Following is the entire program:
Shall She Go on the Stage?
By All Means If She Has Talent and
Grit.
BY ETHEL BARRYMORE.

She" is the young girl who feels that
she has talent and knows that she must
earn her living In some way. Some OF
her friends advise her to go on the
stage and some insist that she had
much better turn 10 any other honest
means Of livelihood. 1t is a question
which has been much discussed in the
past, yet which holds a living interest
TO those who contemplate a stage career
and to the friends of these. 1t depends
entirely on the girl.
II a girl really feels that she has tai

assure herself that she is not being in
fiuenced by that glamour which the
footlights have for some people I say
let her. by all means. go upon the stage.
don't know Of any other profession
which holds such big prizes for women
who score real successes. and even the
minor positions are likely to pay a girl
more than she viii earn in any other
line Of work with the same ability and
the same application.

more temptations than she will find else

and was then r. the company OF my IN
Gle, John Drew. so it may not seem fair
for me to make such a sweeping state
ment- Yet I think the statement entire
" justified. If a girl wants to make a
success she has got 70 work hard TO at
tain it, and the work viii take pp so
much OF her time that she VIII have
little opportunity TO indulge in late sup

On the other side of the question, 1
may say that the greatest drawback
leaves one very little time of ones
own. What with actual performances.
rehearsals, travelling. etc. one does not
have much time TO devote to the society
OF friends
Yet, taking everything into considera-
ton, + say let the girl take up the
stage-but first let her assure herself
that she has some talent. is willing TO
work hard, and can put away social
life into a distinctly secondary posi-
ton

that is all there is TO my being "a social

Variety and Vaudeville.
Billy Van Compares the Two Fields
With Frankness.

Billy b. Van. the comedian. at Chase's
this week. is rather proud OF the fact
that he won his first spurs in variety.
before entering vaudeville. In speaking
OF the value of an experience in variety,
Mr.. Van said recently:
There Is hardly a comedian that has
been or is now prominent before the
public that has not had more or less
experience on the variety stage. You
might be surprised II l were to call
some names-and there are others-like
Goodwin. Scanlon. Emmett. SIacAvoy.
and Seabrook, whose variety careers
everybody is familiar with. Variety
teaches a comedian self-confidence. be
cause he can indulge in a familiarity
with his audience that quickly enables
methods are liked.
1T develops resourcefulness also, be-
cause II he is playing In a sketch OF IN
an after-piece he and the other actors
along with him are more frequently the
real authors than the men whose names
are credited on the program This lib
erty is not always permitted in the
legitimate. and the consequence is that
parts cannot be built up by the come
dams as they are in variety.
Variety is changing just about as
gradually as the legitimate. The tend
ency all the time is toward SPECIALIZE
ton of talent and toward cleanliness

lecture only to suggest the natural beau

which fixed the attention Of his hearers

scenes from the canyon Of the Yellow

Mr.. Buikley's style is as vigorous ana
