OUR AlGIERS STAR.

The many friends of Mrs. Roland
Forest, nee Frances Statzkowski. of
our town, will be delighted to know of
her success in the theatrical field and
will be interested in her future career.
Miss Frances Statz," as she styled
herself several years ago, has been rec
ognized by the profession as little
actress who is destined to make her
mark in this world. From early child
hood she took great interest in local
theatricals and while she did not re-
ceive the encouragement that she
should have received, her persistent eff
forts in her chosen profession are win
ming for her the goal for which she is
reaching.
In an article cut from one of our
daily papers We read that Miss Frances
Statz who made her debut with a stock
company here two years ago, has re-
turned to New Orleans as a member OF
a new firm of players to be known as
the Manseld Players, which opened
up the Lyric Theater on Sunday after
noon. Miss Frances, as she is well
known here, takes a prominent part in
the play. Her ability was recognized
some time ago by Robert A. Manseld,
who is directing the Manseld Players.
Good luck to Miss Frances Statz. We
hope that she will be a coming star.
