A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.
Her second Love- and the Import
ant secret She Rev enIA for the
Benefit of women.
( Ne7p York WorId.)


New York World.)
Several years ago the American
public were aroused by the entree upon
the stage of little who had been pre-
viously but little lady announced. She
was one of an innumerable number OF
aspirants for public favor and had no
instrumentality, aside from her own
taleots to cause recognition. In spite
of this fact, however, she quickly
achieved warm place in the heart of
the public which she has continued to
hold ever since. When it was an
nounced therefore, that Miss Maude
Granger would star the coming season
in the play Her Second Love-" writ
ten by Mr.. John A. Stevens, it was
only natural that unusal interest should
be manifested not only in theatrical
circles, but in othes branches of the
community. This was specially the
case, as it was known that Miss Gran
ger had, for the past year, been in
exceedingly delicate health, and the
determination to star in strong emo
tional play was the more surprising
One of the staff of this paper was
accordingly deputized to see the popu-
lar lady and verify the rumor or an
nounce its incorrectness.
Miss Changers countenance is famil-
lar to nearly every one in the United
States. 1t is face once seen never to
be forgotten. Features remarkable IN
their outline and contour are surmount-
ed 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 a 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
contemplate starring tour the coming
season p
eyes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 18th of July. From
there | 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 fist reply
to this question, after which she said.
Certainly, 1t is true | have been
i'll for the past two years, but now / am
wholly recovered. Few people can
have any idea Of the strain conscien-
tious actress undergoes in essaying an
emotional part. 1t is necessary 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 | act
ually cried each night in certain pas
sages ofa part | was playing. The
audience considered it art. Probably
it was, but those were none the Jess
real tears and the effect was none the
less trying upon my health"
"But do you anticipate avoiding this
in the FUTURE?
"Not in the least. ] expect to have
as great strain as before but with
restored health and a knowledge of
how to retain it | do not fear"
"You speak ola 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 trouble
and Affections unknown to the steiner
sex. The name of these TROUBLES is
legion, but in whatever fornQ they may
come they are weaknesses which inter-
fere with every ambition and hope in
life. | believe thousands of noble
women are to-day suffering agonies of
which even their best friends and rela
tives know little or nothing, and when
| reflect upon it confess it makes me
sad. Now all this misery arises largely
from an ignorance. of the laws of life or
a neglect to carefully observe them. |
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
purpose. 1t is pure and palatable and
controls the health and life as, believe
nothing else will. 1t is really invalu-
able 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"
"Warner's Safe Cure"
"And you use t?'
Constantly"
"And hence believe you will be able
to go through the coming season sue
