employed by a person of international i'm
portance If there is little in his subject to
attract public attention, he must invent
something, and the more prolific his invent
i've genius the greater success he attains in
his profession and the more valuable he is
to the firm of managers which employs him.
II has come to be generally we'll known that
a great many interesting things we read

Lillian Russells and Anna Helds are stories
fresh from the fertile brain of some hustIing
press representative, and are quite as new
to the persons about whom they are written
as to u.s. who read them with such child
like faith and establishment They are works
of art some of them, too, and II seems a
bit unfair that their authors may not step
forth and claim recognition for their skillful
handiwork.
1t is a positive fact that almost none of
the astonishing stories told about men and
women prominent in the dramatic profess
sion are true, and yet there Is not press
representative in New York who will not
join my large gentleman in declaring that
they have never once perpetrated fake

taken strength and directness.
