star Land
in America.

New Workers went down the bay in
tugs TO meet Pola Negri when she
arrived in America a few weeks ago;
they cruised around the Majestic
and waved their welcome. They gath
cred on the White Star line pier; they
chung around the Hotel st. Regis; the
privileged few dined with her at
Sherrys and other places.
Plain fan. picture and stage star;
musician. producer, magnate-they all
gasped. Surprise amounting almost to
pleasant shock was obvious wherever
the famous Polish screen star APP
peared.
Perhaps they all awaited her with
~remembrances of the Pola Negri of
Passion of Gypsy Love- or One
Arabian Night" Possibly those who
went down the bay expected to see
a splash of lurid color brilliantly sill
%,houetted on the deck of the huge
liner: quite likely those at the dock
thought she would dash into their
midst with a vamping eye gazing
hither and thither and susceptible
swans falling to the right and left.
If they did. they were all disap-
pointed; they saw n demure. an almost
shy vamp for the first time.
Not a Bit Theatrical
Pola Negri has that indefinable type
of beauty that is bound up in person
atty. 1t is impossible to tell which you
like the better. After a half hour or
an hour in her presence the stranger
finds himself hopelessly unable to
analyze a series of pleasant impress
sions.
There was a complete absence of
anything theatrical about Miss Negri.
Her clothes were quiet and in ex-
quisite taste. her manne was re-
served. almost shy. She speaks English
only imperfectly, but conversation
with her even through an interpreter
is interesting. She has a dainty toss
of her head, crowned with jet black
hair; her smile Eliminates her whole
face and shows rows of beautiful teeth;
her eyes move expressively, md her
sleIier hands, as they change positions
swiftly, are fascinating. The voice is
extremely soft and musical.

TO Shubert vaudeville-was packed
