STARS AND THEIR
DRESSING ROOMS.
(Continued from fo§{ 15).
Framed between the ptgan scarlet blossoms of two poinsettia trees, he contemplates the trim little garden that surrounds his
laboratory of dreams. The dazzling
white of the cement walks, smooth as ice between the cool green jade of the lawns . . . the sprouting shrubs beneath the blue arch of the California sky . . . the slender suspense of the cypresses silhouetted against lilactint cd walls . . . the whnle scene as clean, fresh and well-groomed as " The Sheik " himself, clad in his royal blue woollen tuxedo lounge coat, white flannels, striped tie, a pink carnation in his button-hole.
Even in her dressing-room, Pola Negri loses none of her exotic charm. Her lightest gesture holds in it something of drama, if not of tragedy, mysterious, impending, sad ! Off the " set," as well as on it . . . in the humdrum routine of studio life, in the long waits, the pauses for meals . . . the passionate Pola appears to be playing a part.
Almost Oriental in its unique atmosphere, this star's dressing-room forms a curiously appropriate background for her colourful personality. A Chinese screen, its cloth of gold embroidered in relief with fascinating little figures in gay festival attire serves as a foil to the black hair and creamy skin of the Polish star, clad in a gorgeously flamboyant Mandarin coat.
The windows of her boudoir command a view of " Peacock Alley," the broad promenade down which every famous star on the Lasky " lot " has strolled at one time or another. Here she frequently writes her letters, and watches her fellow-players come and go.
Stripped of its scintillating motley, her shadowy, serious self peeps out from behind the scenes, from behind the flirting mask of the vampire of the screen. Does she whisper with the luckless Grimaldi, " Ah ! dans mon coeur. alors, la solitude est grande!" A turbulent Queen of Melodrama, this Pola, but a very woman, too !
