MISS ODETTE TYLER
A BASHFUL AUTHOR

1t is not generally understood that
Miss Odette Tyler is the author Of the
play, The Red Carnation." produced
last week a the Belasco, but such is
the case. When this romantic drama
received It's initial presentation at the
YOrkville Theater. New York. last spring
Miss Tyler became possessed by nerv-
Gus dread that the critics might make
fun OF her ambition TO become a play
wright. She was already the author of
a book called Boss but knowing the
profession she feared that that alone
was not sufficient TO insure her from
the most rigid cross examination on the
part of the public and her friends as to
how she happe~ed 10 write the play,
what method she pursued in putting it
together. where she found her plot, and
how she managed to take the time to do
such a thing. At the last moment be-
fore the advertisements were printed
Miss Tyler announced her fra intention
of not stating her share In the new
venture. 1t was enough for her TO play
the star part. Accordingly she an
nounced The Red Carnation," by Eliza
beth Lee Kirkland.
No one had ever heard of Miss Kirk
land and when the story came out there
was a great deal of fun about II, for
Kirkland is Miss Tyler's maiden name,
her father being General kirkland. Her
stage title is Odette Tyler. purely f. ici-
ful, the Odette being from famous play
in which Clara Norris used TO appear
and which was great favorite OF little
Elizabeth Kirkland.
The Kirkland. however, was not recog-
nized by any save very intimate friends
and Miss Tyler is generally known of
the stage as Mrs. R. D. Shepherd Mr..
Shepherds stage name being MacLean,
I there is frequently some confusion.
/ Elizabeth Lee Kirkland-Shepherd-M Mac
Lean alias Odette Tyler IS combina-
tion difficult to those uninitiated in the
mysteries of professional nomenclature.
fThe Elizabeth itself is misleading, for
Miss Tyler is called Bessie by those who
| know her best.
At last they have her name straight
ened in New York, but few in Washing
ton knew that the announced author of
The Red Carnation," Elizabeth Lee
Shepherd, is none other than Odette

should be. as interest and attendance
should never be permitted TO diminish.

Vile artists receive large salaries, many
are wealthy. owning city and country
homes. others travel through Europe in
the summer for pleasure and II is with
difficulty that even average good bills
can be booked after the middle Of May
Another most important reason for
closing at this time is that the most
elaborate and extensive improvements,
involving the expenditure Of many thou
sands of dollars. will be made to the

and several weeks of time are required
within which TO complete the work. You
