CHORUS GRILL,

Miss Olsen, Stricken With APP
pendicitis, Refuses Treat
ment Here.

Miss Ester Olsen. member of the
Miss Innocence" chorus. did not take
her place on the Academy stage last
night She became suddenly III at
her room in the Richmond Hotel, and
when a physician, who was hurriedIy
summoned, made an examination he
found that she was suffering with an
attack of appendicitis, almost of the
acute form. An operation was neces-
sary. but Miss Olsen said that she
would not undergo an operation in
Richmond, that she preferred to return
to New York. even with it's attendant
risk. She could not be persuaded to
go to local hospital, and when she
held out there was nothing to do but
to put her on train.
Miss Olsen has been in this country
only a short while; She came over
from Sweden. and. like many foreign
ers, she believed that she could only
get the attention she needed in New
York City A. T. Pearson, advance
man for Jefferson de Angels, who
knew of the girls plight, offered to
take charge of her. and he left the
city with her for New York last night.
The physician who attended Miss
Olsen said that she was taking des-
perate chances in delaying the opera
tion, which should have been perform
ed yesterday when her illness was first
reported.

Having been Informed as to what
might be expected. the big audience
last night was not shocked Nobody
