And so 1t happened I was chosen. Did I have stage fright?

Pretty Little Belle Redd Leading Lady With Much Ado About Betty Which the Loveman Joseph & Loeb Dramatic Club Will Present. Tells of Drama League Work

1 HRS\ NOTHING has been more inspi-
 W rational to the members of the lS N Loveman, Joseph & Loeb Dra- natic club than the splendid encour- agement that the local branch of sthe Drama league, with its able president, Mrs. W. D. Smith, has given us; it is certainly very nice of the Drama league , to take such an interest in our work and to invite the club to repeat Much Ado About Betty, under the auspices of the Drama league"
 Pretty little Belle Redd, who is "the leading lady of the attractive litte comedy which the Dramatic club, cont posed of Loveman, Joseph 6. Lseb's best talent, will give on the evening of Wednesday, November 1f at the Jeffer- son theatre, expressed her sincere ap- preciation of the Drama league and it's
 work in Birmingham, i'll the above well chosen words when speaking of the rep etition of the play few days ago. The Dramatic club of Loveman, b. seph & Loebs is one Of the very favor able examples of what is known as Jex-
 tension work" by the Drama league,
 work which Mrs. Starr Best. president Of
 the Drama League of America, empha- sized very forcibly when she visited Bir- mingham last year.
 Mrs. ". D. Smith and her able assist ants have lent their best energies t,. ward encouraging amateur perform ances; they have sponsored all forms of amateur entertainments. and nothing more vital has been attempted by the Drama league than the bringing to- gether of talented people to do strictly amateur work.
 Little Belle Redd-everybody knows her-is as pretty as Q pink and as clever as she is pretty; she's young and en- thusiastic and has talent. plus; she has many attributes which many profes- sional Heading ladies' I have met is sadly lacking in, and among her chief equisites is her absolute sincerity and lack of self-assurance; these qualities are very attractive either ir an amateur or a professional.
 ''When we heard the comments that Mrs. Smith made about Much Ado About Betty when we gave it a few months ago, we were delighted. ! said pretty little Miss Redd. She said three things about the production which meant great deal to the members of the cast; first she said we didn't ballS at cues: second, we didn't have to wait for cues. and third, we didn't step over cues, and you know those are things which nearly all amateurs fall down on
 Much of the credit of the play which we presented" Miss Redd continued. lis due to Miss Evalina WillSerson, whose tact and cieverness made our work a perfect joy to us as well as a success Miss Wilkerson knows just exactly how to coach a play; she brings out the very best in every actor on the stage and she has the rare ta,- ent of imparting her knowledge to others. Nobody could have done as well as she did with amateurs.

biiity of supplying us with surgical dress ings, and nothing In the whole situation here is more important Red Cross stand- ard dressings in millions must be sent over with all possible speed. If this is
 not done and done immediately a serf- ous calamity and national disgrace is iIi- evitable. The American Wornen who com pose the Red Cross chapters should pre- pare with all the enthusiasm and speed 1 possible the dressings which are going to 1 mean life or death to our own men. This whole question deals with the most vital things that the women of America can
 do for the soldiers in this war" Mir Gibson writes:
 Representatives Of the woman's bu- reau have just arrived this week from abroad and they inform us that it is hard for us to appreciate the great quantities of dressings which are necessary. To best enable us to visualize this, they have informed US that cases are numerous
 where an entire box of dressings is used on one patient"
 The call to service is clear. It is for
 more and more surgical dressings The
 summer season is ended, your members
 have returned strengthened and re-
 freshed, ready for work. Do not discon-
 tinue other work, but urge your members
 to increased efforts in this department
 The need Is immediate; your response should be prompt. Yours very truly,
