And I was. But my feet are of clay. My enthusiasm centered on "the art of Mabel Ballin's eyes." Her eyes remind you how painfully inadequate are your own and all the other eyes you have ever seen. She makes you realize that your friends have eyes, but only after a fashion. And they are not "limpid pools" or "wells of softness." They suggest nothing so untrained. They are sophisticated and artful, and she does the right things with them at the right time. They are quite heady, and I should think Wyndham Standing would forget his lines. All of Hugo Ballin's best effects in lighting and tones are really amateurish compared to the effect Mabel creates when she artfully looks at you artlessly and droops her eyelids ever so' slightly. She can do all sorts of tricks with her eyes. Not that she is the least bit obvious or flirtatious or frivolous with them, but she is generous. Her eyes suggest everything in the world and in their depths one may discover all of the feminine wisdom of the ages. I suggest that mothers with marriageable daughters send them to study Mabel's eyes before inviting Freddie Astorbilt up for dinner. Her eyes are really an education, and a study of them would benefit a girl much more than a course at Vassar. I might add that I was completely charmed by Mrs. Ballin after I discovered that she was aware of her eyes. I have no use for the listless beauty that doesn't recognize itself. I find a woman in a Tappe hat at the Ritz infinitely more engaging than Hannah in a hayfield. When I recovered from the first suffusion of Mabel's introductory glance I heard her saying: "Wasn't it funny?" I forced an eyebrow up under my bangs in interrogatory fashion. "Why, the balcony scene," she explained. "It's supposed to be funny. You see the people in a little mining town are giving tableaux which are supposed to be quite crude. Wasn't it funny?" she repeated a bit fearfully. _ I tried my hardest to see something funny in Mabel Ballin and Wyndham as Romeo and Juliet. If they had both used the balcony for
