Count that day lost whose flickering arc lights see not at least a motion-picture and a stage engagement in store for Doris Kenyon.
HAVE you heard the latest about Romeo and Juliet?" Fanny demanded excitedly, strewing mesh bag, vanity case, gloves, and veil hither and yon over the tea table.
"I thought they were dead long ago," I commented between bites of a muffin. "Anyway that old scandal is as stale as Conway Tearle's first divorce suit." Fanny simply glared at me. "You're silly enough when you just act natural. Don't force yourself. You know what I meant. Have you heard that Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess are going to play 'Romeo and Juliet,' and they are going to make it in Italy in the spring? Won't they be simply ideal?"

"Doris Kenyon, of course. Don't act as though you didn't know. And that reminds me, the literary atmosphere follows Doris wherever she goes. She has been working in 'Restless Wives' — I'll admit that doesn't sound any too literary, and when she went down to Port Washington to make
location scenes, she discovered that she was going to worl< on the estate of Ethel Watts Mumford.
