FAMOUS ARTIST’S MODFI,
IN PH'Tl'HF OF IIK.UTY
"Shall the famous paintings of
’lien and women in the nude be dis
played in art store windows, art gal
leries. public libraries, etc., and the
ianions poses of nude women in mo
i ion be barred?” was asked of Ted
Shawn, the husbanu and dancing
partner oi Ruth St. Denis. His reply
was: “Athletic dances will be inter
preted in the nude by dancers on the
vmerican stage in less than ten
.’ears." The American Film com
pany evidently believes that it is un
necessary to wait ten years and an
swers the same question by present
ing to the unbiased mind the world
-•ver, Audrey Munson, the famous ar
'ist’s model, in the nude in a seven
i eel picture entitled “PURITY.” Miss
Munson, however, does not appear in
’lie nude throughout the entire pic
ture. On the contrary, she appears
in various scenes in nature's original
garments; again in the simple diaph- j
-inous garb of Ancient Greece, and ,
yet again in the dress of modern I
limes; and through it all she displays
• a subtle artistry that is indeed re
freshing. Her winning sweetness,
her nobility of injein, her supurb grace
and finished acting are “never to be
forgotten optical delights.” In the
picture her poses in the sculptor's
studio and again in the Garden Fete
:are the work of true artistry and have
won unstinted praise and sincere ad
miration of the thousands who have
been so fortunate to see her.
The picture is one that is admired
for its amazing beauty and its power
ful arraignment of mawkish prudery:
.. tinging in its rebuke of false social
•.'uistoms and a picture that will strip
..your mind and heart of all deceptive
ideals and leave in its place this gold
en though: “Nature unadorned, >s
essentially pure and beautiful.
“PURITY," together with Pathe
News of world-wide current events
will be presented at the Empress the
atre Tuesday evening, April 24, at
S p. m. A combination worth fifty
• cents yet there will be no advance in
price. However, the admission price
at the Empress attractions never has
changed unless positively necessary to
cover the increased cost of some big
film feature. 1 *

COUSINS OF THE CRAB.
Th* Llttl* Bug* You Often Find Under
■ D*oay*d Log.
Every one bus seen the curious little
dal gray creatures that scurry out of
sight when you tirt a decayed log or a
moss covered stone In the woods or
uear the water. They are the arma
dlllidla, or tsopods of the genus oni
scoldea. commonly called the arma
dillo, sow bug and pill bug.
They are really not bngs at all, but
crustaceans or distant relatives of the
crab, with gills provided with air tubes
not unlike the air tubes through which
insects breathe all over their body. ▲
favorite food of frogs, toads and sala
manders, the pill bug Itself subsists
largely on decaying vegetable matter,
and some believe It to be a useful
scavenger.
According to the Zoological Society
Bulletin, the name armadillo was giv
en It because of Its habit when dis
turbed of rolling itself up Into a ball,
as the mammal of South America does,
but the crustacean Is shrewder than
the mammal, for, whereas the arma
dillo never uncoils when It Is caught or
frightened—and therefore its shell of
ten serves as its own roasting pan In
the ovens of equatorial countries—the
pill bug after rolling Itself up once or
twice and discovering that it is still in
the presence of danger will give up the
useless stratagem and try to make off
unnoticed.
GOT A FURTHER REWARD.
Von Suppe, Hit Opera Tatinitza” and
Hie Lavish Publishers.
Frans tod Suppe, famous as an op
eretta composer, whose “Fatinltsa” is
perhaps best known of all his works,
fared badly In the financial disposal
of It.
Kranz, then a Vienna publisher, pur
chased the piece before it had been
produced, paying Von Suppe the equiv
alent of $180. The success of the work
was enormous. The famous old “Fatl
nitza” march is still a not unfamiliar
number in the variety houses. It earn
ed thousands, undoubtedly hundreds of
thousands, of gulden for the publishers.
When it had gone quite a way upon
its career Von Suppe wrote u iiolite
letter to the publishers suggesting that,
in view of the very small sum original
ly paid him and the amount which the
opera had earned for them, they might
think that some further reward was
not undeserved by him.
In a few days Von Sup|ie received
an equally polite letter from the pub
lishers thanking him for his letter,
stating that they quite agreed with his
standpoint and further saying that the
bearer brought with him a box of twen
ty-five choice cigars which the firm
hoped Von Snpi>e would accept witli
tlieir best compliments.—Argonaut.
Selecting Your Broker.
In the Woman’s Llouie Companion
Harold Howland has an article euti
tied “The Womtui Who Wants to In
vest." in which he says:
"A good broker is as vaunble to the
intending Investor as a good doctor to
the—presumably nuintendiug—invalid.
The broker knows tbe business. He Is
steeped in the facts of the world of
finance. His judgment is trained by
study and experience and observation.
His advice is worth having.
"But be sure he is a good broker.
There are charlatans and coutideuce
men even among stockbrokers, though
the proportion is uot nearly so high as
the novelists of ’high tluance* would
have us Itelleve. Be as careful in pick
ing out your broker as iu selecting
your lawyer or your doctor. Your
chance of getting a good oue if you are
equally careful is quite as good.”
Sho Told Him.
An Indianapolis wife took oue of her
children to a throat specialist. The
specialist looked into the juvenile
throat. “Tonsils poorly taken out,” he
declared crisply. "Have to be doue
over again.”
Then followed a brief explanation of
the reason why the offending tonsils
should be attended to again. "Who did
thia work?” asked tbe doctor, his face
assuming a keenly professional air as
though he mast know who bad been
thus derelict in bis profession.
"You did.” said the mother, with a
smile. And tbe doctor smiled too.—
