0oe second Love-" and the Important
Secret She Revsels fa= The
Benefit Of Women.
(Ne,e York World.)
Several years ago the American public
were aroused by the entres upon tine stage
Of . little lady who had been previously
but little announced. She was ono of an
innumerable number Of sspirants for pub
lie favor and had no fundamentally, aside
from her own talents, 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 1t was announced, therefore,
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 branches of the COM
munity. This was specially the case, as it
was known that Miss Granger had, for the
past year, been in exceedingly delicate
health, and the determination to star in q
strong emotional play was the more sur
prising. One of the staff of this paper was
accordingly deputized to see the popular
lady and verify the rumor or announce its
incorrectness
Miss Granger's countenance is familiar
1t is lace once seen never to be forgotten.
Features remarkable in their outline 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 emotion can
be conveyed to an audience. The man of
news found the lady at her home in this
city and was accorded q quiet welcome. 1t
was evident at once that she was in greatly
improved health, which the expression and
color of her countenance both indicated.
SIS it true, Miss Granger, that you con-
template starring tour the coming sea-
son!'
Yes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 18th of July. From there I
go to San Francisco and then play the re-
mainder of the season through the Eastern
and Western States"
"Are you confident your health will per-
init such an undertakings"
A ringing laugh was the first reply to
this question, after which she said:
Certainly. 1t is true have been ill for
the past two years, but now ! am wholly
recovered. Few people can have any idea
OF the strain a conscientious actress under
goes in essaying an emotional part. 1t is
necessary to put ones whole soul into the
work in order to rightly portray the char
acter. This necessitates an utter abandon
ment of ones personality and an assump-
ton of the character portrayed. If this is
an emotional part it is necessary to feel the
same emotions the part is supposedto feel.
For more than year actually cried each
tight in certain passages of part l 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 irving upon my health.o
"But do you anticipate avoiding this in
the future:'
Not in the least. expect to have just
as great strain as before, but with re-
stored health and knowledge OF how to
retain 1t do not fear"
You speak OF knowledge OF how to
retain health Will you please explain
what you mean by that?
lou must be aware that women by their
very natures are subject TO troubles and
af11ictions unknown to the sterner sex. The
name OIL these troubles is legion; but IN
whatever form they may come they are
weaknesses which interfere with every
