 But ill-luck stalked the General. With revolution rushed in personal disaster. His family, which traced its lineage back to 1908, was warmly beloved by the late Czar Nicholas. When the Romanoff throne was hacked to shreds, the new in- surgent government seized the Volotskoy plants, and the proud general saw his wealth and position crumble. From Pet rograd to New York and minor, though important, job as the burgomaster in the Reinhardt production, was slow step, but one which Volotskoy was forced to take.
 A similar destiny was that of Captain Boris Sergievsky. Once he was the head of Russian army aviation corps. Once his coat glistened with medals-the St. George Cross and other jeweled insignia. For the captain, who also served with the British Royal Air Forces, did valiant deeds during the World War. Civil strife in Russia found him actively engaged, and later he became flying instructor in Eng land, where he remained till the lure of America got into his blood.

A FLOCK of "fallen angels" sweeping "A down on Broadway--that's a sight
 which might well halt the traffic cops whistles at their lips and paralyze the pedestrians with wonder.
 Yet nothing of the sort occurred re- gently when New York City fell heir to a band of such ''angels," for the simple reason that most of New York City was utterly unaware of the visitation.
 They weren't the kind of celestial, winged being which you. can read about in Milton and Shakespeafe. But it really isn't any exaggeratioh to call them "Eu- ropes fallen angels" for till the World War stripped them of riches and social important figures abroad than these men and women who later eked out an un- luxurious existence as "extras" in great American theatrical spectacle.
 The dramatic market price for person. ages of rank and title, you might think, would be steep. In the old days when a duchess in reduced circumstanees" signed on the dotted line with some vaudeville producer her salary demands were sky high. If a count joined musical comedy as an "extra special attraction" he ex- pected weekly envelope far in excess of chorus mans, though the talents of the two might be on par.
 But nowadays---l Seven dollars g head is considered fair price for beau tiful women and imposing men whose heads were once adorned with regal or naments, but who now display, instead, paste jewels which look like a million across the footlights and aren't worth their weight in tin.
 If it hadn't been for the arrival on these shores of the Princess Agatha Pennesco, Q Rumanian notable, the secret of the latest group of "fallen angels" might never have been uneartnsd.

and hair-raising escapes from the Bolshe. vists, the General maintained congenial whole -heartedness during the run of "The Miracle" which made him esteemed by all his fellow-workers.
 That's the most extraordinary part of 1t, said Morris Gest of his band of 1'fallen angels" "Kind hearts may be more than coronets, but let me tell you that some times the two go together. You couldn't find more democratic crowd of people or harder workers-than the generals. dukes and princesses on my extra list.

nanian senator, she made a trip to the United States two years ago. With her own beloved country flayed and bloodied by the war, she came here to replenish her purse by Recurring in French-an easy job for her, since she speaks half a dozen languages nuently.
 During the war the Princess had been chairwoTnan of the Rumanian Red Cross, and, incidentally, q close friend of Queen Marie. Her great pas sion was to see her native land economic ally rebuilt, but hel patriotism was ham pered by personal pYi- yations, despite the fact that her husband, Constantin Pennesco, was a whip of the Liberal party and hailed as a, probable Cabinet member.
 The Princess, dis carding her title, arr rived in America sim. ply as "Madanae Pal eologue." She found this country delight full. The result was a second trip last Fall, just at the time when Morris Gest, the the atrical i'm pr esario, was assembling the

 Discovery of the Princess Pen nesco in the surging crowds of the Fl spectacle led to the surmise that, in " that array of whirling figures, there might be hidden other foreign celeb rites, whose stars of fortune had En been dimmed by the war and who th were mixing with the $7-a-head mob for obvious reasons.
 Quiet inquiries were made-and start ling disclosures followed. It was found that one of the most arrestingly beautiful of the unprogrammed maidens was in reality the Princess Manuella Soutzo, whose throbbing soprano lent lustre to certain chants. A granddaughter of the Prince of Valachio, a Rumanian province, had decided to discard her title.
 Faced by the problem of carving a career for herself and also of warding off the imminent wolf, she appeared briefly on the Rumanian stage, got a stop-gap movie job in Paris, and-longed for new lands to conquer. America beckoned, so the Princess took ship and joined cousin of hers in New York.
 There opportunity, of a sort, knocked at her door. Was not the "kolossal" Rein hardt in the city, and was he not eager to sign up a handsome ingenue with a trained voice? So in time the Princess Soutzo found herself, white-robed and grave-faced, intoning litanies against the Gothic arches of "The Miracle"

necially true during the summer ard
