It waa at this time that Haltna Bruxovna. leading woman of the Ktata Theater at Moscow, found herself without a home In Peirograd, and without the means with which to sustain life In the city of her work.

There she had a hard time making ends meet. and. though she had literally armies of friends, she was too much of a woman to lean on any one; but it was a atruggle with each and every man to keep his feet In the mad rush of Russian events In those wild days. Aa Mme. Bruxovna herself says: "I did everything that was honorable to keep body and soul together, even fighting in the trenches, which I did for three months with tha 'Battalion of near Smolensk.

The Actors' Superstition Actora are Invariably superstitious. Make this accusation to any one of them and you will hear a vehement denial. But whistle In their dressing loom, present them on their opening night with any object containing the color yellow and you will see them behave like the most voodooed negro.

If any actor appears In an unsuccessful play for three or more times In one season, other players eye him suspiciously. You will hear. If you are listening, furtive whlsper-Iiibm of "the Jinx." Let an actor appear in a series ot long-run plays and he will get a most effusive reception from his fellow performers. tie is considered a "mascot and it Is an Indication of a play's longevity to be associated with him. Helen Joy, who portrays an im portant role in Martin Brown's comedy, "The 8trawberry Blonde," which opens tomorrow night at Teller's Shubert Theater, falls Into the latter class.

Long periods of em ployment in "Tha Bat," a long run In "The Fool" and an equally successful season In "Cobra" all Indicate to Miss Joy's colleagues, not that she ia particularly fortunate, but that the plays were hits because of Miss Joy presence. This you will notice Is an example of an actor's superstition. The result la that they are all of the opinion that "The Strawberry Blonde" will be another play that will add a notch to Alius Joy's list of long-run prosperous stage vehicles. Tha producer, James Norval, is of the opinion that Mr. Brown's latest play will not disappoint tha actors.

David Vardi in Recital In the heart of New York's theatrical district, at tha Town Hall on V.

43d David Vardi and Eva Ynallt recently gave a "recital" In Yiddish and Hebrew before an audience that was both enthusiastic and comprehending. To ears tuned to English apeecn. It was something of a phenomenon to hear these syllables In New York's own foreign language coming from a stage on the edge of Times But the Yiddish, with brief interludes of Hebrew recitation by Miss Youllt, was accepted as natural enough by an audience made up lurgely of those who still spoke It or at any rate heard It spoken. Mr. Vardi, who was one of the directors of the English version of "The Dybbuk" here and In Chlcatro, and formerly an actor and producer of the Hebrew Hablma Theater, gave hla Yiddish Impersonations somewhat in the manner of Kuth Dra-ier.

But tha characters he portrayed on the atage, the pictures he drew, were out of an exotic history and background. Across the stage, as the chubby and Jesting Mr. Vardi spoke on, largely extemporlxing aa he went, moved figures out of the ghettos of little Russian towns, out of hlstnrln Palestine, out of Moscow i-hile Trotskv thunders to hla Jted legion and the Kremlin belli blm- boom In regretful recollection oi ine glorious Czar. nD TR A Broadway th at.

Mrs. C. (J.

Milharn. The attraction is "Turandot." the fantastic Oriental comedy, written In vers by the eighteenth Century dramatist. Carl Uozzi, and adapted by Karl VoUmoelb r. The adaptation was brought out at Salzburg last August by Max Reinhardt. In the Play as prewnted at i'asadeiia.

all the delightful features of the "Corn-media del 'Arte'' of (Juxil day are retained and even accentuated. The main feature in bringing about the pleasing and surprising mixture of huffoonery and seriousness marking "Turandot" is. perhaps, in the costuming. There are some AO characters In the play, and, their costumes are at once elaborate, whimsical and gorgeous. The collective effect Is bizarre, and yet at the time brilliantly harmonious.

I It Is In the matter of these coa-1 fumes that Brooklyn, through Mrs Milhani, may lay claim to no small measure of the success that is bein won by "Turandot," for all were (nmde under her direction and snper- vision from designs by James Hyde. The working out of these designs was. of course, the problem, and to this Mrs. Milharn brought the training gained at 'Pratt Institute of Brooklyn. As general chairman of the costume committee for "Turandot," Mrs.

Milharn had 46 well-known Pasadena women assisting her. They devoted four weeks, even some oif the Christmas holiday season, to the making of the colorful costumes. Ths chief place on the program was given to the costume committee. This brought out perhsps more forcefully than anything else that the Pasa dena community Playhouse is truly community enterprise a Droiect In which practically everv one in Pasadena feels that he or she has a share. What Is being done at Pasadena has been written about many times, but there has been little written about the way in which all of the community enters Into the work.

