I AT THE THEATERS Diminutive Star Is Handicapped by Size Only four fegt, nine and onc-lMlf Inches. That Is the height of Miss Edith Thayer, prlma donna of the operetta. "Blossom Time,” now at the Brandels theater. Miss Thayer is even smaller than the little Vien nese star, Mitzi Hajos. It is diffi cult for this actress to find a suitable role. Her size makes It necessary for her to*play boy parts or those of a little girl. Miss Thayer was formerly starred in "Pom Pom,” "Katinka” and "Firefly." Her home is In Bos ton and she studied voice in Paris. She was understudy for Tetrazinni. the opera star, for a number of years. "I have to have my costumes made on long lines to make me look taller, and wear slippers with heels built up,” said Miss Thayer. "The tenors who usually sing opposite me are big and tall. I am denied opportu nity to sing in grand opera Just be cause I am so short. I weigh about 105 pounds.” In the story of Frank Schubert’s life, which is told in "Blossom Time,” the sweetheart of the musician was as small In stature as Miss Thayer. The unusual experience of playing th% first of a play in one theater and then crossing the street to play- ■the second act in another theater was experienced by Miss Thayer in New York city. "Blossom Time” was play ing In two theaters on Broadway at the same time, one production in tho Forty-fourth Street theater and the other in the Shubert theater. At one evening's performance of tha ahowB the entire cast of one exchanged theaters with the other. Between the first and second acts, actresses and actors were seen' -hurrying across Forty-fourth street in their hoop skirts and panteiettesi much to the delight of passersby. The exchange was announced to each audience, said Miss Thayer, and received with hearty applause. The second company of “Blossom Time” is now playing on the Pacific coast. Benny Leonard Comedian as Wejll as Ring Star Meet Benny Leonard, the actor. Now that he's successfully launch ed upon a stage career, Leonard wants to be identified by his ability to make Orpheum theater patrons laugh instead of being known for his prowess with the gloves. To begin with, Leonard has a stage personality. He hasn't the ap pearance of a boxer. No cauliflower ear, the toughened nose, ths harden ed knuckles and the stony jaw. Rather a matinee idol type. Leonard does a hilariously funny boxing travesty with Herman Tim berg, the versatile comedian, but otherwise Leonard has not employed any ring stunts to put him over.

"Proper enunciation is one of the most necessary requisites for a successful stage career,” said the singer in his dressing room, ‘[and yet it is one of the most neglected features of the footlights profes sion. Jn the last two seasons, however, I have observed a fine improvement on the part of vocalists in the matter of singing distinctly. Pndoubtedly the stage direc tion is better, and, too. there is a keener competition among singers for the leading rolea in operettas..
