SINGS TO. BOYS OVER THERE Many a Company Has Marched ‘to First Night in Trenches With More Gallant Swing Because Elsle Cheered Them on Way. ~ By ALEXANDER WOOLLCOTT. Paris.—The theater was no theater at all. It was just the great train shed which serves as the workshop and headquarters for a small army of American engineers_who are lending the P. R. R. touch to the astonished landscape of France. Though retreat had sounded an hour or 8o before, it was packed to suffocation with Yanks, for all that day rakish posters, turned out in the company painter's best style, had intrigued the eye with the modest announcement: ELSIE JANIS—AMERICA'S GREAT- EST ACTRESS—FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY. And at last, with warning toots from a distant whistle and a great wave of laughter as the order was passed along to clear the track, a locomotive trun- dled in out of the night, in its cab a palr of proud and grinning engineers, on its cowcatcher Elsie Janis. A mo- ment later and the engine was near enough to the stage for her to clear the space nt a single jump and there she was, with her black velvet tam pushed back on her tossing hair, with her eyes alight and her hands uplifted, her whole volce thrown into the question which Is the beglnnlng and the end of morale, which is the most important question in the army: “Are we downhearted?” ! The Thunderous Response. You can only faintly imagine the thunderous “No” with which the traln shed echoed. And it is the whole point of Elsle Janis—as well as the whole point of all the mummers now being booked to play for the A, B, F.—that whatever the spirit of the boys before, her coming, they really meant that “No"” with all there was in them, that any who might have been just a little downhearted before,. felt betten about it after seelng and hearing her. For, like the rare officer who can inspire his men to very prodigles of valor, so the flashing Elsle 1s compact of that price- less thing which, for lack of a less pedantic phrase, we must call positive magnetism, More than one company has marched off to its first night in the trenches with brighter eyes, squarer shoulders and a more gallant swing be- cause, at the very threshold of safety, this lanky and lovely lady from Co- lumbus, Ohio, waved and sang and cheered them on thelr way. That i{s why, when the hlstory of this great expedition ecomes to be writ- ten, there should be a chspter devot- ed to the play-girl of the western front, the star of the A. E. F,, the forerunner of those players who are now being booked In the greatest circuit of them all, the Y. M. C. A. huts of France. Tor her, and for her like, there is always room. And work aplenty to do. There are troops to be fired—as by martial music—on the edge of the advance. Elsie Janis (and mother) are having the time of thelr lives, and she mennt every word of it when she cabled back to all her brothers and sisters of the stage to come or they would never know what they had missed. * Barn-Storming With Vengeance. For Elsie it has been barn-storming with a vengeance, a tour of tank towns in mre senses than one. It has meant traveling without a maid for once in & way, playing a whole season with a one-dress wardrobe, bivouacking In strange and uninviting hotels. It has meant warhling as a cabaret singer among tables of some officers’ mess or mounting a bench to sing through the windows of come conta- glon barracks where the isolated doughhoys had been tearing their in- fected hair with disappointment be- cause they had heard she was in the post and knew they could not get out to see her. It has meant lingering for an extra performance at some hut because a whole new audlence was coming through the starlit heavens from the aviation camp down the lines. In all her years on the stage she has known no such tumultuous, heart- warming welcomes as arc her nightly portions in the biggest time a booking office can offer to a player in the year 1918, The boys swarm up on the stage and slap her on the back and vow there never was such a girl since the world began. They cheer her until they are hoarse, and she is dizzy with pride. TAKES DAUGHTER TO CAMP Virginia Draftee, Sole Support of Chiid, Carries Her With Him to Cantonment. Camp Lee, Va—-A. W.
