THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 25, 1920. The National Emblem MAGGIE, of the "Bringing Up Father" comedies, with a . trusty rolling pin in her right Hand is likely to take the place of ,,,e American eagle as the national emblem, according to recent editorial comment in great metropolitan newspapers. Blasco Ibanez. the Spanish author, started the discus Mon in which Maggie and the roll ing pin figures and the following editorial from the New York Ameri can explains the matter clearly: "When Blasco Ibanez declared that the solution of the female prob lem lies in a reversion to cave-man stuff, and that women would be hap pier if men hit them on the heads more frequently, he piled up so much trouble for himself that it would be cruel to add to his load. If Mrs. Ibanez read what he said, Mr. Ibanez, when he gets to Spain, will get all that's coming to him good and plenty." The Evening Post, however, in taking a slam at Mr. Ibanez, takes the view that his knowledge of the American woman is based upon his study of the American comic sup plement. And in this connection ob serves: "He has seen the American press, in the face of paper famine, giving up court reports, abbreviating com mercial news, blue-penciling the treaty and the Eighteenth amend ment, dropping the literary supple ment, hut holding fast to the rolling pin and the astronomy of brain con cussion." This is a veiled compliment to American journalism. The rolling pin refers to Maggie, in the "Bring ing Up Father pictures." Margaret Fitzroy, the well known character actress, is now playing the part of "Maggie" in the movies and johnny Ray, of musical comedy fame, is playing the part of "Jiggs," the. victim of the rolling pin. The motion picture version is gaining as wide a popularity as the newspaper comic strip has enjoyed for years. The Real Interview The male star was being inter- d " "Yes," he admitted. "I really was born in Peoria, hutit won't do to say that. Bring me into the world in Greenland or Egypt or some other picturesque, impossible place. My publicity agents insists on it." So the interviewer wrote: "Little did the great explorer Dishpan think, when his son Julius first saw the light of day in the luxurious jungle of the upper Ama zon, that that son would one day become the film idol of a nation, etc." "Most of my spare time," resumed the star, "I spend watching movie .shows or playing rummy with the assistant director; but it will be best for you to make me out as some sort ) 1 getcha, said tnc interviewer, and wrote: "It is perhaps not known to many that Mr. Dishpan is a great admirer of Emeison, and in his spare mo ments he will often be found with a volume of Materlinck or Do stoievsky in his hands. Mr. Dish pan believes that Aristotle's theories were correct in the main, but he Usually disagrees with Bacon. This may be because Bacon disagrees with him." Tltn ttir rnntimird: "And in conclusion say that I am, I (II COUr&:, UIHUflllH-U tti.v. m... ........ Nmet a woman who couia interest me." h The interviewer did so and pre pared to take his leave. "Call again," invited the great one, "and if you want to see a pretty youngster, come up to tne nonsc some night and see my sixtn. vv mi hi Mne pv and vellow curls, he s o rinopr for mv wife." May Film o - - Fun. In Spain They Do These Things Neatly There is quite a difference in be ing . an impressario in the United States and in European countries, according to Cesare Gravina of the new Rupert Hughes comedy, "Scratch My Back." Signor Grav ina had his own company for more than 30 years producing opera in every large city in Europe, frequent ly at the command of royalty. ' A number of years ago he was playing in Madrid and King Alfonso and the queen-mother, then regent, came to the performance. Queen Isabella sent word to Signor Grav ina that Alphonso must leave the theater at 10:30 o'clock and express ed a wish that the performance be i i tvn Tf -Qc cnm Over uy i!4iv. v " . - thing of a puzzle, but royalty had ,jmtrbe obeyed even if the opera se lected tnat mgni nappeucu iu imvc tour acts and be unusually long. However, Signor Gravina cut it down and promptly at 10:30 the cur tain was lowered and the perform ance ended with Signor Gravina standing in front of the curtain, watoh in hand, bowing to the queen iu the royal box and saying: "It is ten-thirty. Your majesty's wishes are obeyed." Iter ( rr'S ) n If PSj , ' " Z . ' fewy I no " Q&L Constance '' XflRANotisy fjy - (grand) .
