THAT Is, lin few words, Very lit de-

Irwin. Sings without exercising any other
muscles in her body except those attached
10 her vocal organs. She doesn't use
her feet to help her along. She stands III
footlghts, and Just sings, and binks
her eyes and shows a row Of pretty teeth.
But she sings In such a way that she
makes the entire nudence want to Join
in the chorus, She hasn't any wonderful
voice. That isn't the secret at all 1t, IS
Just the way she uses il, in connection

the audience could hardly resist joining
in the chorus. and in the afternoon a few
0f them did. Miss Cahiil's methods are
not altogether those of May irwin by any
means. She is not quite as domonstratlyo
rs the big warbler of coon songs. She Is
rather neater In her work than May.
