down as one OF the persons who
synonymize humor and wit
Many women" l told him, "are
witty, but few are humorous"
This woman is one Of the few,
he averred. Her ability to amuse in
an oral way extends beyond the per-
Petration of puns, the singing of
slang or the exploding of epigrams.
Her spirit OF fun is profound, mellow,
deliberate"
Thus was unconsciously given the
tp that led to Miss Coverings adop-
tion as the subject for this page.

ton when I proposed the interview.
All right-let's," l acquiesced.
Well don't you think this thing of
formally interviewing stage women
for publication is rather silly?"

Snufling and Giggling
Her playing of the village gossip
with a harelip in "All on Account of
Eliza" gave me primal inkling that
she was a natural comedienne, for I
knew that the authors instructions
to the actors called for no such labial
defect, and conviction that her spirit
OF comedy was instructive came when
she giggled in +"The Undertow." Her
giggling elevated to bigness a part
that would have been vapid without
the infectious embellishment.
