Secret She Reveals for the
Benefit of Women.
fNr3r York JFOrld.)

(Ncac York World.
Several years ago the American public
were aroused by the entree upon tine 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 iustrumentality, aside
from her own talents, to cause recognition.
In spite of this fact, however, she quickly
achieved a warm place III the hears OF the
public which she has continued to hold ever
Since When it was announced, therefore,
that Miss Maude Granger would star the
coming season in the play " Her Second
Love-" written by Mr.. John A. Stevens, 1t
was only natural that unusual interest,"
should be manifested not only in theatrical
circles but in other branches of the COM
munitv. This was specially the case, as it
was known that Miss Granger had, for the
mast wear, 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 and verify the rumor OF ahhouhce IT'S
incorrectnesS.
Miss Granger's countenGnce is familiar
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 surmounted by pair OF larSe

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 or
news found the lady at her home in this
CITY and was accorded 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 con-
template starring tour the coming sea-
Son:'
Eyes, indeed. NY season begins in
Chicago on the 10Th of July. From there l
20 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-
init such an undertaking."
A ringing laugh was the first 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 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 char
acter. This neceSSitates an utter abandon
ment of ones personality and an assump-
ton of tpe character portrayed. Ii this is
an emoto onal part it is necessary toJeet the
same emotions the part is supposed to feel.
For more than a year l actually cried each
night in certain passages of part | 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 health"
''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 re-
Sfn hoo md l-r1nr a Ira of hny To
retain it / do not fear.''
"You speak Of a knowledge of how to
retain health VIII you please explain
what you mean by thatW
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 i'll
whatever form they may come they are
weaknesses which interfere with every
ambition and hope in life. | believe thou
sands of noble women are to-day suffering
agonies of which even their best friends
and relatives know little or nothing, and
when | reflect upon it l confess it makes
me sad. Now all this misery arises large
ly from an ignorance of the laws of life or
a neglect to carefully observe them. L
speak from the depths Of a bitter expert
ence in saying this, and I am thankful
know the means of restoration, and how to
remain in perfect health"
"Please explain more fully"
"Well, | have found a remedy which
seems specially adapted for this very pur-
pose. 1t is pure and palatable and controls
the health and life as, | believe, nothing
else WILL 1t is really invaluable 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"'
Warmers Safe Cure"
"And you use it:''
"Constantly.D
through the coming season successfully?o
. am quite certain of it,"
I" few questions more, Miss Granger.
W III you please give me a list of the parts
you have created and the plays you have
taken part in since your first appearance
in publc:"
g first played for some time with the
amateurs in New York and Brooklyn. l
then went to the Union Square theater for
two seasons, after that to the Boston Globe
for one season and then to Booths theater
Cullough and afterwards starred in Juliet,
Camille, Rosalind, etc. Subsequently l
created the part of Cicely Blaine in the
Galley Slave and also starred in Two
Nights in Rome, playing the part of An
tonia. The past year | have been playing
in the Planters Wife and the coming sea-
son, as | have said, will be devoted to Her
Second Love-"
As the writer was returning home he fell
into train of musing and wondered II all
the women in this land who are suffering
could only know Miss Granger's expert
ence and the remarkable results achieved
by the pure remedy she used, how much
suffering might be avoided and how much
happiness secured.
