al aspirations none thought that she
was serious in the matter. Miss FL
derI is q soloist of merit and is al
SO known as an interpreter of chill
dren's stories in which she showed
much dramatic ability. Probably no
other pupil of Miss Grace Dalrynple
Clark has shown more actual histri--
onac talent than Miss EIdert and her
high soprano voice that has both vol
ume and clear register, combined with
a wealth of personality, has made her
popular in nearly every classical Of
fering which Miss Clark has urderta,-'
ken.
Her last public appearance upon a.
stage was under the direction of Les
ter C. Burdiok in the Minstrel Mis-
esq., produced by Manager Matt Saun-
ders at the big Poll theatre She
was Graduated from the local high
school in 1910.
Miss Eldert's engagement with
Jesse La.sky is said to have originated
through Harry Reichenbach, formerly
manager of the Plaza theatre In this
city and one of the most noted press
agents in the United States, now
closely identified with the Paramount
Picture Corporation Mr.. Reichen-
bach is said to have long had an eye
upon the ability of Miss ED ert and to
have presented her to Basky as one
of the best vaudeville finds of the
present season.

Josephine Coulter, grandniece, who
resides in Richmond Hill N Y, and
oftentimes Miss Coulter and other rel

Mackey< home for a week. Then
would the aged woman seem to for
get her loneliness, the house would
ring with music and laughter, and all
would be joyful.
The departure of the relatives re-
suited in the return of the woman to
her habits of the hermit. For days
she would shut herself up in the tiny
room in the attic, the candle burning
by night, shutters throughout the
house closed and the shades drawn.
