MISS GRACE MERRITT
Young Actress Who Will Appear at the orpheum, DanieIson, Next Week Has Pet Hobby of Chickens.

As the strong feature of the acting company that will be seen at the Or pheum Theatre, Friday, Sept. 22 Grace Merritt stands out most prominently Miss Merritt is an Ohio girl, born and raised in the city of Toledo. Although small of stature, she is easily the dom mating figure in every scene in which she appears. Earnest and forceful in her work, she has demonstrated her worth in such plays as When Knight hood was in Flower 'The Blue Mousse etc, in which she played lead ing roles.
 Miss Merritt is a student in the art of acting. She does not merely learn the lines of part, she studies the character she is called on to portray and endeavors to obliterate her own personality from the moment she en- ters the theatre. She acts because she loves it and the audience going with her through a scene reaps te enjoy ment of her honest and earnest efforts. Speaking of Miss Merritt to the writ CT the advance representative of the company said "She is undoubtedly a clever actress-you will say so when you see her. But actresses are funny to me. Do you know what this young lady's pet hobby is next to the stage ? No, of course you don't, but I'll tell you. Chickens! She is simply wrap ped up in raising plain, every day chickens. Funny isn't it. You'll say so wheE you see her in Some Baby" and ting hen"
