STRAND NUGGETS
HAVEA WORLD
OF THEIR OWN

It is scarcely surprising that
the tiny members of Alice in
Toyland" Midgets, appearing at
the Strand this week, should be
confused with children and re-
garded as exempt from the daily
trials and tribulations which be-
set people more literally en-
dowed with stature. Indeed, these
morse1s Of humanity would have
q lot more to contend with than
the people Of normal size were it
not that the management makes
a special provision for their COM
fort in every town in which they
appear.
AS it is. they are surrounded
with retinue as numerous as
that considered fitting for roy
atty. The little people are. in
fact, completely hidden from view
when entering or leaving theaters
or railroad stations by the num-
Der of maids, Wallets and other
attendants that accompany them.
Their own special Pullman car,
fitted luxuriously for their con-
veniences, has the appearance Of
a mammoth dolls house. The
berfhs, seats, washstands and
baths are all proportional to their
size. A special advance man en-
cages hotel apartments for them
3 in every city They carry their
own chef and house. maids, as
one and all they object to having
strangers attend them in their
home. even If 1t is a temporary
one. This might all seem un-
necessary. unless 1t Is realized
that a resort TO the normal In
struments of personal convenience
would destroy all their chances
of comfort, besides keeping them
in a condition Of mind that would
seriously interfere with their
work.

'"Sit down." said Mr.. Warner,
who is one of the Warner Broth
ers, the big film producers, "Lu-
bitsch will be out in q minute.
We've taken him out to show
him Washington today, to make
him better acquainted with the
country. He's, been here little
over two years, and this is his
first visit to Washington. Mr.
Connolly showed us around"
AT this startling information,
the interviewer fell out of his
chair in a dead faint. Mr.. Con-
molly is the towns best shower
around.

want to stay in this country"
continued Mr.. Warner. For
eign producers want him, and
would give anything to get him
But he belongs here"
It developed that Ernst Lu-
bitsch soon may direct a picture
on the grand scale of Passion"
or Deception" The pleasant,
democratic Mr.. Warner explained
that the famous director had been
given light comedy-dramas like
"The Marriage Circle" and kiss
Me Again" to show the public
that he was fitted for something
besides spectacles. He'll work up
to that. He has just completed
Lady Windemere's Fan"
In came Mr.. Lubitsch, with the
charming Mrs. Warner and that
equally lovely lady, Mrs. Lubitsch.
Ernst Lubitsch is probably small
err than you are, whoever you are,
dark and hairy. He is also very
good-natured and about as the
atrical as the secretary of the
vestrymen's association.
There wasn't anything like an
interview with him. Just a lively,
laughable chat, punctuated by his
funny comments, delivered in a
voice with a pronounced foreign
accent. He didn't try to impress
anybody with the idea that he is
a genius, any more than Mr..
Warner tries to make others
realize, just from looking at him
and hearing him tax, that he is
one of the most successful pro-
ducers Of the day. Perhaps that's
why the visit was so genuinely
happy all around.
