iiho should draw Ktronnly. Speaking
of drawing-. It Is not alone as a stage
magnet that Miss Zabelle shines. She is
B l eall -truly-cross-her-heart-hope-to-dle
artiste in drawing.
It is strange, by the way. the divers
ity of talent that so many stage peo
ple possess. ' Sothern could earn a good
living painting. Kthel Barrymore is an
expert on the piano. Elsie Ferguson
moulds models in clay, .lulla Marlowe
finds her happiest moments painting
chlnsi. And so it runs up and down the
line; they all have their fads.
Flora Zabelle has quite a little list
of accomplishments herself. Besides
this gift of drawing, she has a pret
ty talent for the violin, and she if. an
industrious little woman. She puts
In an hour or so every day practicing.
Some time she Is going to Introduce
a violin In her stage work and those
who have heard her beg her to hasten
the day. She is a composer and a lin
guist, speaking no less than seven lan
guages. If Flora were so-disposed, she could
truthful? hill herself as the only Ar
menian prima donna in captivity. Her
real name, let it be. whispered iri confi
dence, is M.uigarsarlaii all Armenian
surnames end In arian. When Flora
decided to go on the stage, her father
frowned on the Idea. What was the
use, she followed her own desires. One
day she looked up in front of the
theater and saw the star's name In
glittering letters, and then thought of
her own long name Mangarsarian. She
was a thrifty soul and she counted
the letters in her real name, and fig
ured up how much they would cost
each night for electricity. So .-he de
cided to call herself Zabelle.' which
was her first name. She was named
after Queen Zabelle who was famous in
history of her country. Then as Za
belle alone sounded like a tootli wash
or a breakfast food, she added "Flora."
It may be a press agent's story
it is given lor what It is worth but
the Mangarsarians once lived in a villa
on the shores of the Bosphorus. When
they came to this country they rented
It to a Turk who never paid a cent
of rent and finally claimed the prop
erty at his own. He was one of tn.)
old school of Turks, and when the old
government had instituted reforms at
every point of the compass. Flora an
nounced her Intention of going to Con
stantinople in the Summer vacation
and asking for a return of the family
estate. It would be such a fine place
to idle a few weeks away in after a
season of hard travel, and brag about
to the poor theatrical folks who have
to content themselves with a little
shack down on Long Island. Besides
she could write a song about it and
call it "My Beautiful Bungalow on the
Bosphorus." Now Flora packed eight
or 10 trunks this last Summer and went
to Constantinople, but found that the
horrid Turks were still at war with the
Italians, and it would be dangerous for
her to make a trip into the interior
and she concluded to return.

Washington Star,
l'cx Beach said at the inaugural
meeting of the Authors' League in New
York: "I don't prophesy that this league
will make author-publishers of us
that author-publishers will become as
common as actor-managers. In fact,
I'm airaid an author-publisher wouldn't
get on. He is not mercenary enougli.
"Have you heard, by the way, the
latest story About our famous actor
manager. Hanifat?
"Hamfat's reader was turning down
a play.
" "My good young friend,' the reader
said, 'it is play you don't understand
modern, up-to-date play construction.
Why. In this play here Mr. Hamfat. as
the star, wouldn't be off the stage five
minutes from the first act to the last."
'"But," faltered the young play
wright, 'I thought the stars all liked
that.'
" 'No. no.' said the reader; 'not your
up-to-date stars; not your twentieth
century actor-amangers. No. no. young
man. You must always leave your mod
ern actor-manager at least 15 minutes
in the second act to go around to the
box office and watch the money being
