Former Chorus Girl Scores Hit
As "Lntoxication in "Experience"
Williams, in Her First
Appearance on Broadway,
Registered a Big Success.

One Of the most-talked-of young women
on the American stage today arrived in
Washington yesterday. She is Margot
Williams, and she plays the dual role
OF Frailty and Intoxication In the modern
morality play, Experience" which begins
at the Belasco Theater tonight
Two years ago Margot Williams was alb
solutely unknown to the theatrical world
at large. Overnight she became famous
with the production OF Experience" and
the critics Of New York declared they
had discovered a new, great actress.
To interview Margot Williams in her
modest apartment at the Shoreham Ho-
tel, and talk to this slim young girl who
seems so demure and unlike an actress,
enc would never suspect she was the
much-discussed celebrity of Experience "
Il have done my best. and won't let
my little success turn by head" said Miss
Williams. "Goodnes knows I was de-
lighted enough when the critics praised
me, because for four years 1 had been
through the hardest kind of schooling
without getting any recognition. 1 left
my home in Louisville, KY, to Join the
chorus OF Ben Hur.' 1 did not have to
sing, but only to appear in the big num-
bers and in the ballet.
"I am not ashamed to confess that I
started in this way and that my salary
was only SIS per week. My father OBJ
jected very much, and told me he would
not let me stay on the stage IL had to
remain gin the chorus, so 1 went to the
stage manager and asked him to let me
understudy one Of the roles. He gave
me the part of Mira, and a week later
the girl who played that part was taken
sick and finished the season playing that
role.
When 1 appeared the first night In
New York was frightened to death be-
cause it was my first appearance on
Broadway. I was simply amazed the
next day when the critics gave me such
wonderful praise.
Next season 1 am to be seen In new
play under the management of Morris
Gest and F. Ray Comstock, but in the
meantime 1 am delighted to play Wash
ington in my original roles"

An effort by the National Surety COM
pany Of New York to get control of all
the surety bonding business Of the new
Federal Farm Loan system was de-
nounced In a letter made public last

plan had been unearthed through letters
written TO agents Of the company oy

partnent of the concern. This letter
suggested that the agents seek to OBJ
tain positions as secretary-treasurers OF

hy the Farm Loan Board. In Commis-
sioner Norris reply he said:
II trust that you viii promptly disown
this discreditable circular, and see that

parry, IL Il Is to be continued at all, shall
