Julia Murdock Tells of the Success
Achieved BY Capital Child Actress
Little Helen Hayes Brown
Will Be Seen Here Again
This Week.

To be able to buy French pastry tarts
filled with raspberry jelly is a heaven
to WHICH any ordinarily healthy child
may well aspire, and to which, 1t must
be confessed. the longing eyes of
great many grown-up folks will turn as
we'll, but think of being paid really
good money to eat 322 such tarts, all
made to order, just the proper size, for
ones mouth.
But the wonderful part of this state
ment Is that 1t is not merely hypo-
thetical, but an actual fact and the
little girl who Is the heroine of II all
IL living right here in Washington.
Her name Is Helen Hayes Brown, and
che Is a bona fide member of the Colum-
bia, Stock Company. Patrons of the
company remember her as Little Lord
Fauntleroy in the play of that name
given here last year, ard lately as the
youngest in Seven Sisters.
Little Miss Hayes was quite sure as 10
the number of tarts, for she sa
There was one tart for each perform
ance, and they had to be Just the right
size, because there were Just so many
She was playing Fanny Hicks, in Lew
Fields play last season, which she very
appropriately called The Tart Show
In her scene with VIII Archie, wh1
artfully tastes the tart, debating all tho
time with Jimmy as to what kind 1t
really is. until the dainty is gone.
or course all OF this little girls time
Is not consumed in eating tarts. Far
from 1t, for Helen is very busy
little girl, and makes much more use
or her time than do most people. She
is pupil of a prominent private school
in New York. she regularly attends
school each day, from l to 4 o'clock
receiving the undivided attention Of
three expert teachers. When on the
road the same hours are maintained.
With her mother, who Is with her con-
stantly, as the agent of the instructors,
and with daily reports going forward
along, with the manuscripts in her
involved in the regular curriculum, this
ambitious little girl Is studying music
and French-in fact at the present time
she can converse almost as easily in
this language as most children can in
English.
The closest attention, as any one who
has ever seen Helen will readily testi-
fy, Is given to the subject of hygiene
and the question of her physical well
fare is considered one OF more import
ance; In fact, than that of her mental
training. When one remembers that
little Miss Hayes is scarcely more than
enviable record, It would not seem un-
natural II she were a little self-con-
scious, but 1t would be hard to find a
child who Is less spoiled and who could
take the successes this little maid has
| had with more modesty and poise.
Her greatest charm, perhaps, Is that
she is just a real, sure-enough child
after all. who is lucky enough to be en-
dowed with unusual talent, and who
has a wise and loving mother who min
/ listers to her every mental and physical
need. Her father is a well-known
Washington merchant and her mother
is one of those substantial women
whose personality is reflected in the
sweetness of her child.
Helen first developed histrionic aspra-
