that way today but, IN the fOllOW-"
ing words, it fails to come off:
AN announcement was made by
Paramount studio the other day
that Cecil B. De Mile would make
his next epic in technicolor. The
announcement was made so simply
that it took a few days for Holly
wood to wake up to the real signif1-
canoe of the statement.
That statement marked the def
mite admission that color Is domi-
nant factor in the movie industry.
The impressario of Marathon street
was the last of the major citadels
for color to storm"
At that, De Mile was one of the
sternest defenders of black and white
photography throughout the period
of desertions by sleWs of his col
leagues. Never a man to stint on
production costs, he invariably in
sisted that color was an experiment
and that the effects achievable with
it were not worth the additional
costs-about tWo-fifths again as
much as the ordinary picture, if we
remember what the WiSemen have
told us.
The technicolor shot that laid low
the great De Mile is not mentioned
by the studio. 1t might easily have
been -Four Feathers" in which
Alexander Korda demonstrated that
some stunning outdoor effects could
be achieved under the bright African
sun. That picture is one of the
finest specimens of color photog-
raphy, the best one that has come
out of Europe since wings of the
Morning" caught the eerie lowell
ness of all that Irish landscape.
One of the favorite stories of pub
licists who are providing Paul MUM S
later biographers with so much ma
terial is Muni's deep effort to un-
derstand character before he plays
it. MUM is not the only one, how
ever, who reads exhauStively on
those great and greater men he
brings to life for the millions to
whom he teaches history.
Miss Anna Neagle, who seems
much too pretty and charming to be
poring over books and other docu-
ments, used the NUM- technique very
thoroughly in her creation of her
two most splendid ladies, Victoria
the Great and Edith Cavell. .One
of the things of which Miss Neagle
is most proud in connection with the
latter part is the splendid fashion
in which every one co-operated in
acquainting her with the smallest
details of Miss Cavell's personality
and her work.

Novelty Acts Star
In Gayety Revue

There's a wide variety Of novelty
turns in the new revue at Jimmy
Lakes Gayety Theater and the show
should be approved by all the bur-
lesque fans. There's girl named
Tess NOVEL;, for instance, who does
some dificult acrobatic dancing, in
cluding some flying splits that are
practically spectacular. The Burns
Brothers are a couple of other people
on the new bill who don't make a
living one of the easy ways, their
contribution being some neat tap
dancing combined with more stren-
uous acrobatic stunts. Another nov
city is that dance Of Zorita's, in
which she employs snake in one
of those routines which is always
described as exotic. And there's a
lad named Billy Harris, who dances
and plays a clarinet the hard way,
tying himself into knots while play
ing it.
There are the usual appurtenances
of a burlesque show, too, all neatly
put together by Mr.. Lake. There's
a chorus which is lively (perhaps
because this is early in the season.
there are some girls named Joan
Marvis and Marie Jamison, who do
not hide their charms under any
bushels, and there is the regular
quota of burlesque buffoonery by
Tiny Fuller and Harry Connolly, a
couple of rubber faced clowns last
nights audience seemed to like very
much.

herself. To her credit, let it be put

herself. To her credit, let it be put
on record that she giggled.
The most startling proof Of the new
Garbo sense of humor was evidenced
when, in the "Ninotchka" dialogue,
she had to say-"I want to be alone"
Carlo spoke the well-known line
without batting an eyelash.
Garbo'S current romance with
Dietician Gaylord Hauser has turned
the spotlight on the saltless, raw
vegetable diet indulged in by the
actress. Her luncheon is bowl of
clear soup, followed by salad of
raw vegetables. These are cut fine
or shredded and served with no type
of dressing. When she is appearing
in a picture, the Metro commissary
always keeps raw salad vegetables
shredded and on hand, for no one
knows at what time the star might
request salad portion.
Garbo is Hollywood's most con-
Servative star. She owns nothing
newer in the way of automobiles
than 1885 model. Her current
residence is small two-story house
on the Santa Monica Beach.
1t took Greta at least two years to
make up her mind to move from her
original dressing room, in the old
dressing room building, to the new
star building Her old room, deco
rated originally by Adrian, was done
In soft tones of gray with crimson
accents.
Her new dressing room is white
almost entirely, with touches of
crimson as relief. The carpet and
walls are white. The draperies
white, with cardinal fringe in a mar
row pattern about the edges. An
antique sofa has white woodwork
and upholstery, and is covered by an
old-fashioned quilt, half white and
half red.
The rest of the furniture is mod
ern French bleached wood. There
is an diversified davenport in white
which occupies one side of the room.
On the wall Is the painting Of a man,
18th century Swedish. This same
painting hung in her old dressing
room, and, when she moved, she had
it framed again, this time in blond
wood. There are other pictures,
which are crayon drawings.
Garbo employs no maid except
during a picture. Lulo, who has
charge of all star dressing rooms on
the M-G-M lot, always hires girl
for her when production Of Garbo
film starts. Garbos only request Is

