TRIUMPH ON STAGE Rich Girl Proves She Is Actress

'is,

Fifi Laimbeer . . . “on probation’' no longer.

ftU V r .4 Xcrricr , New YORK, May 2.—About six months ago Fifi Laimbeer, 18-year-old Social Register beauty, determined to go on the stage. Her mother, the late Mrs. Nathalia Laimbeer, president of the American Women Bankers’ Association and one of the most prominent women in the financial world at that time, was more than slightly disturbed. Fifi was quite too young; she couldn’t possibly know her own mind; it was far from certain she had any talent, and similar practical objections were made. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the name of Fifi Laimbeer appeared on the program when “Fifty Million Frenchmen” opened its Broadway engagement. nun IT now develops that mother and daughter had entered in to a probation agreement” which stipulated that if, at the end of half a year, the young society girl displayed talent and still found herself interested in the stage, all objection would be removed. A short time later Mrs. Laimbeer died and Fifi found her brother and sister, who had been appointed her guardians, insisting on renewing this agreement. A few days ago, the time limit elapsed. The brother and sister, finding" their aspiring relative more persistent than ever, checked on her progress through the show’s manager. They were told that for a girl without past experience she had shown real ability. Good sportsmen about their bargain, they assembled the cast of the show and invited them all to a banquet, at which the compact was called off and the curtain descended on the “bless you, my child,” theme.
