for his circuit of theatres in the East. She
is known only as the Girl With the Auburn

mystery with which she is surrounded has
been rewarded here as in Chicago, by
thorough enjoyment of her performance.

as phenomenal. Few people have seen her
except across the footlights. and so care

with her and her personal manager, once
in Chicago and once here, has no idea who
she is. and is obliged to address her as
Miss Auburn. "

the most artistic, beautiful, and unique
in vaudeville today. The rest of the bill
