Little Miss Valentine"

This Ia the story of a clip of a girl.
u IL always best to identify your story

but. truly, IL Is about this slip of a girl.

SHE was a member Of the Chestnut Street
op'ry House Stock Company. She played
"theres a carriage without" roles, and
once in a while she was permitted to
dust the furniture Just as the curtain
was going up.
Now, Just to prove how foolish soma
Girls can be without half trying, this
little girl went to New York and saw y
plRv. Then she stayed in New York and
saw the same play seven times more.
BY that time she decided that she knew
what she wanted, and that was the lead
ing role. So she sat herself down and
wrote to that effect to the manager, And
as will happen in real lfe-but never in
noves-the return post brought re-
quest that she call.
And that is exactly how Ethel Valen-
tine advanced from the Chestnut Street

"Grow up?" she asked. her eyes wide
with astonishment. "Why, I'm married."
and she held up her hand to prove her
contention. Gsn't it strange how all tho

Little Miss Valentines eyes filled with
tears; she gulped down a big lump in
her throat. Then she went on:
'T can't be with him-I couldn't part
with him again-it is selfish, know-but
he wants me to work He wants me to
do my duty by myself, as he calls it,
even as he did his by his country. oh,
isn't life cruel-brutal!"
Miss Valentine recovered her composure.
She spoke of her ambition TO become
an emotional actress of the Duse type;
she discussed Professor James and dress;
she debated the psychology Of mind over
matter and music But ever and anon,
her voice saddened, her eyes filled-her

Ten-Minute alks
Seriousness in Comedy

Miss Ruby Cutter Savage, grand opera
singer who plays the role of Josephine in
the New York Hippodrome production of
"Pinafore," at the Forrest Theatre, de-
clares that the possession of a well-de-
veloped sense of humor is sometimes a
drawback instead Of an asset in the rem
ditioD of Gilbert and Sullivan comedy
roles.
II know that 1t is popularity believed" !"
said Miss Savage, that only those pos
sessing highly cultivated sense of hu-
NOR can extract the full value out of GIL
bert's inimltable lyrics. and yet to me the
possession of such sense is serious
handicap. OF course in the singing of the
lyrics an absolute seriousness of demeanor
Is essential. That is the difficulty for me.
There are moments in the performance
of Pinafore' when the task of keeping
straight face and maintaining a serious
mien is almost impossible. The words 1
am singing appeal to me so strongly to
my sense of the ridiculous that there are
times when positively suffer in the at
tempt to stihe my mIrth."

WASHINGTON NOT EXCITED
OVER HONG KONG INCIDENT

Washington. Aug. s1.--state depart
ment officials did not regard as un-
usual the reported removal of Ger
man and Austrian reservists from AM
erican ships off Hong Kong, provided
the incident occurred within the three
mile limit of the British port 1nas-
much as Hong Kong Is under British
jurisdiction her warships could arrest
the nationals OF any belligerent with
in territorial waters.
What might be the opinion Of the
American government IL the reservists
were taken from American vessels on
the high seas is undetermined. State
department officials said tonight no
complaint of that character had been
placed before them. The right of
search for contraband cargoes on the
high seas Is accorded by all nations
to belligerent ships, but the right to
take a passenger from neutral ship
on the high seas has long been in dis
pute and no official Of the department
was willing to express any opinion.
