desired to develop Annals singing voice
as much as possible.
That season lasted seven months, and
il is a coincidence that Mr.. L. Stoddard
Taylor now manager of the Belasco
$heatcr was then Miss AnSlin's business
representative. We were fortunate in
having the protection and care that first
season OF Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor, who
Travelled with us.
''In that time got a new viewpoint of
the stage and its people. From that day
TO this I have yet to come in contact
with any of the alleged Objectionable
Seatures which ! had at first feared.
Il saw that my daughter had talent
which IL properly developed might lead
to n great future for her. She could
earn more money in that profession than
In any other open to her. We have both
been accorded the best and most cour-
teous treatment from all our associates.
and l have found that the life and
travel has been more OF a means to a
liberal education and Independence than
any OF my other children have enjoyed.

fession.

There is a belief, all too common, that
the stage is no place for a girl or young
woman Of refinement.
This, perhaps, comes from the old
EIizabethan edict that all playerfOlk
we're vagabonds.
That this former structure is untrue is
gladly born witness to by Mrs. Wheaton,
mother of the dainty little musical COM
edy comedienne. Anna Wheaton, of the
Sam Bernard company, playing He
Came from Milwaukee
In an interview with Mrs. Wheaton
yesterday in the dressing-room Of her
daughter ut the Belasco Theater she was
asked why she permitted her daughter
to adopt the stage for a profession.
Why did I allow my daughter to go
on the staKe?" repeated Mrs. Wheaton,

seems the most natural thing now,
though" after an interretrospecttve
pause, ''of course, 1t was different in the
beginning
Just why 1t appeared different can be
gathered from a brief summary OF Annals
family and her bringing up. The Whea-
tons are an old and distinguished South
ern family. Anna was born In Savannah.
Ca, where her grandfather, Capt. John
F. Wheaton, had been mayor for three
terms Anna's immediate family, meet
ing with financial reverses, moved to
Washington, d. c., when Anna was two
years old and where her mother had and
still has five married sisters. Here Anna,
the youngster in a family OF eleven. went
to school until her mother moved TO New
York, when Anna was about ten years
old.
And in that city. and about that time,
Anna first experienced the lure Of the
footlights.
I'm New York." continued Mrs. Whea-
ton, 1--WE lived near the Berkeley Lyceum
Theater. One OF our neighbors knew
Miss Margaret Angiin. the actress. very
wen, and a daughter OF that family was
Anna's chum. One day Anua's friend
took her to the Berkeley Lyceum to see
Miss Anglin rehearse The Eternal Fem

eleven years old, n she would Ike 10 go

To Clean EiderdoJyn.

Mrs. B.: Eiderdown may be washed in

not to soak or boil, and do not allow
the goods TO remain in dirty water.

as hot water will turn the goods yellow.
