AMUSEMENTS. Something of Julia Marlowe N the early years of her struggle for recognition in the theater, like all human beings, Julia Mariowe dreamed of the things she would do when there was the money and the time to do them. Her career has won her the money, and she has realized uifs she herself must make the time. This summer the Sotherns will spend mevera! weeks at St. Moritz, in Switzer- land, where they have taken a villa Harc Miss Marlowe will have her own oftablishment. She has a passion for homes. They will take a carload of books. of tapestries, of fayorite four- poster beds, of handmade silver, linens and rugs. To see these in their proper place is her great joy. Kvery day she will take a somewhat Strenuous moun- tain walk. She reads a great deal and she shops a little. When the summer is over she will go to Paris for a brief fall season to make the rounds of the theaters. She is a great admirer of the famous Comedie Francaise, and many nights she will spend watching these actors. In the daytime she will visit the famous stores. for she has a woman's deliht in hopping, whether she buys anything or not. She does not entertain much nor does she accept much entertain- Wales and MW ALES” says Sybil Vane. the Welsh coloratura, “is the land song.

NIVERSAL PICTURES CORPORA to a says. chosen tres vocat 2dvanced turn TION, through its president, Carl | Laemmle, in Universal City, has made an offer of a million dollar contract for Jack Dempsey's services in pic tures. Confirmation of this offer, it is an- nounced, was made by officials of the company at 1600 Broadway. In an- swer to a query based on the rumor along Broadway that Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, had re- ceived such an offer, Carl Laemmle, in Universal City, wired his New York office as follows: “Ofter to Dempsey correct. Think biggest bet in pictures today. Offer sent to manager, New York. Kearns wires me he will leave Monday for Los Angeles to discuss proposition. (Signed) “CARL LAEMMLE" Until the offer is accepted the New York office is not in a position to say in what manner. Mr. Laemmle intends to use Dempsey. Several screen sto- ries have been discussed. Enter New Style Vamp. O, the vamp of other days—she is no mors! She has slinked her tghtly draped body, topped by a shiny head, into the wings, and the sprightly, flapperish creature, brimful of “pep,” holds the center of the stage in Cinema Land. Margaret Livingston, in ““Wander- ing Husbands,” brings to the screem one of those new vamps in a novel and decidedly interesting character interpretation of that age-old menace to married life—the “other woman.” The new vamp a sort of Eva Tanguay type—an “I-don’t-care” girl, thoughtless, hilarious, heedless and full of endless chatter. She isn't tragic, she isn't mysteri- ous, she isn't melodramatic, and when it is all over she isn't consumed with remorse—she just laughs herself on to the next episode of her butterfly existence. She is nothing that we have learned to expect a vamp to be. She laughs when it is plainly the time for silence, and she hides neither her emotions nor her motives. She is just very real.

Julia Mariowe loves beautiful clothes. It is dificult for her to resist a gown which appeals to her. And she seldom resists it, but seldom does she wear it once she has purchased it. She seems to be satisfied with the knowledge that she has the dresses and contents her- self with wearing a single modest one- piece dress day after day. Brown is a favorite color with her. But on the stage she revels in clothes, for her stage wardrobe probably is un rivaled by any actress now before the public. The Shakespeare plays permit a lavish display of color, of fashion, of many varieties of cloths. Julia Mariowe is & woman of simple tastes. She has positive opinions about things that matter. She declines to worry about things that don't — Her art always has come first in her iife. She has given evervthing to it. She wears no jewelry oft stage, but on stage she uses all that her character should digplay. She is particularly fond of handmade silver chatns of unique de- sign, and she will spend days and weeks hunting out just the right thing. She cares ubout nothing that is not distine- tive. It must always be the best, and that is why she Is never content to act in any plays other than those of Shakespeare. ne of the features of these choral societies, and the one through which Miss Vane first found herself on the road to success, is the competitions. In addition to singing in chorus, sev- eral members of the organization will sing in solo, competing with each other for first place. Then the win ner will compete with the winner of another organization, and so on until the two semi-final winners meet In the “national.” Miss Vane, who began to sing In these contests when she was but five years old, achieved local fame by winning in her own organization, then in many others and fnally in the “national” The attention of a wealthy patron of the arts was di- |rected to this talented girl and he |=ent her to London to study under Mme. Clara Novello Davies, England's Ereat singing teacher. Her career in England was moving steadily on- ward, until It was checked by the war. ' Then she came to America. “It was the American public,” Miss Vane says, “who really made me, for {in England, although they admitted }1 could sing. they wouldn't pay me more than $50 a wee!

Woody, general manager of Associated Exhibitors, of the purchase of all rights to *The Chechahcos,” the first motion picture ever made in Alaska. More than two years were required for the work, and it is said to be real- 1y a history of the great noru:m(-' ern country. Capt. Austin E. Lathrop and Lewis E. Moomaw have been in New York for two months negotiating with Paramount, First National and the Associated ' Exhibitors, The deal by which the latter organization gets sole rights is said to involve approxi- mately a half million dollars.

Americans are accustomed to being shown musical ' productions from Berlin and Vienna, but now the ta- bles are to be turned. “Little Jessie James” is to be given this summer in those capitals, and will be the first home piece so honored.

That is the claim of Rupert Hughes, author-director, who deals with the problems of the woman in business in his latest production, “True as Steel.” Hughes declares: *“The woman who has her home, her children and her husband should not be deprived of these simply because she wants her independence. Why should she be forced to spend her life between four walls doing things she can pay some one to do equally well? “If she has ability, it should not b shut out from the world.” Hughes declares the old theory of the sanctity of the home being wrecked once the woman becomes & breadwinner is bunk. “Like most traditions,” he declares, “this is all thin air. We talk abcut the beautiful days when mother and father spent every evening &t home and the boys and girls never stepped out to go to the movies, ag being an ideal existence. “If such a condition had_existed it would have been ideal. But young people were just as restless then as they are now. Going to the movies furnishes an outlet for thelr energy. We had just as many people breaking | the laws and smashing the conven- tions then as we have now, only then crime was laid at the door of the nickel libraries the boys used to sneak into the house and read.

His parents decided that Carl had a taste for music, and when he was old enough to torture the neighborhood he was given music lessons.

Old age is a quiet harbor, sur- rounded by a calm sea and a beauti- ful vista. It should not be dreaded, but should be looked forward to as the most pleasant time of life.
