I am -Quits sure it would be more impressive. I raise this point simply because. I happened to go to a dance last night, and for the first time chanced to no-' tic how women went up and down stairs, particularly up. - Women who, In the drawing- room and on the dance floor, appeared at their best, full of natural grace and poise, presented positively pitiful spec tacles while ascending the staircase. Here are some of. the commonest faults: - 1. Bending far forward, so the hips are thrown out in back. . 2. Swinging the arms aa they climbed. ' 3. "Pumping", with the arms out in front of them. - 4. Clutching the banister and lean in sr heavily upon it. , 5. Neglecting to lift up the dress in front, but kicking it aside with each step. 6. Swinging from eide to side. 7. Mounting, with a peculiar side motion. That is, half-turning aside as the foot is placed on the step. 8. Stopping upon each step. 9. Making obvious hard work of it. 10. Running with a peculiar see saw motion. This last is meant, I be lieve, to be a light tripping step. Far from it. I am not exaggerating at all. I saw all these things. If you watch a stair way for some little time, you will see them all, and more too.

In the wonderful photo-drama pro ductions of "Quo Vadis" which is the attraction .at the Park theatre all this week is a scene showing a number of lions advancing across a wide arena toward a despairing group of men, women and children. The picture is one of the most thrilling in the play. Lions let loose on defenseless people! Impossible! 4They would tear them to pieces. The picture itself gives this Impression, for in one part the lions are seen among a heap of what looks like mahgled bodies. As a matter of fact no one was hurt, although the lions advanced to within a few yatds of the group. This picture il lustrates the advantages the camera has over the eye in the matter of spectacular scenes. It would, be im possible to show this scene on the stage, but the camera can so' deceive the eye that it is unable to detect between , seeming and actual occur rence. W.- J. Faulkner explains how this . picture was made. The lions used for the scene belonged to a party of lion tamers, some of whom were In the group of people to be attacked. While some of the tamers drove the lions forward, themselves out of the range of the camera, other tamers stood in the group, ready with revolv ers to frighten the beasts. , At the critical moment the revolvers were fired, all but one of the lions bolted the one having to be driven away the camera was stopped, and the arena cleared. . Then dummy bodies were scattered about the camera, the lions were driven to the spot, and the cam era was set to work again. By dex terously cutting the film and Joining it the transition in the picture from the advance of the lions to the death of the victims seemed to the eye short that it, was impossible to detect the actual break, which really occu pied some hours. The illusion was made all the more perfect by showing pictures of the audience watching with apparent enjoyment th6 scenes Sup posed to be going on in the arena. EMPIRE Two feature pictures at this theatre today. The- first picture of the new "Mary" series entitled ""A Proposal From the Duke." Miss Mary . Fuller probably the greatest favorite among the picture fans, plays the role of Mary. In this story, which is pro duced in collaboration with "The La dies' World," appearing In the August number, Mary's fortune looms up large in the eyes of a penniless Ital ian Duke who dazzles her by his hero ism In rescuing her from a tire-set by a bribed stableman. A real accident shows the Duke'B true character and places Mary under obligations to an army officer. The second feature is in two parts, entitled . "A Dash f or Iiib- We p V.
