'Fritzi Scheff
S Came, Sang and
Captivated
(Continued, from Page one.)
« cting as Number Two in a machine
un squad, Private George Anderson,
erstwhile film favorite and actor, is
facing the German lines and advanc
ing with the rest of our boys on Ber
lin. Already he has been gassed, sent
back the hospital, recovered, and
returned to the trench life of today
where he is fighting in the Peronne
sector. He left for overseas last May
with the 27th Division and the ol<i*
105th Machine Gun Battalion Mears to
day the name of another well known
actor fighting in the ranks.
And Yet More Wonderful.
Put Fritzi will not succumb to the
ancient axiom “Let George Do It.’’
With the eager craving for new ad
ventures and experiences, Miss Scheff
has visited our Machine Gun range
and taken her post behind the Brown
ing Gun. She is the first woman who
has ever fired on the Hancock Range
and royally did she christen it, for she
grouped sixty successive shots within
a four-inch circle. Nothing gunshy
about her, is there! General Edwards
has said she qualified as an export and
before long she will have a. float*
to that effect to show her war-scarred
veteran when he returns* One won
ders what chance the Bocha would
have if George ever acted as number
two on the same gun with Fritzi. No
“fall out one” in that combination!
Fritzi Is Gassed Also.
To cap the climax of her escapades
and adorn the pages of her already
brilliant service record, Miss Scheff
passed through the gas chambers
(tear gas it was); while inside she re
moved the mask to test the full ef
fect of the sensation She is to re
; celve her gas certificate, too, but nev
i er has she cried after anything in her
life as she wept for that wee bit of
paper. It will be a great reunion
•'apros la Guerre" when husband and
wife come together and relate their
adventures of the war, he frosh from
the shell-scarred fields of France and
she the premier woman machine gun
ner of the world. What would you
I give to be there when “Fall In” is
I given and they “Take Post” again on
M the great American stage!
A Glimpse into Her Past.
3 But it is not strange that Fritzi
| Scheff has fallen so naturally and
9 easily into her latest role so new and
| strange to her. Her entire career has
| been one steady climb along the lad-
B dor of success. Her heritage was worth
| living and working for. Her father,
H Dr. Fritz Scheff, died within the last
a few years, but he has left behind a
I memory not soon forgotten. Her rnoth
g er, Anna Jaeger, is perhaps the great
9 genius whence Fritzi derived her own
3 talent. For it is said of her that she
is the greatest Wagnerian soprano, ;
even as Caruso lays just claim to the I
title of greatest Italian tenor. So j
Fritzi may well glory in her birthright. !
It was in the early years of the twen- j
Btieth centur; that the name cf Scheft i
began to obtain recognition here. As .
| far back as 903 the Metropolitan The- j
aer in New York was developing a;
new stage artist and a year or so later j
she emerged in the comic opera “Ba- i
rette.” Here the curtain fell for a i
* time while Miss Fritzi played grand ;
• opera in Covent Garden, London, onl>
I to return a year later in “The Two
Roses.” For thirty-five successive
weeks the footlights on Broadway ■
found Mlle. Scheff alternating between'
the light grand opera and the heavier I
• type of comic opera. Then came her [
great success, written by Victor Her- ’
bert and Henry Blossom —a success i
that grew proportionately in its foui I
years of production “Mlle. Modiste.' i
From 1909 to 1910 she starred in',
“The Prirna Donna,” also by Herbert !
and the next two years found h_r in,
•Mlle. Rosita” and “The Love Wager.”
In 1911 the Casino Theater at New
York played her in an all-star cast
where she held sway till the produc
tion of the “Mikado” in the summer ;
of 1912. The years 1913 and 1914 found i
her in vaudeville and the creation of j
Pretty Mrs. Smith" and in the spring j
of 1915 Fritzi Scheff was a film stai [
in sunny California. That same yeai I
August E. Kleinecke became her di- I
rector and has been with her evei
since. He has writU i for her several
songs that have never been published
- exclusive creations that belong to
Scheff and Scheff alone. At the prea
nt time he is planning and writing a
■ Urania for her to play* in the Liberty
i Theaters, but just what that some
thing is we shall see later; we can
‘ [ prophesy’ only’ that it will be good and
, veil worth seeing.
