At any rate, he lavishcd a large part Of his
fortune on her. for when he died in 1882
he was penniless One of his fantastic
schemes was TO attempt TO buy Madison

her hands on enough money TO make last
appearance on the Riviera and 90 hire a car
and chauffeur.
Though the dancer considered clothing as
n superfluous handicap to women, except in
cold weather she liked long, flowing drap-
cries usually attached 20 her neck. These
streamers were most effective on the stage
& rather untidy elsewhere and now one of
them was TO cause her death.
AS the car started, a long scarf. tied at
one end about her throat, tangled its other
in the wire spokes of a rear wheel with the
result that it broke her neck. She had
managed to be killed accidentally i'm an auto

accident which the French police said was

Nazi occupation Of Paris, they achieved
worldwide publicity. The Russian Govern

Russia was not interested in Isadora's ashes
but some that had been mingled with them.

band, the mad Russian poet, Yessenin His

he committed suicide, some sentmentalist

Hitler always making huge demands for
oil and grain from Russia was delighted
TO grant this one, because il would cost
nothing. Therefore the horde of Gestapo
agents and other plunderers were ordered to
find the urn and they did According TO
the accounts, they arrived just in time 20
prevent the ashes being dumped in an ash
can. With pomp and ceremony the urn was
delivered 20 Moscow.
Ruth st. Denis is famous dancer who
now occupies Isadora's studio. Miss St Denis
says that hen one Of her pupils sprains an
ankle, or a picture falls from the wall Isa-

is filled with prominent artistic people which
no doubt pleases the ghost of Miss Duncan
and perhaps Mr. Singer If they ever drop in

In crowded Manhattan the fact that
people happen to live in buildings next door

had found way to break through his office

was the simple fact
The Duncan-Snger interlude seems 10
have died Of natural causes, though it fol-
lowed its crazy course for almost ten years.
When Paris and Isadora tired OF New
York and their secret "sllyway" they car
ried their affections and quarrels half way
around the world.
Isadora, in her memoirs, says that Paris
Che was named after the city in France
where he was born was great lover And
the truth is she must have loved him deeply
for she bore him two children. one she lost
at birth. The other, Patrick was killed i'm

Another imposing detail was a bathroom
spacious enough for an ordinary persons hv-

This was beyond human understanding

Not Isadora, certainly. That lady made
plenty of money and spent more than she

When no dispossess proceedings or other

one OF her dearest friends thought II would

Who Lohcngrin was she never revealed

Evidently she communed with some-
one because about twice a week, the
lists friends were warned that she
would be at home to nobody except

The dancer gave the impression that
on such occasions. she sat alone in her
temple-lke studio, perhaps in her 4
$4,000 tub while Lohengrin, also alone
somewhere, communed with her in spirit.
This was not too improbable, as far
as Isadora was concerned. Anything
crazy could happen, and usually did
happen, in her life which has been called
exotic, neurotiC and what-notic"
But Paris Singer was a hard-headed
businessman who may have lost money

20 give something for nothing
1t was most tantalizing and yet there

TO be stopping of for the summer
at Jack Dempsey's in New York.
Frustration department: But the
stop won't be the high adventure
in gardening that Mrs. Stable al
ways had kept in the back of her
mind as a possibility provided they
anchored long enough in the vicinity
Of their home on Long Island. Next
to singing, she loves gardening more
than anything else. 1t was one of
her favorite notions about the place
she and Dick bought on Long Island.
The notion has just died. On the
eve Of returning to New York for a
full summers stand, the Stables
just sold the place.
Maybe Oracle will settle for a few
window boxes jutting out from the
apartment living room.
Maybe she'll just sing all summer
and wait for a more auspicious time
to become gardener.
Voice department: One Of the
incidentally and unwittingly anus
ing elements of "Juke Girl" which
probably will be noticed only by the
fans of his old theater days, is Rich
ard Whorf's handling of his dia-
logue in that part of the taut, tough
young man he plays.
The dialogue, tough talk written
by the studios tough talk depart
ment which has put words into such
mouths as John Garf1eld's, j. Gag
ney's, Robinson's, ETC., is just what
it always has been. 1t is full of
double negatives designed for being
spoken out Of the corner Of the
mouth, glitters with such phrases as
did any one ever tell you you've got
a tuneful tonsil?"
Whorf, who's too good an actor
for such part, reads them with
a nice understanding, but he also
reads them with a voice whose in
telligence is incorruptible. The die
ton he learned in the schools of
the Lunts, Robert E. Sherwood,
Chekov, S. N. Behrman, ETC., is too
fine to be disguised.
The story is that he wanted the
part. If it is true, Warmers should
not humor him.
They should tell him, maybe, that
such things are not good enough for
him.
II 4 \
Legal department: Lawyers may
be the only exception to the rule
that every one shall get his name on
q movie credit list--even the hair
stylist-but they figure in the busi-
ness nevertheless. Those of Goth
Century-Fox for instance, just had
to tell the studio it couldn't use 25
pictures of Is miscellaneous men
which 1t wanted as specimens of
success course students. The whole
Is could sue, the lawyers said, unless
the studio got releases. 1t seemed
less trouble to hire Is extras at
s10.50 each and have their shot
instead.
You've got to be tactful, see?