It is perhaps not difficult to understand that Pasadena Community Playhouse has on call in Pasadena. Los Angeles and Hollywood some 1.500 actors ana actresset most of them amateur, but with a good sprinkling of professionals who take rolea without compensation but It is not so easy to understand that a small-size army of men and women la ready at any time to step In and do what needs he done In costuming and production. Significant of the successes thai are bringing cultural distinction to Pasadena Is "Turandot," and Brooklyn has reason to congratulate Itself that It has shared, even though indirectly, in this triumph. No Use for Grand Opera Eleanor Painter, who Is starring In "The Nightingale," has refused a cabled offer from Germany to return to that; country In grand opera. In commenting upon her decision last niKht, Miss Talnter, the American singer whose voice was "discovered" In Europe and who has entered the musical comedy stage by way of grand opera, said that not even the title rolea of "Butterfly" and "Miml." for which aha Is particularly wanted at tha famous Deutches Opera House In Charlot-tenburg, Germany, could Induce her to (rive up her Jenny lu, "The Nightingale." I "I know people will say that Tm a foolish girl." remarked Miss Painter, "and although I am thrilled clear through when I reallxe that the people of Charlottenburg and Berlin want ine to return, yet I feel that the scope of really fine musical plays Is much broader than most, of the standard operas.

In the latter, If one has 'a voice nothing else Beems to matter. It la not altogether essential In grand opera to act or to 'vitalize' your part." Miss Painter, although American born, made her debut on the stage In grand opera and in recent years hns sung leading roles at tha opera nouses in Berlin, Charlottenburg and at I'ovent Harden, London. The Fulton Players Beginning tomorrow the Fulton Players at the Fulton Theater will present "Silence." The play deals with the career of a lovable lawbreaker, Jim Warren, who Is guilty nf many minor offenses but who finds himself facing the electrlo chair for a murder of which he is Innocent. His stoical and heroic silence In order to protect his unacknowledged daughter is the essence of the character and of the play. The two leading roles are played by Frank Roberta and Miss Frances McOrath.

Others In the cast Include Ada Howard. Margaret Campbell, Gordon Hamilton and Warren Ash. The production will be under the supervision of Arthur Olml. Today the usual Sunday vaudeville concert w-UI be given, consisting of vaudeville, a news reel, a feature photoplay entitled "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley," and a comedy.

he vastly entertaining play, called Parker," has arrived in town, dealing with the people of such a traveling show. But Today there are many who do not know tha exact meaning of this title, and so It happened that a lady, hearing of the commotion the new play caused up 47th st. way, and catching only the word "barker," exclaimed: "My goodnesii. slnre when do they have dog showa In theaters?" Back-Stage. To the average theatergoer who longs to get acquainted with the fantastic life actors and other such vagabonds lead back-stage the present season offers plenty of opportunities to appease his desire.

I have a friend, a Hungarian actor, who, despite the fact that he is rather good in hi profeaslon, only rarely manages to get a role. Now he is In a play which threatens to close any minute and for a year before he was Jobless. He cannot play a role except when tha acrlpt calls for a Russian student or a Greek bandit.

"It's very bad that you can't lose your accent." I told him. "Not at all. To tell you something frankly. I don't want to lose my accent." "Why?" "You see.

That Is the reason Miss Foster has Joined Mrs. Clare Tree Major's Threshold Playera and is willing to accept a small salary to play the lead In "Courage," by Isabel Kemp, rather than play a part which she does not approve. "I'm doing this to surprise the Broadway managers out of their wits," Mia Foster explained, with an almost mischievous gleam In her blue eye. "I'm thumbing my nose at the managers for calling me a one-part woman.

I did 'Conscience' so well crushed myself as an actress. I'm not even Lillian Foster anv more. I'm Madeline In "People who used to make an event of going to the theater are now kept away simply by the 'high price or sex 1 willing to live on crackers and milk to do my little bit to get them back," Miss Foster added.

I'm not a prig nor a snob, goodness knows, but. after all. we would all be a lot better off If the stage were cleaned up a little bit." Since "Conscience" closed Miss Foster has read on the. average of twtf play a day which managers and authors have sent her. "One reason why I like the role in Miss Foster explnlned.

