Diva In Film.

NINE. MARIA JERITzA, world-famed

nounced as one of the attractions of
Mrs. Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey's Sunday

Little Is known of the picture at the
present time, news dispatches say,
though 1t Is understood that German
and English versions will be made and
that the latter version will be shown in
America next season. The title, too,
remains mystery, though Jeritza, her
self, Is said to have the leading role.
Since leaving the Metropolitan, where
for nearly decade the great Viennese
diva was prina donna soprano, Jeritza
has devoted herself exclusively to con-
cert in America, although she has ap-
peared frequently in opera abroad. Her
appearance under Mrs. Dorsey's man.
agement next season will mark Jeritza's
first WASHINGTON appearance since
leaving the Metropolitan ranks

Mrs. Dorsey in this same Sunday series

Chicago just two weeks ago with the
premiere performance in that city of
his memorable title role In Gutenberg s

remarkably popular ensembles ever to
sing in the Capital; Jose Iturbi, the
sensational Spanish pianist; Heifetz,
the wizard Of the violin, and the Vienna
Saengerknaben or Boys Choir, which
made its local debut here last season.

Reliable as a Barometer.

EDWARD G. ROBINSONS smoking
habits on the set, while he Is work.
ing in q picture, are as reliable as q
barometer is about the weather.
As soon as scene is finished the
First National star invariably walks
over to where he left what he was
smoking when the scene began. Some
times 1t is pipe. At other times 1t
Is cigar. Robinson seldom, If ever,
smokes q cigarette.
But whatever 1t Is, on any given
day-a pipe or a cigar-depends very
definitely on the nature Of that days
work.
II the scenes are Of an intense dra-
matte nature, you can give odds that
Robinson will smoke nothing but
cigars that day.
II, on the other hand the action
and dialogue Is Of a bright, breezy,
cheerful or frivolous nature, you will
invariably find him contentedly smok-
ing pipe.
During Two Seconds" for instance,
in which the clouds Of tragedy r,ath-
cred around the stars head as drama
in which he was involved moved in
exorably toward the electric chair,
Robinson's pipe appeared on the set
for only two days. Those were the
days when he was radiantly happy
over his courtship of the girl who
proved to be his ruin.
In Silver Dollar" on the contrary,
Eddie puffed happily on his pipe prac-
tically throughout the picture, as he
portrayed the buoyant self-confidence
and unshakable optimism of Silver
Dollar" Tabor. Except for the neces-
sity for smoking an occasional cigar
in front of the camera, Robinson ad-
hered to his pipe day after day, until
the concluding sequences of the pic
ture, when Tabor, in tragic bewilder-
ment, sees his millions disappear in the
wreck of the stock market and he
drifts to his death, disillusioned
pauper During these few days the
pipe disappeared and cigar took its
place as the stormy petrol Of the stars
offstage moments.
His latest starring picture, "The
Little Giant" which carried with it a
broad, lusty spirit Of satirical melo-
drama. is what might be called pipe"
picture in the light of the foregoing,
rather than cigar" picture, for Ed
ward G. Robinson.
