It never can be, it never is, the true rewurd! It can give no lasting pleasure. The real reward is that inner applause that conies from satisfaction in real achievement." It is Julia Marlowe apeakiug. Al ready a stage tradition and one of the greatest actresses of Shakes pearean roles, die knows well the taste of star-dust. She is 53, yet her eyes are still young and sparkle with enthusiasm nnd emotion. The "voice of voices" has all of its silver resonance. Hut the slender waist line of Viola, of "Twelfth Night" is gone, supplanted by matronly bulk. She has just returned from a rest in Europe, one of the several "retire ments" which begnn in 1910 at the full height of her career and which have broken by periodic reappear ances. "It ft hard to make the world un stago life," she commented, explain in? her absence from the footlights. "When 1 first said 1 was retiring I was flooded with innuiries. M'hy should t stop in the full flood of a coreer? , "Well, thcrc are many reasons. There comes n. time when n person realizes that, en much has been given to one tank that all the rest of Hfo bus been neglected. And there were po many tilings I wanted to do. "With niy husband, Mr. Solhern, 1 had many tastes that I wanted to enjoy. "Year after year there was noth ing but work, workr work. I would huvo to deny myself the things I wanted. "And there were th tiring months on the lontl, going from town In town on one-night stands until the hardship became too great. "All the time there were books I actress stopped for a moment and tucked her chin in the large fur that circled the collar of her .English coat. "Have you really retirodV" she was asked. "Oh no!" she hasteued. "Hut I have reached the stage where I must feel the urge before I return. "As for myself. Well, have I not played all the great roles V" For n moment Julia Murlowe re minisced ou the plays of yesterday, and the scene shifted to the wide prari.e expanses of Kansas in the early seventies. Here can.1 John Frost, a colonist, from England with his wife and three youngsters, one of whom was Sarah Frances Prost which is the real name of Julia Marlowe. When Frunces Frost reached the age of 1L she was living in t'iueiu nati, 0., and there made her first, stage bow in a school performance of "Pinafore." ft It was about this time that t he family acquired two books, a Bible and a copy of Shakespeare. It was to the latter that Fram-es turned and before she had rearhed 1 "i she had determined to he a great Shakespear ean actress. Though there was no si age tradition in the family, she was allowed In follow- her drarnntie path which eventually took her up in New York unler the tutelage of an aunt. Her name became "Fanny Hrough." Hut after three years of study, in which the proper use of the voire played o priwipnl role, the girl re appeared as "Julia Marlowe" and this name die retained. I ler first Bp- j pefirance was ns 1'nrtlienin in "Ingn- j mar." It was o promising, rather than n spectacular debut and a long, hard struggle preceded her final ar-j rival. Julia Marlowe, can look back a! all : that now with a certain delightful detachment nnd imperennnlify.

Grif ' fitfi prevented an awkward, homelv, i wiMful, p:g-tailed girl with picture op port unit iy. which she was quick to ciin into fame Mar Marsh. Season ed players over whom the triumphed wiili quaiut mannerisms and eyes i pathos had their hour of professional jf alousy as the little novice forged ahead. Today, following her latest appear ance in "Tides of Passion,' a Mu graph release, Mao Marsh must in turn feel -some of the tremors of the star who is surpassed by the all but ' unknown ingenue. Miss Marsh has the leading role iu the film adapted by J. Stuart lilacs ton from Hasil King's "In the Garden of Charity." Hut Laskn Winter, a gii"l of strange charm nnd exotic raein. ; playing a secoudary part, decided'y deserves top honor. Sreue for seen-, clostup for closeup, l.asku Winter outpoints the former Griffith star. Set in Her Tricks True .the drama assigned to Miss Winter is much richer aud more various in shading than the role given Miss March, but one gets the feeling that Mae has failed to grow theatri cally within the past few years; that vhe has become set and trammeled iu j the tricks vl expression which once j gave her glowing originality, but havo ; now b-'come mom tonofis. i Miss Winter, having no tradition to j play to, gives a tree, colorful, striking i portrayal with a fine quality of fresh ness and' a true instinct for dnitnutic values. The Marsh portrait, on tho other hand, is made to conform to the long established and seldom varied pattern, first remarked m "The Hirtb of a Nation." It is all the more in effective because Miss Marsh, m a matron, is no longer tbe frail sprite o( her triumph.int days. Mae Marsh aud Easka Winter, re spectively "Charity" and "Ha gar" of lite play, are unwitting rivols for the affections of a Roldier ne er-do-weil lo whom both are married. Without suspecting his bigamy, "Charily" mains loyal to the absent husband, whom ehe believes m a foreign land, A man of light morals and vacillat ing affections, be has at length started home, has been shipwrecked on th home ce-ast withiu a few mile of "Charity's" residence and has married "Ilagar" after she has dragged him from the surf. When "Hagar" discov. ers that she is not wholly entitled to her man, this shunned, unhappy crea ture of mixed blood rows the biga mist to a small island where, she ns- suivh him. a mail boat will pirk him up for transport to the other wife. Hut she withholds the signal she has promised and the man is exposed lo n storm, so that he dies, after her vain and remorseful effort to salvage hurl, Scenes Molodramatio ' From l hen on the drama inheresjn. the emotional contest between the twfi women for possession nf the child that has been born tn "Hngar." It is here that Miss Marsh makes 1i-t only real bid to take the acting hon or from Miss Winter. The story holds altenlion, nfler n lumbering slart. and especially in the scenes of Ihe hicamiM's end it rises tn melodramatic intensity. The stormy sea rs effectively used in semi-symbolic fashion to carry out the im plication of the title, "Tides of Pas sion." And, in the rescue of Ibe marooned women, cnught by a rising' tide on an islel when "Charity" pre vents ''Hagar's" intended suicide, Ibfi'" i the spnse nf positive danger to the players struggling In n violent sen.

In a re cent Issue, paid a remarkable tri bute to the new, "Quo Vadls" and "The Last Laugh" In a lengthy editorial. The Tribune said In part: "The new picture of 'Quo Vadls' ! has reached Chicago and 1b at the Roosevelt theater. The old pic ture was here about thirteen years ago. one of the early at tempts at production of tremen dous action with the life of a no tion in the background, followed by 'Ctibiila' and 'The Birth of a Nation.' Perhaps the new Quo Vadls' Is the greatest of all. "It is like 'The Birth ot a Na tion,' 'America,' 'Robin Hood' In In loBser degree, 'Hobln Hood' In making live the civilization, social order, and people of another time. Nowadays the fact ot Roman em pire does not carry the Impres sion that the people ot Home most of the time were living much as the people of Chicago aro liv ing today. They were not only ot a remote time, but the im pression we get of them is not of the people but of things emotion alized so differently as to bo of another species. "One reason the plot tiro Is great is Kmll Jannlngs. We think ho Is tho greatest moving picture, ac tor of tho day. Ho Is Nero in 'Quo Vadls.' In 'The I.aat Laugh,' now being shown In Now York, he is the doorman ot a grent Herlltt hotel, probably the Atllon. Hoth pictures were shown at once in Now York, and critics who are not moved' much by anything they soo could not believo thnt Nero Hnd the doorman could, be tho same man.