The Fritzi of Today.
Today, and by today, I mean while
•
TRENCH AND CAMP
th6 war lasts, Miss Scheff is devoting
her time entirely to the soldiers. She
is traveling the complete circuit of th*
United States visiting the canton
ments in turn. Until that labor oi
service is done no thru trical engage
ments can entice her. She is visit
ing al! branches of our army, but es
pecially favors—-have you already
guessed it? the Machine Gun. The
music that she offers is well adapted
to her audience. It embraces a med;
ley or two containing the Slave Song,
the Missouri Waltz, and the Arabian
Maid, a. few charming negro lullabies,
such as Mighty Lake a Rose, Mammy’s
little Pansy and My Coal Black Baby.
Ami then there is always her one great
song the Scheff Sony and universal
favorite—KlSS Me Again.” Strange
and interesting to relate this was r
failure at first and during its early
stages as an offering to the public it
* uld be given one night only to In
taken off as hopeless on the next. Now
it is reported the best known song hi
the States and whenever and wher
ever Fritzi Scheff walks into a, restau
rant today the orchestr < will be heard
to break into the strains of that mu
sic. It is a label to her “Kiss Me
Again” and though Fritzi is not :I
ways near when it appears you will
invariably find it where she goes.
The Indefinable Scheff.
One might just as well ask what has
made Miss Scheff what she is today?
Is it her voice or her acting? It is
the purity of her expression or the lire
of her personality that has brought
her to the plnnacl j of her well-earned
popularity and worth. That would be
dangerous to say. She is hard to de
fine, as delicate to grasp and analyze
as a will-o’-the wisp. Her voice is
purely that of a dramatic soprano and
as such she has trained and cultivated
it. But there was more to her than
mere vocal genius. There was the
power of a. personality that the Metro
politan stage did not care to lose. Fire
and vivacity and an eternal sparkle
have given to her an individuality
that a singer alone could not have
done without, and so it was that Fritzi
was . led into the vast labarynth of
drama, where the flame of her person
ality has bu ned deep. Today ;die ia
perhaps the best known woman in
these United States. When there I."
added to thi the indubitable truth that
she is also one of the best liked and
mots admired prirna donnas this coun
try has ever known, one has paid he>
the highest compliment that mortal
woman could ask. We, who have seen
arid heard her at (’amp Hancock have
nothing but gratitude in our hearts.
We have learned that she is “game, 1
for no woman who was not would even
have mustered herself in so •ompletely.
She will be remembered here among
the boys as “A Regular Fellow,” and
tl ere is no higher tribute whit the
American lad knows how to pay.
Royal entertainer and boon compan
ion is Fritizi! She is a lit<-ral spring of
enthusiasm and rerrns to bubble over with
the sheer joy of just being avjle. And
the spirit of her is infectious for she
reaves behind her a continual trial of hap
piness and sunshine. She flashes like
' the brilliancy of a bright summer day of
i blue and gold and her voice with its vast
range, its clear purity, its ringing g!a<l
; news has come to us like music in the
wilderness. it contains at times a new
I strain, indeed, the strain of lender pathos
I that is born of sorrow. But there is al
ways the note of hope In it and never a
'ring of despair always a picture of 'mil
ling through one's tears. Right gladly
would we go with her “to golden love
i land” if we but could. Since wo cannot
we shall retain the nicture of her as she
I came among us, a sweet confused picture
| of brightest fire and gayest laughter and
I warmest sunshine. Like some re.fresh
■ ing breath from out th*- garden of the
: gods she has come, stayed a short, while
and is gone. But the music that she has
breathed into our hearts will remain and
i remain eternally—to serve us memories
i like almighty wine.

