Something About Little Tuesday,
and stage People Generally.
Said a man from the East who is well
posted on amusement matters:
Il notice that Little Tuesday, the
child artist, is on her first tour of the Pa
citic Coast with her uncle's Still Alarm
Company. She is a niece of Joseph Ar
/ thur, the author and proprietor of Still
Alarm; also, of Blue Jeans two
very popular comedy dramas. She,
l believe, got the namo3 she has made
famous IN the way she was born at Long
Branch, \. J., less than six years ago,
/ and it being Tuesday when she arrived
her uncle, in his rejoicing at her arrival,
/ called the little stranger Little Tues
day
''She has made the name famous, and [
suppose will only lose it by outgrowing
ii.
Personally Tuesday is one of the
brightest, prettiest, most charming of
chlIdren, wholly unconscious of the art
nature endowed her with, yet it enters
INTO her whole being, is a part of her.
W hat Tuesday is in the glare OF the
footIgnts she is at home. Her talk is inter
eStIng, her ideas always beautiful and artis-
Tic, yet she is achild. She likes dolls, has a
score or more, and loves them; has pet

they become battered, unsightly, with a
limb missing and the internal sawdust
leaking out their doll lives, ner affections
cling all the closer, like the love Of true
mother for an unfortunate child.
'She likes stories OF good Indians, of
fairies and goblinS and elves, and if YOU tell
her OF these she is yours forever: and she
is the most charming listener. She cud-
dies on your lap, puts little waxen arms
around your neck, nestles her sunny
head on your shoulder, and the lights
and shadows come and go i'll her glorious
blue eyes, the dimples dance or her
peachy face, her little rosebud lips part
over her pretty teeth, and she is so silent
her little arms Will squeeze her approval
of your story, and at the end, if she is
pleased, she will beg for 'AnoZer: please
tell me anozer. Please do.'
ION the stage she is the same charming
personality. Her little songs are sung in
a sweet, baby voice, but with a style all
her own. She is not like any other.
When her teacher said to her, in teaching
her to initiate negro walk, Tuesday. do
it like this she says, No, am doin'
to do it wike this and she toddled across
the floor IN coon shuttle that would
cause May Irwin to die with envy. Her
dances are the rhythmical romp OF child
at play"
