HOW FORREST ADAIR MADE A STAR

By DUDLEY GLASS.

This was to have been an interview
with Villa Holt Wakefield. The ques-

the answers, too, for it's poor inter-
viewer who can't make his victims say
the things which best build a story. But
the bell rang Just then, and that's why
it turned into the story of Forrest Adair,
headliner- maker For if there hadn't
been a Forrest Adair there wouldn't be

It was society entertaining which
gave the Southern girl a chance. She
gave her little "pianologues" at several
fashionable homes. and built up a repu-
tation which spread beyond drawing
rooms to Broadway. Her first real stage
appearance was at the great annual
performance given by the Vassar stu
dents for charity fund, and several of
the New York managers were in the
audience to discover any new talent
which might have come to the surface.
They heard Villa Holt Wakefield, and

commend every item Of this

most serious consideration of all
