GERTRUDE EOERLE-

An Artists s Career

MISS IRBY MARSHALL, the tai.
ented leading woman of the
Shakespeare Association of America.
was born in Australia and passed her
early life in that country, where she
acquired fondness for outdoor sports
and became an accomplished horse
woman. She was u great social
favorite in Melbourne and was in
duced to join an amateur dramatic
society, and appeared with them in
various plays. She was finally cast
for the part of Lady Jessica Napier in
Henry Arthur Jones' play of "The
Liars" and made a decided hit.
BY chance, Julius knight, who was
one Of the most important dramatic
producers in Australia, happened to
see her, and recognizing her unusual
ability, offered her the leading role in
a company that he was then forming.
Miss Marshall accepted his offer and
found herself launched in a career.
After concluding her engagement
with Knight she went to England,
where she appeared with various COM
panies before coming to the United
States. Her first engagement here
was with William J. Brady, as leading
woman in "The Eldest Son." Later
she appeared under his management
in "Sealed ORDERS" This was fol-
lowed by an engagement with Arthur
Hopkins for play entitled, "The
Happy Ending" Upon its closing she
was engaged for Ethel Barrymore in
'Declassee," then with Elsie Ferguson
in 1.-The Wheel of Life" and with
Mary Nash in 1.-THE Lady" Through
out her theatrical career she has never
lost her love of the country, and she
spends a large part of her vacations
on her estate in Duchess County, N.
Y. Some years since, while in Los
Angeles, she was invited to visit the
Geological Gardens and became par
ticularly attracted by cage of young
pumas. Some one in the party jok-
ingly dared her to enter the cage and
without a moments hesitation Miss
Marshall opened the door, which hap.
pened to be loosely fastened, and went
in. A few moments later she regretted
her temerity. The pumas, although
fortunately too young to be danger
Gus, disturbed by her entrance, rushed
wildly around the cage, knocking her
down and crowding her into corner.
where she was shortly after rescued
by one of the keepers. who had been
summoned Miss Marshall is fond of
animals and is always attended by a
familiar spirit in the form of gigan-
tic white Angora cat.

now appears to have the inside track
for the role.

Spider Gets Movie Job.

ONE of the strangest movie actors
- to visit Los Angeles in many
moons, huge. hairy-legged tarantula,
arrived recently via airplane from
Tucson, Ariz., to play an important
role in "Woman WISE" being filmed
at the Fox studios.
Because all local tarantulas began
their Winter hibernation several weeks
ago, IL was necessary to import one
from Arizona. A hurry call for a
large, active specimen was telegraphed
to an animal collector of Tucson, who
in less than an hour had one caught
and boxed, ready for shipment.
Frank Clark, Los Angeles aviator,
who was leaving for Los Angeles, con-
sented to deliver the insect to the Fox
studios, where for care and safe keep
ing 1t was turned over to Duke Kaha-
namoku, Hawaiian swimmer, who
claims to be more or less of an author
ity on the subject Of tarantulas.
