Miss Hllson. catching her breath be-
tween acts at the popular Ninth
street house. where Harry Jarboe
presides in great pomp, connded to-
day TO an interviewer that Broadway
is going TO hear from her by next
season. You have Miss Hilson's au-
thority for the statement that she is
not going TO be content 20 make a
bare stage success. when hard work
and attention 10 detail always pro-
mote the welfare OF the thespian.
This is the frst year Miss Hilson
has served In buTlesque, that great
producer OF stars. She Is co-starring
with her sister. Violet. In one OF the
snappiest burlettas witnessed at the
Gayety this season. She only con-
sented to enter burlesque this year
after the insistent importuning OF her
sister. Miss Hilson. the one who
hopes to be with a musical show next
season, has spent several years In
vaudeville. She thinks IL great
school.
"The Broadway star Is but the be-
ginner after a siege OF hard work
and study" declared Miss Hilson
The stars along the Great White
Way of the show world will tell you
they succeeded only after great EFFORT
in landing a place In the sun. That
is exactly what ] mean to do, work
so hard that nothing short OF per-
msnent disability, Is going TO stop
me. The performer who works with
observance to the small details IL
found to achieve the bigger. things
in this game"
Miss Hilson had never intsn<d
becoming an actress any way. SO the
idea is original with her-we mean
the intention to climb up after a
hard ,apprent enticeship-because she
wanted to stay home in Boston and
teach music. She explained her ap-
pearance in the business by stating
that she believed 1t offered a bigger
opportunity to real success than the
music field.
The Gayety star has a single maxim
of success, hard work and plenty OF IL.
She plans to finish her musical and
literary education this season and
make an effort to please the patrons
OF the big shows next year. Every
fan who has witnessed her work this
year will join in wishing her light
ming speed to the highest rung Of the
ladder in things theatrical.

TWO HOMERS SING

Unusual Musical Offering At

Polls Theater.

There IL no experience on our con-
cert stage today quite comparable TO
the hearing OF the two Louise HomeTs.
mother and daughter in a joint song
recital, in which their duets were
among the most fascinating things
on the program. The rich. vibrant
voice of Nine. Homer has always in
IL a personal depth and beauty OF
particular appeal. while her artistry
and the poise OF an experienced
singer OF opera as well as song bring
to her hearers the gratincation OF
music both felt sincerely and under
stood well.
With the little Louise. whose voice
IL a youthful soprano in contrast to
the contralto wealth OF her mother
there is a freshness and naturalness
that reveals what environment adds
10 art. For there Is f1nish in her
vocalization. style as well as sweet
ness in all she touches. She sang
with rare purity and elasticity the
Strauss Waltz song "Voce di Prim-
avera" following II. as encore. with
the Caro- nome" from "Rigoletto."
The latter song. still young in quail
ity disclosed coloratura voice OF
perfect intonation and articulation,
with freedom in range that will make
her a coloratura to reckon with in
the future.
THE UNUSUAL DUETS.
But IL was in the many duets that
the unusual musical experience came
and delighted an audience that filled
Polls Thea.er yesterday afternoon,
stage, standing room, as well as all
available seats, in this second con-
cert OF the Second Philharmonic
Course presented by Mrs. Wilson
Greene.
That lovely blend OF voices with
freedom in the character OF the
music felt instinctively by both
singers. which is SO seldom heard
made these. duets rare in ensemble
singing. For the type OF the four
Tuscan songs was forceful. colorful,
with pathos and with spirit. But
most charming OF all was the en-
core, the Brahms Gypsy Song" with
its captivating unity OF purpose and
charm OF phrase.
In tho nnal group OF duets the
greatest art was put into the sous
lie Dome Epais,'' from the opera
"Lakme" Of Delibes. when one felt the
sure guidance OF mother in it's subt-
lety, and a beauty and response that
made IL a delightful memory.
To Sydney Homer, husband and

by both artists. that traverse life IN
its potency and in its nonsense. For

full Handel % Sleep. Why Dost Thou
