title exploited this young dancer over
the vaudeville byways before she fell
into popularity with Tumble In" at
the Selwyn Theatre. But Arthur Ham
merstein, who wouldn't put one over
on the dear theatre public for the
world--he says so himself-now re-
veals TO an anxious, palpitatIng public
that Olga's real name is Gladys Buck
ley, and moreover she originated in
Flatbush, where Church and Flatbush
avenues knew her only few years
ago as a pretty blonde with a weak
ness for Saturday night dances. Her
father, who Is now a practising physi-
clan. was known to the sporting fra
ternity a generation ago as heel
and toe walker OF championship at
tainmentG. Perhaps this ancestry ac-
counts for Miss Mishkas aptitude for
dancing.
Her husband and dancing partner
to be sure is Russian. with an unspell-
able surname. His first name is
Mishka, and hence the origin OF his
wife's stage name. They first met five
years ago when the male Mishka had
given up his engagement with Paw
Iowa to teach society dancing, which
was then the rage. Olga, cra-a-azy to
dance. and Mishka, head over heels in
love, was more than willing 10 teach
her. From the first she took to dane
ing as naturally as a Bolshevist turns
to bombs, and has developed herself
under such tutors as Pavlowa, Thso-

still takes lessons an hour every day

plished dancer. made his first appear
ance in the third scene he carried a
paper package under his arm. After
the Introductory persifiage the dan
GERS companion inquired about his old

| as a partner in White & Ryan.
ASK me what have got under my
arm" he said. This he repeated and
the actor obeyed.
| The package turned out to be an
enlargement of a photograph of tho
two boys taken some years ago-prob-
ably during the run of THE Echo" at
the Globe Theatre. OF course this
was less than decade ago, but
1t seemed to Mr.. White that he was
now so important as to make his eYo-
luton interesting in the world. So
there followed an autobiography illus
trated by the dancer and the imitators
of the different partners who had ap-
peared with him.
George NJ. Conan was the first TO
make impudence an artistic asset. 1t
was his first professional property.
But the public was from the outset
interested in him and his work, and
beneath the obvious pretence of such
cgotism there was always the intima-
ton of the talents that have carried
him so far in his profession. So Mr..
White thought he would follow along
with some personal revelations TO In
terest his audience. But as nobody
but few habitual attendants at the
vaudeville theatres. some booking
agents in Longacre Square and the
rest OF tho two day small fry had
ever heard of Mr.. White or his dane
ing history. the scene failed to arouse
enthusiasm. It was most interesting
possibly in it's revelation of the psy-
chology OF the public entertainer.
