Several years ago the American pub
lie were aroused by the entree upon the
stage of little lady who had beer
previously but little announced. Sh,
was one of an iunumerabe number OF
aspirants for public favor and had nc
instrumentality, aside from her own
talents to cause recognition. In spite
of this fact, however, she quickly
achieved warm place in the heart of
the public which she has continued to
hold ever since. When it was announc.
ed, therefore, that Miss Maud Gran.
ger would star the coming season in
the play "Her Second Love- written
by Mr.. John A. Stevens. it was only
natural that unusual interest should be
manifested not only in theatrical cir.
cles, but in other branches of the com
munity. This was specially the case,
as it was known that Miss Granger
had, for the past year, been it exceeding
ly delicate health, and the determine
ton to star in strong emotional play
was the more surprising. One of the
staff of this paper was accordingly de
putized to see the popular lady and yer.
ify the rumor Of announce its Incorrect
ness.
Miss Grangers countenance is fami.
liar TO nearly ever one in the United
States. 1t is face once seen never
to be forgotten. Features remarkable
in their outline and contour are sur
mounted by a 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 ma
ture 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 che was in greatly
improved health, which the expression
and color of her countenance both indi-
Gated.
''ls it true Miss Granger that you
contemplate starring tour the coming
season ?"
"Yes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 10th of July. From
there go to San Francisco and then
play the remainder of the season
through the eastern and western
states
care you confident your health will
permit such an undertaking 2"
"A ringing laugh was the first reply
to this question, after which she said !:
Certainly. 1t Is true l have been
i'll for the past two years, but now
am wholly recovered. Few people
can have any idea of the strain a con
scientious actress undergoes in essaying
an emotional part 1t is necessary to
put ones whole soul into the work in
order to rightly portray the character.
This necessitates an utter abandonment
of ones personality and an assumption
OF the character portrayed If this is
an emotional part it is necessary to
feel the same emotions the part is sup
posed to feel. For more than a wear I
actually cried each night in certain
passages of part was playing. The
audience considered it art. Probably
it was, but those were none the less
real tears and the effect was none the
less trying upon my health"
"But do you anticipate avoiding this
in the fu.ure?'
"Not in the least expect to have
just as great strain as before but
with restored health and knowledge
of how to retain it | do not fear"
'You speak of knowledge of how
to retain health. Will you please ex-
plain what you mean by that ?"
"You must be aware that women by
their very natures are subject to trou
bles and Affections unknown to the
sterner sex. The name Of these trou-
bles is legion, but in whatever form
they may come they are weaknesses
which interfere with every ambition
and hope in life. / believe thousands
of noble women are today suffering
agonies of which even their best friends
or relatives know little or nothing, and
when l reflect upon it l confess it
makes me sad. Now all this misery
arises largely from an ignorance of the
laws of life or a neglect to carefully
observe them. | speak from the
depths of bitter experience in saving
this, and am thankful | know the
means of restoration, and how to re-
main in perfect health"
"Please explain more fully"
"Well, l have found remedy which
seems specially adapted for this very
purpose. 1t is pure and palatable and
controls the health and life as, believe,
nothing else will. 1t is really invalu
able and it all the women in America
were to use it | am quite sure most of
the suffering and many deaths might
be avoided.

"A few questions more, Miss Gran
ger. Will you please give me list of
the parts you have created and the
plays you have taken part in since your
first appearance in public?"

AS the writer was coming home he
fell into train of musing and wonder
ed if all the women in this land who
are suffering could only know Miss
