MISS NEVILLE FEELS AT
HOME IN WORCESTER

IT shall always remember Worcester
with the greatest pleasure" said Dor
othy Neville last night to The Spy
man. you see it was at the Worces-
ter Theatre several years ago that I
made a hit-if I do say it--in Lady
Slavey' Marie Dressler was unable to
go on for the performance, and at
o'clock the manager told me 1 would
have to take the part, and do the aero
baltic dance. / felt awfully nervous.
but I went on and was received SO
nicely by the audience. And the next
morning the papers said nice things
about me.
so, you see, regard Worcester as a
fine place, and think its people are
lovely OF course / shouldn't tell you
all this, for It sounds conceited, but Il
/ don't tell you how are you going to
know about it2'' This was said in such
a naive way that the hardened newspa-
per man could but SMILE
Miss Neville, who. by the way, is no
relation to George Neville seen at the
Park last week, has been on the stage
for more than 10 years, and has always
been known for her good looks and her
beautiful gowns. She is busy on a
monologue which ought to make a hit.
She will try 1t, probably. on the Keith
circuit She is also busy on a curtain
raiser, written by her at odd moments,
which win be brought out during the
holidays. She always makes hit In
her work by taking the audience into
her confidence. She comes close to the
footlights, and talks so confdentially
that everybody feels at once her
friends, the women admire her swag-
ger gowns and the men rubber at
her handsome figure.
In limitations. songs and clever
dances she has always made good. This
AL n ~
from New York, Edward Percy, who
assists her. her own voice being under
repair for a time, owing to a severe
cold taken In Cincinnati where she met
a frost, as she says, which caused all
the trouble.
