GIRL FORSOOK VASSAR
AND "MADE GOOD"
ON BROADWAY.

From the quiet OF classroom and dor
mitOry life as a student at Vassar Col
lege TO the glare and excitement OF a
leading woman's career on a Broadway
stage Is a far cry. but to encompass the
wide gulf between these two strangely
contrasted stations in life only a little
more than a year was required oy Miss
Vira Stowe. The Boston girl who is The
ingenue of tie Guy Standing company
at the BelaScO Theater.
Few, if any, OF the thousand-odd ac-
tTesses now before the public have had
a more interesting experience on the
professional stage than Miss Stowe.
and, by the same token. none of the
rising generation OF players have made
more rapid strides toward advancement
than she.
Two years ago while a student at
Vassar College, which Institution she
entered after a preparatory course at
one Of the most exclusive fitting schools
in New England. Miss Stowe had her
first try at theatricals when she was
called upon to appear in an amateur
performance given by the students.
Prior to that time Miss Stowe had
manifested but very little interest in
the affairs Of the world Of make-be-
lieve." and II required no little urging
on the part OF her classmates 10 have
her consent to appear. So marked.
however. was the talent she displayed
that she was warmly complimented BY
her friends. more than one of whom
predicted that, with some training, Miss
Stowe would be able to make a place
for herself in the qrofessional stage
In less than two months after the
first time she had ever walked behind
the footIghts, Miss Stowe had aban-
dOned her college career, and was
boarding Broadway managers in their
lsirs. While the rebuffs she met with
at first were disheartening, the Vassar
girl more than made up in pluck what
she lacked in experience, AMI she was
finally rewarded by obtaining con-
tract from Charles Dillingham;. Miss
Stowe frankly confessed TO this manager
that she had had no professional eXpe-
Tience whatever. but managed to i'm
press him with the faith she had IN her
own ability to make good if given an
opportunity. She was given a minor
part in the production of George AIDE s
slangy play of the life Of a Chicago
youth, called -Artie," and so hearty
were the Western critics in their COM
mendatiOn of the noviee's performance
that she was advanced to the role Of
leading woman before the AIDE play had
run a week.
When "Artie" terminated its New
York engagement Charles F'rOhman
made Mr.. Dillingham; an offer for Miss
Stoves services, with the result that
the Boston girl was given an important
role in Twenty Days in the Shade.
This week she win be seen in the i'm
portant role of the heroine, Alice
Faulkner, in Sherlock Holmes"
