Bur-r-r!! Bessie's Half Frozen,
But She Had Just Gobs of Fun

Orpheum Headliner Thinks Wildwood Glorious; She's in
Love With the City; a nd She's NOT Married
"Bur-r-r! I'm half-frozen, but oh! II
have had such fun." said winsome Bes- '
sie Winn, headliner at the Orpheum,
yesterday.
"You see, the.v asked me to for
mally open the skating season at your
Wildwood Park to-day. I fairly love
to skate, but do you know something?
I actually envied the youngsters out
there as they flew down the hilsl on
their sleds. I used to do It like that
once, too, but not now!"
Like so many transients, Miss Wynn
has'always judged Harrisburg by its
business section only.
"I had no idea your city wasTsuch a
beautiful one," she said. "It cannot
be appreciated unless one moves about.
We motored to the skating pond and 1
noticed such splendid homes all the
way along the River Front. I have
nevpr been here in the winter before.
Things look so different."
ROtarianium is a new idea to the
little singer. This Is the first time she
has ever been identified with it. She
wanted it explained to her, its mean
ing -and aims. She thinks the leasing
of the theater for the entire week by
the organization a clever scheme for
raising money for the Belgians and is
doing her best to draw the crowds and
please them. She spoke of her grand
opera selection from "Madame Butter
fly."
■She's (•ding lo "I'roduce," Too

THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 17/ 1914
Wynn Incorporated Producing Com
pany and we have five little musical
comedies already planned.
" 'Leap year' is the one in which 1
am to star. I would be in It now, hut
the war conditions made it inadvisable
to start this season. The theatrical
world of New York has been seriously
affected by the conditions in Europe
worse than in any other city. Our
other offerings will be Three"Brides'
Little Sister.' 'Pink Pavilion' and 'Auc
tion Pinochle.' all light musical plays
on the order of 'Adele' and 'The Merry
Widow."
Did you notice the accompaniment
to my 'Madame Butterfly' song? Isn't
it wonderful? It is supposed to be
played only by a symphony orchestra
of forty or more pieces, and those few
men under, Mr Yeager do wonders
with it."
"Is there not a Mr. Bessie Wynn?
she was asked.
"Oh, no, indeed! That was only a
'story" about my husband's waiting
every night for mc at the stage door.
I live with my mother in New York.
My three sisters are all married and
each of them has a baby. Indeed, all
my friends (and I have very few
among theatrical people) seem tn have
babies! The nearest I come to it is a
new 'Baby' song I am studvlng."
Bessie's a Trail Hitler
As Miss W.vnn's number does not
require her to be at the theater before
9 o'clock, she decided to soend the
early pari of last evening at the taber
nacle.
"I hit the trail when I wus 12 years
old." she said, "and I have never for
gotten. The effect has lasted."
To-morrow afternoon, if the busy
skuters at Wildwood keep their eyes
open, they may see a certain winsome
little lady in a fur-edged black velvet
top coat cutting the figure 8 iji the
company of—well, a popular bride of
Harrisburg's younger set.

New York. Dec. 17.—A new club is
more romantic to knit for a hero on

Mrs. Stuyvesant Kish. long recognized
as the imperious leader of New York
and Newport's most exclusive society {

common sense and • less sentiment.
Those good people who have been
touched by the stories of conditions

think of our own destitute and starv

of thousands of workers who are idle

With due ceremony yesterday City
Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, super
intendent of parks and public property,
raised the red flag, the emblem that in
dicates that much-wished-for skating is
possible at Wildwood lake, over the
park building, in Market Square.
The flag-raising was nol without its
spectacular effects. Allen Paget, one of
the assistant engineers, gravely salut

assistant superintendent, softly
whistled the "Star-Bpanglcd Banner."
'Twas always thus at red flag raisings.
Manufacturers Object to
City Asphalt Plant at
Cameron and Kittatinny
Nearly a dozen vigorous protests
from individuals and manufacturing
firms whose business places are adja
cent to the proposed new municipal
asphalt repair plant site, at Kittatinny
and Cameron streets have been re
ceived by the City Commissioners.
Among these was a letter from Arthur
D. Bacon, head of the P. Bacon Com
pany and a fibrmer president of Select
Council. It is quite likely that the
commissioners will try to secure other
sites before deciding finally on the
Kittatinny and Cameron streets plot.
