managers manngen have any number of plans for enhancing the value of George as a vaudeville starl star once they can get him signed up Ono One of them lies in 10 the possibility of inducing his wife Queen ex Elizabeth IlIzabeth to appear on tho the stage with him As an body who knows anything about the presence les of n a beautiful woman on the stage adds tre- tre tremendously to the popularity
