Ada Lewis is so well recognized

Of comedy dowagers that pro

which pervades the soul of George

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL
AND VERY MUCH
ANNOYED

Can you imagine being so
beautiful that every time your
picture appears in the mazagines
or newspapers. you must spend
hours writing refusals to hun.
dreds of offers Of marriage.
Such is the lot of Pearl A.
Howell-of Flatbush--a suburb
of Brooklyn. she has placed in
her trophy case four first prizes
received in beauty contests; and
is entered in three more.
1t is all right enough to re
ceive these offers IL one wants
70 get married, but when one Is
as determined as Pearl says sha
is, not to get married for, ever
SO long, then receipt Of such
proposals becomes a bore.
Pearl is eighteen years old.
She is a blond and she is
beautiful. Her hair is bobbed
and is curly. She is one Of the
principal dancers with the musical
comedy plain Jane" now de
lighting audiences at the Ma
tional. This, fair little beauty
admits that married life may
have charms, but adds that it
holds no special lure for her.
She says:
II want a career. Some folks
can be married and still devote
their time to their art. 1t is a
truism that one cannot serve
two masters. This is especially
true with regard to the stage,
which Is very exacting. Re-
hearsals require plenty Of time.
How then can one devote her
best energies to her lines and
part when her mind is continuous.
