the beneHC OF women.
New York World
Several years ago the American
public were aroused by the entree
upon the stage of a little lady who
had been previously but little an
nounced. She was one of an innu-
merable number of aspirants for pub
lie favor, and had no instrumentality,
aside from her own talents to cause
recognition. In spite of this fact,
however. she quickly achieved ii
warm place in.the heart of the public
which she has continued to hold ever
since. When it 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 nat
ural that unusual interest should be
manifested not only in theatrical cir
Giles, but in other branches of the
community. This was specially the
case, as it was known that Miss
Granger had, for the past yer, been
in exceedingly delicate health, and
the determination to star in strong
emotional play was the more surpris-
ing. One of the staff of this paper
was accordingly deputized to see the
popular lady and verify the rumor
or announce its incOrrectneSs.
Miss Changers countenapce Is IA
miliaF to nearly every one i'll the
United States. 1t is face once seen
never to be forgotten. Features re-
markable in their outline and contour
are surmounted by pair of large
and deep eyes Indicative of the great
est soul power. 1t is easy to see
where Miss Granger obtains the abili-
tY to portray characters If the most
emotional nature. She possesses with
in 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 she was i'll greatly improved
health, which the expression and color
of her countenance both indicated.
Us it true, Miss Granger, that you
contemplate a starring tour the COM
ing season ?"
Yes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago 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:
Certainly. 1t is true L have been
i'll for the past two years, but now l
am wholly recovered. Few people
can have any idea of the STRAIN con-
scientlous actress undergoes in essay
ing 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 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 passages of a
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
trying upon my health"
But do you anticipate avoiding
this in the future?'
mot in the least. l 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 a knowledge of how
to retain health viii you please eX-
plain what you mean by that ?"
"You 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 weak
neSSeS which interfere with every am
bition and hope in life. i believe
thousands of noble women are to-day
suffering agonies of which even their
best friends and relatives know little
or nothing, and when l reflect upon
it confess it makes me sad. Now all
this misery arises largely from an ig-
norance of the laws of life or neg
lect to carefully observe them. [
speak from a depth of bitter expert
ence in saying this, and l am thank
full | know the means of restoration,
and how to remain in perfect health
please explain more fully"
well, l have found a 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 invaluable, and if all the
women in America were to use it am
quite sure most of the suffering and
many deaths might be avoided"
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 sea-
son successfully ?"
al am quite certain of it"
"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 pub
lic?"
Il first played for some time with
the amateurs in New York and Brook
lyn. l then went to the Union Square
theater for two seasons after that to
the Boston Globe for one season, and
then to Booths theater in this city.
Next l supported John Mccullough,
and afterWard starred IN Juliet, Ca
mile, Rosalind, etc. Subsequently, /
created the part of Cicely Blaine in
the Galley Slave and also starred in
Two Nights in Rome, playing the |
part of Antonia. The past year l
have been playing in the Planters
Wife, and the coming season, as l
have said, will be devoted to Her Sec
ond Love-"
As the writer was returning home |
he fell into train of musing and |
wondered if all the women in the |
land. who. are suffering, could only
lAow Miss Changers experience and |
Tie remarkable results achieved by |
the pure remedy she used, how much |
suffering might be avoided, and how
much happiness secured
