A week after Arlette's arrival

a Paramount release to Ibe seen
here later and no sooner had
Arlette finished her work in that
picture than Lasky assigned her
to play the part of dance hall

CuriousIy enough, Arlette got
no end of a kick out of this
latter role and furthermore, she

a dance-hall girl of the seething

Arlette, though, explained it In

and has been ever since James

the craze and gave the name OF

the life of Wales includes some
thing besides its mountains, Its

Wales" said Miss Vane, is
the land of song. That is some
thing which few people outside
of the country realize or know
anything about. But there is a
bigger percentage of good voices
among the Welsh than any other
people. excepting the Italians.
There is little to do in the way
of diversion in my country. and
whatever is done Is through the
medium of the church or some
religious organization. Wales is
honeycombed with choral socie-
ties, composed chiefly Of the
miners and their families. Every
week there is something going on
In the way of choral, and once
a month several of the societies
will meet and give a more am
bilious program. Then, every
August there is a huge, meeting
called a national which gives
one OK the great, famous cantatas,
such as The Messiah" or Elijah
pr a similar one. The foremost
musicians in all England attend
these annual meetings and it is
considered a great event through
out the country"

choral societies, and the one
through which Miss Vane first

success, is the competitions In
