Portrait of a Lady

CHE is blonde, her husband is more
~ than six feet tall, she was Max Lin
der's leading lady in his final film and
her first talking picture is now being
exhibited. She has played opposite
Rudolph Valentino and Ronald Col
man and the name of the town in which
she was born Is Nagydorog.
She was married two years ago and
Cecil B. De Mile. was best man at the
wedding. Constance Talmadge was a
lady in waiting and so were the wives of
Harold Lloyd and Samuel Goldwyn.
She has sister, brother, mother
and father. When she brought her
husband to the old home town last year
the chamber of commerce gave them a
dinner, the mayor gave them the keys
to the city and the family gave them
some home cooking.
She can cook. What Is more. she
does. She is not high hat, and even her
press agents think she is altogether
lovely. She Is a quiet, but very deter
mined person. She met her husband at
a dinner party in the De Mile home.
Charlie Chaplin saw her in her first
film in America and predicted she
would be great star. She was Valen-
tino's leading lady In his last picture.
Her mother was an actress, too. She
appeared on European stage once and
the whole family thought she was not so
good She agreed with them.
Two weeks ago she became an Ameri-
can citizen. The talkies have not, and
will not, chase her back to Europe. Her
press agent christened her THE Hun
garian Rhapsody" when she landed In
New York four years ago and that ought
to tell you who she Is. She is not Pola
Negri, not Lya de Putt, and she has
never played opposite Emil Jannings,
George Bancroft or Douglas Fairbanks.
She has never asked lshaw for one Of

ON THE BROADWAY STAGE
Review of Theatrical Affairs Along the White Way
By Percy Hammond.

author of MY Girl Friday" another
thea trical scof1aw, seems determined to
convince us further that this is a CHEAP
and wicked world. In the play at the
Longacre he presents us to Miss Sylvia
Sidney, a tough virgin. aged IS, bub-
bling over with ideas and information.
Being a modern ingenue, she knows
nothing about life except what she has
learned from reading THE Captive"
and from her doglike intuition that
money is the root and blossom of all
the evils. AS Miss Sidney makes her
up she is an infant, mans bane, with
flaming lips. eyes like deep. mysterious
Broadway caverns, legs meant to be
exhibited before the public and COM
PLEASANT attitude toward the difficulties
Of Manhattans sex life She leaps
rather gracefully over the boundaries

shock those of us who belong to an
elder and subtler generation of sinners
Nice Women" Is a second-class third
rater, intended deliberately TO startle,
shock, amuse and edify the hicks who
patroniZe the June dramas, and I am
afraid that 1t will teach us that no
matter how unconventional our sex
shortcomings are, We can always de-
pend upon the Summer drama to give
us a rainbow and box-office finish My
most enthusiastic shouts about Nice
Women" are addressed to Mr.. Warwick,
who in Monday nights crisis at the
Longacre proved himself to be better
as a man than as an actor, soothing as
he did the excitement of an audience af-
frighted by fumes and flames. AL

NATIONAL PLAYERS-'Loose
AnkInr -

loose Ankles" Sam Janney's satire
on modern youth, will be presented by
the National Theater Players this week,
beginning tomorrow evening, with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
In this play Of modern life and man
ners as they are said to be sometimes
found on Broadway and in other sophis-
ticated circles throughout the country.
Sam Janney has contrived series of
comical situations simply to provoke
mirth, rather than solve a problem. The
play is built for entertainment purposes
and with no other idea than to evoke
smiles.
Loose Ankles" concerns young lady
who inherits a fortune. provided she
marries with the approval of her rela-
tives. She is a rebellious flapper, how
ever, and prefers rather to have her
relatives disapproval. so she contrives
an arrangement whereby she is placed
almost in a compromising situation
and that, of course, Stirs up quite a bit
of action. The shafts of satire are shot
at a type of young man who-for
money-undertakes to play the role of
gallant to ladies we'll past the age of
frolicsOme youth. Four of these are
hired by Ann Harper during her esca-
pade to make matters the merrier
Edith King will portray the irrespon-
Side Happer. Ann Harper, around whose
social activities the plot revolves, and
comedy demands will enlist the services
of Roger Pryor, Edward Arnold, Charles
Hampden and Freddy Sherman, while
the feminine contingent, including Mrs.
Adelaide Hubbard and Helen Wallace,
will be found strongly in evidence in
helping to increase the merrinent.

ME IRE HlaIIn at Inc LOnEACfe
Monday night, while soon paci-
fed by Robert Warwick, should
A be blessed omen that the
drama itself is not the only peril
possible to theatergoing. 1t has &C.
Cured to several calm observers that
we are growing forgetful of other dan
gers that Turk in the prosceniuns
neighborhood and that a Jolt to our
sense of self-satisfied security would do
us no harm. So rife are the hazards
of show business, both front and back
that we have little time to be fearful OF
holocausts and panics.
Now that it has been called to our
attention by the scare at the Longacre
let us urge the dramas janitors to be
even more careful than usual. It seems
incredible that the electric wiring OF q
New York theater should be permitted
to misbehave as it did on Monday night
at the Longacre. filling the auditorium
with smoke and endangering the well
fare of the flrst-nighters. Yet 1t is a
fact that 1t did so. There we sat, more
or less fascinated by the unfolding of a
tale OF baWdry and true love, only to
have our rapture disturbed by threats
Of a catastrophe. AS l remained des-
perately quieScent in my chair while
my neighbors sought safety upon the
sidewalk, I comforted myself by perus-
ing Fire Commissioner Dormans advice
to the drama lovers. as printed at the
top of the Longacre's play bill Look
around and choose the nearest exit
says he--an admonition which makes
him the wisest of the dramatic critics.
Mr.. Warwick was rather splendid
when the tiny panic was at its height.
No assuring word had come from the
Longacre's Indifferent management and
it was up to him to allay the fevers of
a Broadway public, well nigh scared to
death. AS he babe us, inpatiently, TO
be tranquil, he reminded me of that
tragic Christmas matinee at the Iro-
quois Theater in Chicago several years
ago when the innocent Eddie Foy made
similar though less successful ad-
dress. One trusts that the Longacre
Theater hereafter will investigate its
fire traps and make it safer for us to
enjoy the privileges of drama loving
uninterrupted by hose carts and nozzle
men.
