Only a few Eskimos are to be found there, and ‘it is' the occasional port of call for traders. inde 1 | mistake befors many months went s | by. _ | any epoch. When this story is drama- New York, Oct. 31.-——Whatever else may be said about the women of to- day and their -awful errors ‘in the way of fashions and-frivolities, one thing:is certain—and:it’s a:thing for which:the world:should send up.a cry of thanksgiving; they no longer cul- tivate “nerves.” For instance, there is Evelyn Hope Taylor. When'she en- tered her apartment at 541 East 171st. -street, the other evening:she ran:into a burglar. She thought right off-hand that he was a burglar, . but her “nerves” didn’t lead her to scream that knowledge to his face. She'spoke “quite casualiy, as though strange men were in the habit of wandering about, her home, and when he told her he had seen a burglar in the apartment and had come to get’him, she thanked him ‘as prettily ag could be and:asked her to help herlook through the place. He did this and made no protest when she asked him ifhe’d ‘mind going down the cellar wil r to complete the search, Wheu igot -him down there, she opened:ithe..doox to the superintendent’s office,“shoved himin; and locked the- doof after him. Even a.burglar. can -admire ‘nerve. All ‘he said ‘when he saw her next,: chaper- oned by a policeman, ‘was “Yon ‘win, kid. T lose.” ~ g B s i Then, in the same calny class is Mrs. Maxwell Miller, swhose home at Hollis, Long Island, has been infested with a perfect dfové of snakes, come from.ho one knows where. , ‘“Mrs. Miller killed eight the. other day, sxplained her husband, in a matter of fact way, “and we'¥e doing a pretty good job today too. No we don’t mind them—much. Of course they -are somewhat of a nuisance, but they will go away pretty soon. They have comie | every fall for three years. We don’t know why. Before this siege of snakes Mrs. Miller used to be very nervous. Now hen nerves are as perfect as could be.” The climax of .magnificence seems at Tast to have beencreached in the motion picture world; although we have thought that hefore and learned t doesn’t seem possible, though, that ‘any ‘production ' could: exceed “Theodora,” brought to this country by the Goldwyn company. The story itseTf ‘of 'this daughter of a lion tamer who rose to be empress of the Roman Empire as Justinian’s wife, is drama cpough to satisfy any -audience -of tized as ‘only the picture with their scenic possihilitics far outreaching those of any! stage, and -when it is adapted from Victorien - Sardou’s drama, -it-is-unnedessayy to relate triumph. The picture:has. been pro duced with more. regard .for history than one expects in drama’ but with absolutely no regard for costs. There re more sets, more animals; -more ction, ‘more gorgeougness than have ever been put into a screening before; and the producers have not made the mistake of letting all this take the place of good acting 'and good ‘drama.: er Lucy Jeanmrice Rita Jolivet as Theodora is by herself worth any picture 1 ever saw, and there are true’ dramatic thrills in | found to.come within the proy every inch of the film. Maybe all this gounds as . though I-am centhusiastic about “Theodora,” ‘and. I certainly am. I am sorry that we didn't do the whole thing over | just to brag about. But I am glad an’ American producer brought it over. May Yokhe! <Eady Franeis Hope! Somehow theé -name scunds like an ccho from=a past so -far behind that it’s legendary.

And here she is back in the spot- lights, singing in a New York cabaret. | s Twice-every ‘evening sheigoes on the program, and a good ‘many 'of the “old, timers”. gather around to hear her; for-the spirit, if not the voice, of a youngster is still there. ‘have ‘money “to ¥ide in Geording to the iannounge- mernt e corporationof taxilopers ators insthis ¢ity, which has/just dis: ¥ third monthly bonys of $2,000-toits driyers.
