I"8 young American m a'"ste, whose chief contribution to the Vl stage during a varied and brilliant sjl ' carcer llas bee brilliant series of Im- jrE intnn. e , ,,. .. ., i... K presslons of favorite stage stars, has other ambitions. Just at present Miss Janls is presenting her portraits In vaudeville nnd will be the headline fea ture of the bill at B. F. Keith's Theatre next week. As booh as she can obtain the necessary uassnorts and transporta tion, however, Miss Janls will return ta Fraflce, where sho will apend her time In offering entertainments for the wound ed soldiers in tho hospitals and rest camps. When she returns to America ah. hopes to star" In a new comedy along different lines from anything In which she has yet appeared. Miss Janls Is not looking forward to being a Bernhardt or a Marlowe, but admits she would like sometimes to play breezy comedy as Ma rie Temiest has done. A passionate love or tragedy scene the vaudeville star still regards with timidity. "I have an awful sense of humor," says Miss Janls. "You see, I never could go down to deep, daik depths of despair, Something always strikes me funny be fore I get quite down and the serious situation is spoiled. People like me In the parts I play, so why shouldn't I go ahead and give them what I want! The vaudeville managers have signed me up for Imitations and the producers want ine In musical comedy nnd revues, so I might as well stick to my last. Light farce without muslo would, I believe, also be consistent with what talents I may possess. "By the way, you knotv I'm deeply Iu- tere.terl In tlila w., n,l, nn.l Lai- 1,n recruiting and collecting money and allijl inai nnrr nf thin- hit.. ....... ... tt, mihv.. to be warlike, too, and I honestly think that I hate thought out a real surprise for my presentment of my favorite stars."
