Il had two terrible dislllusionments
IN my youth. The first was when I
found out that there wasn't any Santa

Fashion Finds No
SlaUe i1s Person
Of Violet Her,siva 9

Violet Henling has q way Of swing.
ing across the stage. A free stride il
IS, and her shoulders sway buoyantly
IN rhythm with her step. However ro-
mantle or fairylike her character NAV
seem, by tho mere movement Of her
step she transforms it into q person Of
real flesh and blood. Pamela, the
lovely lady Of Mines new play, "The
Lucky One" produced by the Theater
Guild, might seem the sort Of girl who
was too good to be true, with her ex-
quislte gift Of always knowing what to
say and when to say it. But Miss
fleming makes her real when she
swings out upon the stage.
That freedom Of movement is hardly
confined to the stage, however. Her
costume off and her street dress ON,
Violet Henling is the kind of woman 2
man loves to walk beside, for she does
not mince but measures her step with
his own.
And now for the secret of her blithe-
some step. Miss Heming confdes If
even at the risk of being called un-
1ashlonahle-short skirts. Not knee.
length skirts, but dresses that give a
generous view Of the ankle, about eight
inches from the ground. No matter u
hef stage costumes call for gowns that
trail the carpets, in her private life sha
dons comfortable dress that n,1ows
her to walk.
"Slavishly following fashions. with
no regard for your figure or personal
ity' is nonsensical," says Violet Hem.
ing. II can't see why should be co,n-
peiied TO put on a long, tightly draped
SKIRT just because thousand or more
women have decided to dress that wav

ana mercifully concealing all that Is

gowning
And Il woman is too stout to wear

Her second act gown is of sand

she is appropriately costun,ed for a

no better than proceed to become ac-

OF course, we could only believe that

Blond Miss Hines
Came TO Stage
From Church Choir

Little Nellie Kelly is an er-cholr
singer.
For more than year the pretty and
delicately graceful young woman who
was "The O'Brien Girl" lass season and
who is Nellie Kelly in the new George
NJ. Cohan song and dance show this
season sang in the choirs OF New York
churches. Broadway Is Just now be-
ginning to assemble the facts regard
ing her career. Miss Hines, IL you
please, has come to ba 6 person of
aone Importance.
1t was while she was singing at st.
Bartholomew's, Park Avenue and Fif-
tieth Street, that Elizabeth Hines, who
I is bona fide native New Yorker, de-
c1ded that she intended to strike out
for the stage. So she immediately pre-
! pared to add dancing to her accom-
| plishments, and not so long aftsrward
an "Oh, Boy" company that went tour
ing through the South had Elizabeth
Hines as one Of it's members. Il no
happens that the writer of this account
witnessed performance of "Oh, Boyn
In Atlanta in the capacity of critic.
ana that the company that he saw was
fhe company with which the piauantly
pretty blond New York girl had be-
come associated.
The Broadway debut Of Miss Hines
was made in "Loye Birds" Many Of
the veteran playgoers saw her and
liked her. George NJ. Cohan saw her
and liked her. When "The o'Brien
Girl" came into being Elizabeth Hines
was called upon to do the. title role.
The rest is old stuff.
Miss Hines said the other aay in her
dressing room at the Liberty that when
she came to the firm conviction some
years back that the stage alone would
satisfy her she was not in the least bit
stage struck She had, however, gem
uine liking for the work, and it seemed
TO her as being pretty COED CONNER
eiai proposition. And so far as she is
concerned 1t has been just that.

It or not-was born right here in town
and grew up here, and her father is 8
newspaper man here. She thought
most Of her friends lived here. but

Believe 1t or Not, Here's
An Actor Who Says He
Hates the Spotlight

NO book OF SMILES would be com

loving the spotlight. but in .sThe Pass

VINO admits he doesn't care for it. The
reason is--it bothers him!
This unusual specimen is Alexander
Frank, who, after thirty years in the
dramatic field, is now making his mu-
steal comedy debut at the Winter Car
den. And therein lies the secret OF
his aversion to the spotlight.
I'D like this new work ne said. 'sif

gauge ribbon of light. You know, we
never bothered with spotlights in dra-

forget the first performance OF THE

spite my thirty years on the stage 1

stage fright.
I'm getting accustomed to it now,
but for q while that light WAS quite
obnoxious. I hated it. never seemed
complete without my shadow. II fol-
lowed me everywhere, and got the
absolutely unjustiaed feeling that it
Was like finger of derision. OF
course, It was foolish, but one cannot
help such 1reakish mood When the
spotlight was taksn OF me TO fash on
some other player got terrific feel
ing of satisfaction that the spctlishs
was as whimsical as myself.

not now get on my nerves. But that
operator has s. sure aim with the
thing"
