FREDERIC LaDELLE Station 2S6 Jackson, IWiclifKan The Beauteous Yvonne {Continued from page 26) We did not get to Philadelphia until tl show was over ! It was late, and the hotel clerk whoi we approached thought we were craz' demanding two rooms — and having n baggage. But we persisted. I kept wa\ ing the vanity box high above my hea until I finally impressed it upon his min we were fully equipped. “To sleep, certainly, would have bee; ridiculous. Most people go to that towi for that, but we had come to see ‘Penny. We did not pay any attention to th. clock, you can be sure. A few hour; later we were happily engaged in ou; visit, and after breakfast we were er route again to Broadway and our re hearsal for our premiere that night Until I was eighteen all my days werf spent up North. That’s the climate foi you. Every mcinth is as it should be Winter is freezing and summer is hot, That’s where people get their chance tc live and a chance to have fun, which, after all, is my idea of living. School in Canada meant one important thing to me. It was not so much study as the sporting life of the outdoors and the ideal companionship of young boys and girls. I never crammed. I never fretted over examinations. “I loved the theater. I was crazy about music. And there was nothing like the motion of dancing. Immediatelv after I left college I ran off with Joseph Santley s company In ‘When Dreams Come True. It didn’t last a long time, but it was enough to make me want more,_ so the next season I went, under the Ziegfeld-Dillingham management, in ‘The Century Girl.’ I never worked so hard before. Eight times a week with the show, and every single night, after the performance, I danced and sang in the Cocoanut Grove on the Roof. “I went with the Eollies after that for one season. So far I have done only one picture for Mr. Rothapfel. Association with him is a treat. But I do wish we didn’t have to rehearse so excessively. That is what takes all the realism out of it. If I am told to do a thing, I can do it spontaneously, at once. But I cannot drill and drill and then, after the seventh performance, act as tho it were natural. I suppose 1 11 get used to it. And wont it be funny if the movies is the one medium ■ that can make me learn poise and restraint \’* . j The door banged open. A golden little boy stood on the threshold. Yvonne’s three-year-old brother, Jerome, was duly introduced to me. She hummed “The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring,” but didn’t have time for “Tra-la !” before the telephone jangled, and the maid entered to announce, “Miss Eeslie.” “Please tell her,” spake Miss Shelton, continuing to shimmie, “to get tickets for Tumble In’ and to telephone Flo and ask her to come along. I’ll call for them at eight.” {Continued on page 88) (Eighty-two) 'v
