Excerpt from My Greatest Adventure, Vol. 25It came in a very ordinary way, Just as a tele phone call. I was sitting in my office one Monday afternoon, when my telephone bell rang, and a voice said: Can you be ready to go to France on Saturday? We are sending out a concert party to entertain the soldiers. We have already a quar tette of two ladies and two gentlemen singers, a violinist and a pianist, and we are just short of a well - a comic turn! I We have already had a con jurer, a ventriloquist, and an elocutionist, and now the boys are wanting a change. One of them has written from France to say: 'try and get hold of Ada Ward and her blackboard, and send her along.' Within half an hour of receiving that telephone message, I was being interviewed by Miss Lena Ashwell, a brilliant English actress, who is the very soul of this great work of entertaining our troops on active service. My only previous acquaintance with her had been as a distant admirer on this side the footlights. It was good to meet her face to face and to find her a gracious, charming and loving woman, as well as a clever actress.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
