A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.
Her Second Love-" and the Important
Secret She Reveals for the
BENEFIT of Women
Me1c York World. J

fNeto York World.)
Several years ago the American publ
were aroused by the entree upon the stag
of little lady who had been previousl,
but little announced. She was one of al
innumerable number of aspirants for pub
lie favor and had no instrumentality, asid,
| from her own talents, to cause recognition
In spite of this fact, however, she quickly
achieved warm place in the heart of the
/ public which she has continued to hold eve,
since: when 1T was announced, therefore
| that Miss Maude Granger would sta1. the
| coming season in the play 'sHer Second
Love-" writtgA by Mr.. John A. Stevens, il
was only natural that unusual interest
should be manifested not only in theatrical
| circles, but in other branches of the com.
munlty This was specially the case, as II
was known that Miss Granger had, for the
past year, been in exceedingly delicate
health, and the determination to star in q
strong emotional play was the more sur
| prlslng. One of the staff of this paper was
| accordingly deputized to see the popular
lady and verify the runor or announce its
| incorrectness.
Miss Granger's countenance is familiar
to nearly every one in the United States,
1t is lace 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 1t
was evident at once that she was in greatly
improved health, which the expression and
color OF her countenauce both indicated.
Is it true, Miss Granger, that YOU con-
template a starring tour the coming sea-
sonw
Yes, indeed. Ny season begins in
Chicago on the 10Th of July. From there I
20 to San Francisco and then play the re-
mainder of the season through the Eastern
and Western States.n
. Are you confident your health will per-
init such an undertakings"
A ringing laugh was the first reply to
this question, after which she said:
"Certalnly. 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 toe character portrayed. II this is
an emotional part it is necessary to feel the
same emotions the part is supposed to feel.
For more than year 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. expect to have just
a OF in hat l,,&x 4
stored health and knowledge of how to
retain it do not fear"
1ou speak of a knowledge of how to
retain health VIII you please explain
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
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
q neglect to carefully observe them. I
speak from the depths of bitter expert /
ence In saying this, and / am thankful I |
know the means of restoration, and how to |
remain in perfect health
Please explain more fully.o
Well, I have found remedy which |
seems specially adapted for this very pur-
pose. 1t is pure and palatable and controls t
The health and life as, believe, nothing
Else will. 1t is really invaluable and if all
he women in America were to use it am
quite sure most of the suffering and many
ieaths might be avoided"
What is this wonderful remedyw
Warmers Safe Cure.n
And you use it,"
Constantly"
And hence believe you will be able to 90
through the coming season successfullyW
am quite certain of it,

AS the writer was returning home he fell
Ito train of musing and wondered if all
le women in this land who are suffering
ould only know Miss Granger's expert
