Among the performers Of 1.-THE Big
City Burlesquers, who are appear
ing this week at the Odeon Theatre,
Springfield, near South Orange ave-
nue., is Miss Margie Demarest.
Manager. Sam Ross. Of the Odeon,
is authority for the statement that
this young actress is one of the most
beautiful in face and form on the
burlesque stage.
Last week at Troy, N. Y, where
she was playing, Miss Demarest per-
formed an act of kindness which won
her much praise, as ii showed that,
in addition to her physical attract
iveness. she possesses warm, sym
pathetic heart
Alighting from car in the neigh
borhood Of the theatre, she saw a
crowd gathered about care-worn,
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-09-28

tired looking young woman, who was
turning the crank of a hand organ
On one arm the woman held a weaz-
en-faced. sickly baby. Miss Demar-
est's heart was touched with pity.
Come" she said to the woman,
''let me grind the organ while you
pass around the cup"
And while turning the crank Miss
Demarest threw in a lullaby song
which, after the first wave Of sur
prised merriment had ceased among
the spectators, brought tears to the
eyes of many and filled the tin cup
three times over.
Mr.. Ross has engaged Miss Demar-
est for next season, when he will put
out a company of his own in the
Progressive Wheel with her and
Nat Carr in the leading roles.
