Several years ago the American pubic

In spite of tx fact, however, she quickly

Miss Changers counteaance is familiar to
nearly every one in the United states. Ills
a face once seen never to be forgotten.
Features remarkable in their outline and
contour ale surmounted by a pair of large
and deep eyes indicative of the greatest soul
power. 1t is easy to see where Miss Changer
obtains the ability to portray characters OF
the most emotional nature. She possesses
within herself the elements of feeling, with
out which no emotion can be conveyed to
an audience. The man of news found the
ladygat her home in this city, and was &C.
corded q quiet welcome. 1t was evident at
once that she was in greatly improved
health, which the expression and color OF her
countenance ~bolhindlcated.

cago on July 16. From tn re l go to San
Francisco, and then play the remainder OF
the season through the Eastern and West
ern States"
"Are you confident your health will per-
NIT such an undertakingF'
Aringing laugh was the first reply to this
question, after which she said:
"Certainly. 1t is true l have been Ill for
the past Two years, but now l am wholly re-
covered. Few people can have n idea OF
the strain a conscientious actress uudergoes
in essaying an emotional part. 1t IS neces-
sary to put ones whole soul into the work
in order to RICH ly portray the character:
This necessitates an utter abandonment OF
one %ersonality and an assumption of the
character portrayed. If this is an emo
tional part it is necessary to feel the same
emotions the part is supposed to feel. For
more than a year 1 actua ly cried each night
in certain passages of a part L was paying.
The audience considered it art. Probably
it was, but those were none the less real
fears aud the effect was the less trying
upon my health"
"But do you anticipate avoiding this in
the future?'
mot in the least. Iexpect to have just
as great a strain as before, but with restored
heath and a knowledge of how to retain it
lido not fear"
"You speak of a knowledge OF howt to re-
tan health VIII you p.ease explain what
you mean by that?
"You must be aware that women by their
very natures a 9 sub ect to troubles and
Affections unknown to the sterner sex. The

"Plea5e explain more fully"
"Well, / have found a remedy which seems
specially adapted for this very purpose. II
is pure and palatable and controls the health
and life as, I believe, nothing else will. It is
really invaluable and if all the women in
America were to use it ! I'M cutie sure most
OF the suffering and many deaths might be
avoided"
"What is this wonderful remedy2"
"Warner's Safe Cure"
"Aud you use it 2"
"Constantly."
"And hence believe you will be able to GO
thu 7gh the coming season successfully"
81 am quite certain of it,"
ga few questions more, Miss Granger.
Will you please give mt a list of the parts
you nave created AMI the plays you have
taken part in since your first appearance in
public ?"
II first played for some time with the
amateurs in New York and Brooklyn. Then
went to the Union Square theatre for two
seasons, after that to the Boston Globe for
this city. Next IsupportedJ ohm Nc 'ullough
and afterwards starred in Juliet, @ mile,
Rosalind, etc. Subsequently I created the
parto Cicely Elaine in the Galley Slave and
also starred in 1.-Two Nightsin Rome playing
the part of Antonio. The past year I have
been playing in the 'Planter's Wife and the
coming season, as Ihave said, will be devoted
to Her Second Love-"
AS the writer was returning home he fell
into a train of musing and wondered il all
the women in this land who are suffering
could only know Miss Changers experience
and the remarkable results achieved by the
pure remedy she usei, how much suffering
might be avoided and how much happiness
secured.
