Byt few outside his circle of Intimates Know that years before he deemed himself ready to make the great adventure he was earnestly advised by friends most competent to pass Judgment upon his proficiency, to essay tills most difficult of roles, # However, though doubtless ambition urged him to comply, he steadily refused, the eneoniums of his friends only inspiring him, quite characteristically, to greater assiduity, If possible, in pursuing his studies. Elsie Janie to Go to Paris Elsie Janis has just completed her last week for the time being on the Keith Circuit. She wound up at the Orphejjin Theater, Brooklyn, last week, and soon she will go to 'Paris to play the name part In the French production of "Sally.”
