n INSIDE the theater the great big
electric sign spelled Belle
Baker" in flashing letters, pro-
claiming to all the world how i'm
portant person that young favorite
is in vaudeville.
But behind the scenes in her dress
ing room Belle Baker wrapped up in
two warm kmonos, despite the warm
weather, was shivering with nervous
ness and worry. and was far removed
from the joyous and oy-inspiring ar
fist who wins the hearts Of her audi
ence by her excellent comedy work, her
rich voice, and her winning personal
ity
"Oh, I'm always SO nervous every
Monday" said Miss Baker, looking at
me with great big mournful eyes
But this is Tuesday. Why should
you worry? Besides. you're a head
liner and you always make good.
Doesn't the electric sign say so?"
Belle Baker wouldn't be comforted.
She is not yet nineteen years old
that is. her actual age; not her stage
age.
Her pretty round face is stiIl that of.
child, and only the great big, dark
eyes show that Belle Bakers career
has not always been an easy one, and
that her success has been earned by
much work, hard struggle and anxiety.
am going TO repeat what Miss
Baker told me about her life, because
while l hope it Will scare some foolish
girls from the mad desire of breaking
into vaudeville, it will show others,
those few who really have the talent,
nerve persistence and who lack vanity
enough to learn by their own mistakes.
that this great country of ours is full
of opportunities for the girl with the
right spirit.
You've probably all seen Belle Baker;
you know that she can take her audi
ence right along with her; you've seen
her name printed in fat type on the
program, you know that she's the hit
of the bill, and that she gets a CORE

planned Miss Baker to me. But YOU

No need. Wash the Fels-Naptha way

FelS-Naptha dissolves the dirt; makes

Clothes last longer, too--washed with
