A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.
"Her Second Love-" and the Important
Secret she Reveals for tho Bsne.
at Of Women.
IMsip YORK IKarlal

Several years ago the American public
were aroused by the entree upon the stage
Of little lady who had been previously
but little annouced. She was enc Of an
lunumerable number OF sspirants for pub
lie iaver and had no fundamentally, aside
from her own talents 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 bold ever
since. When 1t was announced, therefore,
that Miss Maade Granger would star the
coming season in the play "Her Second
Love-" written by Mr.. John A. Stevens, il
was only natural that unusual interest
should be manifested not only in theatrical
circles, but in other branches OF the com
munity. This was s3ec!ally the case, as it
was known that Miss Granger had, fer the
past year, been in exceedingly delicate
health, and the determination to star in a

II is q face once seen never to be forgotten.
Features remarkable in their outline and

and deep eyes indicative Of the greatest
soul power. 1t is easy to see where Miss
Granger ohtnins 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 ut once that she was in greatly
| improved health, which the expression and
color Of her countenance both indicated.
