On account of a scarcity of servants she has no difficulty in immediately securing another position, this time as cook. Here again she becomes wrapped up in her play book, neglects her duties and almost causes a conflagration. Once more she is discharged. Next we find her employed as a nurse girl taking the children out for an airing where she meets a policeman to whom she confides her undiscovered talent while the children wander away into a nearby coal yard and slide down the banks of coal until they are black from head to feet. It is only natural to surmise Lizzie's immediate dismissal upon her arrival home with the children. Next we see her in the dressing room of a theater in the capacity of maid to an actress. During the performance the stage manager discovers the absence of a lady cast for a minor part and Lizzie is requested to assume the role. She fairly jumps at the offer and quickly dons the wardrobe given her, receives hastily-given instructions and struts fearlessly and boldly upon the stage. When she faces the dazzling footlights and the audience assembled, she suddenly loses all control and succumbs to a severe fit of stage fright. In her frantic efforts to escape she jumps over the footlights and flees in terror up the center aisle of the theater, to the disgust of the stage manager and the delight of the audience.
