with Miss Trixie Friganza, who is well
known IN Cairo and vicinity, having
been born and raised in Mound City.
She las been for several years one OF
/ the foremost stars in America and her
popularity is ever increasing and one
/ can hardly pick up a dramatic paper
( on magazine without seeing her name
/ prominently mentioned. The New
Yorf papers have been filled with
"TriXie Frlganza' for many months.
/ For Inc benefit Of our many readers
VINO have watched her progress
through the papers. The Bulletin
prints the following from the New
( York Telegraph OF recent issue. The
article is an interview with Miss FRI
ganza by William j. Hampton ana
tells of how the popular star got her
start in the profession:
A Name to conlure With.
Trlxie Friganza.
That's a name to conjure with, isn't
ii?
Soubretty to beat the bandoline, too
and keeps you guessing; whether she
IS a spanish senorita or a distinguish
ed member OF the Txfzg family OF
Russia. Before had asked her my
self about it, wise guy told me her
real name was Murphy. He's the mu.
steal instrument that Apollo struck,
that's what he is. Her real name isn't
Murphy.
What is it, if it isn't Murphy?
Well. if you must know, il is Gladys
Gwendolyn Montmorenici. Now, will
you he good?
In response to my polite request by
mail for an interview with Miss Fri.

She had said she was usually in the

her on the top floor. But I didn't. Up
only Two flights, she received me in a

One rather expects lady with a
name like that to come in on pirou-
cite and shake a headful Of peroxide
tresses at him. But Miss Friganza
doesn't answer that description at all.
On the contrary. she walks with dig
nifty and her hair is raven black, with
a complexion almost olive, and eyes Of
dark gray in which the smile. that
makes her "Trixie. is always dancing
to the music Of her voice. That may
sound like press agent talk. but as
