A'A like to eat every day." was the
reply an exceedingly pretty girl in a
Hollywood cigar store made to a
sleek young man who was trying to
tell her she had "a perfect screen

Hugh Saxon, veteran comedian, who

Prima Donna Chose America
Instead of King Tut

ETHEL WALKER, prima donna Of
the De Wolf Hopper Comic Opera
Company, which is having a prosper
Gus season at Polls Theater. says
that she came to America about d
year ago because her mother fatty
refused to give her consent to her
daughter visiting King Tut's tomb.
Miss Walker is an Australian. She
was born and grew up in the land of
the kangaroo. She states that she
always wanted to sing from the time
when, as a tiny tot, she was taken
by her mother to see the Christmas
pantomimes, and conceived an intense
desire to some time play the fairy
queen in these pantomimes.
Il got my wish, too, said Miss
Walker when talking about this de-
sire, for / had to play fairy queen
for three-year run. / nave always
gotten what / wished most to have.
1t is really remarkable. Now my
biggest ambition is TO play the title
role of Madame Butterfly l love
that role and feel that the music
would suit my voice very well"
Miss Walker studied music in her
home country, getting her foundation
in voice culture with Aspray, and
later including among her teachers
Melba, the great soprano, who ADOPT,
ed feminine version OF her beloved
Melbourne. near which she was born,
as her stage name. Her real name
Is Nellie Armstrong.
After preliminary study and the
pantomimes Miss Walker appeared in
concert tours, musical revues and
musical comedies. She developed an
ambition to study light opera, so that
she could sing Gilbert and Sullivan
roles, but opportunity seemed lacking
at the time. Then the young soprano
decided to take years holiday, and
reaching this decision at the time
that every one was going to Egypt
to inspect the private possessions Of
King Tut, her first desire was to go

Jazz "Clowning" Doomed.
~ IAZZ music and clowning BY the

"TAZz music and clowning by the
> musicians who play it are to be
separated" according to Andy Och
mann. director of a local dance or
chestra. "Since the peculiar form of
music known as jazz became popular
several years ago." says Mr.. Oeh-
mann, a tendency has grown to add
trick effects to the playing. The
drummer. for instance, would throw
his sticks in the air, catch them and
not miss note, while the trombonist
was extremely likely to stand on his
head, if he thought it added to the
atmosphere of the merriment. This
clowning proved popular in some
quarters. But now it is no longer a
novelty, and ! believe the musicians
themselves will be glad to dispense
with the "clowning."
Mr.. Oehmann explains that 1t is not
intended to do away with the snappy,
rhythmical style Of jazz music, but to
place the musicians themselves on a
plane of dignity which was impossi-
