4. ' V ..o if EVENING PUJ3LIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1919 31 JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Spends Week-End in Cape May Most of the Girls Have Bobbed Their Hair. Mr. Myers's Hikd w Y DEARS, I went down to Cape MHy, over the week-end and believe me that 'sand crab hasn't told me the half of,, the goings on down there this season. Will foh believe It when I tell you there's scarcely a girl down. there from sixteen to twenty-five whoso hair is not .bobbed? Honest to goodness, that's-the tmth. And while they look very cute ori the bathing beach and In their gammer organdies n6 the' Red, Mill dancing something tells me they won't look so cute In winter and street cos tumes. It's all. very well for Banning Grange, for Instance) she's only about sixteen nnd looks a. peach with her hair bobbed, but really after nineteen It's better to put the hair up on the head than to Wttrlm It like baby "sister's, don't you think? Howevfer, It depends on the counte nance that goes with the "phyBog," and when I think of that I almost belle my words, 'for I'll say I've seldom seen as pretty a bunch of girls as there were ou the beach at the bathing hour on Sunday, for instance. DID you know, by the way, that Mona Crozor has been very 111 and has been taken down to stay with some rel atives In ono of the Carolina? while she rocuperaUsi Jlcr father and mother, Mr. nnd Mrs. Ned Crozcr, took her- down and have been away nearly twq weeks. They ex pected to return today, however. Flor ence stayed In Cape Mny. Mona nnd Florence ore very, very nttractlvo girls and will be even prettier when their debutante, year comes nlong. Mona la about sixteen now, and Florence Is fif teen years old. LET me see if I gleaned any other bits while I was there. Oh, yes, I went to the contest dance at the Red Mill' and It was won by I,ysbeth Boyd and Charlie Balrd. And they certainly did win it, too ; they danced beautifully 1 YOU'LIj forgive me If I say that It was hot-on Sundny, won't you? Hut what do you think of Mr. Myers taking the boys off on a hike through historical Philadelphia that afternoon? 'Well, he did. Mr. Albert Cook Myers, of the Historical Society. I told you before, I think, how he takes the men In the fcervlce every Sunday nfternoon. I asked him yesterday where they hiked to, and he gave mo n most Inter esting account. They start oft every Hnnrlnv from the steps of the 1. M. O. A. and go over to the community war nmn tnfnrmnHon in City Hall and have their pictures taken and from there down they go to Independence Hall and all through tho buildings there and then to Commodore Barry's statue. Then he takes the men to Carpenters Hall, which is opened specially for him at that time. From there they go to Christ Church nnd sit in Washington's pew. and thence to Betsy Ross's house, and on to the old Quaker Meeting House, nt Fourth and Arch streets. There they sit for about half an hour, as by that time every man -Jack of them is pretty tired nnd, as I remarked, there was some heat this Sunday afternoon. While nt the meeting house tho sixty-four men who hiked this week were "initiated by Mr. Myers in the degree of H. H. What on earth might that be? ques tioned this inquisitive person. "Well, if this way," said Mr. Myers. "When we start out, they are Husky Heroes. As we go along visiting the historical places they bacome Historical Hikers; as they get to going round to the churches they become Holy Hikers, and by the time they've hnd their swim in the Central 'X' pool they are Hungry Hounds, while after they have walked to the Ship and Tent Club nnd arc fed with all the good eats provided there for them they become nappy Hounds. So H. H. seems to cover them all after noon," After they hnvc their half hour's rest they go on to 520 Market street, where Washington lived for several years, thence to Seventh -nnd Market, where Jefferson drew npthe declaration, and . on to the swimming pool. On the way, Mr. Myers tells them all the historical points of interest nnd makes the walk extremely interesting. The men walk in twos most of the time. This last Sunday after the swim at the "TC," they walked over to Twenty third nnd Christian streets to the Ship and Tent Club, where Mrs. George B. Evans was hostess and provided some wonderful "eats." She bad a number of young girls helping her, nnd Miss T.n r.rantham. who often assists in entertaining the men at the Historical Society, was also were, xae evening finished up with a vaudeville entertain ment. ...

Metro play. If n thing is good it is worth while waiting for, nnd that is Just what has happened at this theatre this week. Other plnccs have seen the beauties of this Orlentnl play, but local theatre goers were repnld for their wait ing when the screen disclosed what is probably the most beautiful Chinese photoplay ever shown here. For those who appreciated some of the stories In which Scssuo Hayakawn appeared, there will be added pleasure In the wonderful characterization of a Chinese girl by Alia Nnzimova. Superb is the way to describe her playing, nnd when it is taken Into consideration that she is not n daughter of the Far East her characterization is nil the more remnrltable. Ornce nnd ensc of portrayal arc shown In her every minute upon thp screen, and the players assembled in her support are of sterling quality. One seems to sense tho Chinese atmosphere from the very start of the program, because there Is n very fine muslcnl setting plnyed by nn augmented orchestra, and then, too, there is the pictoral side of "China" to be found in the natural photographic reproduc tions of a Prlzma picture, which also is shown. Tragedy is found in the motivation of the play, and tho sympathies of the spectators arc aroused when their im aginations are called into play as the tale unfolds. The conflict of emotions comes to the daughter of Caucasian and Mongolian when she grows to woman hood and is called upon to follow her belief in being n fatalist. She meets nnd loves a young missionary, who knows of her parentage. She nlso Is loved by nn Eurnslan, who Is 11 member I of the Boxers. The uprising forces her :r he to lead her lteople, ns the Goddess the Red Lantern. In fenr for the safety of the mission she goes there nnd , meets her father. The story ends somo-1 what iu the 'manner of "Romeo andj Juliet," although the man Is stabbed' In his defense of tho girl. In the' cast nre Frank Currier, Nonh Beery nnd Edward J. Connelly, who will be recalled for his excellent work in char acterizing Rasputin In another film. ARCADIA "ThU lnrk Htjr," with Mnrlon I)avla Slory I17 Hlrt W. Chamber and dlrfctfj by Allnn Duan.
