MOVIE COLONY
GETS UP STAGE
OVER COUNTESS
Society Becomes Peeved
Because She Takes Job
AS Extra Girl.
BY LINCOLN QUARBERG


HOLLYWOOD, NOV. 26.--Count-
ess Tostoy, beautiful young wife
Of Count llya Tolstoy, was virtual
ly ostracizcd from Hollywood soci-
ETY. today following her announced
intention of becoming movie extra
girl.
The countess. since her arrival at
the screen capital, has been a pivot
a figure at all elite gatherings Of
the film folk. BY accepting =
mere Job in pictures, the count
csS automatically disqualified her
self to move in the more select cir
cles where movie stars refuse to
minglc with extra girls.
Several Of the movie 400 have
already taken the countess off their
lists Of patroncsscs, it was learned,
and the countess, hearing of the ac-
ton, mailed cancellations to more
than a score of parties to which she
had already been invited.
In addition, the Russian beauty
called off several elaborate affairs
already scheduled at the Tolstov
mansion in Beverly Hills at which
she was to be the hostess. The
countess musicales and teas have
been the talk of Hollywood.
''lf | must lose my social rating
in Hollywood because | have dccid-
ed to be an extra girl, | will call
off everything, declared the count
css. 81 always believed America
WAS n democratic country, but in all
Russia there is no such social big
Ctry.
at seems strange to me that
one $ social standing in Hollywood
should be measured by one $ rating
in the wage scale at the studios. |
viii work conscientiously for my s.
Fer day paid to extra girls, and who
knoWs-maHbe some day | will b.
Il great star and | will be reinstat-
cd in what they call society i'll
Hollywood.
Countess Tolstoy said she would
Gon the grease paint early next
week. Her initial appearance will
be in Resurrection, screen YER
sion of the famous Russian novel
l'y Count Leo Tolstoy.

Brunk' s Players
In Mystery Show

1.-The Unseen Way,' the thrill
. ing mystery omcdy-drama by De
Witt Newing. author of The Love
of Su Shong. 1.-Two Fistcd Love-
and numerous other Broadway and
stock successes, will be the next
week 5 offering at Brunk' 5 tent
thcatcr.
Based on the kind of fear of the
unknown that makes one turn to
look behind in the dark, a terror
that is not of material things but
lives IN the innermoSt rccesses of
the mind, ''The Unseen Way is
one of the best, if not the best mvs-
terry drama ever offered in this city.
In spite of the fact that the cold
chills of stark terror seem to cma-
nate from every line, the play pre-
sents the unusual anomaly of n
ymystery drama that is packed with
humor and romance. The romance
of it comes from its basis on the
line of the poet, Tagore-" Where
the road is made lose nv wav-I
ask MY heart if it carries the wis
dom of THE Unseen Way As for
the humor, it is of the subtle kind
seldom heard in a play of this type.
1.-THE Unseen Way abounds in
numerous thrills and excellent com
rdY situations, most of the comedy
element being furnished by Bobby
Blake. private secretary to the
mysterious Mr. Holt.
Jack Bronson, leading man of
Brunk 5 comedians, will have the
role of Amir Din, n part that is en-.
tirely different from any he has
yet played. Nirgic Bronson will
be seen in the role of Alice, step
daughter of the man who causes
most of the mystery by his appear
my and disappearing. These two
splendid artists will be given capa-
lie support by the other members
