The Star in the Flesh
When Hanaer MarIowe.f the Victoria J
Theatre, booked 'The Grta? Ruby," a Uf
Mn feature photoplay" released through"
the V, L. S. E. program, n wasjnot long
la asking .Miss Dctaria. Hand worth. t one

present In person and view the play from
a box: It Is not often that local movie
Tans are given an opportunity to see
a favorite screen star In the flesh, and so
when the chance was given them Tues
day evening they turned out in hun
dreds to greet Miss Handworth.
After her day's work (yes. work: for
it is not a very easy life, this being
asked to Jump from the back of a
hni-mi foil fmm hr4rim bnfl nthpr little
things that jro to make up the life of a
movie star), she was escorted, from the '
Lubln studio to the Bingham Hotel by
Miss Margaret O'Connor, personal repre
sentative or Mrs. Stephen Morris, or the
Market Street Theatre Company. Here
she was Inet by Mejsrs. Goldenberg.
Earle. Marlowe and Beggs.
From there the party, went to the the
atre, and after the photographers re
corded her presence, proceeded immedi
ately to the stage where she thanked
the audience for their reception and
' hoped they would like her work.
j She was then escorted to a bor espe- i
cially decorated with flowers and enjoyed I
eeelng herself as others see her.
Other boxes were occupied -by members
from the Lubln company, press repre- .
' sentatlves, nnd other Invited guests. It I
was all Just as one little boy said, "Gee,
I but it's Ereat to be a movie actresR." '
Who Is Irene Oshier?
When Irene Oshier. the leading woman
or the Penn Players at the Walnut Street
Theatre, worshipped Miss Dorothy Don
nelly from an orchestra chair at the
Murray Hill Theatre in New Tork she
hardly expected that her "great ambi
tion" was ever to be gratified: yet a few
years. later she was playing the Don
nelly part in the first company after the
original one.
Miss Oshier went on the stage because,
well, frankly, she was "stage-struck."
When she would see Mist Donnelly week
after 'week her one great thought was.
"if I only could do that." Finally she
made her first appearance with Blanche
WaUh in "The Resurrection." Realizing
her Ignorance of the stage, and anxious
to receive a thorough training, she gained
her most valuable experience In the
hardest of all theatrical schools, learning
Shakespearean roles, and learning them
prtperjy, for among the masters with
whom she played the classic roles were
Modjeeka and Louis James.
She next became leading woman for
Creston Clarke, and appeared in a play
written by his wife. Adelaide Prince,
The Power That Governs." Next came
an engagement with Annie .Russell and
next she followed Helen Ware, playing
Annie JeBTertes in "The Third Degree."
Then her dream came true, and she was
engaged to play "Madame X." the role
her "inspiration," Miss Donnelly had
created.
