EMILY STEVENS can say more
~ funny things in ten minutes than
any one else we ever saw. This is
undoubtedly because she is tra-
gedienne. She has the most whimsi-
cal, altogether adorable, sense of hui
NOR we ever have encountered, and she
hates to cry. To quote Miss Stevens:
at seems to be the popular opinion
of managers Of the drama, silent and
otherwise. that laugh and the world
laughs with you is all wrong. They
think weep and the audience weeps
with you, laugh and you laugh alone
and so / have to weep"
To interview Miss Stevens Is not the
easiest thing in the world, for she Is
a hard working person. In order to
capture her we had TO step in and
hold up the whole workings OF de-
partment store which was in the throes
Of a bargain sale; George Baker. the

ABOUT GRACE LA RUE

where she played eight weeks. A
further eight months engagement
brought her to the leading role in
what was known here as "The Laugh
ing Husband
In July, 1919, Miss La Rue played
a months engagement at Cologne and
the Kaiser picked the rust from off his
sword. Two such events happening at
the same time inevitably meant disas-
ter for some one Miss La Rue had
to yield to the Kaiser. She was on her
way to Berlin on the night of August
1. but, with admirable foresight,
changed her plans and headed for Os-
tend. Across the Channel was, and
still is for that matter, London. Here,
with her material possessions, consist
ing of her jewels and sum Of unne-
gotiable German money, Miss La Rue
waited patiently until she secured the
chance to purchase a reservation on
the Olympic at four times its normal
value. Upon arriving in New York she
went into vaudeville at short notice.
and remained there until her present
engagement in "Hitchy-Koo."
Miss La Rue expects at the close
Of the run of "Htchy-Koo" to enter
comic opera again. She had been slated
TO play the leading role in a current
production Of Niennese operetta from
which the Viennese element has been
carefully pruned. On this subject Of
adaptation" Miss La Rue has decided
opinions. She believes that to let one
Of our native prolific and popular con-
tributors 70 the musical gayety of ma
tions touch up and replace the music
of such men as Strauss and Lehar Is
equivalent TO letting the author of
"Everybody's Doing It" add an act to
al Trovatore" She Is desirous Of
again playing part in some play with
logical plot and good music. 1t Is
probably due to an inborn fund Of op-
timism that the recent evidence on the
subject has not convinced her, as II
has 80 many others, that the breed
she desires has died out.

CRACE LA RUE has succeeded IN
" bringing the concert stage TO the
music halls. She has proved that 1t Is
not absolutely essential, in order that
a song impress the audience, for the
singer 10 trespass on the domain OF the
contortionist or the stage Of negro
ante-bellum days. Various bona hde
opera stars have attempted to prove
the same thing. but they really did
nothing but repeat in vaudeville their
methods Of opera. Miss La Rue has
happily combined the dignifed tech
nique Of the concert hall with the pop
ular unrestraint Of the music hall. The
song remains as it was before; a short
dance, or even a suggestion Of a dance,
provides the vaudeville touch.
Miss La Rue's first Broadway engage
ment was in "The Tourists" with Julia
Sanderson (and Lillian Lorraine in the
chorus), in 1906. The "Follies" were
born in the summer Of 1907, with the
first performances on the roof Of the
New York Theatre, and Miss la Rue
was the first woman principal engaged.
She continued her noble work Of lay
ing the foundation for the Ziegfeld
estate until the fall Of 1908, when she
Joined Sam Bernard in "Nearly a
Hero" Then came a short European

weeks on William Morris's newly

music by the late Julian Edwards.

These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does. but have no bad

They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Caiomel
