That's the reason the Hudson river came down to flow under the Dnve — so that it could look up and see Mrs. Kaufman occasionally. It does that every spring; she blushes, and the ice melts. "This," said the editor, handing a bunch of photographs to the art director, "is to be an illumination of the Kaufmans at home." The art director began fussing with the pictures. "No mere husband, whatever his fame or accomplishments," said he, "should be allowed to muss up such an exquisite feminine setting. Blow your cornet for Mr. Kaufman in 'Shadow Stage' as you will — he's not going to get in here I" So that's why you behold only the Kaufman controlling interest on these pages. It may be difficult for you to see Mrs. Kaufman under any other conditions. She is not at all bashful before a camera, but in real life she's 'he shyest schoolgirl who ever stammered "Thank you!" when some two-hundred pounder stepped on her toe. Her thick silk-skeins of hair are ihe only copper strands in the world which refuse to tarnish. The copper trust is said to have offered her a million for the secret. She has two cars — a limousine and a roadster — and she drives them both very well through New York's streets. She is probably the most accomplished musician among all the camera's women, being a piano virtuoso of extraordinary technique and unusual repertoire. Plays of domesticity are her favorite dramas for acting. 39
