Heard at the Stage Door

The thrill that comes but once In
a lifetime was recently experienced by
Virginia OBren. Virginia was not
born an O'Bricn without inheriting
plenty of the determine that makes
the Irish the dominant race it is, and
so she studied hard and awaited her
chance to climb the rungs of the ladder
came only a few weeks ago, when
the actress playing the principal role
in THE Royal Vagabond" at the
Cohan g. Harris became i'll and Miss
O'Brien, at hardly more than a
moments notice, was called on to fill
the part. Miss O'Brien rose to the
situation. And now instead Of her
weekly pay envelope containing the S35
that the Chorus Girls Union says it
must, Miss O'Brien counts several
times that amount every time the
ghost makes his weekly promenade
in "The Royal Vasabond."
Miss O'Brien took a two-year vocal
course at the New England Conserva
tory, in Boston, and then joined Donald
Brian in Her Regiment" singing in
the chorus and as understudy for the
prima donna role. Her next engage
ment was with "The Girl Behind the
Cum" at the New Amsterdam, followed
by a brief season in "She's Good
Fellow" and then "The Royal Vaga-
bond" She is only nineteen.

They are also upon the whole, less

BOTH JUGOSLANS AND

Jugo-Slays had shown the slightest in
clination TO concede any point in the
Ialian difficulty, the Italians probably
would have been prepared TO follow
their lead" was statement made to-
night in French circles
Both sides, however, displayed the
utmost stubbornness, the Italians being
too proud to give way it was said.
First. they consider that AS they fought
throughout the war as solid entity,
they were entitled to consideration on
that account, while the JugoSlavs, ac'
cordng to Italian views, became an en-
tity only when hostilties ceased and
after some of them had been fighting
against Italy"
1t is recognized that both France and
Great Britain are in difficult position,
owing to the existence of the secret
agreement with Italy. as laid down IN
