These and other questions VIII I'M

questions are in the habit Of immedi-

basis Of the whole thing. lnasmuch
as the Dollys are dancers OF long eX-

much as they arc now making their
debuts as actresses in His Bridal
Night" they are fitted to discuss such
weighty matters. Any one who thinks
they are not eager 70 discuss these or
any other questions for the public good
is greatly mistaken.
Il was some twenty minutes before
the performance that the stage man

Dollys' dressing room, saying "A

"a newspaper man! Let him in''
was the fresh, hattering and sponta-

The Misses Dolly were in the throes

in an attractive Japanese kimono and
armed with the formidable implements

we have the very hardest kind of parts
which require that, besides acting like
ourselves, we have to act like each

"Do YOU know that every sister act
in the country was asked TO try these
parts, and they all failed?' observed
Yancsi.
81 think we are doing splendid for
a start" said Roszika, land Mr.. WOODS
is perfectly satisfied"
"Next year he is going to put us IN a
play written specially for us" chirped
Yancsi.
