There you have in nutshell the
Buster Brown family. John Golden,
who is an intimate personal friend of
the Outcaults promised Mary Jane
that whenever she wished to adopt the
stage as a profession, he would give
her an engagement-and he has kept
his word.
Although quite a youngster yet. few
girls have had more varied experience
than Mary Jane. At the zenith of her
popularity on the comic page. she made
transcontinental tour with her par
ents. She was received by the Presi-
dent of the United States. welcomed on
the floors Of Congress, greeted by the
governors of the states she visited,
was given a mud party by the Hopi
Indians in Arizona and joined in a
potlatch of the Siwashs in Washington.
She had dolls, hats, shoes, garments
and candies named after her. In fact,
being Mary Jane" is just like being
a princess, or famous movie star or
something interesting like that. Tx

while there are lots Of the others.
And she has managed to survive it
all without being spoiled. Her enthu-
siasm over her frst venture on the
stage is as unaffected and spontaneous
as that OF child. She is vivacious
and intensively alive.

Any one who has seen "Lingcr

realizes that Charlotte Greenwood is
ostensibly the tallest actress in New
York. At any rate, when the five feet

the dressing room Of the giantess.
Charlotte, who minute before had
been a blushing bride in white satin,
seized her around the neck, tucked her
;ncontinently under her oxter and said
"what a pair are we." There was no
denying It. The tall one laughed with
her head in the clouds. The small one
Surgled under Charlotte's arm. The
problem was where to find common
meeting ground.
"How very small you arel" began the
interviewee.
"How very tall you are!" countered
the interviewer.
"Supposing you sit on this chair. my

pursued Charlotte.
