Marion Davies Demonstrates In
Intrepid Manner That She

At Histrionic, Nature.
ONE of th? moat daring and
adventurous feata that Ma

formed for the screen' will be
aeen In her latest picture. "The
Young Diana," a Marie Corelll
atory, Which opens a four-day en
gagemen tat Loew'a Palace today.
Ml8b Davlea Ilea impended twen
ty feet In the air on a frail glass
platform vibrating over a large
revolving sphere of brilliant light.
The situation la one of the most
thrilling ever screened. This

where Miss Davlea, In her char
acter of Diana May, submits her
self to a hazardous experiment
for the rea to ration of lost youth
and beauty. Diana May haa be

ed. 8he hears of a Dr. Feodor
Dimitrlus who seeks a brave wo
man to undergo a process* that
will either make her dasxllngly
beautlful or result In her death.
Dr. Dimitrlus' delving Into ab
atruae sciences and his uncanny
doings In his laboratory have
made him feared by the natives
In the little Swiss community In
which he lives.
This laboratory is striking In Its
construction. The rigorousnea* of
? its lines lends a quiet and digni
fied atmosphere In which one
could well Imagine that experl
L ments to revolutionise all of hu- ?
?man society might easily and
readily be accomplished.
There is a large steel furnace
Cn one side of the domed and
gloomy chamber. This furnace Is
fitted with all kinds of queer dials,
^Wheels and valves. An eerie
light Issues from It. The labo
ratory haa one eliding window
In the dome like that of an as
tronomical observatory. The
daylight Is filtered through a
queer, many-faceted crystal prism.
Gleaming tubes, shedding greenish
' rays, add to the creepy effect.
"Suddenly a wicked electric spark
darts halfway across the scene.
From a trapdoor, when it is
time for the momentous experi

Waiter Scurries
When Thurston
Grows Playful
A FEW nights ago a serious
looking young man took t
?eat at one of George i
tables in the main dining room of
I the Auditorium Hotel in Chicago.
I George, by the way, Is the old
[ est and best-known eplored waiter
at that famous hostelry. The
guest might have been taken for
a doctor or a lawyer, or. with
a collar of a slightly different
cut, for a clergyman. The smil
ing old negro approached him
and put down a glass of water ]
and then turned to get the neces
sary table wars.
"t aay waiter." called the diner,
' "do you usually serve fish in
the drinking water?"
To George's amarement two
tiny gold fish were swimming
about in the tumbler he had Just
placed on the table.
"I auttlnly don' know ho^y dat
happened, boss." said the aston
ished nefro. "I'll take >m right
away."
| With trembling hands he re
moved the glass #ith the fish to
the pantry and brought another
one. making sure this time that
there were no fish in It. He aat
It down before the young man
and started to move away again,
when he was recalled by a sharp
note of repraach.
"Walter. I did not order wine.
Take this away at once. I never
drink wine. It is bad for my
nerves."
With bulging eyes the waiter
?tared at the glassful of wine.
He was sure he had put It there
filled with water only a second
ago. Where could the wine ha?e
I come from?
"I wish you would take Jt
I awar." continued the diner calmly
but firmly. "It makes me see
things tfcat do not exist; for in
stance. that pigeon In your back
pocket."
"Aa he spoke he reached out
and apparently took a very ac
tive whits pigeon out of George's
I hip pocket, which he attempted
to hand to the badly scared
Ethiopian.
I With 'k screech of terror old
George fled to Manager John
Calvey, declaring. "D? ols debbll
hlsaelf Is In de'fflnlng room!" His
fright was so real that the man
ager decided to Investigate the
cause of his fears. He took Just
ona look and began to laughx
heartily.
"It's only Thurston, the mad
dan, working up an appetite rei

curious crowd that had gathered.

ONE dark night, mom ten or
sixteen years no, a young
man might have been ob
Hervnd walking hurriedly weatward
along Orand atreet, New York
city.
Aa he turned Into the Bowery a
voice hailed him with:
"Where are you going, Eddie?"
"It'a amateur night at Miner's,"
retorted our hero, and hurried on.
He'waa Edward Cantor, Eaq., tak
ing the atep that waa to glv* the

Eddie won the prise at Mlner'a
that night, and .from an amateur
at Miner's he
?oared Into the

