Miss Cunning Tells How
She Began Stage Career

Miss Louise Cunning, who comes TO
The Garrick, next week. in The Bal.
kan Princess, the musical play which
ran the greater part of last season in
New York, began her stage career
III a peCufrd-- way. Her father a
Baptist minister, in Boston, who had
very strict ideas as TO the eternal fit
ness of things. but unwittingly he as
sisted in pr><lring his daughter for
a professional life behind the foot
lights.
Il had natural voice says Miss
Cunning. "dnd when | was old enough,
| persuaded my father 10 allow me 70
sing in his choir. The next step, and
a natural one, was to take part in
church entertainments. II seemed as
though | had planned the whole thing
out ar least. my father said so after
| had landed on the stage.
MY first engagement was In vaude-
Vile, and made my own costumes
and selected my own songs, most or
them being Scotch. One night, Char
lev Hoyt heard me sing and after
wards sent his card TO -Sy dressing
room He engaged me for a small
part i'm one OF his companies. and this
proved to be the entering wedge, for,
short time afterwards. | became
leading woman with The Mandarin
company. After that followed pleas
ant engagements with De Wolf Hop
per in MIR PickwIek, with Frank
Daniels in The Office Boy and a
Joint starring tour with Louis Harri-
son in 'Veronique,' as we'll as an
engagement with Nine. Schuman-
Heink in Loves Lottery The sea
son after that | had the leading femi-
nine role in Tom Jones Then came
two-season starring tour in Pixley
and I.uder's operetta, Marcelle.
And so from church choir TO the
comic opera stage hasn't proven any
thing so dreadful after all. | found
that hard work and determination
were needed In both places and also
that noble character and human frail-
" are quite as common in one place
as another"
