MITZI


 seen in many moons; just as big as a
 doll in teacup''-clever, cunning, cute-the three "C's" describe her from
 the crown of her lovely blonde head to the tips of her saucy little "toes-e- weezies"
 Slender as a wood nymph-wistful as | the spring time dawn-elusive as the fragrance of the arbutus flower-this tiny little bundle of magnetism and
 charm seemed to me yesterday as singled her out in the big crowd at the Tutwiler-where bags and grips and big old men and various blonde and brunette looking women were thronging the foyer. Altho' the most dminutive in the crowd, Her Royal Highness''-Mitz by name lowered above them all in personality if you please. for the little Hungarian then some more.
 Mitzi possesses besides personality plus, and magnetism plus. the incest cleanest looking, sweetest mouth you ever beheld, just chucked full of rows of the whitest, most immaculate teeth that just make you want to kiss her udiu-cHt Ol tlOSe Ilte illtle Olu iOoN kisses that smack back at you-and just 1 make you feel like the little boy who ate his cake apd then cried for more Mtzi isn't an imitation of any thing under the sun; she's an "original: she's Mitzi and that tells the story; in big , show she's the one adorable, lovely, in sistent charming personality, just like she was in the crowd at the hotel yes terday. Altho' there may be dozens Of other wonderfully attractive personali- ties scattered about and you know there was chance of losing this little ! bit of an oddity in garish l1ght-wlth dozens of big folk about-but Mitzi couldn't be lost; she proved that fact l her own little self the first time she stepped out on the boards in ''The Spring Maid" some season or two ago.
 | From that delectable moment up to the present everybody who has ever seen | Mitzi has been Head Over Heels in | love with her and all, her little monkey
 shines, her tom-boy effects, her will-o- | the-wisp stunts-which sometimes make you hold right tight to your orchestra
 chair and catch your breath for fear she
 won't be able to get away with them
 they are so outrageously daring; you
 just think somehow that each one is
 going to be her Waterloo-but no sr-e- l Bob; Mitzi lands right on her adorapie
 little Number Twos" every single soli-
 tary time, as if to say: T fooled you
 that time, now dare me to do it again l And all the while you sit out front
 there just adoring and loving her and
 wishing you could hug her up right tight
 and call her "Mitzi' and cuddle her up
 sort of like you would baby.
 1 Oh, dear, that Mitzi girl.
 [ She goes just to my head like cham
 pagne (used to) with all her cunning | little ways and her foreign little accent
 and when you say something to her
 about this accent she throws her lovely
 head back-'way back and laughs the
 most contagious little laugh, showing all those lovely white pearly teeth of hers and. her big gray-blue eyes dance ana 1 glance at you, while she says;
 i Accent? Huh! I'm a full fledged
 American citizen if you please, Mrs Dolly Dalrymple, for I'm land owner iIeuMo pupI V llrul Ieeu noH ptp | when? Where? How?" I propound the
 questions just as fast as my little old /, tongue can pronounce the words sTt's The Mitzi Villa thank you, says Miss Mitzi, "and it's up in New
 York state-near White Plains-at Ged-
 ney Farms--you know"
 | And I nod my head in acqulesehce
 and then lovely Mitzi declares:
 "It's just adorable and I spent eight
 weeks there this past summer just en- loving myself. No, it isn't large enough | for chickens and cows and animals ana things well-except, of course, my par
 rot who is one of the family and my canary bird and of course MT. Dogsle-
 Poggie-'Boob;' want to see him? | And like A little old hen with one little old chick Mitzf scampered about and
 unrolled a big blanket ring and there' | if you please was His Lordship, MT. |,rooh ,, inst as ''sassy' and comfy as a bug in rug. - ! My only protector" said Mitzi ara
 matically. .,
 "Protector from stage Johnnes, and
 suggested. - | "shushed" me up.
 | "Rut really.' said Mtzi growing serious. ''I am very proud of acquirins an American home all of my own; tnls ol course I've done since l saw you .we | years ago. It makes me real, nohesl-.o
 goodness American citizen, and III proud to say so!' . | Knowing Mitzi's pet aversion 10 lh,er
 viewers who ask her what her "hopples are and sehow she happened to go on the stape'' and a few other bromide thinsS like those. I hastened to skip, as 1t were | over these pitfalls and so opened rapie fire on Her Diminutive Highness aS | to the daring acrobatic role sne IS pia' ing in Head Over Heels"'
 | "Tell me about II, fAsheu h, , eyes. I wear tights and don p' shocked" Mitzi interpolated lntultlveN knowing that was going to mentlo, tbis latest pair of acquisitions 10 ne stage wardrobe. Every stage sli sometime in her life wears tignts an' this is my time She'll wear them II on,. to see how she looks in the aoomlnapl' things.
