All three are needed in equal proportion to produce a well poised, harmonious human being.” Mrs. Davis pleads that people shall each realize their own place in the universe, which to her is a co-oper- ative concern; that they shall live each in the place in which they fit, with- out discontent or grumbling. “To me life is simply a training school,” she says dreamily. ‘“Abso- lutely do I believe in immortality and the cycles beyond.” We spoke of her future work, and of her play, “The Guilty Man,” to be praoduced in the early autumn; of how she had waited two years for its pro- duction and how it dealt with the poignant problem of illegitimacy. Accuse The Modern Woman. Did she feel strongly about this? Fervently she replied that she did, and when I suggested that women vot- ers might have a little future influ- ence herein, she looked at me with suspicious eye, replying that she ab- solutely would not talk with me on this vexed question of the feminine vote, and I desisted. She accused the modern woman un- der the new regime of masculinizing herself. “I would like to see the sentimen- tality of our grandmothers coupled with the intelligence brought by edu- cation to girls today,” she smiling stated, ‘“and I simply cannot see why we could not have that combination. “Genius Will Out.” “Not that I consider the American education of today by any manner of means perfect. How can an abso- lutely uniform education do anything but kill individuality ? And assured- ly are our schools doing this to the youth of today.” Did she think that much genius went astray in the hard struggle of life? ‘‘Genius will out,” she answered me, “and nothing will repress it. - Every one is born to his own sphere, and we all fulfil the destiny to which we were born. Let those with aspira- tions wait—their time will come.” As I sat back in hor beauttful limousine on my way to the station I pondered. Didn’t it seem a little easy for Miss Davis, surrounded from early youth by every luxury, to issue such a phil- Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY.IMANTON 8778 Girl's Coat, 8 to 12 years.

The Belasco comedy will head the photo-play pro- gram. The popular comedienne wiil again be seen in the principal role.

EXCEPTIONAL CAST IN “TWIN BEDS” Local theatre-goers will have an opportunity to see “Twin Beds” The Laugh Festival by Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo to which New York paid the tribute of a fifty-two weeks run, in its best possible inter- pretation when Selwyn and Company present this wholesome rollicking farce at the ILyceum. on Wednesday evening with an exceptionally able cast of comedians. “Twin Beds"” tells the story of three couples who live in a fashionable big apartment house, with apartments di- rectly above each other, who iesgin by being merely nelghborly, end by loathing the neighborliness they can- not escape, and finally move to an- other part of town, only to discover that their troubles are trailing them with a Burns-like persistency, The acts of comedians selected by Selwyn & Co., are the best.
