cess. \
Several seasons ago she was play
ing q minor role with a popular COM
pany and was booked to appear in q
certain city on the thirteenth Of the
month. When she reached the hotel
she was assigned to room thirteen
and the prima donna told her she
would surely meet with bad luck be-
fore the engagement was over.
This was not long in coming. On
the way up to her room the elevator
became STALLED" between the third.
and fourth floors and after an hours
delay the future star was e%xtricated by
means of a %step-ladder. That after
loon she barely escaped being run
down by a street car and during the
evening performance a sandbag fell
from the "gridiron'' to the stage, miss
ing her by about three inches. BY that
time Miss White was beginning to
think there might be something in,
the Jonah number after all.
While she was sitting in her dress
ing thinking about 1t a knock
came to the door. It proved to be
the stage manager who came to tell
her that the prima donna had sprained
her ankle and that she would have to
play her part. The injury was more
serious than was at first supposed
and in a few days the prima donna re
turned to New York. Miss White made
a big hit in the role, playing it all
season. From that time to this she
has been a star, although she is now
scarcely 26 years Of age.
After that Miss White began writing
ahead to hotels to reserve her num-
Der thirteen. room, but found that
not one in a dozen had such a room.
The one that ought to be thirteen was
either twelve and a half or fourteen.
