He has done his stuff before almost
all the crowned heads and also be-
fore every United States president
since Roosevelt.
He says that the most interesting
show he ever gave was before the

of his life reads more like fiction
than autobiography. but Golfers

$4,000 for three installments of the
story of his life. Since then his
autobiography has been published
in book form.

Wnen ne started tne career tnaJ
has led him to the top Mr.. Fields
entered a business that was far from
organized and entailed much finan-
cial Jeopardy.
He recalls. those days with evi-
dent relish, showing that It was as
much the bohemian atmosphere
that enshrouded the theater as the
love Of the profession which en-
ticed those who entered the bust
ness. 1t is customary among pro-
fess.onals TO refer to their calling
as The Business.
One of Mr.. Fields first associa-
tons was with Jim Fulton, owner
of the we'll known Monte Carlo
Girls burlesque show. 1t was a
custom in those days to get a
sucker as he was termed, inter-
ested in one Of the girls, and then
get him to invest in the show. In
introducing the prospective investor
among the girls the angel invari-
ably was smitten with the charms
of Fulton's wife, and Fields can

time he would discover that a new
angel was interested in Mrs. Full
ton, and he laughs as heartily over
these memories as he would, or
could over the newest bon mot at
the Lambs Club.
One Of the fondest "reminiscences
IS how he started his salary on the
upward trend He was engaged by
Fred Irwin as comedian in the
Irwin burleSque show at S35 a week.
Irwin was constantly kicking in re-
hearsalS that he could never make
any money paying salaries like
that. When the show opened in
Cincinnati, a critic, whom Fields
thinks never even saw the show,
gave him good notice and he de-
manded and got $50 a week and
A better spot on the bill. He must
have made good. Fields thinks, for
when he threatened to quit, Irwin
gave him SIS a week. There were
no contracts or equity in those
days, and it vas all a friendly YER
bal agreement.

and offered him a route over the
then famous Orpheum circuit.
headed by Martin Beck. he was
surprised to receive SIPS a week
without a murmur. But the differ
ence may be imagined when Earl
Carroll readily assented to giving
Fields 5000 weekly, the contract
being drawn up by a couple of
famous lawyers, and Fields being
exploited as star ahead of the
name of the producer of the
VanitieS.

irresponsible enjoyment of Shes
No Lady" which will be offered for
three nights and a Wednesday
matinee at English's opera house
commencing Monday, Feb. "a.
This is the new farce-comedy
lately produced with great success
by Il. H. Frazee Jr., and written by
Bruce Spaulding and Anthony
Baird. An extended road tour had
been booked, due to Mr.. Overman's
popularity in various cities, but the
highly enthusiastic press comment
that has followed the new farce
wherever it has been seen has per-
suaded the booking powers to alter
their plans and send She's No
Lady" direct to Chicago. Conse-
quently indianapolis will be the last
city to be visited prior to the Chi
cago engagement. For once. then,
we may actually count on the New
York cast and production in its en-
tirety. and we may enjoy real
novelty without waiting for Broad
way to tell us why and when.
She's No Lady. is an out-and-
out farce-and it is a long time
since we have had one. While not
venturing to disclose the very
original story, with its clever and
surprising complications, it is
whispered that one amusing twist
in the action calls for the star to
masquerade for a goodly part of
the play in modish feminine f1nery.
This in a degree, recalls that most
famous of farces, "Charley's Aunt, ="
though the parallel ends right there,
since shes No Lady" is to the last
degree modern and even a bit
sophisticated
Produced under the dependable
Frazee name-which gave us the
memorable mo, No, Nanette, -
there is every guarantee of fully
rounded performance and an eve
ming of rare pleasure. The excellent
cast supporting Mr.. Overman in
cludes Walter N. Greaza, Robert
Cummings. Mildred Macleod, Do
lores De Monde, Patricia Chapman,
Louise White, Josephine Deffry,
Bertha Greenhouse, Lora Hays,
Pauline Mason and a dozen more.
Attractive prices have been ar
ranged for the three-day engage
ment here, with popular matinee on

what the well-dresSed woman should
