New York World.
Several years ago the American
pubic were aroused by the entree
upen the stage of a little lady who
had been previously but little an
nounced. She WAS one OF an innum-
cradle number of aspirants for public
favor aud had no fundamentally,
aside from her own talents to cause
recognition 10 spite Of this fact,
however, she quickly achieved o warm
place in the heart of the public which
she has continued to hold ever since.
When II was announced, therefore,
that Miss Maud Granger would star
the coming season in the play, Her
Second Love" written by Mr.. John
A. Stevens, it was only natural that
unusual interest should be manifested
not only 10 theatrical circles, but in
other branches OF the community.
This was specially the case, as it was
known that Miss Granger had, for the
past year, been in exceedingly deli.
cate health, and the determination to
star in a strong emotional play was
the more surprising. One of the staff
Of this paper was accordingly depu-
tized to see the popular lady and YER
ify the rumor or announce its incor-
rectness.

States. 1t is q face once seen never to

mounted 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 mas
ture. She possesses within herself the
elements Of feeling without which no
emotion can be conveyed to an audi
snce. The man of news found the
lazy at her home in this city and was
accorded a 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
contemplate starring tour the com
ing season."
Eyes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 10th of July. From
there | go to San Francisco and then
play the remainder of the season
through the Eastern and Western
States"
Are you confident your health will
permit such an undertaking2"
A ringing laugh was the first reply
to this question, after which she
said:
Certainly. 1t is true l have been

am wholly recovered. Few people can
have any idea of the strain a cousci-
entious actress undergoes in essayiDg
an emotional part. 1t is necessary to
put ones whole soul into the work in
order to rightly portray the chars cter.
This necessitates an utter abandon
ment of ones personality and an as
sumption of the character portrayed.
If this is an emotional part it is nee
essary to feel the same emotions the
part is supposed to feel. For more

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

You speak Of knowledge of how
to retain health. Will you please ex.
plain what you mean by that?"
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 in whatever
form they may come they are weak
nesses which interfere with every am
bition and hope in life. l believe
