EELT HAT Announcement "(5° & cente per single copy Being Daughter of Employees of Quirk Noted Actor Proves _ |Battery Company Theatre Handicap lmmum Going around alone to put on a production is an indirect result of the handicap of a famous parent. For months, Miss Skinner related, she tramped around the book.l:zo:: fices getting nothing but rej ‘‘The offices all seemed tb feel that they couldn‘t offer the daughter of Otis Skinner a ‘walkâ€"on part‘," she continues. _ "They certainly could have, but they seemed to feel that I wouldn‘t take such a thing. Naâ€" turally, I would have, and eventuâ€" ally I did get one, "But being ‘Miss Skinner‘ was just too much. That was a handiâ€" cap, all right. But I‘m glad at that I‘m not the daughter of a famous actress of the present day. That would be worse than being the daughter of a wellâ€"known actor. Mother, as you know, retired from the stage when she married father and few of the present day producâ€" ers or theaterâ€"goers remember the famous Maud Durbin." & Her handicap naturally led Miss Skinner to try things on her own. From earliest youth she had done little monologues, writing the parts herself. At a party one night, she entertained the guests with a series of what she described as "stunts." Time Magazine also praised Miss Skinner‘s powers of suggestion, which allowed the audience to acâ€" cept purely imaginary persons as real as those they saw. . Pleased that her skill should elicit praise from such distinguished crities, and her invisible support win such fayâ€" crable word, Miss Skinner nevertheâ€" less confesses that occasional loneliâ€" ness makes her wish she had the soâ€" ciety of other players. Her host, Charles H. Towns, sugâ€" gested that she take up the same thing in the theater. Her status as pioneer and foremost exponent of a now medium in the art of stagecraft is the result. On Saturday, October 21st, the 75th anniversary of Vassar college, one of the oldest women‘s educaâ€" tional institutions in the United States will be observed. = Tall and gracefully slender, she reasoned that she was a little too tall for the average part, but there was another and more potent Tacâ€" tor working ainst her. _ _ Vassar Club Will Observe Diamond Anniversary Oct. 21 In recognition of this occasion, Chicago Vassar club combined with North Shore Vassar club will give a dinner at Edgewater Beach hotel, Saturday evening at 7:15 o‘clock.
