% Her Second Love-" and the Importans
Secret She Reveals for the
Benefit Of Women.
(Ne,c York Vorld.)

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
lnnumerable number of aspirants for pub
lie favor and had no instrumentality, aside
from her own talents, 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, 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 theatrlcal
circles, but in other branches OF the com.
munity. This was specially the case, as IL
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 and verify the rumor or announce its
| incorrectness.
Miss Granger's countenGnce is familiar
to nearly every one in the United States.
| 1t is q face once seen never to be forgotten.
| Features remarkable in their outline and
| contour are surmounted 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 elements
of feeling 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. lt
| was evident at once that she was in greatly
improved health, which the expression and
| color of her countenance both indicated.
sis it true, Miss Granger, that you con-

care 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

| of the strain conscientious actress under-
| goes in essaying an emotional part. lt 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-
| tion of too character portrayed. Ii this is
an emotional part it is necessary to feel the
same emotions the part is supposed to feel.

But do you anticipate avoiding this In
the future?'
