MISS NELL II. WHAYNE
Soprano
We feel fortunate in securing an
artist such as Miss Whayne for this
company. Stately and gracious in
appearance and manner, she possesses
voice, wonderful in its volume and
quality. Her charming personality,
together with her remarkable voice,
make her long remembered where
ever she appears. Miss Whayne was
prima donna soloist with the Metro
polltan Quartette which toured the
United States with the famous Lib
erati Band. She was one of the So
lolstS at the Minneapolis Fall Festi-
val also at the famous Southern Cot
ton Palace at Waco, Texas, during
the past season, prior to her long
engagement with Miss Leigh.

MISS BESSIE LEIGH
Entertainer
Miss Leigh belongs to the new
school of readers. Indeed, she is in
class of her own-jiust natural.
| Without any attempt to make an i'm
preston, she mpresseS doubly by
her charming simplicity and delight
full originality. She suggests in her
musical monologues Carrie Jacobs
Band. Miss Leigh is not without the
power to interpret the deeper pas
Sions of the soul. She knows how to
portray the greater moods of Victor
Hugo, and is at home in the atmos-
phere of western life. An audience
never tires as it listens to this
charming little woman, with face
that mirrors all the clouds and sun
shine of tragedy and humor. She has
had long experience before the pub
lie and prepared under the best
teachers. Nature, however, has been
her chief instructor. Nature has
blessed her with the indefnable gift
of an entertaining personality. Ex-
preston is first of all gift, and
training is only its discovery and
perfection. Bessie Leigh is popular
in the best sense, popular with the
children and parents, and she takes
the audience into her confidence and
sends them home happier, better and
