to hear the celebrated prima donna . this season. Last year her concert J tourwas a phenomenal Buccess. Every-! where she sang throngs were turned j away. She sang before sold out

houses in nearly 100 cities. She found this too tiring. So, this year she confined her tour to tlO engagements. Richmond is the smallest city to be included and only was because the contract was signed last March for her appearance here. Her entire tour had been booked in June. A native of Roumanla. buV bought to America while still a chil l and educated in New York, Miss Gluck is essentially American. Her first big opportunity came in 1909 when a call was issuer, from the Metropolitan Opera House for a young soprano to create thf role of Sophie in Massenet's Werther. Tmheralded she presented herself with a score of other sopranos and was immediately selected for the part. Her debut was an emphatic success. The following year ahc sang many important roles and aroused great admiration In concert as well as in opera

of the Butterfly Picture, "The Man From Montana," in which he plays the part of a two-fisted hero. Hart went into the picture game because he loved horses. And he came by his love of them honestly. His people call Staten Island, New York their home, and the family homestead has stood there for several generations, during which all of the men of the name of Hart have interested themselves in the breeding and raising of fine horses. Season after season they earned trophies in leading their famous horses to victory in Madison Square Garden, New York. Six of their horses, Sir Roderick, Tycoon, Amherst, Fox Catcher, Richmond and Vulcan, in four successive Madison Square shows, took the highest honors in their class. In the big home of Neat's uncle, Charles Hart in which Neal and his sisters were born, there is gathered together one of the largest collections of cups and ribbons in America.

When the Aztecs in the time of Montezuma decided that woven feather cloaks were to be the sign of the nobility, they did not reckon for the trouble they were to cause future generations who wish to immortalize the early days of North America on the never fading film. Geraldine Farrar. who so wonderfully and vividly immortalized Joan of Arc in the great production of "Joan the Woman," was selected by Cecil deMille to perpetuate the career of Tezca, Montezuma's daughter, who for love sold her city to the conquering Spaniards under Cortes. It is upon this that Jeanie MacPherson's story tor the Artcraft spectacle, "The Woman God Forgot." now at the Murray theater, was founded. For three months before the actual filming of the picture Director deMille's research department was at work

The affair is under the auspices of the Delta Theta Tau sorority. Rehearsals are being held at the Y. M. C. A. under the direction of Earl C. Darfler of the John B.

in libraries and museums and even invaded Mexico itself, to photograph the ruins of the ancient Aztec palaces. Exact reproductions of the Aztec city, the famous throne room of Montezuma, and an exact replica of the famous pyramid of Teocalli, nearly 200 feet in height, were erected, and some thousand people employed in the filming of the scenes, but as they were mostly native Aztecs of the lower classes, their costumes were easily supplied. It was when they came to the costumes' of the 250 nobles and the garments of Montezuma, his daughter, and his immediate court, that the costume department was momentarily stumped. Drawings compiled by the archeologists and historians demanded that cloaks, head-dresses, vests, and even the curtains, rugs and screens, be of woven feathers. Eight feathered robes were required for Montezuma; six for Guatemoc, his favorite, four feathered gowns were required for the Aztec Emperor and six for his daughter. A bundled and twenty feathered cloaks for the nobles and the court two hundred and fifty feathered shields, and four hundred feathered spears and other war implements, were as nonchalantly ordered by the director as if feathers were the easiest things in the world to obtain.
