QUITS CAFE JOB
TO JOIN "BABES"
Miss Frances Tait's Hit in
Chorus Leads to Offer of
; Something Better
Is Now Awaiting Arrival of
Company Playing Herbert's
;;\u25a0: Musical Comedy
Walter Anthony
•"• ' When Miss Frances Tait made her
•big hit recently at the Princess, singing
from the rear ranks of the chorus the
old time melody, "Swanee - River," it
was prophesied that she would become
a. star; that her voice justified the pre
diction. She achieved a passing fame.
C William Kolb said that the splash
in the spot light would do her harm.
Said he: "We'll not be able to hold her
at all." So it turned out. She resigned
recently from the Kolb and Dill com
pany, claiming she hadn't been treated
right. She had been kept in the chorus.
Then she went to work in an uptown
cafe, where she sang musical accom
.'paniments to menus. Yesterday she got
'* telegram from the manager of "The
Babes in Toyland" company, which is
coming to the American theater soon,
offering her a position. He had heard
of her success here, and is going to give
Tier a chance in his cast of principals.
.So she resigned from her cafe job and
is awaiting the arrival of the company
\u25a0'\u25a0playing the Victor Herbert musical
.comedy. Perhaps she will yet be a
star.
In "The Babes in Toyland" company
•phe will be associated with Miss Gene
Qrmond, who, by the way, is something
of a philosopher in her lines, some of
which are these: /.".. -' "
'.- "Fads are otker person*.' hobbies.
- •- "An allowance is a sum of money. we
•pend before we net it.
- "A distant relative is usually a rich
pne." 1
*2 • • : j,*; • »\u25a0 . • .*; ' :
. Miss Grace Travers* eyes are notable.
For a sedate Oakland girl they might
be termed sensational. The expression,
however, is merest makebelleve and not
to be taken as indicative of what they
seem. She has been on the stage only
a little over a year. Her first experi
ence was at Idora park, when she sang
•with Arthur Cunningham. That was
about a year ago. Then she applied
for work at the Valencia, which at that
time needed reinforcements. Manager
AValter Hoff Seely took her. on a trial
and she's there yet. In less than a
.year she has jumped from microscopic
parts to roles second in importance.

seconds, behind Apperson.': Oldfield lost
his: chances ; 'of "winning.^t the start by

some wonderful work 'at the wheel.'
Apperson, ', at the'rlsk of his life,
turned" out- to" save a- spectator -who
persisted in V getting \in the t center , of
the road. Those who saw Apperson
turn.' wide : are still trying -to figure
how.he'held the road afterward. .

his experience in the way ' he handled
his ;car. More' than 110,000 spectators
witnessed 1 the different events. There

"A few weeks ago we received an
order for one of our ,40 horsepower cars
to be sent to Seoul, the capital of Ko
rea. The. car. was ordered by the man
ager.of a large mining company and he
gave us the most explicit instructions
as to how we were to make the ship
ment. It seems that the Koreans are
not- favorably disposed toward automo
biles and -they exclude them from, the
country" byimposing^a^prohibltive im
port duty. On the other hand, the min
ing company, by the, terms of Its con
cession, was permitted" to Import mmm
ing 'machinery, free of duty.-,- "

feo thoroughly.' said our -customer from
