tiOnized-Her Kiss Still Open to Inn
prOvement.
From the 50. Paul Daily Globe.
The impression that Miss Anderson is cold
in her acting was completely reversed last
night. Mary has got the art of huggng down
to very fine point. Up to within the past
two years she had a mechanical way Of
throwing her arms around her lover, much
as windmill would reach out IN its slow
Whlrl and swoOp up an imprudent OBJ
server who had imprudently gotten within
the reach of its swoop, or as tall trees
In the month of January catch at each
other with their long, gaunt arms as though
tney were pushed to an odiOus duty by some
reslstless obligation. But it is different now.
Mary hugs as naturally as an unsophisticated
country maiden would fold her arms round
the object of her guileless hearts tendere t
love. There is no GracO- Roman style or
arms length feature about it as represented
last night, but warm, ardent, clinging, rib
breaking, shoulder dslocating. never let
loose squeeze that has tendency to make
the shny-headed occupants of the front
parquet rows get up and sit on the backs of
their seats.
When Mary throws her arms open and
closes them around the object of her alteration
1t looks like a white whirlpool of bliss, into
whose vortex any animated object, from an
automatic churn to a ruler Of nations, would
do penance for life time to be drowned for
one snort, sweet, nllssful minute. Her hug is
gratifyingly barren of amateurishness; it is
thing OF life, beauty, grandeur, an admirable
creation that any man would be willing to lose
MS scalp 20 stand in with. And then when
the tapering arms are well around their vic
tim, the fingers are interlOcked and spas
modlc squeezes are apparent that
put wild fancies OF divorce and
fathers. 1t Is astimulant for the aged and
iEfirm; it is a sea of unfathomable bliss that
the mlddle-aged long TO drink to the last drop,
and 1t is thing that fills the hearts Of the
youths with wild and untamed hankerIng.
1t is a cyclone of happiness that any man
would be happy to allow himself to be caught
up by aud mopped all over the ground with.
from Honolulu to Upernavik.
Mary carries kiss around with her which
is so hight and immateTial that she stands in
no danger of having to pay excess of baggage
starr arrangement, that leads every woman
who has loved to wonder what it is. 1t is a
kind of reserved affair, such as every married
woman has, and trots out along the last of
band to blow himself in on seal
skin sacque. 1t is an emergency. A cold,
cherries, clammy compound OF careless
ness ana indifference, thing that man
would prefer to receive on the back of his
head or the bosom of his shirt. 1t ''smacksn
not of ardor and affection. 1t has no soul. II
comes and goes, leaving no trace of its pres
ence, exciting no sympathy, receiving no pity,
IL is farce, without the spirit Of humor and
devoid the tint of pathos. 1t is a sterile waste.
Cold and barren as North sea iceberg, un-
feeling, heartless.
Mary should learn to kiss, and kiss accord
ing to Hoyle. Kiss so that after the deal she
would leave a royal flush on the cheek of the
klssee. If Mary would pay little attention
to kissing she could cultivate an article that
would cause the footlights to pale with envy
and make the stage carpenter pound his ear
on his tool chest with admiration. She is
built right to kiss with stunning
effect. Her lips are full and red; her
neck IS swan-like; she could approach
man from the rear, lean over his shoulder,
look down through his eyes into his boots,
glue her lips to his, draw in her breath com
press her lips for an instant, then suddenly
part them-bif! bang! and everybody would
shut their eyes and yell for somebody to turn
the hose on them. Until Mary goes into
framing to improve the condition OF her kiss
there VIII be something lacking in her acting
that cannot be entirely buried beneath the
multitude of her charming plishments.
