Anna Held Sings
For College Girls

MACON. Oct 3-Macon is all
a-futter.
Miss Anna Held and her beauty
chorus were playing at a local theater.
Had the French actress played there
only all would have been well. But
she did not. She invaded Wesleyan
College, and there, with swaying, Gid
ing step, sang to bevy Of college
girls Roll Those Dreamy Eyes" And
the girls liked it and asked her to
sing again. Mon Dieu!
Some of the strait laced folk
have expressed criticism. The college
authorities are apologetic But the
delicious humor of the situation has
created enough laughter to drown all
the criticism and all the apologies.
According to Mrs. c. r. Jenkins,
wife of the president Of Wesleyan,
who has shouldered all the blame for
Miss Held's visit, the actress gained
admittance through mistaken identity
Mrs. Jenkins declared that she
thought Miss Held was Macon
