Goes From Society to
Stage.

1t was only a few short years ago
that Official and society Washington was
surprised and thrilled at the announce
ment that Miss Talullah Bankhead,
daughter of Representative Bankhead of
Alabama, was going upon the stage.
We'll, it's only a fad with her. ]
suppose she wants to amuse herself"
was the general opinion as voiced over
the teacup.
Those few years have been busy ones
for TaiullAh Bankhead, and accordingly
it Is with some pride that this bud of
a real southern family returns to the
educated, as featured player in
Broadway production. Not social promi
nence, but hard work, study. natural
talent personality. beauty and charm
have brought about an advancement in
the realm of the theater that has been
as rapid as it is remarkable.
Her first engagement was the lead in
"Thirty-nine East" replacing Constance
Binney. Rather unusual that, but Miss
Bankhead is an unusual girl, and 1T is
needless to say that she was a success.
However, this engagement proved to her
the technique of the stage, SO she ac-
cepted an engagement in that greatest
school of the theater. and played leads
in stock in Somerville. Returning to
New York, she played sizeable roles in
several pictures, and then was signed
for the bored society girl in Nice
People" So great was her personal
success that she was engaged to be fea-
tured, or rather starred, in Everyday"
This closing, she played in Danger"
at the Thirty-ninth Street Theater, and
when this closed created the leading role
in Her Temporary Husband"
/ If Mr.. Brown had set himself out to
| write role for Talullah Bankhead he
could not have written one more per
fectly suited to her personality than
! her present one. Il am scared Of it,
it is so perfect" Miss Bankhead con-
fessed during rehearsals. Il have often
! dreamed of the parts would like to do,
for what actress hasn't, but never in
my widest dreams did I think anything
/ so ideal would fall my way. She Is such
a regular girl, instinctively a lady,
which 1 hope l succeed in portraying.
but stepping out as it were, and doing
as she pleases, because she pleases. and
sometimes because she hopes it will
shock. / only hope people like her,
and perhaps me, as much as 1 like her
and enjoy playing her."
