Several years ago the American public
we're aroused by the entree upon the sage

Miss Changers counte2ancs is familiar to
nearly every one in the United States. 1t is
q face once seen never to be forgotten.
Features remarkable in their outline and
contour are surmounted by a pair of urge
and deep eyes indicative of the greatest so4l
power. It 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, with
out which no emotion can be conveyed to
an audience. The man of news found the
lady at her home in this city, and was ac-
corded a quiet welcome. 1t was evident at
once that she was in greatly improved
health, which the expression and color OF her
countenance both indicated.

question, after which she said:

the strain a conscientious actress undergoes
in essaying an emotional part. 1t is neces-
sary 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 emo
