LONDON-Ellen Terry knows the
gentle art of growing old gracefully
better, perhaps, than any other cele-
brated Englishwoman.
She received great ovation at the
first night of the reveva1 of much
Ado About Nothing" in which Henry
Ainley and Madge Titheradge had the
roles of Benedick and Beatrice.
Ellen Terry was the Beatrice in
Henry Irving's production "A years
ago and soon established herself as
the greatest Beatrice England hao
known Consequently the appearance
of the venerable actress in one of
5he boxes provoked prolonged APP
piause, which she acknowledged with
much grace.
Ellen Terry had made no attempt
to conceal her years. Her hair is
silver white and she usually wears
a lace scarf about her head, and
dresses in black or soft grays. She
is a beautiful grandmotherly person
who in her old age remains all the
dignity and charm which made her
England's foremost actress.
When Ainley was called before the
curtain at the end of the performance
he turned to Miss Terry's box and
expressed the pride his company felt
in performing in her presence.

LONDON-Patient Englishmen have

Dearer haircuts for men are threat

Women's haircuts cost as high as
ten shillings in London, while men

sum to have their hair trimmed.
Consequently the assistants who work
in shops where women are served
are paid more than in shops for men

BERLIN, March 20.-The ''organiZed
famine" of the war time rationing
days is being wildly recalled by
new problem which has been pre-
scented to the Berlin police. There
is plague of fasters, who do stunts
of going foodless for various forms
of money payment, and the police
are trying to persuade several hun
dred men and women that food
strikers for money eceed the bounds
of sport or scientific research.
AS the result of profitable ehihi-
tions by several professional fasters,
the police have had to deal with
scores of other applications for per-
mission to give similar shows. Among
the applicants was a woman weigh
ing $50 pounds. Her plea was that
she ought to reduce anyhow and
that she might as well make some
money while she was doing it.
Long lines of spectators are now
watching two professional fasters,
displayed in glass cages on one of
Berlin's principal streets. Daily bull
letins on their physical and mental
condition are posted about the city.
foreign ambassadors and other mott
ahles will be honored by the guards
at the presidential residence.
Petrus Olsen, chief warden of the
Berlin zoo and noted lion tanner, said |
in an interview that beasts of prey
human beings not by their
faces or their dress, but solely by
movements.
Olsen claims to have raised to ma
turity more lions, tigers leopards
and bears than any other man in
