Why, it's wonderful when you come

For instance. there's Jane Maule Nc
iyer. she is staying with her father
and mother. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
price Maule, and they live in that Rit-
tenhouse street block. Well, Jane. u
you please, is going to take the part or
Josephine in "Pinafore' when the
Savoy bursts forth into song next
month. l never heard Jane sing until In
why Noty' when she did that clever
little japanese song about THE Cruelty
Of My Mother in Law" Her voice is
very pretty and she has good looks ana
personality, so she will be fine. And
Elizabeth Latts is to be Hebe. It's
great that we have this talent among
our amateurs, so that no professional
has to be brought in. Not that I'm
agin professionals. BY no means.
But I do believe in encouraging home
talent.
Tn THESE days when you are asked
