Miss Skinner is the gifted daughter of Otis Skinner, the well-known and loved stage veteran. From her earliest days she moved stage ward. After attending Bryn Mawr she went abroad to study at the Sorhonne and under Dehelly of the Comedie Francalse and .lacques Capeau of tlie Theatre du V ieux Colomhier. Her professional dehut was made with her father, which was in Ibanez's “Blood and Sword.” With the exj)erlence she gained from the j)rofessional stage she wrote and performed the first of her cliaracter sketches—in the he- ginniiig for her friends, later j)ro- fessionally'. Within a few seasons she was so much in demand that her tours took her to England. Miss Skinner is popular, not only on the stage, hut on tlie radio and as author of “Amusing Commentaries On Daily Life.” Her voice has been a liigh sjiot in quite a few radio pro grams, and her commentaries appear frequently' in The New Yorker and other leading magazines. A collec tion of them published under the titie of “Excuse It Please” has gone into fourteen printings. Her latest book is called “Dithers and Jitters.” On 'I'liursday night Miss Skinner’s program consisted of the following: “Eve of Departure,” “Hotel Porch,” “Home Work” “Lady Explorer,” “Times Square,” and “Being Pre sented.” As an encore Miss Skinner gave a short dramatic poem in Frencli. Her audiences have found that Miss Skinner does not walk alone in her performances. When she speaks the stage about her becomes alive with tlie many characters of her rare imagina tion. She worked without scenery', using only' a drape of some sort and a few articles of costume accessories. But her settings were more real than ))ainted canva.*). Her sketches were jieojiled with silent unseen jiersons. They existed in the pauses, in the way she looked at them or in the man ner thev seemed to touch her.
