This little prodigy is now drawing
four pictures which have brought forth
much admiration from the audiences
that have seen her draw them. Wednes-
day night she made her debut as
vaudeville entertainer at her grand
fathers theatre here, Jesse A. Wright,
owner and proprietor OF Wrights
Auditorium. Her debut was q rousing
success. She has been appearing during
the winter and spring with the Hobbs &
Longendyke minstrels. being their fea-
ture act.
Her marvellous manipulation with
different colored sticks of chalk has
mystified audiences wherever the min
strels has appeared. At Georgetown and
Harrington recently she brought forth
encore after encore by her clever draw
ing of difficult pictures. The titles of
the pictures she is now drawing are
THE Closed Gate" Moonlight" Sun
set" and Perfect Day"
Little Miss Jackson's father is a
cartoonist of much ability. and it is sup
posed the little wonder gets considerable
of her drawing talent from him. He
says the first he had noticed OF his little
daughters drawing was in January OF
this year. She was playing about the
floor with some chalk and a rough piece
of paste board, and after awhile she ran
to her mother. exclaming, '0h look
mother what / have drawed." She had
drawn a fine picture of movie actress.
Since then she has been making pic
lures right along. She is as much at
ease before a large audience as she is

vaudeville houses. Her landscape draw
ings in colors are simply wonderful for
a child her age. and everyone who has
seen her at work. predict for her a
most brilliant future.
This little prodigy does not draw from
other pictures, but makes the original
and then names it herself. Each of the
four pictures she is now making is her
own invention and named solely by
her. In her debut in vaudeville Wednes-
day evening she acquitted herself ad-
mirably, and she was given great hand
at the finish OF her work. Seaford is
proud of such prodigy, and the whole
community is wishing her success.
