:, Her second Love-" and the Inn port
ant secret She Reveals for
the Benefit OF Women.
New York Worldly
Several years ago the American
public were aroused by the entree
upon the Stage of a little lady who
mad been previously but little an
nounced. She was one of innumer-
able number of aspirants for public
favor and had no fundamentally,
aside from her own talents to cause
recognition. III spite OE this fact,
however, she quickly achieved d
! warm place in the heart of the pub
lie which she has continued 10 hold
ever since. When ii was ANNOUNCE
ed, therefore, that Miss Maude
Granger would star the coming seas-
on in the play Her Second Love"
written by Mr.. John "A. Stephens, it
was only natural that unsual inter-
est should be manifested not only in
theatrical circles, but in other BRAN
ches OF the community. This was
especially the case, us it was known
that Miss Granger had, for the past
year been i'm exceedingly delicate
health, and the determination to
star in strong emotional play
was the more surprising. One of
the staff of this paper was according
ly deputized tOSee the popular lady
and verify the rumor or announce
its incorrectne-s.
Miss Granger'S cOuntenance is IA
miIiar to nearly every one in the
United States. 1t is face once
seen never to be forgotten. Feat
ureS remarkable in their outline and
contour are surinounted 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 ele-
ments of feeling without which no
emotion can be conveyed to an au-
dience. The man ofneWs found the
lady at her home in this city and
was accorded with quiet welcome.
| 1t was evident at once that she was
in greatly improved health, which
the expression and color of her
cOuntenance both indicated.
"Is it true Miss Granger that you
contemplate starring tour the
coming season? 2"
Eyes, indeed. My season begins
i'm Chicago on the 10th of July.
From there / go to San Francisco
and then play the remainder of the
season through the eastern and wes-
tern 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
ill for the past two years, but now l
am wholly recovered. Few people
can have any idea of the strain il
conscientious actress undergOes i'll
essaying an emotional part. 1t is
Necessary to put ones whole soul
into the work to rightly portray the
character. This necessitates an ut.
ter abandonment OF ones person
ality and an assumption of the char
acter portrayed. Ifthis is an emo
tiOnal part it is necessary to feel
the same emotions the part is sup
posed 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
heakh."
"But do you anticipate avoiding
this in the future ~
"NOt in the least. l expect to |
have just as great a strain as before |
but with restored health and a |
knowledge of how to retain it do
not fear"
"YOu speak of a knowledge of
how to retain health viii you
please explain 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
nesse5 which Interfere with every
ambition and hope in life. | believe
of noble women are to-
day suffering agunieaof whichever
friend5and relatives know
little or nothing, and when reflect
upon it / confess il makes nae 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
4 bitter experience in saying this, s
and ! am thankful | know the
means of restoration, and now to re-
IN i'm in perfect health" b
