DANOED INTO FAME
ATFODR.SHELEADS
I BALLET AT SIXTEEN
Little. Miss Miller Never
Had a Lesson and Calls
Terpsichorean Life Easy,
If One Sleeps a Lot.
Flxtecnyear-old Miss Morllynn Stiller
her real, "rlghty" name, If you please
Is the premiere danseuie In the divertisse
ment In "The rawing Show of 1914," and
does some clever Imitating to boot.
She lias never seen Anna I'avlowa, or
even the Vernon Catties, for that mat
ter. Moreover, she lias rtever taken a
dancing lesson In her life, and yet at nn
age "Vhen moat girls are, only Just mak-lug-
up their mind's whether the game Is
worth the climb, sho has arrived well
toward the top of the ladder of her chosen
career.
Quaint, demure and modest, with none
of the proverbial earmarks of the actress,
she suggests tho bread-and-butter miss
fresh from tho confines of some young
ladles' finishing school rather than tho
llltlo ballet dancer In tarlotan and tights.
who nightly hops up on her toes and
rilroucttofl hround with all tho lightness
of a feather, tho grace of a butterfly and
tho energy and vlvnclty of a veritable
dynamo.
TOE CANCER SINCE SHE WAS FOUH.
To see her curled 'up In a ychalr In
her room, a maid trimming her a hat on
one sldo and a solicitous mamma hover
ing on the other, you'd never think she
could do It. She doesn't look the part.
And yet:
'Tic been doing too dancing ever since
I was four," she will toll you, with girlish
pride. "I am known all over tho Western
circuits, have been to Cuba and Hawaii
and to Europe twice, and only Just mado
my debut In New York with this "Pass
ing Show" when It was brought out this
jenr at the Winter Garden.
"liow did 1 ltarn to dance? I didn't.
It was born In me. I don't know how
1 do It, but I Just do. It's as easy as
eating or breathing or sleeping.
"When I was t years old my mother
took me to a moving picture show. I
remombcr It distinctly. It was In Day
ton, O., and tho movies were a novelty
then. One of the films showed n ballet
dancer, and after seeing her, It looked
so easy that I felt that I simply must
try It.'"
"Yes," Interposed her mamma at this
point, "she said to mo, 'Mamma, If you
would make a flufTy lltle skirt like that
I'm sure I could do that.' "
'And mammu made me the little skirt,"
she continued, "and In my stocking feet,
without nny slippers whatever, I dis
covered that my toes would support me.
"JIy mother and father were de
lighted Together with my two sisters
they were tiavcllng In a vaudeville act.
They took me In, and wo became known
as the FIio Columbians. All over the
West, freni Chicago to the Coast, wo
traveled, and I was down on tho pro
gram as Baby Miller. But whenever
the family camo East they had to leave
me out, for the Gerry Society, of Now
I'ork, and tho various child labor laws
of the other States prohibited my ap
pearing. "It was last summer In London that
Mr. Shubert saw me. I was dancing In
vaudeville and had on a little frock that
mode all by myself." Sho ran to the

"It's right well put together, too." sho
added with naive pride.
"Well, Mr, Shubert camp several times
to see me. and almost before I knew It
I had signed a five-year contract with
him and was making plans for my New
York coming out. And here I am In the
'Passlns Show,' doing tho thing that I
like best of all to do dancing.
"Dancing, you know," she continued,
"t not nt all tho strenuous occupation
that It looks, It you take it In tho right
sort of way, A dancer must have sleep,
nnd plenty of it. Twelve hours. If she
can manage to squeeze them In. None
of your Edison's 40 winks. That would
never do."
APPLE CROP A BUMPER ONE
Falling Off In Exportation Adds to
Home Supply,
WASHINGTON, Oct. H.-Apple dump
lings, applo fritters, apple pie, apple
sauce, applo cobbler, In fact every applo
concoction known to man, except pos
sibly applejack, ought to appear on tho
menu often from now on, according to a
bulletin Just Issued by tho Department
of Agriculture.
Apples are going to be plentiful this
yea.-, and. In addition to this, a big fall
ing off in tho exportation of apples to
, turope Is expected as a result of the
European war. Europe annually Im
ports 2,000.000 barrels of American apples.
"The problem of distribution will prove
to be more complex this year owing to
certain conditions resulting from tha
European war," says tho department.
'Both the growers and dealers are urged
Jo view the situation with optimism and
to prepare for tho disposal of Europe's
usual portion In other ways. It Is sug
gested that with Judicious handling the
demand at home may be Increased and
the commercial crop marketed with re
latlvely fair success to all."

Lawyers Sum TJp in Litigation Over
?1,200,000 Sale of Stock.
NEW YORK, Oct. H.-A verdict In tho
Gould-Hclnze litigation Is expected today.
Neither sldo has called Charles W.
Morse to testify, although his name was
used freely In tho evidence.
Edwin Gould sued F. Augustus Helnzo
for $1,200,000 on a note, alleging this sum
was duo as part payment for S00O shares
of Mercantile National Bank stock.
Hclnze says he was duped In buying the
stock through representations of Charles
W. Morso, an nlleged agent for Gould.
In summing up for Mr. Hclnze, cx
Stoto Senator Bhackett said:
"I am willing to admit fhn r n..u
has a pew on the centre alslo of his
church and that every Sunday ho may
be seen pussy-footing It up to tho chnncel

"I nm willing to Imagino that ho would
put an extra $10 bill In tho plato next
r,U'lVr', ho c1"'? onIy wln t"1" million
from Hoinzo. Yet. as I have observed
tho two men on the atand. I fail to see
nny reason why Gould should bo any
more fit to become a president of a bank
than Helnze.
"If you buy a horse that Is represented
Z .u0" ani BonA,e and u tu" out
that tho horso has the lieavji. vn -
return tho horso nnd get back vour
money. J
"Helnze bought this Btock nnd found
It had tho heaves. Ho not only should
not be compelled to pay the remainder
of the money, but ho ought to got back
the cash he did pay."
Alton B. Parker, for Gould, said Helnze
never uouKiit me biock ror Investment,
but only for speculation to got control
of the bank to use It for his own purposes.
