HER MARVELLOUS VOICE

Mrs. Patrick Campbell and Pinky-
Panky-Poo arrived shortly after noon
today on the North Coast Limited
from Seattle. To greet her at the
station were Ernest Leverson and
Miss Leverson, former acquaintance
in London, Mr.. Bryant Of Mrs. Camp
bells company and Press reporter.
Mrs. Campbell did not immediate
ly emerge from her car. Indeed the
impression gained about the station,
where there were many eager to get
a glimpse of the great English ac-
tress, was that something had hap
pened to prevent her coming. TO
the knowing ones the lighting up Of
MIR. Leversons face indicated that he
had seen Mrs. Campbell. Then a tall
woman with sparkling black eyes,
who was dressed entirely in black
save for a lace collar trimming and
silver girdle, stepped from the train
with diminutive dog of sandy COM
plexion under her arm. They were
Mrs. Campbell and Pink Panky- Poo
She greeted Mr.. and Miss Leverson
cordially and waved her hand in
recognition of Mr.. Bryant. Then a
few words passed and Mrs. Campbell
released Pinky- Panky-Poo from be-
meath her arm. The doglet made it
self at home Immediately and Mrs.
Campbell talked with her friends.
THAT dog would stand a devil of a
show with a little kitten. What is
it?' was the irreverent remark pass
ed by brutal brakeman as he eyed
the companion of Mrs. Campbell s
joys and sorrows, work and play for
the past six years.
What a fine little thing" ejaculat-
ed Mr.. Leverson.
Yes, she's been with me for six
years. observed Mrs Campbell
Those who heard her voice as she
made this commonplace statement
were startled. Never before had they
heard such conversational tones Full.
deep, vibratory, they came. There
was nothing suggesting the stage in
it, 1t was a casual remark but the
voice and its quality were remarkable.
Mrs. Campbell consented to the pre-
sentation of The Press representative.
A hearty shake of the hand and a
an illumination of strong. womanly
face constituted about all of the in
terview.
Il do not like to talk" said Mrs
Campbell. in those marvellous tones,
chest tones but not in the least sug-
gestive of anything other than the
full bloom of womanhood. Yes. this
is my first visit to this side of your
continent"
What is your impression of nature
here?"
Wonderful
"And business2"
Excellent"
And Spokane?"
I'VE will have hard work-those
two plays in one day-but we will do
our best and hope to please YOU
Then Mrs. Campbell was whisked
away TO a suite of rooms engaged for
her at the Spokane. The lobby was
thronged to see her. She did not go
to the desk to register, but. accom-
panied by Miss Leverson, Immediately
retired
slightly stoop shouldered," OBJ
served one bystander.
Eyes. Rut it is slight-rather adds
to her figure" said another
Then Mr., Leverson had an expert
ence. The waiting cabby was on hand
and wanted 81 for driving the quar-
tet from the station.
Outrageous" said Mr., Leverson.
Take n dollar or nothing"
The cabby took the "simoleon" and
Mr.. Leverson registered protest
with the reporter to the effect that
the man wanted a graft"
