SIGHTS.SEEN AND UNSEEN IN GOTHAM (Glimpses of Little O1d New York | Are Intepesting | By The Assoclated Press. ; In the street, it not in the drawing | room, policemen and men of wealth | aré on common terms. It i3 not un- usual to see a well-dressed man of culturéd beafing stop to chat with a | Dbluecoat and pass on with a wave of walking-stick while the policeman touches the bfim of his cap. . Differences in smoking tastes are recognized by New Yorkers who fre- ently have callers. American cig- arettes usually are kept handy even if the host prefers Turkish, English, Prench, or some other kind. One theatrical producer smokes a popular | brand of domestic cigarette but | kceps gold-tipped fags for visitors | vho might be used to them. 1 Some of the more intimate night | clubs protect their guests against ¢mbarrassing encounters. The maitre d'hotel of one has been trained to | recoghize the frequenters and when | the spouse of a gliest appears at the door, the latter is warned so that he | can disappear or at least separate from his companion of the evening. The proprietor says that occasionally a woman will appear with a male escort while her husband is in the | place with a woman companion, and vice versa. An effort is made to pre- vent the couples from meeting. | Supplying work horses with water | continues to be an important task.

This con- ductor rides an early train, most of the passengers on which wear heavy, stained working shoes. Four of these | passengers disguished themselves in | holiday makeup at Christmas time, went through the train calling them- selves “Jerry and his Gang,” and col- | lactad the money. With “Old Tronsides,” “Tell It To The Marines,” “The Fire Brigade,” | “The Big Parade” and “What Price | Glory” on Broadway, it seems to be glorification season. The old frigate Constitutioh and early naval heroes, the marine corps, fire departments of ths country, and the army share the lidnors. New. York soclety has grown three tirhes as fast as the metropolis’ | population in the last four decades. | The Soctal Register of 1887 compris- | od under 3,000 names, against 30,- | 000 in the issue just published.

SOCIETY TAKES PLACE ON SCREEN Lady Pel of England Recently Did Comedy Hollyweed, Cal, Jan. 14 (A — Dramatic talents of gentle birth no longer blush upon the drawing-room air unseen. They are cast upon the movle sereen in full view of the mul- titude. Soclety and nobility are contribut- ing to the picture ranks, especially since the war made refugees of some titled personages. Lady Peel, the wife of Sir Robert | Peel, made a film comedy. Off the lot she is a British peeress; during working hours an actress. As the lat- ter®she is professionally known as Beatrice Lillle. Matio Carillo 1s the nom-de-cine- ma of the son of Filipe Caracciolo, Duke of Mileti, and scion of an an- clent family of Naples, in “Torrent” and “The Barrier.” He, too, keeps his identities apart. Barons and Generals Wilhelm Von Brincken, technical expert, actor, and res first came to America as military consular attache for Germany, years ago. He bore the title of baron and the commission of lieutenant. The war took away his job and he gave up his title to beecome an American citizen. General Theodore Lodijensky was once commander of the Russian | perial Guard, bodyguard of the czar. The war and revolution sent him from his native land, a fugitive. To- | day he may be found as technical | expert. There are a number of others in plctures who claim connection with | nobility., They include Nathalie Ko- vanko, Russian actress, and Tour- janskl, Russian director.

Less Whiskey Being Consumed by Scotch Glasgow, Scotland, Jan. 14 (P— The continued decline in consump- tion of whiskey has induced the Scotch distillers to cast about for fresh sources of revenue.
