der the tutelage OF her mother on this

cult, not only enjoys the distinction
of belonging TO the biggest burlesque
show afloat, but also prives the
unIaue honor OF having been the
Youngest star in musical comedy that
Henry w. Savage ever directed.
IL has been but a scant four years
since Miss Weber's craze for dancing
and singing led her to break from
the monotonpus life of a convent stu
dent. She was first In vaudeville and
all OF her eighty pounds were not
enough TO make her a big girl so she
could get into the legitimate time,
she explained TO an interviewer to-
day SO she hit upon the idea OF en-
tering a contest that Savage promo
ted to obtain feminine stars OF the
first rank for his productions. After
capturing top honors. the producer
'Twenty-one" came the quick reply.
Articles were signed for a season.
Later, after Miss Weber had made
good she looked up her benefactor
and explained that she was but eight

you'll have to stay until your ocn-
tract Is finished" And so II was.
Miss Weber is glad she is spending
year in burlesque, and inasmuch AT
IL is her first experience, she Is new
to the game. Her great ambition is
to be on Broadway with big attrac-
ton, her name in electric lights and
everything, before she is twenty-one
