The promise was kept.
1t was a good humored actress upop
whom Elsie Ferguson called. Perhaps
she received the youngsters because it
was Summer and she wanted to fill a
half-hour with novelty. Maybe she met
everybody because everybody is type"
Or the awed. open -mouthed admiration OF

child who sat silent. feet and hands

told than Of stage life, Of how parts are
studied and chara cters Interpreted.
1t was only when they were leaving
that Elsie Ferguson broke her silence,
and said thickly. with difficulty her voice
having wandered to some far depth of her
throat: III you please, while you talked

The actress laughed. They all do"
she said putting forth her hand with an

the little girl prevailed. Il don't know

The introduction took place. It was to

earnestness and an unusual power within
her again prevailed. Elsie was engaged
for the chorus, al sl2 a week. There
were thirty-sX weeks of one-night stands
in The Belle Of New York" The small
girl had started with her braids hanging
and black ribbon bow adjoining them for
economys sake. Black would not soil as
quickly as the more becoming blue and
pink. She came back with her hair up
and her skirts down, a sight that made
her mother weep.
Yes, mother I'm an actress now" said
this stately young person, stately albeit
rather eXaggeratedly dressed. And I'm
going 10 be one who always has work
So many OF them only have work part OF

Eighteen years ago she was a small

Elsie was in pigtails and the profundty

MISS TANNERS DEATH
AROUSES SUSPICION
Victim Was a Follower of the Search
of the Kingdom of God Cult at
Alliance, Ohio.

ALLIANCE, Ohio, March 20. - An
inquest into the death of Miss Amy
Tanner, follower of the Search of the
Kingdom of God cult, was to be put
underway this afternoon 1t was ex-
pected that by that time an analysis
of the contents of the stomach would
be completed and results made known.
In the meantime P A. George, al
Eeged head of the cult, was held in Gus
tody, although no serious charge has
as yet been placed against him.
1t is alleged that Miss Tanner was
in dying condition when officials who
had been watching the house of the
cult raided it and, using force, re
moved the young woman to a hospital
where she died yesterday. George is
quoted by the police as having styled
himself as "interpreter Of Voice OF
Cod and this they assert was suf1i-
cient for holding him on the charge OF
suspicion pending the result of an au
topsy on the body.
