And she refused to wear tights or even short skirts. "What right has she?" demanded one of the feline sex. "Probably not a very good one or she'd show it," replied a slick-haired wit who has a fine appreciation of art, but no chin. When Theda Bara played "Cleopatra," we thought there was really nothing left to see. But now comes the announcement that "The Queen of Sheba" will make "Cleopatra" look like an Eskimo. No expense will be spared in costumes. In fact, there won't be any to spare, except for a nice coat of talcum powder. Doraldina now has a place in the photoplay. She has gone West, and her grass skirt was shipped after. She reports that most of the straw was broken off in shipment, but no one ever gets cold in California, so it doesn't matter. Doraldina declares that emotion is not expressed by the eyes. She says the hips are far more expressive. In the words of the song, every little movement has a meaning all its own. If this be true, there'll be lots of meaning in Doraldina's work. And it will not be hidden or suggestive. Doraldina is explicit. Griffith can no longer claim the greatest novelty and improvement in matter of closeups. Julius Stern of L-Ko comedies now takes the silk hose. "Why, at L-Ko they don't take close-ups of your face," exclaimed a picture novice. "They take 'um of your ankles." Nor will Cecil de Mille have anything on Julius. "Look at all the bath tubs we got now," said M. Stern, proudly showing his studio to visitors. "De Mille pictures have nothing on L-Ko comedies, which are not to be laughed at." The most original' twist, however, of the new garterless photodrama was that situation in "Why Change Your Wife," when Thomas Meighan fell in love with his first wife upon beholding her leg. If she hadn't worn a bathing suit without an awning, she would never have won her husband back to the fireside. As it was, we had the modern idea of a happy ending, the maids pushing the twin beds together. Only the other day, a young lady who was an inveterate picture fan, strolled into the lobby of a San Francisco hotel, dressed in a way that made the blind men drop their tin cups and take off their glasses. She was all dressed up a la Gloria at the bath. The only part of her costume which Nature hadn't designed wan the hairpins. She said she was "Truth." But Truth unadorned has no place in 'Frisco life, so she was thrown into jail. Perhaps in time the photoplay will free her by educating people to the idea of Truth. Already pictures have eliminated one evil. Those immoral carnival attractions advertised "For Men Only" are no more. They couldn't do any business. This is the day of equal suffrage in the theatre. The motion picture, truly, has slipped out of its swaddling clothes, and, thanks to the H. C. L. it hasn't found anything else to slip into. And it would appear that it will remain in the nude, unless, of course, it hearkens to the serpent-censor — or grows bow-legged. 1 CARAT J JQy I BLUE-WHITE SOLITAIRE Wonderfully sparkling cKa monds, glowing with a fiery radiance unsurpassed at double our price.

B.GUTTER&SONS $2H8Lss^tJ.E^LE£I New York After working day and night to complete his scenes as a featured player in "Dead Men Tell No Tales," Percy Marmont immediately began to create the leading male role in Hope Hampton's forthcoming production. His part is that of a rising business man who sacrifices love and honor for the sake of ambition, and brings down upon himself not only the hatred of the heorine but also leads to the death of his own wife and child, who are sunk after embarking in a ship which he had built in record time, but without any regard to its seaworthiness.
