Jflebrasto &ri Wakes a Bit in OptM From a simple little country girl. Miss Minnie Schwartz, of Chadron, Ne braska, has risen to a prominent part in the "Prince of Pilsen." It is almost like a fairy tale,, and something that few Nebraska girls have ever done. Miss Schwartz was born In Chadron and until two or three years ago was content to spend her time riding and hunting about her father's ranch. She did not have much time to think about things that did not pertain to the simple unaffected life about her, and she had no opportunity to even sit in front of the footlights, and be fascinat ed with the music, the lights and the flowers. Her father made business trips to Omaha frequently, and some times took his little girl with him. On one occasion they attended the theatre. 1 was when Alice Neilsen was there in "The Singing Girl." The little girl was charmed and carried the memory of the opera and the tuneful music home with he,r. She resolved that she would learn to sing and thought of a far distant day when she would stand behind the footlights and people would applaud her. Just an tiiey had Miss Neltson. Any way she did not ride any more; she deserted her porjles, guns, and her dogs, and began to study music. Then she Went to Chicago to attend n musical college. Her chance to sing came at last. The "Prince of Pilsen" company was being formed at the Studebnker and she was given a place In the chorus. She has been successful and the nttle girl of the prairies has forgotten her romping days, and is thinking serious ly of a career. In the "Prince of Pilsen" there is a song In which a city is represented by each girl. Miss Schwartz asked to play Chicago. The manager of the company tells of her intense interest In her work and adds: "When the parts were being cast a girl who was raised on "a Nebraska ranch usked to play Chicago. "We gave It to her. and from the first performance she has never stopped building up her conception of the part. The other girls, who are all easterners, were content to sing their stanzas well and to gracefully wear the clothes the management furnished. "But the little Nebraska woman ad ded flrsjt a pair of gloves, then more characteristic shoes. Each night she Improved on the singing and often in troduced original business until' her one stanza became a really artistic conception, which stood out distinctly from the rest. "This girl is typical of all western girls." a- Blade Well, old man, have you made any progress In your married life? Grasse I should say so.
