BENEFIT of Women.
(NetC York World
Several years ago the Americall public
were aroused by the entree upon the stage
of little lady who had been previously
but little announced. She was one of an
innumerable number of aspirants for pub
lie favor and had no iustrumentality, aside
from her own talents, to cause recognition.
In spite of this fact, however, she quickly
achieved a warm place in the heart of the
public which she has continued to hold ever
since. When it was announced, therefore,
that Miss Maude Granger would star the
coming season in the play +" Her Second

soul power. 1t is easy to see where Miss
Granger obtains the ability to portray
characters of the most emotional nature.
She possesses within herself the elements
of feeling without which no emotion can
be conveyed to an audience. The man of
news found the lady at her home in this
city and was accorded quiet welcome. 1t
was evident at once that she was in greatly
improved health, which the expression and
color of her countenance both indicated.
