IURSULA ST. (iKORGK.♦ •* ••J•Sfc ■ - V';9Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,” is a charming little character, but Ursula St. George, the young girl who plays “Rebecca” is even more charming off the stage. When seen by a reporter from the Tennessean ana American Monday afternoon, Miss St. George proved to be a very ‘young, very unsophisticated and a very magnetic girl. She spoke freely of her work and it was interesting to know that, though a leading woman in one ! of the most famous plays of the season, she is only 16 years of age. A plait down her back, a simplicity of expression and a slight timidity of manner showed her to be at once what she is, a fresh young girl, unspoiled by the limelight of popularity.Miss St. George is fortunate enough to have a very tactful mother who travels with her. Mrs. St. George chaperones her daughter on all occasions, taking upon herself much of the responsibility which would otherwise fall upon the little actress' shoulders. She was herself at ^ne time an actress, playing character roles with Maude Adams, and knows the necessity for conserving health and energy. Mrs. St. George was present when her daughter was interviewed and proved a most valuable asset in telling what the Nashville public wants to know about the famous “Rebecca.“Though very young, your daughter has been on the stage for many years, has she not?” was the query asked by the reporter. JVery New Star.“Ng/* Mrs. St. George replied, has been on the stage only a year and a half. It has been erroneously reported that she has been on the stage ten years. You see,” the mother continued, the child is only 16 years old. The statement that she was 18 wasalso unfounded. She is an actressnot only through the inheritance shehas received from me, but also through her father. He is a sculptor and our daughter, who is our onlychild, comes by her artistic temperament most naturally.”It seems that this southern tour of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” playmarks the initiation of its leading woman into real traveling. Until she She i icft New York for Richmond, Atlan-thejta, Nashville and other southern cities was | Ursula St. George had never been on the a sleeping cur in all her life. She is old!
