THE PLAYER FOLK

It IS something Of a coincidence that
Grace Orr Myers and Adelaide ManoIa
should be playing together in the same
company this season. They are both
with Frank Daniels in Miss Simplicity"
at the Columbia. appearing in the princi-
pal feminine roles.
4 decade ago. when Chase's Theater
was known as AIbaugh's Grand Opera
House, the mothers of these two young
women played together with the McCau1
opera company at the Grand. when that
company played a summer season here
Marion ManoIa was the prima donna of
the company. and Annie Myers. the SOU
bTette. Both were very popular with
local audiences. In the same company
were Jefferson De Angels, Digby Bell.
Hubert Wilke. Laura Joyce Bell, and
several others then unknown to fame,
who have since become prominent in
the operate world.
Annie Myers is at present playing with
the TivoH opera company in San Fran
cisco, and her daughter IS authority for
the statement that she still possesses a
good voice. aud appears TO be almost as
young as when she tripped lightly across
the boards aJ Albaugh's.
Grace Myers took to the stage very
naturally. When a child she would go
with her mother TO the theater. and long
to plunge into the light of the calcium.
but Annie Myers did not care to have
her become identified with the theatrical
business.
About five years ago, Annie Myers
went 10 San Francisco, and her daughter
remained at home. in Baltimore. The
parents Of the young woman had been
gone about two years when the heredi-
tary longing for the footlights seized
Miss Grace, and she determined to make
her debut. She procured an engagement
with an opera company playing in Bal
timore. and acquainted her parents in
far-oT California with the fact. When
she had concluded her first performance
Miss Myers was handed a telegram from
Frisco. It was from her father 1t con-
tanned this premptory message.
Leave the stage at cnce and come 10
US
Naturally Miss Myers was 1isacpoint-
ed and heartbroken. She had made up
her mind to obey her parents, however,
when the next day, to her delight, came
another message from her mother in
forming her that she could fill her en-
gagement. and that she had the best
wishes OF her parents
Miss Myers has been on the stage ever
since; not so long. It's true, but her
rise has been rather rapid.
After playing for a short tims in Bal
timore, she went TO California for a
short engagement in the anne company
with her mother Francis Wilson heard
OF her and offered her a small part in
