Mrs. John Drew Of the Philadelphia
Arch Street Thcater. speaking Of the
simulated emotion Of actors. lately said
= Undoubtedly an actor could grasp a
situation more readily and represent IL
more effectively il he had once been in
the same position in real life. But how
seldom j. this the case. Some Of the
most inhnman villains ever kncw-on
the stageare pleasant, mild-mannered
men in private A listener reminded
Mrs. Drew Of Manager Bernard Macau-
ley's criticism Of Mary Anderson. that
she "owed her success TO her remarka-
bic beauty and power Of portraying
characters and passions which she really
had no idea Of. and might become Il
great actress after she had been once in
love. Mrs. Drew responded: t" Miss
Anderson's greatest fault is thought by
some members Of her profession to be
want Of concentration. They say that
she j. capable Of turning round i'm the
middle Of an imprisoned scene to make
some frivolous remark TO brother act
or. Mr.. Macauley's argument is good,
but good many examples might be
cited to prove the contrary. Every one
has heard Of Miss O'Neil Forty years
ago, when she was az the pinnacle of
fame and success, she was not only I'M
married. but her habits and tempera-
ment were antagonistic to those natural
to mother. Yet one Of her strong
points was in portraying a mothers ten
der love and devotion. Mrs. Bateman
has achieved great success in roles re-
curing a nice appreciation Of senti-
ments foreign 70 her nature. Many pco-
pie who have suffered all the pangs Of
poverty would be mere sticks il put on
the stage to act the part Of hero or
heroine who was supposed to be suffer-
inc from just such straits. An actor, to
carry his audience with him, must be
capable Of imagining wildly any char
acter he impersonates; actual expert
encc is Of no use to him, but imagina-
ton and self-forgctfulness are indis-
pensable.''

MISS RUTH's EXPERIMENT.

Miss Ruth turned away with her pack
age and walked swiftly down the village
street: a trim, dainty figure in her dark
cloth dress The words rang IN her
ears, : II does beat all To think how the

path led over the Common to square
brick house, flanked BY low wing on
either side and broad piazza which
held promise Of summer cheer. Great
elms and NAPLES were set in lines up to
the mass Of outbuildings- At the back
was an orchard, the gnarled and twisted
apple-trees standing out dark against
the evening sky. Ruth shivered 4 little

placid voice, ard Aunt Mercy Dysart
looked up from her knitting and smiled
at the girl, who drew a low chair to her
side and sat down with only an answer

on her face. one could see that she must
be considerably over 20. There were
grave lines about the mouth, and her
firm chin and broad forehead needed
all the sweetness i'm eye and smile to
contradict the impression Of sternness.
