Several years ago the American puono

In spite of It's fact however, she qmckly

Miss Granger's counte1sncs is familiar 70
nearly every one in the United States. 1t Is
a face once seen never to be forgotten.
Features remarkable in their outline and
contour are surmounted By a pair of llrge
and deep eyes indicative of the greatest soul
power. Il is easy to see where Miss Granger
obtains the ability to portray characters OF
the most o.ional nature. She possesses
within herself the elements of feeling. with
out which no emotion cln be conveyed to
an audience. The man of news found the
lady at her home in this city, and was ac-
corded quiet welcome. 1t was evident at
once that she was In greatly improved
health, which the expression and color fher
countenance both indicated.

Aringing laugh was the first reply to this
question, after which she said:
Certainly. 1t is true l have been Ill for
the past two years, but now am holly re-
covered. Few people can have any idea or
the strain q conscientious actres; undergoes
in essaying an emotional part. 1t Is neceS-
sary to put ones whole soul into the work
in order to righ ly portray the character:
This necessitates an utter abandonment OF
one ersonality and an assumption OF the
character portrayed. If this is an emo
tional part it is necessary to feel the same
emotions the part is supposed to feel. For
more than q year / actua ly cried each night

it was, but those were none the less real
