wrong done their family by the
Corsican tyrant of one hundred

gives an exciting performance. He
has no easy job, creating two sepa-
rate characters who are different,
yet alike in most respects. One,
brought up in luxury, is a gay young
man of the world. The other, raised
as a bandit in the wilds of Corsica,
is dour and forbidding PERSONAL
ity. Yet young Douglas Fairbanks
manages to convey their likenesses
as well as their differences, with an
authenticity that is astounding.

JUDITH EVELYN SPENT A NIGHT
Of TERROR IN ATHENA SINKING

Five. and half hours later they
saw rescue ships lights, and
struggled towards them. An hour
and a half of rowing got them to
the stern, but as they drew along
side in the meagre light, they saw
the ship was still moving and many
lifeboats waited To be unloaded.
Suddenly they drifted backward
into the propeller of the huge YES
sci, went under. and Miss Evelyn
found herself climbing fiat on her
stomach onto piece of debris, part
of the upturned bottom Of the life
boat, which had been sliced by the
ships screws. Her fiancee was with
her, but his father was not.
They took on six others and
then drifted beyond call from
the ship. Within the next three
hours, fifteen more victims seized
hold of the fragile bit OF debris. At
dawn, a British destroyed picked
them up. They were only six, now.

did Red Cross work, couldn't quite
catch hold Of her career, finally
went to Hollywood. Still trying to
shake off shock, she dictated her
experience to stenographer, and
then she sat down and wrote it
out, thirty-three pages.
That made it seem, at last, like
something that happened to some
body else" she said.
"Curiously, I don't remember
once feeling afraid on board the
stricken Athena or during The

SO this is it.

of sadness of leaving England, anx-
iety about the wars outcome. The

I feared had happened, seemed to

New York.-Judith Evelyn, tht
star Of angel Street" as successful
a horror play as Broadway has
seen in many a season, knows hor-
ror first hand, herself.
She was aboard the liner Athena
when it went down in the sensa
tional torpedoing off the Irish coast
in the early days Of the war. The
ship was bound for Canada, out OF
Liverpool, with 14l8 people on board
Scores were lost.
"Angel Street" is a simple little
horror play about five people en-
meshed in madness which nobody
can pin on anybody till everybody
in the cast-and the audience toe
are scared stiff. 1t broke six
year jinx 'on the theater. It's in
and has New York talking.
PREDICTED A HIT
IN angel STREET"
Judith Evelyn, the star, isn't a bit
surprised, however.
Mark my words" she kept say

said war was coming, and In war
time people want escape" theater
something TO get their minds off
danger. Something frothy, like girls,
tunes, romance.
Miss Evelyn would reply yes,
but" She maintained there's an
other thing that will get your mind
off your own danger quick enough,
and that's somebody e1se's danger,
striking not too close to home.
That wasn't exactly guesswork, .
she said, quite casually. in her
dressing room. I'D been in the
Athena disaster myself"
She was in the dining saloon with
her fiancee and his father that night
when suddenly two explosions, close
together, rocked the ship. They hur-
ried to their stateroomS, donned
lifebelts, reported TO their boat sta
tons and got off in the next-to-last
lifeboat. With them we're about 80

Judith Evelyn is a blonde girl

She is an American born in Tex

went to schol and got her early
dramatic experience in Canada.
Thus again she takes Broadway by
surprise-a brand new actress, spec
tacularly successful in her debut.
Only here, too, there's unsupported
experience behind her. She was the

Here is Ensign Reid's story:
