NEW YORK.— Th hurrah and
the trumpeting that has been raised
over Ana Nazimova's one-act play,
“The Unknown Woman," seems to
this writer to be nothing more than
a temhpest in a tea-pot
Ths sketch, writen by George
Middleton, shows how a New To k
society man- allows his wife to di-
vorce him by being trapped, with
an "unknown woman'' in a hotl
room. (In New York there la only
one ground for divorce.)
The unknown woman had no idea
that she waa being led into such a
trap. Sho had no interest in the
man’s marital affaire. When it is
disclosed to her that all she has to
do is to sit and talk to the man un-
til the detectives break in she is
wildly indignant, feeling that her
honor has bee impugned. She
spurns the man's hundred-dollar
bill, but when he adds ten dollars
for a new oatrich plume, she invites
him to dine with her. Curtain!

Her Greatest Pride.
You’d think that Anita Loos
would have practically every rea-
son for being fairly set up about
all that she has accomplished, and
all that she is doing now. But it
never seems to occur to her that
. R Smith, D F and P. A

Morgan Line, N. O.. La.
preaches the pretty moral that a
woman who lives with a husband
she doesn’t love is as immoral as s
woman of the street You may aay
any of these things you please, but
the one thing left to this reviewer to
say is that Nazimova has cheapened
her art beyond estimate. Of
late It seems that the only drama
she sees in life la the’drama of the
prostitute
ciding which invitation to tea to
necept or culling up the bootmaker
to Inquire why the last eleven Yura
really takes pride is the fact that
she revolutionised the hairdressing
world by starting the shingle hair-
cut. She used to wear her long
braids wrapped tight about her
head, emphasizing the pretty curve
al the back.
But one day it came over her that
a large part of her time was going
in braiding, so she simply had the
major portion of her hair cut off.
Bobbed hair was no news at the
time, but it was the kind of bob that
stood out in bushes, and was friz-
zed to the extent tit it looked as
if it had been fried. The shirgle
bob was * defin it sly something to
get out extras about.
Mias Loos took her boyishly
shorn head to Paris, and unveiled it
to Madame Lanvin, while she was
choosing dresses. The next day the
leading Lanvin mannequin had her
hair shingled? You know you self
how far the thing has spread from
there.
The big trouble is that nobody
else can look like Anita Loos, no
matter how close they have their
hair trimmed. If only more people
did resemble her, the world would
be an appreciably pleasanter place.

Whether or not the nation decides
to set aside a special day for
mot here-in-law. at least the Queen
theatre has set aside their day, and
beginning today, ia showing a pic-
ture entitled, “Mothers-in-Law,"
which is said to give this "species"
of the family all tbs credit which
jokesters have denied them.
The theme of this picture, accord-
ing to advance notices, is summed
up on the words, “A mother-in-law
is a mother with another child to
love." At any rate it ia distinctly
not a comedy, despite some popular
conceptlons of in-law relationshlps.
Gaston Glass plays the part of
the country boy who falls in levs
with a frivolous girl, and then has
to make his way to the, front tn
business and face complications
which his wife's yearning for high
Ilfs has brought on them all.
Edith Yorke as “Mom" Wingate-
mother of “the boy,” is the storm
center of the plot, which revolves
around her deairs to solve the dif-
ficult situation growing out of her
in-law connection with a girl she
bellevyes to be deceiving her son.
This is said to be an unusually
strong picture, with an obvious
moral, and the. characters are well
fitted for the parts.
