Runaway Daughter

tai prejudice against the stage melted
before youthful ambition and the spell
of the lights last night and as re-
suit Miss Ruth Laird, is. society girl
of Dallas, Tex, may be allowed to con-
tinue with her stage career.
This was indicated by Mrs. Eliza
beth Laird. her mother, and wife of a
retired oil operator of Dallas, after
she had occupied a front seat at the
opening performance of the show in
which her daughter took part. Mrs.
Laird had come half way across the
continent to prevent her daughter from
appearing in the show. but changed her
mind at the last minute and in defer
ence to Ruth's earnest pleadings.
Miss Laird ran away from a girls
finishing school in Washington two
years ago to study dancing in Paris.
She objected to entering society as
strongly as her parents objected to her
going upon the stage. She returned a
year ago and continued her dancing
studies in New York.
Miss Laird, who had not seen her
mother in more than two years until
they met here yesterday, said she
knew that as soon as her mother saw
her dancing and acting, and understood
her work, she would see things diff
ferently."
Which. apparently, her mother did.
