Several years ago the American pub
lie were aroused by the entree upon the
stage of 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 tue heart of the public
which she has continued to hold ever
since. When it was announced, there.
fore, that Miss Mande 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 ehoul q be manifested not only
in theatrical circles, but in other branch
es of the community. This was spe-
cially the case as it was known that Miss
Granger had, for the past year, been in
exceedingly delicate health, and the de-
termination to star in a strong emotional
play was the more surprising. One of
the staff OF this paper WAS accordingly
deputized to see the popular
lady and We rify the rumor or announce

be forgotten. Features remarkable in
their outline and contour are surmount-
ed by pair Of large and deep eyes in
dicative of tie greatest soul power. 1t
is easy to see where Miss Granger OBJ

the most emotional nature. She posses

Ing 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 quiet welcome.
1t was evident at once that she was in
greatly improved health, which the ex-
preston and color of her cOuntenance
both indicated.

"Are you confident your health will
permit such an undertakings"
A ringing laugh was the first reply to
this question, after which she said:
"Certainly. 1t is true l 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 undergoes in essayiny an emu
tional part. 1t is necessary to put ones
whole soul into the work in order to
rightly portray the character. This ne

personality and an assumption of the
character portrayed. If this is an emo

"YOu speak of a knowledge of how to

what you mean by that"
You must be aware that women by

"Well, have found remedy which

and if all the women in Ameri,a were to

"A few questions more, Miss Granger.
