That unique something which
Frenchwoman is known to possess
where clothes are concerned caused
Jetta Goudal a little difficulty in the
costuming of her part in "Salome OF
the Tenements'. a Sidney Olcott pro-
duction for Paramount.

ter of the New York Ghetto in this
picture, went downtown to 18th
Street, Manhattan, where she pur-
chased a CSC hat, a IS suit and pair
of shoes for $3.50. With these bar
gains Miss Goudal felt that she could
properly portray the shabbily clad
East Side girl who yearns for beauty
and abhors her squalid surroundings.
However. when she appeared on
the set depicting her tenement
room, dressed in the sS.67 outfit. Di-
rector Olcott shook his head in dis
approval.
With sigh Of disappointment.
Miss Goudal went to her dressing
room and worked deliberately for an
hour to look poor. Imagine a French
woman doing that! The movies have
strange powers.

wen from the novel by Anzia YeZ-

There never was a larger crowd
at dance in Union hall. that is a
safe bet, than that which damned the
place Tuesday evening when the To-
cal telephone girls gave dancing

the least. st. Patricks Day favors
were much in evidence, including
Shamrocks for the buttonhole, whis-
ties to blow and clackers to clack.
Right after the favors were given
out, Union hall added another rec
ord to its list, that of being the
noisiest place on Water street. But
in spite of the crowding and the
pushing and the jumbling and the
hub bub, everybody was happy and
everybody had tip-top time.
With modern day dances and with
square dances. favor dances and
ring-around -a-roSy dances, there
was variety to suit everyone. The
Douglas Melody Men were in their
prime and their music couldn't be
surpassed.
The patrons and patronesses of the
evening were Thomas c. Stone. dis
trict manager, Mrs. Stone, William T..
+ lckelt. WIRE chlef, ana Mrs. flick
cit. Music for the evenings pro-
gram of dances was furnished by

leader had charge of the dance ar
ranSements. The music was excel
lent.

Dances Sans Men a
Bore to German Women

Berlin. Feb. 2S-(A. P. by MaiD-
This years ball Of Berlins women
artists marked an important depart
ure from tradition Of 80 years.
While formerly it was a festive oc-
casion for women only. the mere
male was this year not only invited.
but fairly wooed.
When the women artists Of the
German capital started out in 1895 to
arrange an annual costume party,
they hit upon the novel idea Of limit
ing it to members Of the fair sex
This meant that all women with
1.-the. graceful figure dressed as men
and as such became the dancing
partners for the others. The ball en-
joyed great popularity among the
suffragettes, who pointed out that
women were not condemned to wait
modestly until some male dancer
asked them to have turn on the
floor. but anybody in female attire
could unblushingly ask anybody in
male garb to dance.
But when the ball was revived for
the first time after the war, a year
ago. 1t was found that the modern
woman no longer cares to come to a
ball OF spinsters. Therefore 1t was
decided to invite men this year.
