the triple gauze curtain of Mr.. Won
Sternberg's magic -.
''It has been said that | was Trilby
to his Svengali. | would rather say
l was Eliza to his Henry Higgins"
There you have one Of Dietrich's
wise distinctions. No innocent she,
like Trilby, the victim of villainous
hypnotist; but, truthfully, like Ber-
nard Shaw's ''Just you wait!" heroine
in ''Pygmalion'' and my Fair Lady,"
who triumphs through UOrk and LOOe.
Another sharp Dietrich distinction
is that between her professional and
her private life. 1t is well enough
known not to need elaboration here
that her husband of IS years, Rudolf
Sieber, former director, operates a
chicken ranch in California, where
she visits weeks at a time, as her
career allows.
Marlene's family life centers mainly

ment, where her daughter Maria and
son-in-law Bill Riva live with their
three children. There Dietrich is said
to let herself 60 in such homely pur-
suits as cooking, cleaning, and baby
sitting. But she refuses to talk about
this for publication.
She has amused friends, though, by
relating how she keeps nurses uni
form to wear when she wheels the
youngest child to the park, so she
won't be recognized.
Not that she has anything to hide
from her public. On recent evening
at the Broadway Theater where the
musical Take Me Along" is playing,
Marlene appeared in a long black vel
vet dress.
Shoulders 10 remember
Though there was a slit low in the
back of the skirt, there was no glimpse
of the famous legs as she glided past
me down the aisle on the arm of a tall,
handsome escort. But for consolation,
her less often seen shoulders rose
beautifully and daringly out of the

stunning pink-lemonade blond hair,

Marlene herself followed the show
intently, sitting always on the edge of
her seat. Most of the time she leaned
forward; occasionally back, and then,
since she still sat on the edge, her
position became a cozy, contented
slump, with hands clasped under her
chin. Another moment, something on
stage would make her pop upright.
No doubt about it, she was alive,
beautiful and glamOrous, even on the
receiving side of the fOOtlights. And

up his heels on stage and sang in a

London's Subway
Is Worlds Oldest

LONDON. - London's SUBJ
way system, the oldest in the
world, went into operation with.
a three-mile tube" in Janu-
airy. 1858. and it is still far
from completed. The latest
program, costing $S4 million,
will provide hundreds of new
and rebuilt cars.
The subway covers a city
and-suburban network Of $50
miles. is equipped with nearly
300 stations, and carries more
than Is million passengers q
day. The first cars were pulled
by steam locomotives. The first
electric cars went into use In
1890. BY 1905 the entire sys-
tenn was electrified.
