Nita Naldi, wickedest woman of the screen, stormed into the editorial rooms of THE NEWS yes- Produced by PREFERRED PICTURES. Presented in the RIALTO THEATRE. "Maytime" happens to be one of those long drawn out love stories. It leaps from generation to generation with the ease of the cinema, giving Ethel Shannon a chance to play two Ottilie 1 oAn Bui Gefs Court's Goat and Reprimand. John Bull came into court yesterday.

But not on charges of imperialism. It was for just plain violation of the sanitary code by failing to improve the condition of his domicile. It happened in Yonkers. Judge Boote dismissed John Bull and a neighbor in City court with a reprimand when they promised to improve sanitary conditions. Van Zandts, one of an olden, hoopskirted day and one of modern times.

Likewise it presents the exquisite Harrison Ford as two Richard Waynes. Life would be a bit stranger than it is now if reproduction of type were accomplished with the unerring precision of the camera. These two Richards vary only in the length of their sideburns. The two Ottilies may be told apart by the fact thr.t one uses makeup on her lashes and the other does not. The romance, anyhow, proceeds stickily on its of.

Clara Bow way. In the early part of the film, Miss Shannon is adored by Mr. Ford, who, being only a gardener, lacks what we call the background ACTRESS TRAILS DIRECTOR LOVER ON SUICIDE PATH Los Angeles, June 1. Heartbroken over the suicide of Lew Mason, a motion picture director whom she had expected to marry, beautiful twenty-two-year-old Cecil Werner, an actress, followed Mason along the path known as the easiest way out. Cecil took poison.

Her body was found in a little room she had occupied since her arrival here a few weeks ago to enter motion pictures. Much Too I'aht. In the note which Mason wrote just before he died and which was found near his body, after polico roke into his gas-filled mom, the movie director said: "It's too much; much too fast." The hours that followed the suicide of Mason, Cecil Werner, the girl who loved him, likewise reflected on the swift sequence of events which followed her brief romance with the director and jut before she ended her life she, too, wrote a note, a portion which read "It is too much for me not worth the ending. Found Life Futile. "It all seems so futile to me.

I'm not the least bit atraid." When the young actress killed herself she disregarded the advice of the man she loved, who had written in his farewell epistle: "Never lose your sense of humor. Always keep your HIGH SEAS POUND HAWAIIAN BEACHES Honolulu, June 1. The highest surf in years was reported from all the islands today and attributed to the volcanic disturbances.

He dashes out west and digs up much gold, but by the time he (the digging takes quite a spell) his love has married a rich rival, Wallace Mac-Donald. (Don't miss Wallace in this. He's too sweet!) However, love finds a way, even though it has to skip a period of fifty years. In 1924 Harrison and Ethel meet, love and marry, with a few spicy quarrels sandwiched in just by 1 of Nita's efforts to But Nita had other things to say. It seems the SUNDAY NEWS recently carried a story about Nita's real name being Nonna Dooley and it went on to tell just how Nita had been a naughty little mischief maker at a nearby convent and had finally risen to a phenomenal success on the screen.

But in spite of THE NEWS' extensive investigation on the subject, Nita didn't like the story at all, at all. She says that her real name is Gianna Naldi, and that her papa's "name was Angela Naldi, while her mother's maiden name was Assunta Cantieri. She indignantly denied that she went to one convent, asserting, instead that she went to three. And she never caused any trouble in the convents because she was very-quiet and wanted to become a school teacher. 'Twas the Fat.

"It isn't that I mind being called Dooley. Rudy Valentino's name has been printed as Pinnegan and Doug Fairbanks has been labeled David Levinsky. The minute you become famous, relatives turn up from everywhere under the sun. "The name didn't bother me," continued Nita, "in fact, there was very little that bothered me. But when I read that I was getting fat Ugh Nita believes that the handsomest man in the world at the present time is Rudolph Valentino and her idea of the most beautiful woman is Rudy's wife, the former Winifred Hudnut.

The article said her real name which she denies) is Nonna Ethel Shannon and Harrison Ford way of excitement. That familiar tune beginning "Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart, will you love me ever?" enlivened the stage version of this easy going romance. Certainly it must have been a happier thing behind the footlights than it is in its present form.
