Louis Lowe Jr.

"It was In the years Just before the fire and I was so young that I can remember little about It," says MIsb Lowe, who Is a fascinating, blue-eyed little blonde. "My aunt a very elderly woman, was Mervyn Donahue's aunt. Her maiden name was Donahue Susan Donahue, I suppose, as she was my Aunt 1 do not know any more about the Donahue relation -ships, but I understand that the family built and owned a railroad and a ferry line. "My aunt had a private chapel In the house In which we lived on Fillmore street. I do not know whereabouts on Fillmore street the place was, but the house stood through the fire and was afterward made over Into business property.

It was a mansion, with about forty rooms. The Kiners and Martins and Murphys and Burkes were all related to us, but I have never heard of any of them since." Nationally, as well as locally, Miss Lowe has distinguished family connections. Her grandfather, Enoch Louis Lowe, was the "boy governor of Maryland," having reached the required age of 80 years only three days before election. The more recent governor of Maryland, Phillip Lee Goldsborough, Is her cousin. Her great-grandfather, General Bradley Lee, was a hero of the Mexican War.

The great Canadian Northwest has again been made the background of a Halph Connor story, this time "The foreigner" having been made Into a photoplay under the screen title of "God's Crucible," which comes Sunday to the Portola. It tells a story of a young political refugee who goes to Canada and there, through sincere effort, achieves a great success. Gaston Glass and Gladys Coburn are the leading players. A comedy, short reel features and Harry tox has proved himself about the biggest kldder and Kmi-lle Lea the greatest kicker that the Orpneum has seen.

Claire Adams, who has played So Insisient has been the demand to witness the appearance of Kodolph Valentino and Mae Mur ray in "The Delicious Little Devil" that the management of the Imperial, where they are crowding the house at each performance, announces a second week, to begin Sunday. Valentino appears to fine advantage as the man-about-town who aspires for the attentions of the cabaret dancer ably portrayed by the capable and fascinating Mae Murray.

It took Charlotte Greenwood six years to learn that she was funny; it took another year for her to reconcile herself to that fact. But to see her In "Letty Pepper," which comes to the Century Sunday-night, one would think that she had been funny since she left the cradle.

Nothing could be further from the truth. She was a most surprised mortal when people told her that her angular gyrations with her limbs brought laughs, and that her long, lithe form was of the sort that could be contorted In mirth-provoking style. There was one great obstacle that Miss Greenwood had to overcome before she attained her present personality. It was her hatred of looking absurd. Experience cured her of her pride in this regard.

"The reason that so few women are funny Is because they absolutely refuse to be or look ridiculous," Miss Greenwood avers. "I dodged the Issue for some time myself and kidded myself Into the belief that I was going to be a big dramatic star and play prima donna roles like the great celebrities, but nature had to be served and nature never intended this fair Charlotte for anything but comedy."
