Dorothy Brown is thirteen years
old. Marjorie is eleven, and Kingdom

folk, please remember. They are be-
ing educated with the idea that they
will go on the stage, and they form
very interesting trio. Earl, the
youngest Of the family, is also a little
actor. He has been in several per-
formances. and also will go on the
stage permanently when ne Is old
enough. IL he wants to do SO.
Dorothy was the first of the chill
dren to go on the stage. She was
carried on by Richard Mansfield
when she was three years old. She
IN the company. and she was SO thor
oughly natural that she won the
hearts Of the actors and actresses,
as well as the public.
Her mother and father would not
permit her to go on the road, but
she was engaged for companies play
ing in New York and BROOKLYN.
She took part in amateur produc-
tions and church entertainments. and
then came the time when Henry f..
Dixey was to produce Mary Ann's

she was put into the part and made
a great success. Then she played in

be as good as Elsie Leslie. When the
Leiblers organized the Children's
Theater in New York. Dorothy was
made one of the charter members
of the company, and was given tho

Once upon a time
Just one thing more before We
finally depart on our exploring tour.
This is going to be a story Of a real
little boy and real little girls. The
way We came to decide upon this
feature for the story was that
neither Felix Mahoney nor 1 could
think up a thing to use as plot.
We plead guilty to doing an unheard
of thing when we attempted to find
a plot at all. Regular. union story
writer's stopped doing that a long
time ago. But we said we were
doing this thing differently didn't
we? Therefore-being unable TO plot
out q plot that would give our little
heroes and heroines plenty OF va
riety-we decided to turn to the we'll
known human family and write
story about real people. And in or
der to get as much variety as pos
sible in the characters OF our story
people. We decided to get our facts
from some children Of the stage. The
idea was that as these chfldren play
a host of different parts during the
course of a season they would know
all about how different kinds of chill
dren feel. Any leading author who
wants to use this idea can do so. II
might help him when he wants to
get a real good story. Now that
we're all ready. let's go.
Once upon time there was a lam
lily named Brown. 1t might have
been a whole lot easier and more pic
turesuue to have named this family
Montnorency or Wildermere. But
We never have heard of a chill
dren's story with a family named
Brown, and we rather liked the idea
of nrfUinnl
on the editor. Besides that the name
of the family We are writing about
WAS Brown. The father of this
family was a jolly little man and
the mother was a very nice. pretty
woman Mr.. Brown was an actor,
but somebody caught him at 1t one
day end he reformed and became
hotelkeeper.
During the days he was on the
stage. though, like the gentleman
mentioned by the late Mr.. Hamlet
Of Denmark he played many parts.
Soma Of them were in musical COM
edy and some Of them were in melo-
drama. He was with Fay Temple
ton when Fay was a headliner. and
he also did a few bits with Marie
Wainwright While he was on the
stage he met Mrs. Brown and they
were married and became known to
theatergoers as Mr.. and Mrs. Tenn
Die. linen Game Tie "Hcn
was caught acting redhanded. And
so ne and his wife retired from the
stage and went into the hotel busi-
ness in Connecticut
In the fullness OF time, four chill
dren came TO this house Of Brown.
The first one was a little girl. and
was named Dorothy. The second
was also a girl. and she was named
Marjorie. The third and fourth were
boys, and were named Kingdom and
Eayl. And II is Of Dorothy and Mar
jorie and Kingdom that this story is
written. You see, they are the lead
ing actors in "Racketty Packetty
House." the play by Mrs. Francis
Hodgeson Burnett, which is to be
played for the first time in Wash
ington at the Belasco Theater tomor-
row morning at Il o'clock. and which.

housekeepers have great faith In tlif-

In the same manner as moth balls are