"Pen Club," I answered, modestly blushing, "means the club of poets, essayists and novelists." "You're wrong." a cynical bystander interrupted. "It means poets, essayists, nobodies." (Copyright, 1121 A Note on 'Broadway" No play of tha scores that hav opened In New York thla season has registered a hit comparable to that made by "Broadway," the high-spirited drama of the midnight loves, hates and wise-crack of Broadway. "Broadway" set this theatrical season the swiftest pace it has had to meet in years, and it still top the non-musical sue-, cesses by playing to absolute capacity at every performance.

In fact. It ha gone so far as to establish a new record for a dramatlo ahow in a theater such as the Broad-hurst, where the gross receipts hae reached the new record of $42,040. The ucces of "Broadway" is the Inevitable reault of the perfect projection of a tense, moving story in a gay, awlft, yet biting realism that never pauses for breath. Its characters have an Elizabethan quality translated into a 20th Century back-ground; an unaquelchable "hoofer" In a Broadway night club, his sweetheart, a demure little chorus girl, a gangster overlord, more than care-leaa with firearms, and a detective who overlook a murder with a human and genuine gesture. The writers of "Broadway" have brought to the staging of the play the same high-spirited air they wrote into tha script.

Jed Harris Is the young producer who breathed upon "Broadway" and gave It life. The International success of "Broadwuy" Is another Indication of the remarkable hold this play has upon audience wherever It is een. Canny Broadway theatrical men shook their collective heads doubtfully at the daring of Jed Harris In taking this play to London, where they were sure the traditionally atolld, phlegmutio Englishmen would not "get It." Its typical New York night club background, its racy and picturesque slang. Indigenous to Times Square, its bootleg gang atmosphere and Its authentic color would open up before their eyes a strange world, remote from their experience. It was hard to believe that it would not go "over their heads." Just how stolidly they "got it" may be seen from the following cablegram received at the New York office of the producer ten day after tha London premiere: "Capacity audlenc cheered play voclferouely tonight after every act.

This ie unprecedented here for drs-matic ahoivs except on occasional opening night. (Signed) BROUGHTON. "Company Manager." "Broadway" was written by Philip Dunning and George Abbott. AMVSr.MEXTS MAXnATTAV 'Hi Htmt Mnc rfH' "-TtUffrmm CAPONSACCHI Evi. I IB.

Over 200 mailer lights filled every nook and cranny, besides the entire resources of the 'high power lines' of two of the I-os Angeles public service corporations, seven 'power portable generating sets, were used to carry this record-breaking load. Enough electric power was used in the lighting of these scenes to serve a town of 10,000 Inhabitants."

At the outset It might be well to explain that It Is not Lupino Lane, as many people think, who la with Eleanor Painter In "The Nightingale," at Jolson's Theater, but his first cousin, Stanley Lupino, with whom Lena la sometimes confused. Lupino has two brothers, Barry and Mark, tioth ot whom are on the English stage today, as Is his father, George Lupino. The family la a very old one In British theatricals, and any one with the surname or (riven name of Lupino la pretty certain to have a long Una of stage forbears who made his choice of a career merely another test of tha efficacy of the law of heredity. The Luplnos, It la said, trace their ancestry back to a Cavalier Lupino, who came to England from Italy In 16K7. Nearly all his history la vanue, except that It Is known that he earned a precarious living: In the country of his adoption as a wandering; minstrel, traveling from inn to tavern and rendering odds and ends of entertainment In return for amall coins, a meal or a night's lodging.

Never having mastered English, the first of th Luplnos did all of his anting in pantomime, and since then most ot tha family have been adept In that particular form of expression. The subject of this sketch, Stanley 1 Lirptno, first saw daylight In Hhore-ditch. London, and became attached to tha stage from the time his mother took him, aa a child of four, to visit the dressing room of his fnther at tha Royal Theater, Drury Lane. At 7 ha made his debut as a professional actor by appearing with his parents at the Britannia Theater. Hovton.

When be was 10 his mother died and tha act broke up. Lupino per traveled to Holland, leaving his son, Stanley, In the care of a woman of whom he says she not only drank, but did It In solitude, a fairly complete description. Also the thought of giving the growing boy food never aeems to have oc curred to her. It was thus a somewhat desperata Stanley who, In order to eat, sold newspapers on the streets of London. After two years of this Lupino be came a page In the Orosvenor Hotel.

He was quite satisfied with the work he now moved In, but another boyish prank ended this particular phase of his career. One day It occurred to him that It might be amusing, if not strictly apropos, to play a trlrk on the chef. There was an air blower through which orders were shouted from the restaurant to that functionary on the floor below. Lupino sum moned Mm to lend his ear would he like to hear a new song. Instead of an order for roast beef? and then he poured hot soun These dots indicate a lapse of time Lupino complains that they still have hla bag of clothes at the hotel.