Edward Cantor, atar of "Make It
Snappy," which comet to Poll'a
Theater next Sunday night, De
cember 17, became a alnging
waiter! Eddie hlmaelf estimates
he had served scarcely twelve
darka and alx lights when two gen
tlemen walked Into the cafe in the
same mysterious manner that Mr.
Cantor walked Into the first para
graph of this story.
The gentlemen In question ware
Messrs. Bedlnl and Arthur, of the
Hammerateln vaudeville circuit.
"Who Is that gink?" one asked.
And Eddie waa forthwith Sum
moned to Join the vaudeville team
of Bedlnl and Arthur.
Aa Cantor one day steered his
check suit around the corner of
Forty-second street he bumped
Into a tall man who presented his
card. Can you imagine Eddie's
astonishment when be read the
name of Flo ZiegfsM?
Well, Cantor was invited to ap
pear on the Ziegfeld roof for one
night. Just to show whaf he could
do. Eddie came and conquered.
Then one day, hearing that the
doings downstairs In the New
Amsterdam Theater were even
better, he ran down and again
lapsed Into a state of complete
hypnosis, which lasted (Or three
seasons In the Zeigfeld "Follies."
Our hero is now famous, and
there Is little to record. For
seventy-five weeks he toured the
country under the management
of .the Messrs. Shubert to the
biggest business ever recorded by
a new road star.
What did the Shuberta do to
regard so profitable a servitor?
They made Eddie a full-fledged
star, the duties of which hs Is

Peg's OF Clothes

| *
Theatergoers who recall
with pleasure the stags suc
cess of Laurette Taylor In
"Peg o* My Heart" Will doubtless
be Interested to know that in
bringing the great story to the
screen. Miss Taylor wears the
same quaint dresses, hata and
shoes that became almost as fa
mous as Chaplin's ragamuffin
. make-up,' during Mips Taylor's
engagement in "Peg" on the
stage.
"Peg o' My Heart." Incidentally,
was first produced in Los ^11
geles, the Western city that sees
the debut of so many of our latsr
stage sued esses, and whan 'Teg
o' My Heart" had finished its
Western engagement. Miss Tay-_
lor had a whole neVr oqtflt made
so she could put away as a keep
sake the costume she had worn
in Los Angeles.
Later on, when Miss Taylor
arranged to do "Peg" for the
screen, she found that the sec
ond st^ge costume was missing,
and rather than have a third
outfit made, she dragged forth
from the mothballs the costume
she had put away as a remem
brance. One of these dresses is
of blue serge, very shabby and
a terrible fit. The hat 1s a plain,
old-fashioned affair, trttnmsd with
a few flowers. But, like Chap
lin's famous run-oVer shoes, the
very shabbtness of Miss Taylor's
costume la the thing that makes
It historic.
Ths. picture will be presented
to Washington for the first time
this afternoon at LoeWs Colum

I1ISS LAWRENCE
HAS HOBBY FOR
OLD PLAYS
Star of New Play, "Secret*,"
at-National Tomorrow, Has
One of Fineet Manuscript
Collections'in Existence.
Perhaps one of the busiest
actressss on the American
?tag* Is Margaret Lawrence,
who la being starred by *8am H
Hards In the new play, "Secret*."
at the National Theater, beginning
tomorrow. Aa an Illustration.
Miss Lawrence, who Is socially
prominent, also esrves on the ad
visory boards of many charitable
organisations. In private life Mis*
Lawrence is Mrs. Orson D. Munn.
8he Is the mother of two beautiful
children.
Tet she finds time for hobbies.
Her moet precious hobby Is collect
ing old plays. She Is said to have
'one of the moat complete libraries
of this kind In New York.
"Energy Is like love in on* re
spect," says Miss Lawrence. "The*
more one gives the more one has
to give. I believe In many activi
ties. They round out a life; they
keep It from falling In a groove.
I don't like people who live one
life aa It were. I have no patience
either with many people who com
plain that they haven't time for
this or t?at. A few haven't, of
course, because of the circumstanc
es of their lives, but there la Infi
nite time for everything for most
of us. Enthuslaam finds time; in
difference loses U."
Miss Lawrence believes that
woman's place la the plaee her
brains and energy make for her.
It may be the home, It may bo the
stage. It may be both. Ability,
like money, makes many places for
Itself. Strangely enough, or per
haps not atrmngely at all, Mies
Lawrence comes from a Quaker
home where tradition of domes
ticlty for women waa strongly In
trenched. Her husband, however,
share* her conviction that talent
waa meant to b* used in the proper
direction. Certainly Mis* Law
