OPERA RESPONDS TO NEW TENDENCIES OF THE STAGE

inch waist measure might find more
congenial employment
Il OFTEN wonder what managers think
when these girls present themselves on
a verbal recommendation from Jessie
Bartlett Davis. Now in reality. I do
often advise a girl to go on the stage
10 join In chorus and work her way up.
This is when hear possibilities in their
singing voice, and realized that to vocal
cultivation they must add stage pres
ence, and that they already possess the
strength of physique and that peculiar
quality, personal magnetism. Then 1
try to give them a good solid practical
advice, letters to instructors and mana
gers and set them straight on the road
TO musical success. But when a girl
goes around the country prating that
she is the protege OF Jessie Bartlett
Davis (who ought TO have better sense
by this time than to see every stage
struck girl who applies for admittance).
and yet can offer no written proof Of
my interest in her career. she is drawing
on that vivid Imagination which leads
many a misguided girl TO the stage in
search, not of work, but Of amusement
and the ease she seldom finds"

William Norris is having an unusual

much a matter OF reduction now, but
rather keeping himself down 10 weight.
In every city that the Prince Of Pill
sen visits, Mr.. Ransone makes II a
business to take his regular outdoor
exercise. This consists of skipping a
rope and running a mile during the
process. In a certain Pennsylvania city
recently he was followed by a curious
crowd during his skipping rope stunt
At first a couple of butcher boys joined
In the chase; then three cabmen, and
finally mob made up Of the most in

He was overtaken near the depot con-
