Fay Banter Obtains Position for
Her First Employer.

They say e. great many. things
about actor folk and among them one
occasionally hears the charge that
they are ungratefuL The coming OF
Driftwood." the comedy by Lau-
renee Eyre, which william Harris, tr.,
viii present during the week Of June
70 at the Belasco Theater. affords an
excellent opportunity TO tell at least
one little story that refutes the i'm
putation most effectively.
Three years ago a little girl, blond
and decidedly pretty, stepped off the
her way to the theater where the
Princess Players Stock Company was
appearing. At the theater she asked
for Priestly Morrison, the general
stage director of the company.
The girl was Fay Banter. She had
she had registered with an agency
and she had been cast for the role
Of ingenue in the stock company. A
week later it was announced that the
Princess Players had a new leading
lady. 1t was the same Fay Banter.
In a week she had given such unmis-
taxable proof Of her ability to act
that Mr.. Morrison had unhesita tingly
given her the leading role for the fol-
lowing weeks play.
For two years Fay Banter remain
ed as leading woman of the Princess
Hlayers. Early last tall she made her
first appearance on Broadway as the
leading woman in Arms and the
Girl" When Arms and the Girl"
was to start on the road, William
Harris, jr., to whom she was under
contract, was approached by another
manager.
Wouldn't he lend Miss Banter for
a new production. rather than send
her out on the road?" He did, and
a few weeks later Fay Banter scored
another personal success in THE
Willow Tree
Then Mr.. Harris decided to produce
'Driftwood." He sent for Miss Balm
ter. She agreed to appear in the play
II he would engage Nr. Morrison as
stage manager. A week later Drift
wood was placed in rehearsal with
Priestly Morrison directing II and
Fay BANTER acting In the leading
role.
