PATRICIA

TT CAN truthfully be stated, with
out fear of punning, that Patricia
Is a patrician name. 1t signifies
noble" and comes from the Latin
r-father-which was the source
of "patria," the "fatherland."
The patricli were the privileged
class Of Rome since It's members were
descended from the original thirty
fathers. or patres. Patricus, meaning
the noble was the title given TO the
young Roman-British CalpurniUs who
was stolen by Irish pirates in his
youth and, when ransomed, returned
as an apostle to the land o; his cap
tors. bringing the name of Patrick.
which Is so popular and so revered In
Ireland, in memory Of the patron
saint.
Patricia Is n Scottish invention, ac-
cording to etymologists. The name
made It's appearance there as the
feminine of the masculine Patie
which was the Scotch form of Pat
rick. Though Patricia spread to Eng.
hnd and won great popularity there
and later found vogue in ireland, no
attempt has ever been made 10 change
It's form or spelling.
Patty, which is often thought to be
the diminutive Of Patricia, has no
relation whatever TO the noble name.
Ii Is the diminutlve Of Mary, in its
rightful sense, and means becoming
bitter"

For Permanent immigration Limitation

Passage of permanent restrictive
immigration legislation is on the pro-
gram for next winters session Of con-
gress. Representative Johnson Of
Washington, chairman of the house
committee on immigration, believes
that the United States never will re-
turn to the wide open door policy pre-
vailing prior to the passage Of the
present temporary per cent restric.

Johnson at next winters session
expects to press bill, which he in
troduced before the adjournment Of
the house, revising the present law so
as to give all countries a base quota
of COO plus per cent Of the number
Of aliens from that particular country
in the United States as shown by the
census of 1910. HIS bill also contains
other new features, including a re-
quirement that aliens coming into the
United States shall obtain n certificate

Ghe Friendly Path

The same rule applies all along the
path Of life. Just as one is likely to
meet disappointment If he depends on
q lift by the road is he almost certain
to md his progress tagging If he waits
for his fellowmen TO shove him ahead.
Those who become disgruntled with
their lot usually need to remember
that their own Indifference, inaction or
the over-estimation Of their proper
sphere, are the greatest stumbling
blocks in their paths.
II one helps himself a little, the
world will always help him more.

Dennis King and ShaW.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW as a
~ writer Of screen drama may sound
ridiculous to admirers of the famous
English author and cynic, and yet it
seems likely to come to pass, and that
very soon.
Dennis King of the Garrick Players
makes the prediction. This popular
young actor Of juvenile roles is an
intimate friend of Shaw's and has ap-
peared in a score Of his plays.
"I had the pleasure of appearing in
Shaw's last production, Back to
Methusaleh," says Mr.. King, and
know that much as Shaw cherished
that play and was insistent that 1t
could not be cut to adapt itself for
American presentation, he finally re-
luctantly consented, when he under
stood the difficulty the Theater Guild
had in adapting 1t to come within the
confines of an average theater even-
ing.
"Shaw has the stubbornness of
genius, but he also has the logic of a
rare mentality. He yielded what he
considered a vital point when he saw
that it was essential for proper
presentation of his drama here. !

The Art of Listening:

"DERHAPs one of the most ardu-
Gus and trying tasks of dra-
matte artistic is to be a good listener
says Frances Starr, whom David Be
lasco will present here in Shore
Leave this week. For acting'with-
out the important art of listening
would be a very tawdry gift. which
with a pair of good lungs
and a faculty for making grimaces
might easily develop.
IF it were possible to eliminate the
necessity of listening, with ones ears
and eyes and every nerve of the body,
to every syllable of the dialogue that
is being spoken on the stage-in 9TH
er words, to avoid this first and most
important factor in the air Of acting
then one should have, indeed, dis
covered the royal road to success as
an actor or actress But this royal
road does not exist. because there is
no such thing as real acting with
out listening.
ITO the man or woman whose work
it is to conscientiously interpret the
drama, the art of acting is infinitely
more than a matter of masque and

however pregnant with music and

to portray intense emotiOnalism. 1t
consists of something much more sub
tie than minicry of the face and voice
of the character under Interpretation.
ITO play a part with any degree of
adequacy it is absolutely necessary
that the actress playing the role shall
never for a moment allow herself to
be lost in abstraction, for she must
listen with every nerve, and when l
say listen I mean actually that. She
must train herself to listen with. as
much real interest in the dialogue. of
heart, as if she had not only never
which she knows every syllable by

concerned her own destiny.
ut is absolutely necessary for me
to listen to the dialogue at every per-
formance as IL it were new to me. for
if l betrayed the slightest lapse of in
terest it would serve to nullify the
action and thus the hold on the au-
dience's sympathy might easily be
lost.
Anybody can listen, it is true. but
one must not forget how fearfully te-
dious and what an intense strain it is
upon the mind to listen continuously
to something which one knows by
heart There is. perhaps, no more

lake. on a point that extends some
distance into the sky-blue Of that
glorious body Of water and not far
from the main highway, which is the
direct route for motorists going to
Montreal, is located the summer home
of Frances Starr.
1t is isolated from the gaze of
curious eyes. shut off by the ma
jestic trees Of a dense woodland. in
a wonderful country. where all is
quiet and peaceful, an ideal spot for
complete rest and solitude.
On this beautiful point, in charm :

Simplicity is in the air. in the house,
everywhere about, Indicative of the
outdoor life that brings contentment
neighbor. 1t is small wonder that
this beautiful spot won the heart OF
Miss Starr. Here every summer, after
an arduous season, she gives way to
the full enjoyment Of the place, happy
in being close to nature, which she
loves.
Canoeing, fishing, swimming. riding
and motoring are pastimes which she
enjoys there, and golf. too, for there
liz q fine course within two miles OF
the house. SO her days are occupied
with leading the simple and out-of-
door existence.
The colonial house is of two stories,
much longer than wide, with roomy
veranda on three sides, each of which
commands an unobstructed view OF
the lake. The living room is the full
length of the house, with long glass
windows extending to the floor, max
ing wide openings that may be used
instead Of the doorways for reaching
the surrounding veranda and. even
when closed. permit Of a clear view
Of the lake. A wide fireplace, made
of stones, 10 a cheerful feature of
the living room, with old-fashioned
andirons for supporting big pine logs,
which throw q warm glow over the
room as they burn on a chilly even

Back of the living room, on one
corner Of the rear of the house, is
the library, with shelves Of the latest
books and standard works of fiction.
Adjoining the library are the butler s
pantry and the kitchen. On the floor
above are eight bedrooms, four in the
front of the house with view OF
the lake, the other four looking out
on the woods in the rear.
Except in inclement weather, q

lake, q short distance from the house
