| 1t is harder to be a successful SOU
brette than to be prima donna.
So says charming Myrtle Dingwall,
whose soprano voice and lightsome
dancing has made her a great favorite
at the Tivoli, where she appears
nightly as the soubrette in various
sorts of comic opera.
Now, Miss Myrtle is not keen about
making the stage her life work. She
would much rather stay at home and
study something really serious, as she
isays herself.
What would you study?"
Anything that would improve my
mind" responded Miss Dingwall. who.
by the way. is an ardent anti-suf-
fragette.
'wouldn't you like to be a prima
donna and have the world at your
feet?"
"Oh. yes. in a way. But a soubrette
has more fun and better roles; that is,
if one is a, good soubrette,T and the
young lady laughed as though it were
good joke.
Unless you desire to work hard,
girls. don't go on the stage. This is
Miss Dingwalrs advice to aspiring
girIhood. Miss DingwaIl says that an
operatic career is most alluring from
that great space in front of the foot
lights, but most depressing in the tiny
space behind the same glittering foot
| lights.
However, she says, YOU feel fine
when it comes time to appear before
the adoring audience, so don't lose
heart. Go on the stage and become
star" If you wish. Take chance.