j Hancock Colored Officers
Football Team To Clash
With Haines Saturday
' Warren Park this Saturday will be
I the setting for the climax for the War
Fund drive among colored people. That i
day the colored officers of Gamp Ilan- I
cock will struggle with Baines’ In- '
stitute for f<u. bdl and'
( ! help put the War Fund drive over ;
I which is now in full swing all over the
I country.
I Football followers and athletic fans
• will witness in the officers’ team one
of the strongest aggregations of ne-
I gro players assembled in some time,
as these officers of the 7th Gioup ;
played on some of the leading col- ;
Igc elevens.
The team is led by Lieut. J. Mayo
Williams, Brown University star and
all-Eastern end of 1917. Other stars
famous in the gridiron sport are Lieut.
Dan L. Ferguson, champion distance
runner of Ohio state and Western
Conference charnpu-n distance runner i
in J 915 and 1915. Lieut. Napoeon
Blueitt, of Lane Technical School, of
Chicago, and all-Chicago backfield
man of two years ago is one of the
best all-around athlete and was one
of the participants in the all-around
champoinsbips held in Chicago in
September. Lieut. Thomas of the old
25th infantry was an all-Hawaiian
backfield man in 1916. Lieut, Alexan
der, the giant fullback of the team, was
Hie mainstay of the Harvard freshman
team of 1912.
Lieut. Watt comes from the famous
Tenth Cavalry and boasts of having
played football with Villa in Mexico. I
Woodland is from Delaware State |
College where he made an enviable i
record at center. Lieut. Reed, the |
f peedy little quarterback is from Lin- f
uoln University in Missouri. Lieuts.
Boukling and Hatchett are from How
ard and Hampton respectivelq. Lieuts
Le wis, th ■ champion wrestler of the
group, is from Biddle University in
Carolina. Lieuts. Jones, Points, Du
plesses, Marriott and Gaines are from
Wilberforce University, Ohio, and
wore the mainstays of the champion
ship teams of 1916. 1917 and 1918, of
the institution. These stellar payers
are supported ably by Lieuts. Brough
ton. Williams, Hinton, Dolphin. Lind
.-ay and Ware.
The Haines aggregation is beyond
doubt the best colored team in the
sou-h. as they are fortunate in having
six of List year's players as nucleus
on which to build a strong team. This
school is kpown throughout the south
f>.r its powerful football elevents of
i he past and arc worthy opponents for
the rugged team the colored officers of
Camp Hancock have welded together.
BED TRIANGLE TAKES
OVER POST EXCHANGES
The “V has taken over all the post
exchanges in Prance, Just how much
of an undertaking this is may be real
ized wl.cn it is known that there are
now more than COO such establish
imi nts overseas and in handling the
enormous volume of business passing
through ih. .- p exchanges the Red
Ti -ngle has entered the commercial
field on a larger scale than Woolworth
or any <>f the great chain stores of the
United Slates.
It was at the special reqpest of Gen
i't.i 1 Pershing himself that the Y. M. C.
A. took over the exchanges and now
that things have been well organized
on a firm basis, the American troops
in Planet are able to secure their
' ; lipph inentarj" supplies, such as to
b;o•(.•<), cakes, biscuits and similar ar
ticb at prices .which are consider
ably b Jow the retail prices charged
in America.
The post exchanges are located wher
ever troops are quartered—in the
training camps, rest billets and even
b-.i'ind the front line trenches.
General Pershing, in permitting the
establishment of exchanges close to
the front, said in his general order:
‘ The establishment of these ex
<l o should not be limited to the
more removed ’ from active
op ions, but it is particularly de
rivable that they bq placed as
far to the front as military operations
will permit in order that such com
forts and conveniences as they afford
may reach the soldiers in the more
advanced positions where they are
most neede.”
