Byron has had much experience

with Margaret Ellington and Jane
Cowl. In some well known plays he
has played nearly every male role
during his career on the stage.

Chiquita VIII Not Be a FIabbeY

The modes employed by the
modern fapper do not appeal to
Chiquita, the dainty little midget,
who entertains the crowds at Broad
Ripple Park with her singing ana
dancing in a miniature theater.
According to Chiquita, she has re-
fused numerous times the lure to
have her hair bobbed. Unlike her
larger sisters Chiquita has not yet
fallen for this fad. The little miss
however, dresses modern in every
way. One of the best Charleston
dancers in the country taught her
the steps OF the dance while she
was filing ar engagement at Coney
Island. but still she has no desire
to strut her stun on the public dance
floors.
Chiquita, is a big favorite around
the park. She can do more with
the wild animals in the zoo than
the regular keepers. When tiny
performer visits the ZOO the big cats
purr and rub UP against the bars
Of their cages while the little miss
pats them. When the keepers try
that act Of thing the cats are ready
to fight.
Chiquita is so small that even

Later on during our chat, Mrs.
Byron entered the dressing room
and completely proved her point
that the Knockers in question were

that afternoon.

there is such a thing as a loud tie.
Milton refuses to wear red"
So they compromise and Mrs.
Byron selects much of the wardrobe.
