Yet, granting all this, Kitty Conover is unusual, to say the least. She gives the lie to that scorn- ful phrase, “a nervous woman," so often on masculine lips ) be sur she is somewhat upset by the tale of the two big emeralds said to have been set in drumheads and brought here from Russia by an erstwhile Prince, but then you know how jew- els affect most women. It is when desperate Bolshevists pursue these emeralds that Kitty distinguishes her- self. Warned by her her, Secret Service agent, that she’ is Ii ing in a dangerous east side flat, Kitty doesn't go to a nice, safe hote No, indeed! Fearless and alone, she ies herself to her humble lodging and gets busy with the ice box, blind to skulking shadows on the fire-escape Naturally, she is a bit startled when a shabby looking stranger comes through the window. But she gives him a glass of milk and a sandwich, and when he leaves like a gentleman, though by the window, she's as cool as her ice box. Rut it is after he is carried back senseless from a beating and then lugged off on a stretcher in charge of a highly susceptible doctor that Kitty, alone once more, Proves to be no less than amazing Stretching herself on a lounge, she calmly proceeds to read a magazine. ‘A moment later she is snoozing as comfortably as you please, only to be rudely awakened, as micht be ex- pected, by an ill-favored Bolshevist She seems to be in for a bad night, byt fortunately the Secret Service man, with overalls to keap his eve- ming clothes immaculate, comes to her aid, and again she acts as though nothing had happened. In fact, Kitty YOU TELL 'EM. What's a Mapper? Sounds simple, doesn't it? But that question, like Hamlet's “To be or not to be,” has caused a lot of commotion. ‘The storm-centre of said commotion is directly over and within the Pyr- amid Studios, The whole thing started when the script of their next film, “The lap- Per,” failed to state just what a Flap- per really ts. And 80 they have started several already hard-worked writers on the task of evolving a prologue for the picture. The prologue will be known as “The Origin of the Flapper.” And it ought to be good, They should have asked us for some dope! And, boy, it would have been SOME dope! EXPERIENCES. The great Southwest held some in- teresting experiences for barnstorming ‘Thespians in the eighties—or at least, 8 opines Theodore Roberts, the vet- eran character man, now acting for Paramount. “We were going out of a town in Northern Texas one afternoon,” said Roberts. “The scenery was piled up ‘on the station platform. A blow came along and the scenery was hoisted a mile and a half. We picked a ‘liv- ing room’ out of a cornfield and our ‘ofMflce set’ was jauntily astride the steeple of a crossroads church. But we gave the show that night. Those were the days of real acting experi- CURIOSITY. The writer of the following letter signed her name to it, but the signa- ture makes no difference. We are simply publishing the letter to show the curious interest taken in film personalities by folks who do not know them: “I am a Priscilla Dean fan. Tho other day a friend of mine told me she had read that Miss Dean's apart- ment caught fire. Unfortunately she did not read any more and I shall not rest in peace until I find out all about it and whether she was seriously burned or not. Would it be too much to ask you to let me have all particulars about her? You will be doing me a great favor by so doing, es I should never forgive myself if anything happened to her and I did mot know about it." As far as we can learn the fair Priscilla isn't half as much inter- ested or excited over her recent slight scorching during a studio flare-up as her friend from East 78th Street. But we hope the letter writer will rest in peace—now that she “knows ‘ail about it. NOT A NATIVE.
