R-K-O Keith's last night is pro-
found tragedy, and the Shakespearean
item, of course, is purest fantasy.
The kinship is based on transla-
ton of poetic language into visual
terms-the expression Of ideas In
terms of form. This is not quite so
abstract as it would sound. It merely
signifled the actual representation in
settings. costumes and persons of
quantities that were suggested by
words in the original Therein lies
one advantage of the cinema over the
stage. The celluloid medium can sat-
isfy the unimaginative, who would
miss much of the implied content Of
blank verse.
1t does not necessarily follow that
Hollywood's Mary of Scotland" Is
greater than Broadways. The film Is
a dignifed, deeply moving ghost Of
the legitimate production. hewing
closely to the spirit and fact of the
distinguished original. No woman in
history has stirred such acrimonious
debate among scholars and romanti-
cists as Mary, the Queen of the Scots.
She has been variously pictured as an
impassioned villaineSs, martyr per-
secuted by a monstrous rival ELIZA
beth Of England) and as one of those
Greek tragedy figures whose fate was
sealed in her own soul on the day
that she was born.
Mary Ideal Subject.
Consequently Mary is the ideal sub
iect of a drama. on the screen or else
where. Mr.. Anderson happens to
have preferred to soften the sting Of
her unhappy plight by giving the
queen lover who was steadfast. noble
and inspired by unselfish motives-a
person somewhat contrary to the Earl
of Boutwell, We have met in the history
books and biographies. While this
places the stamp of AL for love and
the world we'll lost" on Marys doom,
1t likewise makes her more attrac-
tive figure than a woman fatally infat-
uated with boisterous. brawling, self
seeking and rather low character.
Whatever Its relation to fact or
fable, the screens Mary Of Scotland
is unquestionably a fine achievement
photographically and, with the excep-
ton of one confused sequence, q tri-
umph for its director, John Ford. Mr..
Ford's Irish mysticism is paradoxically
helpful in this grim saga Of Scotland,
diffusing the barrenness Of tragedy
with note of faith and charity and
rather cleverly avoiding the religious
issue which played such vital part
In Mary's downfall. The queens re-
fusal to become a Protestant directly
contributed to her disastrous end, yet
Ford is able to make it appear that the
fact she was a Christian gave her an
unwavering belief in the future life
that made her burdens and even her
execution bearable.
Hepburn Wins Praise.
AS for the performances in MARY
of Scotland" Katherine Hepburn's
mining of the title role is deserving
of an essay in itself. That commen-
tary could not be one long, unmiti-
gated paean of praise, but it would
have to grant the lady many laurel
wreath and admit that in the scene
where Mary tells Boutwell, Of her
early life, La Hepburn is more Of an
actress than she has ever been before
In all her career. Fredric March's
Boutwell, is superlative piece OF

Middle Name

IF FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSE-
WELT is defeated in his campaign
for reelection this year, that middle
name, 'sDelano", may be the reason.
That is, it will If history repeats
itself.
Only one President who used his
middle name has ever been successful
in seeking reelection. He was Ulysses
Simpson Grant. John Quincy Adams
wasn't able to survive the handicap
of a middle name, nor was James
Knox Polk, Rutherford Birchard
Hayes, William Howard Taft or Her
bert Clark Hoover.
OF course, John Calvin Coolidge and
Thomas Woodrow Wilson were re-
elected. but Coolidge dropped the "John"
and Wilson discarded the Thomas"
There may or may not be anything
in this matter Of a middle name being
handicap to reelection, but the fact
remains that the Presidents who were
elected for second term were "two-
namers''-George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, James Mon
roe, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lin
coin, Grover Cleveland, William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt.

behind them, and the three were with
in the apartment. All the time, the ra-
do sustained its roar. At last, Col

and the silence re-echoed.
The girl called Mrs. Lorrie never
for an instant relaxed her hold on
Agnes. She dragged Agnes down be-
side her in a big oyerstuffed chair
which had litter of cigarettes about
it.
What's happened?' Agnes implored.
"Oh. what has happened?"
'Nothing's happened!" the girl de-
clared. 'Oh, I'm in a hell Of a mess ="

But her hands were cold and moist in

lashes, and skin splotched with rouge

wet lips had distorted the crimson
smears of lipstick. She was slim but
plump-bosomed, and she was in neg

sheer stockings under her lace and
pink-silk peignoir.
Her neck and shoulders and arms
and her legs curled under her were
slender and dainty. She would be
pretty, Agnes realized, If she were not
in such a state; and she was no older
than Agnes herself.

Birds Nests as Food

Birds nests of a certain kind are
an article of food much priced in
China on account of the nutritive prop
critics which they are supposed to pos
sess. They are Of gelatinous nature
and chiefly used for making soup.
They are furnished by several species
of swallow and are found in the cav
ems on the seashore Of the eastern
Archipelago. 1t has been ascertained
that. they consist of a peculiar mucus
which the bird secretes and disgorges
from its mouth. The nests adhere to
the rock and are collected after the
young are fledged. The cleansing of
the nests Is a long and tedious proc
ess and a number of persons in Canton
are employed in conducting this oper-
alton. The prepared article, which has
the appearance Of dried gelatinous-
looking fragments. may be purchased
IN some Of the London shops.
