Her Second Love-" and the Import
ant Secret She Reveals for tho Ben.
eft OF Women,
New York World.
Several years ago the American pub
lie were aroused by the entree upon the
stage of little lady who had been pre-
viously but little announced. She was
one of an innumerable number of as
pirants for public favor and had no in
strumentality, aside from her own tai
ents to cause recognition. In spite of
| this fact, however, she quickly achieved
| q warm place in the heart of the public
which she has continued to hold ever
since. When it was announced, there
fore, that Miss Maude Granger 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 circles, but in other branch
es of the community. This was spe-
cially the case AS it was known that Miss
Granger had, for the past year, been in
exceedingly delicate health, and the de-
termination to star in strong emotional
play was the more surprising. One of
the staff of this paper was accordingly
deputized to see the popular
lady and We rify the rumor or announce
it's incorrectness.
Miss Granget's Countenance is famil-
far to nearly every one in the United
States. It is q face once seen never to
be forgotten: Features remarkable in
their outline and contour are surmount-
ed by pair of large and deep eyes in
dicative of the greatest soul power. It
is easy to see where Miss Granger Oh
tains the ability to portray characters of
the most emotional nature. She posses
ses within herself, the elements of feel
ing 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.
It was evident at once that she was in
greatly improved health, which the ex-
preston and color of her countenance
both indicated.

eyes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 10Th fully. From there
60 to San Francisco and then play the
remainder of the season through the
eastern and western states"
"Are you confident your health will
permit such an undertaking.?
A ringing laugh was the first reply to
this question, after which she said:
"Certainly. It is true have been Ill
for the past two years, but now I am
wholly recovered. Few people can have
any idea of the strain a conscientious
actress undergoes in essaying an emo
tional part. It is necessary to put ones
whole soul into the work in order to
rightly portray the character. This ne
&c estates an utter abandonment of ones
personality and an assumption of the
character portrayed. If this is an emo
tional part it is necessary to feel the
same emotions the part 1t is sup
posed to feel; For more than ayear I
actually cried each night in certain pas
ence considered it art. Probably it was,
but those were none the less real tears
and the effect none the less trying up'
on my health"
=. " .3 . do y9e'g, anticipate avoiding this
"NUt in the least. I expect to have
just as great strain as before but with
restored health and knowledge ofhow
to retain it I do not fear"
"You speak of knowledge of how to
retain health WIN YOU please explain
what you mean by that?''
"Yod must be aware that women by
their very natures are subject to troubles
and Affections unknown to the sterner
sex. The name of these troubles is
legion, but in whatever form they may
come they are weaknesses which inter-
fere with every ambition and hope IN
life. I believe thousands of noble Ho-
men are to-day suffering agonies of
which even their best friends and rela-
tives know little or nothing. and when [
sad. Now all this misery arises largely
from an ignorance Of the laws of life or
neglect to carefully observe them. l
speak from the depths of bitter expe-
rience in saying this, and am thankful
know the means of restoration, and
how to remain in perfect health"
please explain more fully"
"Well, have found remedy which
seems specially adapted for this very pur-
pose. 1t is pure and palatable and con-
trolls the health and life as, believe,
nothing else will. It is really invaluable
and if all the women in Ameri. a were to
use it am quite sure most of the suffer-
ings and many deaths might be avoided"
"What is this wonderful remedy?"
.Warner's Safe Cure"
'And you use it!'
Constantly"
"And hence believe you will be able to
60 through the coming season successful
Iy?"
II am quite certain of it,
IA few questions more, Miss Granger.
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?" -,
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 one season and then to Booths
theatre in this city. Next supported
John Mccullough and afterwards star
red in Juliet, Camille Rosalind, etc. Sub
sequently created the part of Cicely
Blaine in the Galley Slave and also star
red in Two Nights in Rome, playing the
part of Antonio. The past year have
been playing in the Planters Wife and
the coming season, as have said, will
be devoted to Her Second Love-"
AS the writer was returning home he
fell into train of musing and wonder
ed if all the women in this land who
are suffering could only know Miss
Changers experience and the remarka-
BILE results achieved by the pure remedy
she used, how much suffering might be
avoided and how much happiness Sc
