She is their country’s greatest tragedienne, intimate friend and con- federate of Carmen Sylvia. “I look with wonder on the care and attention that is given them from their earliest childhood. I see your schools and the way you make opportunities for them, and each time I visit my own people it all revelts me.” Playing in “Medea.” Madame Barsescu is playing in “Medea,” playing it in English in Jacob Adler’s little eople’s theater on the Bowery, which always gathers within its walls perhaps the most emo- tionally vibrant audience of any in New York. I found her in the midst of a re- hearsal. (Is there any possible way of preventing the rehearsing of Greek drama in shirt sleeves .and tan‘ored suits?) Personal Ambition. “Why I play in English?” she laughs merrily. “I think it is chiefly a ques- tion of personal ambition. Rumanian is naturally my native tongue, but I have played with Joseph Kainz in Vienna in German, with Coquelin in Paris in French—and now that I am in America I mean to play only in Eng- lish, although I have only been here a nd Give Them a Voice f Country g0 on the stage today?"’ I asked her. “By all means,” she says emphati- cally, “always provided they have suf- ficient talent to permit thereof. I think all this talk of the dangers of the theatrical profession is so stupid. There are no more temptations for the women of the theater than those of any other walk in life. . “The stage is to me the most splen- did of all the schools of life. It teaches perfect self-control, all that is beauti- ful in life—how to work hard and be interested in others: besides your own little person. What ‘eise would you have?” she says in her beautiful Eng- lish, with the tiniest trace of an accent to enhance the charm of the ring of her voice. ¥ Father Rumanian General. “For me it was a terribly difficult beginning. My father was a general in the Rumanian army and at the time I decided on my career—I was a child of fourteen—my uncle was min- ister of war, and all my relatives at court. To have one of us go on the stage seemed quite the most terrible disgrace that could befall our name,” she laughed, “‘but I stuck out and after studying in Vienna I came back with a contract from the Burg theater— the greatest of distinctions—and they became a little reconciled, I may even say proud of me. I suppose I was really the first of the so-called society women of Europe to think of acting.” Colony Americanized. She went on to tell of the little col- ony of her compatriots here, and how she finds them Americanized to a mar- vear. Then, too, it is better for my people. They should learn to speak the language of their adoption. I am playing for them first because they know me—and they love me—and on the West Side I should come a stran- ger.” Certainly it is not difficult to imagine her the idol of this little colony of warmhearted people in a strange land. Has Notable Career. She speaks lovingly of her career and successes. Of how at sixteen she had her first contract with the Burg theater of Vienna, then the art center of the whole world—and her career from that time on one long triumph of the big European capitals. “1 left Vienna,” she says, “to go to Rumania for a short time to play for Carmen Sylva in the beautiful works she was then writing. 1 remember so well the first performance of her play, ‘Ullranda’—the first she ever produced. The king and all the court were present—a, wonderful evening— the beginning of my great friendship with our queen. ., After that she would telegraph for me to come to her from all parts of the earth—and how glad- 1y I came!” she sighs, and her eyes be- ¢ome dim/with remembrance. Stage for Young Girls. vellous degree after even a year’s resi- dence, changed and presperous! Madame Barsescu notices a great difference between the modern Ameri- can woman and those of .Rumania. The Rumanian woman of today is still a mere wife and mother, and suffrage a subject she has hardly heard dis- cussed at all. The men of her coun- try still rule supreme, but she is of the opinion that the war will greatly change this state of affairs—for the lack of men will make women of primary importance. ‘War Is Horrible. “Horrible, horrible this war,” she says, “I dare not think of my country fighting Austria, which saw the dawn of my art. How could T side with one against the other? Could Rumania only keep out of it!" She cannot conceive the attitude of the people of Europe, individually. so closely allied by every tie in these days of travel and intermarriage—speaking and thinking of each other in such bit- ter hatred. She goes on to say that Bucharest seems now to be the temporary capital of fashion and luxury in KEurope— much as Paris has always been. Those who still have a heart for gayety and enjoyment seem to be congregat- “Would you advise young girls to ——— genial roles and promise an excellentl Dresentation of the play.

THE CHARM OF MOTHERHOOD Enhanccd‘gy Perfect Physi- - cal Heaith. | The experience of Motherhoodis a try- ing one to most women and marks dis- tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her- self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such _times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over 1 her system has received a shock from | which it is hard to recover. Following | right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinet | change in the mother results. 1 dramatic situations, love and hatred, intermixed with an abundance of hilariously funny situaifons which blend in admirably well. 1In conjunc- tion with this most noteworthy pro- duction the third chapter of “The Goddess,” the serial beautiful, with Anita Stewart and Earle Williams, will also be shown today and tomor- row. This continued story not only contains all the elements of suspense, action and fine dramatic climaxes but has as its leads such stellar lights as previously mentioned which alone grand for the highest there is in:the art of motion picture acting. Aug- menting the two features, there will be shown today’s Pathe News with its current events. This always interest- ing and much looked forward to at- traction appears on Mondays and Tuesdays. An excellent comedy reel adding much variety ang diversity to ‘the evenly balanced list of attractions will be on the program today. for the his Weds Hig Own Prisoner.

A pretty touch of color Is given the white blouse by smocking done in colored silk, and collar and cuffs matching the silk in color. Some of the new stockings have circles of brilliant color running around, about three inches apart; and cn the sides are clocks running up.
