Baker” in flashing letters proclaiming to all the world how important a person that fount favorite is in vaudeville.But behind the scenes in her dressing room Belle Baker, wrapped up in two warm kimonos, despite the warm weather, was shivering with the nervousness and worry, and wus far removed front tht joyous and joy-in-spiring artist who wins the hearts of her audience by her excellent comedy work, her rich voice, and her winningpersonality.“Oh, l*rn always so nervous every Monday,** said Miss Baker, looking atme with great big mournful eyes.But this is Tuesday. Why should you worry? Besides, you’re a hlt; ad-llner and you always make good.Doesn't the electric sign any a©?” . . „ Belle Baker wouldn't be comforted.She is not yet 19 years old— fha* la,her actual age; not her stage age.Her pretty round face is still that of a child, and only the great big, dark eyes show that Belle Baker’s career has not always been an easy one, and that her success has been earned by much work, hard struggle and anxiety, I am going to repeat what Miss Baker told me about her life, because while I hope It will scare some foolish girls from the mad desire for breaking into vaudeville, it will show others, those few who really have the talent,nerve, pt-relstency and who lack vanity enough to learn by their own mistakes.IV..at s?
