"I’ve never sung any other part— I’ve never been on the stage before— and there never was anybody in my entire family who had ever been on the stage until I dared go—so that’s my life story.” If anyone should happen to ask you how old pretty Irene Dunne is—and, by the way, that is her real name— I’d say about 19, and this is really' true, and not according to the latest interview style of making the heroine of a story just 18 or younger, and she's chucked full of personality, debonnair and gay, just the ideal type for the delightful heroine of Mr. Montgomery’s comedy. "When I studied singing at the Chicago Musical college 1 was lucky enough to be honored with the gold medal the last year I w’as there, which is presented by John McCor mack, Eygene Yn^ve and Frederick Stock, conductor ofThe Chicago sym phony. I had expected all felong to go on the stage, so when we went to New York I saw' 'Irene’ and wanted to play tiie role and asked for it. "Mr. Montgomery, who wrote the comedy, is responsible for all that I am and all the success I ever expect -to make. lie coached me In the role as he coached Edith Day. AdeJe Row land and Patti Harold, and when ho took me at my face value and was1 willing to take a novice (for that I wras) and present me, naturally I was very grateful and can never repay him for the chance he gave me, for that is what it was. As Kipling says, ’he gave me chance and I stuck,’ and, seeking to have Just a little niche on the stage, I have succeeded in my ambition. "But here I am talking about my self all the time. But, then, that’s what an interview' is for. Isn't It?'* I said it was, and begged Miss Irene Dunne to go on, and she whim sically said: ”1 used to think that in terview's were something awful, like Descriptive Itinerary of Proposed Mexican Tour Birmingham Chamber of Commerce .

MONTEREY—A muchly Ameri canized city of about 110,000 population, with great smelters and factories, but it is, of course, Mexican after all, and is the sec ond city of importance in Mexico. She was founded in 1560 by the early Spaniards. S?he sits upon a lofty plateau, 2,318 feet above sea level, and is completely sur ' rounded by mountains, one of which, the “Cerro de la Silla” (Saddle mountain), has an alti tude of 4,149 feet,, the peak of which is shaped exactly like a sad dle, requiring no stretch of the imagination, as is often the case with some of our mountains in the U. S. A. This mountain can be seen upon entering Monterey and from all parts of the city. The “Cerro de las Mitras,” 3,618 feet high, is the “Mountain of Mitres,” ' and is not quite so compelling to the view as Saddle mountain, but that piece of the “Bishop’s Vest ments” is just as vivid to the av erage vision. These might well be termed the bluest of the blue mountains, and they stand out against the blue sky in marvel ously clear atmosphere. The “Bishops’ Palace” (now in ruins), was built in 1872; the old ca thedrals, the Plaza Mayo, the Theatre and the Alameda are all points of interest—the town in it self is interesting and well worth the visit. In Monterey is the fa mous hotel, “Gran Ancira,” which was used by revolutionists as their headquarters, and still carries marks of their occupancy.

The markets, state capitol, library, museum, plaza, cathedral, churches (one never tires of seeing churches in Mex ico—there is a sameness, it is true, but after all, there is a dif ference in each of them) and the shops, too, are points of interest.
