Amid all the riot OF sensational
plays, books and songs that seem TO
he the order OF the day in some cir
Giles il Is refreshing to find one who
caters to that saner element CT con.
servatlves in the way of entertain
ment Miss Charlotte Powers, a vi.
vaciOuS and keen-|itted woman from
California, states tfat she believes the
time IS not vary distant when people

thrilling KIND OF entertainment, and
instead Of adding TO her repertoire as
an entertainer am of the riSque dra
mas, etc. she has searched only for

AS a character actress Miss Powers
holds high rank being we'll known for
her work with the old BelascO Stock
Company at Los Angeles. and her
coach work IN various colleges and
clubs. Her change from a demure CO.
Quettish Spanish Senorita to q great,
Irish dame is marvellous in
its skill as we'll as mirth provoking.
Miss Powers, who comes with 4
new and exhaustive repertoire is a
descendent OF Hiram Powers, the dis
sculptor, whose statue of
Lincoln has attracted thousands to
view it at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art IN New York City. She has
been before the public since early
childhood; is a graduate of the Ora
matte School OF the Chicago Musical
College. Chicago, ILL.,, and is equally
at ease in a jolly little entertainment
for children, a mems banquet program
or. heavy Shakespearean role.
I'm her instruction and coaching
work Miss Powers aims to bring out
the innate powers of the student. She
says that dramatic expression is one
of the best as we'll as the easiest way
to develop ones individuality, and
that children especially ought to have
included in their daily work time
for dramatic expression. To the her
vous child, the youth or girl lacking |
or those older wishing
to make the most of life's opportuni- i
ties Miss Powers recommends such |
training. AS an example Of what 1t
will do in the way of developing |
charms of personality she is herself a
splendid example"
