J" CALL OF THE STAGE ANSWERED By Following the Irresistible Voice Mrs. Leslie Carter ' Achieved Triumph. . vn of tb moat Insistent call In Jire li the call of the footlights. .There are horn calls and the voJcae of chil dren; there la the call of wealth, luxury ' and pampered eaee, but asalnat all of theae the call of the atage with Ita ar!h Ufhta, Ita triumphs. Ita dlsap polotmenta, Ita applause, f ofever holds - Ita own. v ' In the caie or Mrs. Leslla Carter It must be presumed that they call of. the stage was ever In her blood, for when, through a series of strange chances it became necessary for her to take up a profession she. turned naturally, to the ' Stage. Btie deliberately, deafened her ar to the call of the stage and bravely left It for a time, only that aha might fit herself by diligence, Induatry and study and be ready to anawer the call when tt came again and to be .found "worthy. ., - It was the tosoln bell of "The Heart of Maryland" that rang out tha caU o( the stage once mora to Mrs. Leslie Carter and when, as Maryland Calvert, aha obeyed, tha woman who deserted tha ataga la order to make herself more fit returned to win laurela that are seldom awarded. ' v. " - , , As atern necessity bsda her study the art of the stage, so atern neceaalty, the . ' mother of ao many children bealdes In ' ventlon, forced her to become a buel- 4 tiess woman, a stage director, a, mana ger. Now, at tha apex of her powers aha stands alone aa the ona actress- , nanager in America who aelecta her plays, angagea her company, conducts rehearsala and Js responsible for the finished work that tha public sees. .

Leo White will have a new pictured bal lad, while the Pantagescope will show the latest In animated events. Dlble Pictures at the Star. The new show put on at the Star this week is headed by. a - Blograph reel which ' illustrates the ' meaning1 of the old saying that love laugha at ' lock' smlthB. As all the world loves a lover. tnia picture noiaa tne . ciose attention from the opening scene. It Is very'real in Its pathos, and ahows how much it la possible for a woman to. do, and do rladiy. for those dear to her. A cloae aecond to this beautiful pic eure Is a late Biblical picture, Juat here from the makers. This Is appropriate for the Lenten season, and is entitled "The promised, Land." r It Is a, treat and a rest cure, taking; us away from the practical, and showing the beautiful things to come. "Western ChivalryMa a comedy or western life, and "Bitter Sweet" Is a laugh provoker which illus trate the taming of a rather head strong; wife, by her long; suffering and much abuaed husband. Besides these splendid pictures, there will be something novel in the way of Roto Puzlets and an Illustrated song. The show, .will open" at 1 o'clock and continue until Ml, and on through' the week until Wednesday, when, as usual, an entirely new offering will be given. bring but a hen not a common hen but one that Is firmly Imbued with the Importance of setting on any article which ciin by the . wlldrat ' stretch of fancy be thought to rennmble an egg.

WHEN UGLINESS IS TURNED TO CAPITAL A lady, Claudlne Polalre, acting at present on the Paris stage, la positively o ugly that ahe haa become the rage In Paris. She haa eiplotted her ugllnesa with ao pertinacious a euccesa that ahe is now. one of the mot sought for di vinities among the goddeesea of vaude ville. Better atill, ahe ia one of tbe very beat paid artlatee in the gay city, ail the world Is going to see her. and 8be la described by one of the Paris specials, as being the possessor of "the wasp-walat, a fish face and big flat feet" She doea all aha can, too. to ao- centuate her divergence from the nor mal. She has her boots made with great flat heela and ahe makes a point of lao- Ing so tight that herwalat looks on her htpa aa a merry widow, hat might look on a consumptive broomstick. Farther mora, she weara colore that accentuate her poverty of pigment 8he Is cadav erously pala and ahe weara nothing but the sombreat kind of clothee. , Her mouth is a cavernous gash across tbe face. Her llpa are protrusive to the point ef Fiji monatrouanesa. Her facial angle ia like unto the. facial angle of aomethlna hlnoopotamlcaL Then' ahe ravea about herself and -her ugliness with no idea that ahe la anything but what ahe la. In order to aggravate the cumber aomehran of her hips, she fills in her aktrea with oads that are aa thick aa an elephant's hide. Her legs, she ss sures the world, are her atrong point Then ahe tells ' you how she "weara short aklrts. cut at the back so as to show the most awkward part of my lege. , , ' , "Then, on my long aklnny erme, 1 wear my sleeves lust aa tight se I pos slbly can.
