Ibanez-A Scenario Writer.

" BLASCO IBANEZ. the celebrated
W Spanish author and playwright,
whose story, THE Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse" achieved phenomenal
popularity during the World War,
has apparently discarded the novel
istic form and now is writing in
terms of the photoplay.
1t is barely possible that Ibanez'
dessrtion of the novel in favor of the
scenario may have been brought
about by his persistent campaign
against the King of Spain, who has
been made the target of a terrific on
slaught by Ibanez, who unhampered
in the security of Paris and New
York, has openly demanded that his
archy and Alfonso, and come out for
a republic.
Whatever the reason, IbaneZ seems
to be giving definite notice that the
business of writing a scenario is in
finitely more pleasant and convenient
than the business of writing a novel
The latter requires not less than a
year of concentrated, brain-racking
effort, while a scenario, assuming that
the writer already has the story "in
his head" can be put together in a
day or two with but little, II any,
verbal polishing at all.
A new Ibanez story, Argentine
Love-" which comes to Washington
this afternoon. is the second original
story that the noted novelist has
written for the screen. The first was

Milestones In a Life.

ished floor after the snow we felt
light as birds.
THE dressing room we used was q
long, bare place, with stone floors and
torches set in iron sconces along the
walls. The windows were tall, mar
row things, like Sits. barred with
iron. We were cold all the time-un
til we started to dance, and then we
were kept warm enough, l can tell
you.
MY next dressing room-and this
time IT really was a dressing room.
since IT had been used by some ia
nous players-was in the theater i'll
Warsaw. l made my first profess
sional debut there September l, 1872.
My room was so feet above the stage,
and was reached by a narrow stair
way, which twisted and turned UP
along sheer brick wall. At inter
walls there were little platforms occu-
pied by the men who controlled the
scenery ropes. One place, about 10
feet below my doorway. the banistcr
was broken. l remember I always
shrank away from the place, because
/ had a premonition that some time
I would be siezed with dizziness and
fall through the opening.
The room was only a few feet
square. The walls We're of brick and
som over the door. II was lighted by
a single gas jet. 1t was always warm.
| because the hot air from the theater
! banked along the roof Of the building
! and heated my room.
After l left Warsaw / had 4 great
many dressing rooms. Some were
large, some small. Many We're un-
comfortable, cold and none too clean.
Some were quite nice. The worst was
one which was put up for me in the
Bavarian Mountains, while I was en-
gagged in making THE Mountain Cat"
with Ernst Lubitsch. 1t was just a
canvas tent on the side of a hill. Ii
was in the Winter time and snow lay
deeply banked everywhere. The whole
company lived in tents. but / was the
only one who had a stove. AS a re
suit my dressing room was always
crowded with shivering members of
the company. I didn't mind that at
all, but they always left their boots
behind to dry. Sometimes 1 had as
many as 100 pairs of wet boots hang
| ing in lines and steaming inside my
tent. The Mountain Cat" was com
edy, but it wasn't funny enough To
keep us in a good humor under such
conditions.

my life is milestoned by dressing
rooms 1 have used" declares
Pola Negri, the much discussed Polish
screen star.
when 1 look about my present
dressing room in the Paramount
studio in Hollywood and realize its
comfort and careful arrangements
for practicability, my mind goes
back to some of those I used-or
shared-in the old days.
Recently. in making scenes for
East of Suez,' the script required
me to take a sudden plunge through
rice-paper windows of a Chinese
houseboat into river. I took the
plunge and the water was ice-cold.
but in less than so seconds from the
time 1 struck the water, was in my
dressing room, close to a comfortable
fire and feeling only pleasant glow
as result of the dip.
That affair brought back to my
mind the arrangements-or rather
lack of arrangements-whe ] took
a plunge into a river once in Europe.
My dressing room on the shore-it
was Winter time and cold-was a
hastily constructed shanty made of
piano cases and tin tea chests. The
horse ! rode into the stream threw
me, kicked me into Inconsistencies
and left me to drown while it scram-
bled back to the shore.
II was rescued by a farmer-since
none of my company was able to
swim-and carried to a hospital five
miles away, where / recovered con-
seriousness IL hours later. We re-
took the scene the next day, but the
horse I used was one which had been
trained to swim the river.
My first dressing room was in
Leningrad, lately called Petrograd
and once-how long ago it seems
ST. Petersburgi
II doubt If my status at that time
entities me to call it a dressing room.
Rather 1t was q community chamber
where we girls of the Russian ballet
prepared for our days work. I was
learning to dance under the strictest
taskmasters in the world. Often we
danced for an hour in three feet of
snow to give our limbs grace and
strength. 1t was a system>of train
ing modelled upon the old Roman idea
which. supplied the legions with
swords three times the weight of
those actually required in battle. Ac-
customed to use these heavy weapons
in training, the Romans found their
service swords like feathers in their
hands. When we danced on a poll
