MISS SANCHEZ A STAR
Vhen "Alma'' comes to the
Alkrama ou next Tuesday night,
March 11th, it will be with a
strong added feature in the' per
son of Miss Avita Sanchez, whose
rapid rise in the special field
which she has chosen, ; and in
which she is the leading exponent
at present on the American sta&re
has attracted unusual attention.
There are few Binger8 and dan

Spanish' bv birth and is posses
sed of the dark flashing beauty -
.which - -is commonly associated
with the daughters of old Castle.
Hers is a well trained mezzo-no-
prnno voice of wide rvge and
full of color. She wasVducated
in the ' Spanish convent Vof the '
Sacred Heart of PhiladyDhia.
The admixture of blood Ythat ,
flows in her veins, gives hefvthe
racial characteristics and reei
incrs of three of the most temper
amental people in - the world, .
Spanish, French and Irish. Her
father is a. well known Spanish
business. man of-New York City
a linguist who has at his finger ;
tips the dialect of eleven lan
guages, and his daughter not on- ,
ly inherits hi irift for" laneuace.
but has been thoroughly trained
in Spanish French, Italian, Por
tuguese and German.' ' Besides
the. languages, Miss Sanchez ha
also studied the dances of these '
countries and can execute them'
with, all the characteristic grace t
and assurance of a native.

Richard Carle, In whose compa
nies she nlaved . a Spanish girl.

was attending a professional mat
ine performance at - the New

Tokio,'' and with her mother was ,
seated in & stage bok. ..
Mr. Carle saw-her. She was
such a perfect type of what he
wanted for a Bpanisn gin in urn
"Spring Chicken' which he -was
then preparing ( for production,
that he asked to De presenieu

spite of her mother's reluctance.
At the opening in New York
the following spring, the leading v
dancing part, ; which had been
played by Blanche Deyo, one of i
the most graceful dancers who
ever tripped over a stage, was
suddenly. left vacant through
nnp of- those little disagreements
go common in the theatrical pro-
fession. Mr. Carle, witn iour
hours to the rise of the curtain.
asked Miss Sanchez if she knew
Miss Deyo's role and could sing
it. With one orchestra renearsai
he went on and made the indi
vidual hit of the piece. Y -
It was an opportunity or a me
time, but success is usually the
ability to jrrasp an, opportunity,
and this faculty the little danc
