suddenly become so tame they would

Recently Eleanor Robson and Mary

favoritef managed To escape on TIE

aU-- seven curtain calls apiece at the
end az The third act. without being
forced 60 make speeches. without b.
ing subjected 10 vigorous sereuadiuE
Ia their dressing rooms after the play,
and without being escorted to their
hotels by pushing, josJling mobs OF
several hundred girls.
a all came about because President
l.. Clark Scelye took notice OF the fact
mat his girls were carrying matters
with a very nigh hand. The climax
arrived when Marie poro played in
the Academy OF Music Every seat
IL the house was taken, and . per
cent OF the audience was composed Of
Smith students. At the enc OF che
first act their applause was very Wig
orous. After the second there vas 8
very great volume. When the cur
tain fell after the third act the out
burst was such that the actress, after
responding to seven curtain calls, made
a brief speech, In which she explained
that she could not make a speech, al
though she had been practicing for the
.-st year.
Then there was another explosion on
the part OF the audience, and the bal
cony. which was occupied almost eX-
clusiveiy by Smith girls, made fra tic
efforts TO obtain another speech. When
the play was over, every college girl
made her way to the stage door. and
there a group OF 500 OF them proceeded
10 do what has been done TO every
dramatic star for the last ten years
TO sereusde Miss Doro The name or
the actress was woven into college
songs, which were sung with great
Servor. And there were calls Tor the
star. calls and calls and calls, until
she looked smilingly out OF the win
dow Of her dressing room.
