l will show you that supports either dramatic
school" or teacher OF elocution whose pupils hope
some day to shine before real audience.
There are styles in stage-struck girls, as in art
and in gowns. There was day when the stage
struck girl was a creature OF tears, emotions and
wild schemes for euding watchful parents The
stage-struck girl of decade Jack thought she sim
ply must run away from home to court success.
Today all this has changed. The stage is regard
ed by girls as serious They prepare for it
by more or less study. They enter upon the career
with the full consent of their parents The average
letter which l receive from stage-struck girl to-
day reads something like this:
Il have been seriously considering the stage as a
profession. l feel the need OF a career and think
my talents are largely dramatic. am graduate
of -- College, where | specialized in English
literature and the drama, and | have done some
work as member OF the --- Dramatic CLUB

cept even the smallest role in your company ETC..
That is the sort OF letter which makes an actor
or manager sit up and take notice. 1t is the sort
of letter which should make the mothers OF daugh-
tiers do likewise.

prime was of the cleverest light condolences
