Diva or Vaudeville
Star: Which, hink
You Has 1t Right?
BY Edgar G. Wheeler

Have we Americans drifted to
point where we fail to take life
seriously?
Have we forgotten our homes
and firesides, our interest in
higher arts and sciences to revel
in one grand roughhouse of low
brow pleasure and jitney enjoy
.ment?
Grace Cameron, looking out at
her audiences night after night
from behind the footlights, says
We have.
Opera to Vaudeville
Grace, as girl of II, found
herself endowed with beauti-
.ful voice. She spent thousands
of dollars training it. BY hard
work she became an opera singer
and one of a circle of distin-
guished eastern artists and mus
icians.
She began to see a realization
of her dreams of highest artistic
triumphs.
Today she is delighting her au-
diences at Pantages theater with
hilarious rough and tumble
stunts.
just Wistful
She puts her act across by
staging a take Off" of heavy
grand opera and Willie Shakes
.peare tragedy stuff, the stuff
that her girlhood dreams were
made of. She bounces around
on a mild rampage of heavy death
scenes.
And she gets by. The audi
ence laughs.
II had to do it? / had to drift
along with my audiences and give
them what they wanted. l had
to make my living" she says.
But she's not bitter about it;
only little wistful
I'm just like a rubber ball.
You can't keep me still. And il
the audiences want me to raise
the ceiling rather than have me
,sing them sweet little songs. why
not give them what they want?
It's good fun, anyway" she adds.
Sees Great Change
From her place behind the
footlights, she says she has seen
a remarkable change come over
u. 8. people in the last five years.
And she's in position to know.
Only short time ago my au-
diences were delighted when l
sang some simple. artistic song.
Nov such song falls flat.
Nobody is serious any more.
What people want nowadays is
excitement and fun.
Women in Cafes
"Our women have forgotten
about their homes and firesides.
Every evening, from to you
can see them in the cafes, instead.
II l were their husbands, I'd
want them to come home.
"And so gradually in the last
few years the demands of audi
ences have forced me to drift
from grand opera to musical COM
edy, then to high price vaude-
Vile and now finally to the low
priced vaudeville.
There is no telling where the
end will be.
Seriousness Back Number
But I'm not kicking. I'm
earning a living. The halls of
grand opera are empty. High price
vaudeville houses have closed.
their doors.
). Today hundreds OF musicians
and artists are walking the streets
of New York, just because they
think they're too good to drift
along, satisfying the demands of
modern audiences.
Seriousness is q back number
in America

Wow! Two Surprising
Letters On Decollete

Editor The Times: In one of
yonr interesting articles on decol-
lete gowns you say that you know
of cases where girls in restaurants
and ice cream parlors lost their
jobs because they refused to dress
more modestly.
b Well, l wouldn't doubt your
word, but let me tell you, Mr..
Editor, that | know of other girls
several of them--who have
been FIRED from their jobs be-
cause they wouldn't expose as
much of their persons as their
employers wanted them to.

enough with what is going on in

my word on that either.

Freeze IS CHECK
TO CANE GROWTH

NEW ORLEANS.-The extent of
the damage to Louisiana's cane crop
from the recent freeze still remains
the principal topic of discussion in
local sugar circles. From latest advices
obtainable, it appears that the cane
suffered more severely than was at
first reported The injury, however,
so far as can be learned from reliable
sources, was generally confined. to the
restriction of further development OF
the cane.
Nevertheless, rather warm weather
for this season of the year aggravated
the situation for several days last
week and somewhat sultry climatic
conditions at the opening of this week
did not promise to aid the planters
much.
Except in some. few localities the
bud of the cane was killed and tenn
peratures dropped so low in some
places as to give rise. to fears that
split canes" would be found. But
none have so far been reported and
only further progress in grinding
operations can throw additional light
on whether the cane in the fields was
injured in this manner.
The weather remained cool for sew
eral days following the freeze but on
Monday of last week temperatures be-
gan to rise and Wednesday brought a
warm rain. This was followed by a
cool wave with the mercury register
ing in the lower fifties but tempera-
lures rose again during the latter part
of the week.
Over Sunday the weather was warm
and not favorable for any cane that
might have been seriously frozen. AS
the cane stands today the major por-
tion of whatever injury the cane has
suffered, and which has come to light,
Is negative rather than positive in the
sense that improvement in the
sucrose content was checked, but the
final exhibit depends entirely upon
what kind of weather Louisiana en-
joys between now and the end of the
season.
The Allendale mill situated in West
Baton Rouge Parish finished grinding
last week and brokers expect to hear
of several more factories closing down
soon. The early start and favorable
weather during the first month en-
abled the mills to handle the cane
with despatch and the campaign is
now half over.
