A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.
''Her Second Love-" and the important Secret
She Reveals for the Benefit of Women.

| She Reveals for the Benefit of Women
From the New York World.J -
| Several years ago the American public were
aroused by the entree upon the stage Of q lit
| tie lady who had been previously but little aa-
nOunCed. She was one of an mnumeTable
| number of aspirants for public favor and had
no n8trumentality, aside from her own tall
ents, to cause recognition. In spite Of this
fact, however, she quickly achieved a warm
place III the heart of the public which she has
continued to hold ever since. When 1t was an
nOunced. therefore, that Miss Maude Granger
would star the coming season in th play,
''Her Second Love-" written by Mr.. John A
Stevens, it was only natural that unusual IL
terest should be manifested not only in theat-
rlcal circles, but in other branches Of the
community. This was specially the case, as
it was known that Miss Granger had, for the
past year been IN exceedingly delicate health.
aud the determination to star iii strong emo
tIonal play was the more surprising One of
the staff Of this paper Was accordingly depu-
tlzed to see the popular lady and ve1ify the
rumor or announce its incOrrectness. t...
MISS Changers cOuntenaDce is familiar to
nearly every enc in the United States. It is
face once seen never to be forgotten. Features
remarkable in their outline and contour are
s1rmounted by pair of large and deep eyes
indicative of the greatest soul power &c IS
easy to see where Miss Granger obtains the
ability to portray characters of the most
self the elements Of feeling without which no
emotion can be conveyed to an audience. The
man of news found the ladv 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 c0untenance both indicated.
lis it true Miss Granger, that you contem-
plate a starring tour the coming season?' @
Eyes, indeed. My season begins in Chi
cago on the 10Th of July, From there l. go 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: XXI.
I" Certainly. 1t is true | have been III for the
past two years, but now ] am wholly recovered.
Few people can have any idea of the strain a
conscientious actress undergoes in essaying an
emotional part. It is necessary to put ones
whole soul into the work in order to rightly
portray the character. This necessitates an
utter abandonmet of ones personality and an
assumption of the character portrayed. II this
is an emotional part it is necessary to feel the
same emotions the part is supposed to feel.
For more than year actually cried each
night IN certain passagrs of "a part / was play
ing. The audience considered it art. Prob
ably 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 il the
future?n HS
''Not in the least. L expect to have just as
great Sstrain 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 explain what you mean
by that?"
''You must be aware that women by their
very natures are subject to troubles and Attic
tons unknown to the sterner sex The name
of these troubles is legion, but in whatever
form they may come they are weaknesses which
interfere with every ambition and hope ID lIfe
/ believe thousands of noble women are to-day
suffering agonies of which even their best
friends and relatives know little or nothing,
and when reflect upon it confess it ms kes
me sad. Now all this misery arises largely
from an ignorance of the laws Of life or q
neglect to carefully observe them. l speak
from the depths of bitter experience IN say
ing this, and am thankful / know the means
of restoration, and how to remain in perfect
health"
please explain more fully"
''Wel have found remedy which seems
specially adapted for this very purpose. 1t is
pure and palatable and controls the health and
| life as, l believe, nothing else Will. 1t is
| really invaluable and if all the womeuin Ameri-
ca were to use it / am quite sure most of the
| suffering and many deaths might be avoid
| ed"
''What is this wonderful remedy?"
warmers Safe Cure"
''And you use it?"
Constantly"
''And hence believe you will be able to go
| through the coming season successfully
Il am quite certain of it" -.
ga few questions more, Miss Granger.
| Will you please give me q list of the parts you
have created and the plays you have taken
part in since your first appearance in public p
II first played for SOME time with the anna
! tours in New York and Brooklyn. then went
| to the Union Square Theater for two seasons,
after that tn the Boston Globe for one season
and then to Booths Theater in this city. Next
I supported John Mccullough and afterwards
| starred in Juliet Camille, Rosalind etc. Sub
sequently I created the part of Cicely Blaine in
| the Galley Slave and also starred in Two
| Nights in Rome, playing the part of Antonio.
| The past year I 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 ira in of musing ana wondered if all the
| women in this land who are suffering could
| only know Miss Changers experience and the
| remarkable results achieved by the pure rem
| edy she used, how much suffering might be
avoided and how much happiness secured.
