would star the coming season in the play
Her Second Love-" written by Mr.. John
A. Stevens, it was only natural that unusu-

il theatrical circles, but in other branches
of the community. This was specially
the case, as it was known that Miss Grang-
er had, for the past year, been in
exceedingly delicate. health and the determi

was the more surprising. One of the staff
of thisIpaper was accordingly deputized

and contour are surmounted by pair of
large and deep eyes indicative OF the
greatest 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 emo

Are you confident your health will per-

A ringing laugh was the first reply to
this question, after which she said:
Certainly. 1t is true have been i'll for
the past two years, but now l am wholly
recovered. Few people can have any idea
of the strain conscientious actress un-
dergoes in essaying an emotional part. It

You speak of a knowledge of how to
