BIGGEST ATTRACTION OF
THE MONTH.
HAD DANGEROUS ROLE.
"The Masque of Life," a supremely
thrilling film spectacle in seven
reels, which has already startled
every European capital and captured
New York by its sheer novelty, will
be seen here at the Victoria, wita
musical accompaniment. It intro
duced to the screen a new emotional
star, "Mile. Evelyn," whose work puts
her in the first rank of picture play
wnen "Mademoiselle iTeiyn ' re
ceived a' contract to star in "The
Masque of Life," at a figure greater
than she had ever dreamed of before,
though she was the highest paid
star oi a famous Italian circus, she
was simply overjoyed. Evelyn, be
it " known, is only 19 years old, and
r though she has been, riding circus po
nies bareback, teaching- them stunts
and doing some aerial work and bal
let dancing "on the side," she has
never before approached a salary of
3,000 lira a week, which, being trans
lated, means about $600 in gold coin.
So when Count de Cippico, the fa
mous Italian producer, and creator of
"The Masque of Life,',' wanted a star
who could do all manner of stunts,
and still carry out the tremendously
dramatic heart interest scenes which
the picture requires ho thought ' of
Mile. Evelyn and made her the offer
which seemed so fabulous to her. But
that was before shj read the scenario.
