ACTRESS KILLED IN FIRE

ff York, April 2.
The tragic death qf Miss Cathleen
Beryl Clifton, for roany years a mem
ber of the Htppodromercompany, In a fire
at her boarding house In West Thirty
eighth street, has revealed' the fact that
Mies Clifton was in reality Cathleen
Albertson, whose disappearance from
her home la Poughkeepsie twenty-three
years ago caused a great furore at the
time.
The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.
If. Albertson, of 66. Livingston street,
Poughkeepsie, who, during all the years
ot the girl's absence, have never Inter
rupted their search for her. Identified
the body yesterday at )he undertaking

The girl was quiet and unas.su nil np of
kuuu reputation mm very vsjpuiark.)V)Ui
her associates at the Hlppodrome.,7ho
fact Hist during all these ycar&she never
cqmmunlcated with her parents Is be
lieved to be due to the fact that she had
a. complete loss of memory as the re
sult of an Illness at the tlmo of her
disappearance. This theory is support
ed by the fact that Miss Clifton for
teveral years has had a bungalow at
Monta.uk Point. L. I . while her sister.

she had gone away with a traveling the

A search was begun at once. Tho po

out to trace her past. The police were

Indeed, If ho didn't llko tho show this

plcnfco nil tastes with n plentiful supply
of laughs and thrills.
The most striking feature Is a dra
matic tJietch, "Tho Pea Wolf," drama
tized by Hobart Bosworth, fiom Jack
London's famous t-tory. Mr. Bosworth
offeicd a.tltid portrajal of tho central
character, Wolf Larson. His moods of
wroth, varying with yai castle tolerance,
wcro true to tho word plcluro presented
by London. Tho atmosphere was thor
oughly realistic ; tlm deck and cabin of
tho prowling ocean craft wero rugged
and substantial.
The llttlo placet, which abounds In
thrills, gripped attention nt the very
start, and Mr. Bosworth won many de
served "curtains" at the finish. Other
characters were In very callable hands,
Ida Stanhope and Carroll Ashbum being
worthy of special mention. Mr. Bos

for this mtlstlc addition lo vaudeville.
Following nioro than a thousand
laughs caused by the good act which
preceded her, Hay Aimuels dashed on
the Mage Just a little before 11 o'clock
and staited the laughs all over again.
Her Job was especially hard In view of
the pace set by the others on the bill.
But Miss Samuels held the "spot" In
good shape, retiring with many bows, a
hpecch "Yes, I'm always glad to get

Tho story of how n faithful Jewish
brother Is willing to sacrifice his hap

VICTORIA "llouith and Readv." with Wll
Ham Karnum Directed by Richard Stan
ton nnd written by him In association
with Ud Sedsvvlrk. Fox film
Lter since William Karnum par
ticipated in tho big fight which was tho
feature of "The Spoilers," he has been
nsslgned to parts which havo required
a lurther exhibition of his pugilistic
abilities. In this sort of character
work Mr. Karnum Is a past master, and
In "Rough and Ready" he Is at his phys
ical best. Tho screen has never shown a
fight which Is so realistic as the one
that forms a feature of this production.
Despite the fact that actors havo been
accused of faking terrific struggles,
there Is real danger Involved, and
lovers of the athletlo will find much to
admire In the "scrap" between Alphonze
Hthler and Mr. Karnum.
This production has been given a
realistic outdoor setting. The snow
scenes are especially attractive. Tho
story Is not highly original, but It
serves the purposo of supplying the
thief participants with opportunity to.
dlrplaythelr Individual talents.

Camouflage Is a word which has

who has been featured In films during

Idea of William Kox that he could take
any unknown person and by dlllaent

In doing that It was necessary to have
some material to work with, and In this
