My little daughter was playing children's
parts, and I made a specialty of
preparing children for theatrical work;
but Gerry interfered with that business
to a considerable extent, mo 1 branched
out to Include the placing of grown
people. You know, nil tho companies
are filled through agencies, and, though
a great many women had made failures
iu rying tto establish agencies, Daniel
rrohman suggested that I see what
I could do, and offered to help me In
very possible way. for thrco years It i
wsi uphill work, although I knew
everybody in the profession, hut when
I got awuy down in the blues I went
over to and ho cheered me
up by telling mo what tough times ho
had at first,
"I was glad in thoso days to do tho
cheapest work, filling choruses, ballets
and spectaculars, but now I am in it
with tho best of them and to stay. I
own my own homo and have taken caro
of my ftttnlly all these- yenrs, and you
may bo sure that I am one of thoso who
believe that a woman can make a go of
anything if she's a mind to."
Miss Elizabeth Marbury is In something
the same line of work, though she
deals with plays
instead of people.