Soon thereafter he Joined a traveling troupe. Hia waRea were 2 shillings sixpence approximately Kn cents but he also received "food found," which la Idiomatic English for saying that he occasionally got his meals. Lupino played with thla company eight weeks and then was stranded In York. Ho he walked back to London, singing, acting, or otherwise entertaining people for consideration, however slight, much as his ancestor, the original Cavalier Lupino, had done several centurion earlier. In I.nndon Lupino obtained new employment at a place called Wonderland, where for 6 shllllnKK a week he boxed four rounds nightly.

He continued In this capacity, receiving many "hiding" ibentings) the name of Thalia until one day six teeth were knocked out. Then lie retired from the ring at the nue of 1 fi. which was several yen ahead of Benny Leonard's first retirement. For the next 12 months be remembers playing with eight different variety nhowa, each of which "dried up" to use hla own description or failed. Two of the entertnlnnienls still owe blrn for.

ta at. Ivn Mali. unfi Hal. at I II THE CAPTIVE with llclea Mtekea aad Bull Balhbea to South Africa, where ha hoped perchance to change hla luck. It waa aa an actor and not, as might be supposed, as a diamond miner that he went there, and he managed to obtain work.

In the theater one day the manager came up to tell him that Harry Picon, star of the troupe, had Just dropped dead on the street, and knowing Luplno's father, that dignitary offered the lad thla opportunity to fill in. The outcome was favorable. Luplno's played 18 weeks, after which he returned to England. Hia homecoming could not have been more auspicious, for Just as he arrived, true to all the precepts of fiction, the mortgage on his father's home was being foreclosed, and all of the money he (rained by his South African venture was needed to re-purchaaa the place, leaving him with a capital of approximately 2. Luplno's South African engagement got him a leading part with a dramatic stock company at Liverpool.

Melodramas clotted with blood-curdling moments were the delight of tha audiences which patronized the Rotunda Theater, but onca In a while, as If to surprise every one, Including; the actors themselves, a taste of Shakespeare was thrown Into the repertoire. One member of these Liverpool audiences Lupino has reason to remember to this day. That was a drunken sailor who. occunvlng a stage box all the neata were cheap necame so worked up over the Iniquities of the villain that he threw a bottle at him. The throw went wild and struck Lupino In the leg, leaving a scar which has remained.

There was another patron who had the good aim to throw a lighted match Into a pile of fallen snow and. as It was really cotton, ha started a Handsome lire In the theater. A year of this waa enough for Lupino. lie lert ine rtotunaa flayers and turned to vaudeville. Then ha obtained his first West End engagement in a piece called "Dick Whlttlng-ton," tha famous Mnyor-of-London story, where lie waa assigned to play the cat, a not unimportant role.

Then followed an engagement to understudy his brother, Barry Lupino, who at the time was principal comedian In a production at tha Empire Theater. One afternoon tha brother hurt himself and Stanley was ordered lnta the part. Arthur Collins, manager of the Drury Lane Theater, was watching the show, and he was so Impressed by tha young understudy's performance that, though thla was summer, he engaged him for a forthcoming Christmas presentation of "Sleeping Beauty" at the Drury Lane. In the ensuing months, however, Lupino was out of a Job, for hla brother had returned and shortly after the show closed anyway. Christmas came and rehearsals were railed far "Sleeping Beauty." By that time Lupino was in a sorry condition.

His clothes were shamefully worn and he had not been eating regularly for days. Arrived eventually tha opening night, at which a distinguished audience. In cluding the King and Queen were present. That Christmas pantomime waa tne turning point In his career. for since then ha has never lacked engagements.

In the next eieht years (H16-1S211) he appeared In "Arlette," with Oaby Dialya and Harry Pllcer; "Hello, America." with Klsle Janis: "The Honeymoon Ex preea," with Oscar fhaw; "The Peep Show," which ran 18 months: "The Saw," "Oh, Julia." "Fin." "CUivet street to Dixie." with Florence Mills: "His Olrl," "The Kiss Call." and numerous musical shows well known to l.ondon playgoers and perhaps at Rome time chronicled by cable to this country. In all of these pro. ductlona he was either starred, co-starred or featured. Kinra coming here In June. 1925 his last London engagement was in a musical play entitled "Puppets." for which he and Dion Titheridge wrote the book, muaic and lyrics.

Lupino made his American debut with Mltil In "Naughty Biquette." scoring an Immediate hit. It is the opinion of those who have again seen him in "The Nightingale" that he has repeated that honor.
