A Rube Aphrodite ISS MILDRED WALKER, the young woman who counterfeits the nude statue of Aphrodite in Mr. Gest’s impassioned production of that name, did not know that she was being “interviewed.” It is no fault of hers that sue is neie exposed with her shoes, stockings, skirt and wristwatch on; I take all the blame for the inartistic deed. They have a suppress-agent department in the “Aphrodite” organization which sees to it that in the newspapers Miss Walker is never photographed, paragraphed, biographed. She is the most widely unknown sensation on the stage. But when in the lobby of the Auditorium I happened casually to be introduced to her and her dressing room mate, Georgiana Decker, who acts Myrtis (the smaller of the two little sisters that play about Chrysis) ; when I had walked with Mildred and Georgiana to the corner drug store, and ordered malted milks all round and a whole half-pound of peppermint candy; when I had found out what Mildred really is — why, then I made up my mind to steal an interview. For I found out that the world’s nakedest actress in the most startling theatrical production of the century is — a rube. On my soul and conscience, the supreme revealment in this disrobed drama is just a little rube.
