Marie Dressler IS going to forsake
The Oasis, her beautiful l45-acre coun-
try estate near Windsor, VT. The elab-
crate parties and receptions which
made this place such haven Of enjoy
ment for stage folk and writers will
not be in vogue during the coming
summer. For one reason, Miss Dressler
has been booked many months ahead
to appear in "a Mix-Up,' the three
act farce comedy in which she is now
acting the stellar role at the Thirty
ninth Street Theatre. Secondly, she
has disposed of most of her farm stock,
including a herd Of twenty-five prize
Jersey cows and sixteen Shetland
ponies. She will either sell the prop
erty or hold it as an investment.
The Oasis has belonged to Miss
Dressler for several years, and il was
purchased with the savings which she
garnered while appearing in various
Weber & Fields trayesty productions
The returns from her starring tour in
TITLES Nightmare" Melted her enough
to construct twenty-eight room, three