enjoy walking. With graceful steps,
the long legs bending at the joint
I'VE would call it knee, and placing
the foot well upon the ground as
each step is taken, he lets the pc
destrian know where he is going,
and is in no need to hurry.
Another characteristic attitude of
the stilt is its manner of alighting
When landing, the wings will be
raised high and straight above the
body, then slowly closed over the
back. This is said to be signal to
others coming in. It surely is easy
to see the silt at this moment.
The silt is especially fond of
predacious-diving beetles. Fisher
men bless the stilt for this appe-
tite. since it eliminates the foes of
valuable insects that fish would 9TH
erwise have to do without. There
fore, in its modest way, the silt has
economic importance. Grasshoppers
and bill-bugs, with the beetles, are
included in the menu Of this shore
bird.
The nursery is a sketchy affair,
needed only during incubation.
Grass and small stems, hidden in a
slight depression behind clump of
weeds, answer the need of the moth
er. Three to four olive-brown eggs,
spotted with dark brown, are laid.
AS soon as the youngsters fluff and
dry their natal down they are off
and away. They answer to the call
of their mother, and at night hover
beneath her warm breast. Their
natal clothes are soon replaced with
new plumage. Truly, such preco-
cious infants would be hard to equal.

famous discoverer of radium will be
quite change for Carlo from the
comedy nipups she performed in
"Ninotchka." In the latter picture,
some are still not quite sure whether
1t really was Garbo and not a dou-
BILE. Whoever it was, the lady was
almost funny on-and off-the set.
To give you an idea. One of the
closeup shots in "Ninotchka" re-
quired an intricate bit of music
scoring. 1t was necessary that Wer-
ner Heymann, the composer, watch
the scene. Knowing Garbo's dislike
for being watched by strangers,
Heymann stationed himself behind
one of the black screens on the set,
where he could watch, and slip back
out of sight If Garbo turned her
head his way. After about 10 min
utes, Director Ernst Lubitsch came
around the screen and took Hey
mann by the arm. Come" said
Lubitsch, land be introduced to
Miss Garbo. She has just asked
me, Who is that man who hides
behind the screen every time I want
to look at him?'" Cute?-or is it?
And then there was the time
when Lubitsch put over his gag on
Garbo. The set was typical small
Paris restaurant, with checkered
tablecloths, long loaves of bread in
baskets, sideboard stocked with
fruit, and drawings Of art students
on the walls.
After the scene was finished,
Lubitsch pointed to one of the
drawings. "You didn't quite notice
this one" he remarked. Greta
looked closer and discovered it to
be an impressionistic caricature Of

Bv LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Summer and vacation days offer
many nature lovers opportunity to
seek the haunts of birds with which
heretofore they have only had
reading acquaintance. This is par
ticularly true of the stills.
OF the seven or eight species OF
true stills, only one is found in
America. Our black-necked silt,
sometimes called longshanks or law
yer, is worthy of your time and at
tention. He is among the many
birds that faced extinction and only
by legal protection were saved for
future generations to enjoy.
Today in the West and South,
where there are alkaline lakes, and
by the grand pools of the Great
Basin, many stills mingle with their
cousins, the avocets. AS these birds
resemble each other very closely,
this is your opportune moment for
recognizing the difference between
their field marks. You will be quite
delighted to see how greatly they
differ, once you see them together.
The black-necked silt Is about
13 inches long and is black above,

listeners. The most vivid personality
before the public today, Miss Pom
selle knows how to win the hearts
of her audience and to give 1t what
it wants most to hear.
Gowned in a golden robe, the
singer was an attractive picture as
she came out with bouyant step for
her first number, "Divinites du Styx"
from Gluck's opera "Alceste." Bring
ing all her dramatic fervor to the
fore, she sang it with rich opulence
of tone and intense feeling. Salvos
of applause rewarded her and she re-
turned to give Wagner's "Traueme,
one of the most beautiful interpreta-
tions ever heard. The text took on
new meaning in Miss Ponselle's de-
clamation, which was further in
spired by an ecstatic feeling that
few singers bring to it.
There are not many artists who
can penetrate so deeply into the
music they re-create as to extract
its very kernel but this Miss Ponselle
does and at the end one has the
feeling of completeness and of truth.
In spite of some exaggerated man
nerism, Miss Ponselle is unique in
her directness, her warmth and her
power Of projection. If but a faint
shade will give added emphasis to
a phrase, she is able to make her
listeners feel its significance.
At her second appearance she
sang "Mariettas Lied" from Korn-
COLDS die Tote Stadt," in most
poignant fashion. Her voice, sub
dued in volume. was full of changing
color, highly descriptive in her man
ner of using it. Called back by the
enthusiasm aroused. she chose the

enough, however, and the piano was
used for the songs which followed.
beginning with Annie Laurie" and
including the "Erlkoenig," "Clavili-

flowers presented to the artist added
to the festive atmosphere which the
brilliant prima donna had created
by her art and personality.

Before and after Miss Ponselle's
part of the program, the orchestra
had its share of the limelight in
especially fine performances OF the
overture to Lalo's lie Roi dys,"
the Beethoven eighth symphony,
Borodin's "On the Steppes of Gen.
tral Asia" and Balakirev's '1slamey."
The dramatic overture to Lalo's
opera is of greater length than
ordinarily assigned to this form,
but a powerful work in its play
