A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.

.'Her Second Love" and the important
Secret She Reveals for the Benefit of
Women.
Several years ago the American public
were aroused by the entree upon the stage
of little lady who had been previously
but little announced. She was one of an
innumerable number of aspirants for pub
lie favor 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 hearts OF the
public which she has continued to hold
ever since. When it was announced. there
fore, that Miss Maud Granger would star
the coming season in the play Her Second
Love-" written by Mr.. John q Stevens 1t
was only natural that unusual interest
should be manifested not only IN theatri-
cal circles, but in other branches OF the COM
munity. This was specially the case, as it
was known that Miss Granger had, for the
past year, been in exceedingly delicate
health, and the determination to star In
strong emotional play was the more sur
prising. One of the staff of this paper was
accordingly deputized to see the popular
lady anc verify the rumor or announce its
incorrectness.
Miss Granger's countenance is familiar to
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 large
and deep eyes indicative of the greatest soul
power. 1t is easy to see where Miss Gran
ger obtains the ability to portray charac-
tiers of the most emotional nature. She
possesses within herself the elements OF feel
ing without which no emotion can be con-
yeyed to an audience, The man of news
found the lady at her home in this city and
was accorded to a quiet welcome. 1t wa
evident at once that she was in greatly i'm
proved health, which the expression and
color of her countenance both indicated.
ais it true Miss Granger that you con-
template starring tour the coming sea-
SOM"
"Yes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 10th of July. From there l
90 TO San Francisco and then play the re-
mainder of the season through the eastern
and western states"
"Are you confident your health will per-
NIT such an undertaking."
a ringing laugh was the first reply 70 this
question, after which she said:
"Certainly. 1t is true have been Ill for
the past two years, but now j am wholly
recovered. Few people can have any idea
of the strain conscientious actress under
goes in essaying an emotional part. 1t Is
necessary TO put ones whole soul into the
work in order TO rightly portray the charac-
ter. This necessitates an utter abandon
ment OF ones personality and an assump-
ton of the character portrayed. III this is
an emotional part it is necessary to feel the
same emotions the part is supposed TO feel.

"You must be aware that women BY
their very natures are subject TO troubles
and affiictions unknown 10 the sterner sex.
The name OF these troubles Is legion, but in
whatever form they may come they are
weaknesses which interfere with every
ambition and hope In life. i believe that
