This is said to be a high powered

that hurled her into worldwide fame.
The star herself has declared that
Mad Love" and Passion" are her

The scope for acting in Mad Love-

that he is not native actor. Mr..
Ditrichstein is a Hungarian and was
born and educated in Vienna. Nor do
many people know it was an operate
and not dramatic career that Mr..
Ditrichstein first embraced in his
native land. He sang comic opera
roles for several years in the Aus

Upon reaching New York he be-

and decided to master the language

After an English teacher had tu-

Wherever Safety Last" Harold
Lloyd's latest feature comedy for
Pathe is shown, it unquestionably
will win the applause of the entire au-
dience. But even the most enthusi-
astic applause can't compare with the
cheering Of the crowd that will wit
ness the filming of the climb in
Safety Last" at the Bijou theater,
starting Tuesday.
Somehow the news got about that
the famous comedian was to use the
Bank of Italy building at the corner
of First and Spring streets in Los
Angeles to film a scene for one of his
forthcoming productions Three hours
before the comedian arrived the
tall building were corwed with ad-
mirers of the star. When Harold APP
peared on the scene he was noisily
welcomed, and as the directors and
cameramen made their preparations
the crowd settled down, expecting to
see the filming of a comic street
scene.
They saw. instead, one of the most
daring stunts ever performed for the
camera. AS Harold continued his
climb the huge audience showed it's
appreciation by GREATNESS interest,
applauding now and then at some es-
pecially reckless performance by the
star but. on the whole, watching the
comedian in tense admiration.
When the climb was finally COM
pleted the crowd relaxed into veri-
table ovation. and the gratifying dem
onstration when Harold stepped into
HIS car to leave, surely must have
been some compensation for the long
hours Of tedious training necessary to
perform the clever feats in Safety

FIVE BAD COLLINS

0NCE in garden, long, long ago,
there grew rose bush, and in
those days. SO the fairies say, the rose
bush had no thorn to prick fingers.
And the fairies say it never would
have had thorns IL something had not
happened which made it necessary for
the protection of the little fairies that
every pretty rose bush should have
thorns.
In this long-ago garden one night
five dainty little fairies, after they had
finished their work tinting the flowers,
crept into the half-opened buds of Ave
roses and went to sleep.
They did not intend to sleep very
long. just long enough to rest before
joining their sister fairies and their
Queen in the dell for midnight frolic.
But the little fairies were tired and
they did not wake up at the magic
hour when all the little magic folk
are abroad.
Out Of their rocky doorways at the
midnight hour tumbled all the gobs
Inns, bent on mischief as they always
are, and five Of them ran out Of the
woods into the road, and, finding a
nice smooth path made by a cart
wheel, those five naughty COLLINS fol-
lowed it.
The wheel path led straight to the
garden, right up to the gate and when

| the rosebuds apart and let the fairies
tumble out.
To each rosebud went a goblin.
First he. took the wand from the Sleep
Ing fairy and tucked it under one arm.
Then he pulled at the rosebud. and
amid the falling rose petals each little
fairy fell out on the ground
The five bad COLLINS jumped and
away they ran before the bewildered
little fairies could pick themselves
up or know just what had happened.
Five little fairies jumped up and
rubbed their sleepy eyes. but 1t was
only second before they discovered
that their wands were gone.
1T was the goblins," said one.
'They must have wandered into the
garden and climbed the rose bush and
carried off our wands."
Look. sisters" said another little
fairy; those bad COLLINS came here
to do mischief. Look at the pretty
flowers that were tinted. Every one
has lost a petal.
"They came to destroy our work
and happened to find us asleep. so
they stole our wands. We must hurry
to the dell and tell the Queen what
has happened"
When the Fairy Queen heard their
story she did not scold. She smiled
and said: "Wait and see what hap
pens. You shall have your wands
this very night, I promise you. Now
run along and join in the dance with
your sisters"
How long the merrymaking Of the
fairies had been going on no one could
tell, but long before daylight streaked
the sky five unhappy looking COLLINS
came slowly into the dell and made
their way to the throne Of the Queen.
Under one arm each held the wand
he had stolen just as he carried 1t
away from the rose bush. They had
not been able to do anything else, for
when they tried to take the wand
from under their arm each goblin
found he could not move it or his arm
either.
All Of their brother COLLINS tugged
and pulled at the wands, trying to
help them. But it was of no use, the
arm and wand could not be moved, SO
they had to come to the Fairy Queen
for help.
Very shamefaced did those I'VE
naughty COLLINS look as they ap-
preached the Queen; they did not have
to tell her why they had come. She
gently touched each arm that held the
wand and down fell the wand and
away scampered those five COLLINS SO
fast that their heels looked like tiny
pebbles tossing up and down.
They did not even thank the Queen.
All they thought of was getting away
from the fairy dell and locking them.
selves in their rocky homes.
But the roses had to be thought of,
now the wands were safe, for the
fairies always used them to sleep in
when they were away from home. So
the Queen that very night started off
in her pearl coach with its white mice
horses, visited all the rose bushes and
placed thorns on every one.
And now you know why the sweet
roses have thorns on their stems-to
keep the COLLINS from disturbing the
fairies If they happen to fall asleer
in a rosy bed. For I am certain you
will agree that once a goblin pricked
his finger with sharp thorn he would
scamper away and never touch a rose
bush again.

the COLLINS reached the end Of the
path they tumbled into the garden.
"Oh," exclaimed one little goblin,
this is flower garden and the tint
ing fairies have been here. Let's spoil
every flower that has been colored.
The Queen will be sure to see it and
scold them"
To every flower they went and
pulled off petal and, Of course, they
came to the rose bush where the five
little fairies were fast asleep.
The goblin that had climbed the
rose bush where he discovered the
sleeping fairies quickly scrambled
down and ran to tell his brothers.
"They are fast asleep and we will
hide their wands," he said.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PORK.B BARREL"

TX7HEN, in the midst Of a
w congressional discussion
upon some measure which en-
tails the expenditure Of large
sums Of money in different parts
Of the country-for example, the
rivers and harbors bill-one
member will denounce the bill
as poorly disguised pork-bar-
rel", the meaning is at once ap-
parent to anyone familiar with
America par FILA fHeHtafy slang,
for it has come to be the accept
.cu eqd1vaIenr OF an attcr1rt
secure public money for private
or semi-private purposes. A
"pork-barreP' measure, there
fore, is one which would enrich
certain districts at the expense
Of the public treasury. either By
providing for costly improve
ments or by spending money un-
necessarily.
To find the genesis Of the
phrase we have to go back to
the earlier days of the republic,
when the majority of the citi-
zens were farmers who, during
the winter, were forced to live
on salt pork. If their supply
was adequate and their barrels
well filed, they said they had no
need to worry about a long,
hard winter-the pork-barrel
would take care of them. In a
similar, but more metaphorical
sense, they now look to their
congressman to take care of
them by securing at least a par
ton Of the "pork-barrel' legis-
lation, which will lead to profits
on labor, land and supplies.
