Several years ago the American public were
aroused by the entree upon the stage OF a little
lady who had been previously but little an-
nounced. She was one of an iunumerable num-
Der of aspirants for public favor. and had no in
strumentality, aside from her own talents, to
cause recognition. In spite Of this fact. how

the expression and color of her cOuntenance both
indicated.

A Raging laugh was the first reply to this aues-
tion, after which she said:

rev people can nave any idea of tine strain "A
CONSCIENTIOUS actress undergoes in essaying an
emotional part. 1t is necessary 10 nat ones
whole soul into the work in order to rightly Dor
tray the character. This necessItates an utter
abandonment of ones personality and an as
sumption of the character portrayed. II this is

emotions the part ia supposed TO feel. For more
than a year L actually cried each night in certain
passages of "A part | was playing. The audience
