Probably the theatrical historians
will pay scant attention to Frances
White when they come to write OF
the stage of our time. But they
might reasonably use her as an illus
tration of what can be accomplished
in FIVE years on the stage. That
long ago Miss Frances was an un-
known entertainer in California caba-
rets. She was an attractive mite
who could dance gracefully and sing
| in hoarsc little voice the music hall
ditties of the day, and make herself
generally attractive in cabaret.
There a vaudeville dancer, Will
lam Rock, discovered her, and con-
vinced her that she could win sue
cess in vaudeville. A few months
later, having taught her what he
knew, he brought her east, and she
appeared one Monday afternoon on
the stage of the Palace theater.
The next day she was the most
generously praised performer in the
reviews of that particular bill, and
few weeks after that she was prac-
tically the star of the Midnight

established to entertain the midnight
sons and their friends. The season
following she played in vaudeville
