man, Lord Palmerston, was q frequent
visitor at Compiegne
A particularly effective piece Of in
vention carries Miss Skinner through
her third scene on the eve of court
ball, during the regency in 1865. Hel
confidant in this scene is the author Of
Carmen" and COLUMBIA" Prosper
Merrimee, who actually was an adept
at English-hence English is the Ian
guage used between them in order tc
avoid the curiousity Of the attendant
French guards.
In the fourth scene history is COM
pletely self-sufhcient, for it was to the
office Of the American dentist. DR.
Evans, that Eugene fed from the burn
ing Tuileries and the Paris mob after
the arrival Of the news Of Napoleon's
defeat at Sedan Likewise, In the fifth
scene. at Chiselhurst, in England, Eng
lish IS the logical language to employ
for Eugenie's visitor, condoling with her
over the loss of her son, the Prince
Imperial, Is none other than Queen Vic
toria.
As Miss Skinner begins with inven-
ton. SO she ends. It was her desire to
show the aged Empress on the threshold
of her long-awaited death and in the
Paris which she had always loved and
to which she was permitted to return
when the French political authorities
became convinced Of her harmlessness.
Here in q room in the Continental
Hotel, overlooking the Tuileries Gar
dens and the Champs Elysee, Eugene,
according to Miss Skinner, plays hostess
to a young American girl, Just fresh
from the Worth, who had designed her
own costumes for her youthful beauty
This invention enables Miss Skinner to
eHtomize the long and eventful career
with a few poignant memories In much
the same way as she enabled Katherine
Parr to epitomize the highlights and
the successive wives of Tudor Henry's
career in the last scene of her first
dramatic sequence, THE Wives of
Henry VIII" last year.

The growth in popularity of the mar
ionettes is one of the most interesting
features of the entertainment world
Tony Sarg's Marionettes give perform
ances which present many features of
ailuring quality. The stage settings, in
the first place, create q definite atmos-
phere. Then there are the figures,
which are Of size adequate to assist
materially in the stage illusion. And
the astonishing dexterity with which
they are handled and the corresponding
realism attained in the general stage
ensemble makes a picture that lacks
nothing in diverting and convincing
qualities.

Empress Speaks English

JUST because one speaks flawless
French is no reason why one
should inf1ict it in long stretches
~ on American audiences. Cornelia
Otis Skinner took that for
granted when she started work last
Spring on the manuscript Of her new
dramatic sequence, The Empress Eu-
genie" in which Washington audiences
will see her at the National Theater
for a single week, beginning Monday,
January 2.
Being a logical person, Miss Skinner
was, however. averse to having her
empress converse in English with those
whom she would naturally address in

Miss Skinner could, Of course. have
thrown the whole manuscript into Eng
lish, pretending that that IS what
Frerfch men and women speak to each
other on any and every occasion, just as
most producers do when they bring us
French play in translation or any
play from any language with its set
tings laid in France. In the vast ma
jority of such cases there's nothing
else to do but pretend. But Miss Skinner
apparently felt that her Eugene would
take on more veriSimutude and possess
greater picturesqueness and charm If
she spoke either French or English, &C
cording as the situation demanded. It
was up to her, as her own playwright,
to make about SO per cent Of the Htu-
atoms demand English.
History did not help her much In
the beginning, so Miss Skinner in
vented an incident in the Bots de Bou-
logne month before Eugenies mar
rage to Napoleon, In which she Is

What He Has Done.

WILLIAM POWELL, star Of LAWYER
w Man." the current screen feature
at Warner Bros Earle Theater, was
born in Pittsburgh. His earliest ambi-
ton was to become a lawyer, but he de-
ciied to be an actor upon making an
unexpected hit in a school play IN Kan
sas City. Upon graduation he entered
the American Academy Of Dramatic
Arts In New York, borrowing part OF the
necessary funds and ushering in q the
alter at night to pay expenses. He
finally secured a small role in 1.-THE
Meier Do Well" and later more i'm
portant part in within the Law, y
which furnished him with valuable ex-
perience and a means of livelihood for
two years.
After several years in stock and in
stage production, he was cast as the
villain in Sherlock Holmes" his first
effort in motion pictures. and quickly
rose to stardom. His most recent pic
lures include The Road to Singapore =
High Pressure" Jewel Robbery" and
"One-Wa Passage" In his latest pic
ture. Lawyer Man." he fulfills his child
hood ambition to be an attorney.

! instead of upward. Curiously
enough, however, she is the one
star whose future is assured. Her
public is so large and so sincere
that it will probably see her
through anything.
So, we hope, that instead of a
Christmas card the world at large
will say to Miss Dressler, Don't
retire" There are plenty of others
who can do this in her place.
THE new Radio Keith Orpheum
motion picture theater, which
bears the name of R-K-O Roxy
will be officially opened to the
world at large in New York on
Thursday of this week.
This announcement, which
comes in the middle of the R-K-O
Keith golden jubilee, is probably
the most conspicuous theatric
event of the season in so far as
the present and the future are
concerned. It is important to the
present because it is large
theater, tastefully done in the
best modern manner, and it is i'm
portant to the future because 1t
is a step forward in entertainment
policies and ideas. It suggests
the knitting together of amuse-
mentS, the all important fact that
eventually the legitimate theater,
music, dancing, radio and the
motion picture, will all be treated
under one head.
The vision which Mr.. Rookie
Teller had in this City" is a
vision of permanency and stability
and the comfortable housing to-
gether of all that is artistic. While
the impressiveness of its physical
beauty distinguishes this Roxy
theater, as also the gigantic Radio
City Music Hall with its seating
capacity of 5000 it is the manner
in which things are to be done
here that is particularly interest
ing to those who are thinking
ahead. Here, for instance, Roxy
has said that youngsters will be
their ability. and talent Of every
kind will be discovered and
foStered and trained. Here one
may progress from motion pic
lures to vaudeville, to music-all
in one breath-with notable ex-
ponents of each of the arts (Such
as Martha Graham, who has
charge of the modern dancing)
presenting the best there is in the
current trend.
To such a theater and to the
ideals which the founders, and its
leaders are cherishing, go every
best wish and congratulations.

Miss SINNERS chief offering here will

for the first time In Washington. This

the life of the consort of Louis Ma

Emperor of the French. His reign
ended with the collapse Of the French
armies before the Germans in 1870 and
with the loss of Alsace and Lorraine
to the conquerors from across the

lost provinces restored to France and
the German armies humbled by those
of the allies and the republic.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May GOV. @.
Wadhams Of Rochester is looking

for taxes.
Wadhams got the two-acre island
in Buffalo creek for $24, and an
nually mailed his check TO the Erie
county treasurer for taxes on $4,000
assessed valuation.
The other day-times being what
they are-Wadhams decided ne
might use the property. He went
where the deed said it would be
found.
only the waters of Buffalo creek
flowed at the point. Apparently,
they had carried the island into
Lake Erie.

refund of his payments. and for

tax rolls.
