PROFESSIONAL STAGE
!. LURES MISS TAYLOR
Daughter Of Belasco Manager Ap-
pears with Grace Ceorse

Miss Imogen Taylor, daughter Of
MANAGER Taylor. of the Belasco The
ater, is the latest recruit to the pro-
fessional stage from the younger
feminine favorites of the Capital, hay-
ing lately Joined the forces Of Man
ager William A. Brady. She ID now
appearing In Mr.. Brady's production
OF THE Man Who Came Back" at the
Grace George Playhouse in New York.
Manager Brady was in Washington
last Tuesday on government business,
but before finishing a very busy day
found five minutes to call on Manager
Taylor to tell him that his daughter.
at the close Of the New York run of
THE Man Who Came Back" would
be placed In Miss Georges company.
Miss Taylor. who will be profession
ally known as Miss Imogen Fairchild,
has spent the greater part of her life
in very close touch with the theater,
being christened on one of the most
famous and historic stages in Amer
lea, that Of McVicker's Theater, Chi
cago, by a noted divine. the late Rev.
DR.. Thomas, her godmother being the
sister of Meta Maynard, an English
actress, now retired. Mr.. Taylor at
tldI thilc was hdCNlCh6I lTGdS-
urer, while DR.. Thomas held services
in the theater each Sunday Before
coming to Washington, Miss Fairchild
was q Juvenile member of the Ben
Greet Players. at which time she gave
such future promise as to be referred
to In the Ben Greet act in editions of
shakespeare's plays. Later she toured
with that organization. Appearances
were also made with Nine. Bernhardt,
Sothern and Marlowe, and the
odette Tyler stock company. Her
given name was suggested by Miss
Marlowe of Imogen in Shakespeare's
"Cymbaline." and her middle name
was a compliment to Miss darlowe's
equally charming "Roslind." One OF
her earliest baby presents was a pow
der pun which came to her from an
actor friend OF her fathers, inscribed
For Imogen's First Makeup" While
he was playing in Chicago, Joseph
Jefferson one night sent her the toy
rattle that he for years used in the
play of "The Cricket On the Hearth. "
Since coming to Washington, she
had appeared In many local presenta-
tons Her last professional work in
this city was as a member Of the Poll
Players.
Last week Miss Fairchild received
hurried call to report at a studio at
Fort Lee, N. j., where she made her
debut in motion pictures. All of her
idle time. between rehearsals and
playing, is given over to Red Cross
work by herself and her mother
The editor Of this page is personally
acquainted with the work OF Miss
Fairchild, and he has no hesitancy in
prophesying an unusually successful
career for Washington's latest con-
trfbution to the stage. Her work,
both In this city and on the road, has
always been impressive and artistic.
