Aida Brines Laughter andQ Tears to Her Many Large Audiences. L By ADELAIDE KENNEKLY. ITTLK AIDA is here! Norma Talmadee is the leading woman in "The Moth." but to me that four-year-old baby, Aida, is the ; whole show, even though she takes a small part. , Why? , ; Because I know Aida. She is one of the most talented, temperamental (not temper), lovable children I have ever known. She is one of the few baby actresses who is not commer cialized by her mother. In a cozy apartment on Ninety-fifth street, between Central Park and Broadway, lives Mrs. Alicia Armond and her gifted little daughter, Aida. Through the windows of this apart ment, facing the south, dawn breaks every morning and it matters, not whether sun or rain, snow or sleet brings in the new day, it is a wonder ful day to Aida. Her exclamation is always cheery: . , ' "Oh, mother I Isn't this a wonderful day!" -. Aida knows nothing of the dark or sordid side of life. Her mother has guarded against such a marto her baby child. She plays only with the "stars" and is never allowed to come in contact with the ruffians who drift to (and oftei play in) moving pictures. Frequently Aida and her mother go to the poor folks on Blackwell's Island, where, the child sings, dances and recites poems to entertain the unfortunates.. She takes great inter- t ;---J X L ; , - X'-- r I ) X w i 'j .. .Ml Tlida Rtitiozid est in these people and sees ,thir best side because they all love her, Pavlowa, the Dolly Sisters, the Hawaiian dancers and a dozen others have held Aida's undivided attention Q She Does the Temperamental Dance of Pavlova; Also Hawaiian. during their performances. The fol lowing day Aida closes the door ol her room and in a few minutes, bursts forth with: "Oh, mother! I, can dance Pavlowa," or whoever she has been trying to imitate. To the music of a victrola the child, in costume, changes from the artistic dances of the world-famed artists "To the jiggely-wiggely Hawaiian move ments. From the light, amusing verses of James Whitcomb Riley at which her audience laughs, Aida switches to such sentimental, dramatic things as "Michael Flynn" and not a person can keep back the tears. When she pleads with Michael Flynn to end the strike that her child may have bread, she says: "As much as I hate you. Michael Flynn, I love my child," and you want to weep and grab the child and love her and kiss her and do all sorts of wild things which her care ful mother would not permit. Wher she recites the "Tar Tangled Ban ner" a slacker would feel patriotic "The Moth" is Aida's first picture she had acted in several since, but it was not work for herjust a big play day during which time Norma Tal madge was her mother and Mrs. Ar mond (her real mother playing the part of the nurse in "The Moth") was her nurse. I am not advertising "The Moth" or I should be writing about Norma Talmadge. I am writing this because I love little Aida and I want pthers to know just a wee bit about this baby Bernhardt in embryo when they see her in "The Moth."

Junior Club. The annual Christmas party given by the Junior club will not take place this winter; in fact the club does not expect to give any dances, owing to the fact that a great majority of the members are in the service and tliose who remain do not feel that it would be right to have social doings with so many of their number fighting for Uncle Sam.- . - Afternoon Bridge.

"Scarlet Bonnet," a two-act play in which there were five little queens, under the direction of Miss Mary Wallace, proved to be a pleasant bit of entertainment Friday night at the First Congregational church, bazar. The story was simple that of an old-fashioned boarding school, with the Misses Dorothy Guckert and Dorothy Sherman in the role of maiden ladies. They were costumed in basques and lace caps and acted their parts admirably. Charlotte Mc Donald and Polly Robbins, two little blonds, were entered as "guests" at the school and their extreme youth was more natural than affected. Maude Brown, in the role of "Miss Gordon, the aunt," had the grace of a grande dame and shows signs, of be coming a real actress. 'A free will offering of $9 was proof of an appreciative audience. . The bazar as a whole was reported to be a financial success by the La dies' society of . the . First . Congrega tional church, under whose' auspices it was given.
