But to Anna, the mare which for almost 25 years has appeared at the Metropolitan in Aïda, that scene is serious stuff. In her younger days Anna also acted in Ben Hur and The Sheik.

During the War many a strong girl got a man's job toting letters from door to door. At least one who still functions is Katie E. Philpot, 44, of Williamston, N. C.
