A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.
" Her Second Love-" and the Important
Secret S'ie Reveals for the
Benefit of Women.
(Ne,u York World.l

(Neto York World.)
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
innumerable 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 MIR. John A. Stevens, it
was only natural that unusual interest
should be manifested not only in theatrical
circles, but i'll other branches of the COM
munity. This was specially the case, as it
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
acco1 dinghy deputized to see the popular
lady and verify the rumor or announce its
incorrectneSs.
Miss Granger's countenance 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 surmountGd 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 countenance both indicated.
"Is it true, Miss Granger, that you con-
template starring tour the coming sea-
SOM"
Yes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 10th of July. From there /
go 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-
nit 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 the character portrayed. If 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

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 futureE"
as great a strain as before, but with re-
stored health and a knowledge of how to
retain it do not fear"
"You speak of knowledge of how to
retain health.' Will you please explain
what you mean by thatr
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

a neglect to carefully observe them.
speak from the depths of bitter expert
ence in saying this, and I am thankful l
know the means of restoration, and how to
remain in perfect health"
"Please explain more fully"
"Well, l 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~
"Warner's Safe Cure"
"And you use it!"
Constantly"
"And hence believe you will be able to go
through the coming season successfully? p"
I" l am quite certain of it."
ga few questions more, Miss Granger.
Will you please give me list of the parts
you have created and the plays you have
taken part in since your first appearance
in public"
