principal characters. This has been
since the powerful figure of Maciste
was seen in "Cabiria," and it has

The character if Gorgia, the En-

Gorgia plays a considerable part
in the story. though the horrors of

One of the most dramatic scenes in
the production is Supplied when the
empress stabs Marcellus, friend and
co-conspirator with her lover, so that
he may not be forced by the torture
chamber to reveal the identity OF
his companion.
The other scene follows later in the
picture after Theodore has heard a
man denounce her from the galleries
Of the hippodrome, and has demanded
his head for Il insult. AS the man
pie she discovers that she has un-
knowingly sealed the doom of her
sweetheart. 1t is the nthat Gorgia
again appears on the scene, and An

A Career Worth While.

CILDA vARESI in Enter Madame

splendid record of achievement both
abroad and in this country.
Mr.. Stephenson, by birth a Northum-
berland man, made his first stage ap-
pearances in the company of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kendall. He parted with them
to join Charles Hawtrey's company
in London, and in 1901, as a member
of Hawtrey's Message. from Mars"
company, paid his first visit to the
United States.
In all. Stephenson remained eight
years with Hawtrey, playing with
him both here and in England. After
a few months with Weldon Grossmith
at home he allied himself with Frank
Curzon. who at the time was pro-
ducing various of the r. c. Carton
plays. In one of these, ''Mr. Hopkin-
son." Mr.. Stephenson returned to the
United States and remained two
years. Returning to London he was
again associated with Hawtrey for a
brief time.
In 1909 Stephenson came to this
country once more and has played
here steadily ever since. Two years

Ray Not a Rube.

CTARs Of the stage and of the screen
- are popularly supposed to achieve
their greatest successes in roles that
reflect their own personalities and their
native environment.
Much has been written and moro said
to create the impression that Charles
Ray is himself as he seems on the
silver sheet-a diffident. almost naive
young fellow, without many Of the So
cial graces, and most at home in the
rustic dramas that afford him oppor-
tunity to don aannel shirt. baggy
breeches. an old straw hat and to alb
lure shoes. His successes in plays like
'.The Old Swimmin' Hole and Peace.
full Valley" are cited as corroborative
proof that Ray is at heart ''rube."
or he couldn't impersonate the rube
character so well.
His recent visit to Washington gave
a few in the motion picture industry
occasion to observe that, as a matter
of fact, Charles Ray is not at all
"rubey." On the contrary, he is quite
a sophisticated urbanite.
Taller actually than he appears in
pictures, dressed in the heigth of fash
ion and punctilious almost to the point
Of affectation in the cnoice Of words
and enunciation, the gifted young actor
director conveys a personal impression
to those he meets that the simple pas
toral life with which his name is in
delibly linked are perfect strangers, ex-
cept in his screen art.
In place of the bashful hesitancy tilat
prompts seclusion from the crowds, Mr..
Ray confronts one with a somewhat
assertiye self-esteem that seeks rather
to evade boredom than elude admira-
ton. -.
His pictures have not done him social
justice.
