A f OF THE sTAGE.

Several years ago the American pub
lie were aroused by the entree upon the
stage of a little lady who had been pre-
viously but little announced. She was
one of an innumerable number of as
pirants for public favor and had no in
~strumentality, aside from her own tai
ents to cause recognition. In spite of
| this fact, however. she quickly achieved
a warm place in the heart of the public
which she has continued to hold ever
since. When it was announced, there
fore, that Miss Maude Granger would
star the coming season in the play "Her
Second Love-" written by MIR. John A.
Stevens, it was only natural that unusual

A ringing laugh was the first reply to
this question, after which she said:
"Certainly. 1t is true | have been i'll

wholly recovered. Few people can have
any idea OF the strain a conscientious
actress undergoes in essaying an emo
tional part. 1t is necessary to put ones
whole soul into the work in order to
rightly portray the character. This ne
c essitates an utter abandonment of ones
personality and an assumption of the
character portrayed. If this is an emo
