REAL
GIBSOX
GIRL HERE
MJs Clara Nelson Portrays Cele
brated Type.
In the person of Miss Clara Nelson,
who appears at the Orpheum this week.
Is a real Gibson girl, one of them.
Some of the eminence of the master
Is reflected in the model, for Miss Nel
son has a reputation from one end of
the country to the other for her stat
uesque beauty. It Is said that Mr. Gib
son found In this girl his ideal of the
qualities he has so successfully por
trayed through the medium of his fa
cile pen.
Miss Nelson is both young and at
tractively beautjful. Her natural re
semblance to the type that Gibson made
famous was remarked by critics some
three years ago, and she finally met
the great artist, who also said she por
trayed that type of beauty he had
striven to illustrate.
This Indorsement naturally carried
with It a lot of publicity, much to the
discomfiture of many maidens who had
laid claim to being the only original
model that Mr. Gibson had drawn from.

Miss Nelson reached the ears of Broad
way theatrical agents, overtures tin
gling with tempting compensations
were made to her. ghe eventually was
seen with Frltzi Scheff In several Glb
sonlan scenes In "Mile. Modiste," and
was later secured by the management
of Anna Held and appeared with that
star in "The Parisian Model" for an
entire season.
Since her advent into vaudeville a
year ago Jn similar GIbsonian roles, she
has made a tremendous hit. The re
markable beauty is seen with six beau
tiful colleagues at the Orpheum this
week in a vehicle which gives Miss
Nelson an amp"le opportunity to display
her striking similarity to Gibson's
drawings.
Says All Singers Are Crazy.
"All singers are crazy, more or less!"
was the way Oscar Hammerstein char
acterized the eccentricities of the fa
mous prime donne he encountered dur
ing his three months' tour abroad in
search of talent. "It makes no differ
ence what country you find them in
or what their nationalities . may be,
they are all the same crazy as they
make tnem."
Asked about his experiences in se
curing singers abroad, Mr. Hammer
stein said that he could write a book
on the things he saw and the persons
he met.
"Durlnp. my search I heard more than
five hundred voices and such a va
riety. Of this number, I succeeded in
finding only forty-seven voices that
came up to the standard at the Man
hattan Operahouse. As for the eccen
tricities of those singers, you can put
them all In one class they are one
and all crazy. Whether they are great
singers or singers of no account, they
are affected with the same disease. 1
found this out on several occasions re
cently. No matter how bad I found
some of them, all believed that they
were superior to pattl, Melba or Ca
ruso. If you don't agree with them
and engage them at once for the. high
est salary ever paid they believe the
world Is against them that there is a
secret Mafia or some other kind of or
ganization that is arrayed against
them." New York Cor. Kansas City Star.

East," to which Lord Morley recently re
ferred, could find no better illustration
than the account of a performance of
as you Like It," given by the students
or tne Syrian Protestant College at
Beirut, Syria. In the cast were repre
sentatives of nearly every nationality
and religion of the Bast.
All the parts were played by men.
Rosalind was a younc Greek from Trlry-
oli. Orlando, came from a small Syrian
village in the Lebanon Mountains. Celia
was a son of an Aremnian residine in
Cyprus, while Phoebe was a Jewish boy
irom Aleppo.
Oliver, brother to Orlando, was a mem
ber of a prominent Druze family; the
wrestler was a Kurd from beyond Da
mascus; Corln was the son of English
parents living in Beirut, the .only one of
the actors really familiar with the Eng-
Jish play; Jacques was a Moslem stu
dent from Egypt, Duke Frederick came
from Armenia. Adam was a Greek pilot
on the Suez Canal, while Dennis was a
Copt from the Nils Valley. ' In spite of
the fact that the play was given in a
language so foreign -to that of the actors
and so far removed from their own
mother tongues as is English from
Arabic or .Turkish,, not . a line was for
gotten or a cue lost.
