Mile. Rhea Tells How She Came 20
Study NnglIsh.

Study English.
Alter the matinee yesterday Mile. Rbes
held an informal reception In the green
room at the theatre. She met number
OF Savannah's society ladies, and cbatted
pleasantly Tor quite little time. While
she was receiving and entertaining with
in, great many more ladies and young
misses were waiting IN front Of the Hull
street entrance to the stage to see her
come out to the carriage which was IN
waiting.
During the third act last night in ga

don't believe In resting between acts /;
but come In" she said, speaking rapidly,
with her pretty French accentuation.
Aud why do you not believe in rest

because one is stimulated by excite
ment, and If do not have some one with
whom / can talk or something 10 do while
OIL the tension is lOOsened. Changing
costumes is tresome, but even that is
better than being left alone.'
In conversation the slender French
actress is as animated as when flirting
with lover in a play. The little lace
handkerchief that she carries describes
all sorts Of curves and figures through

comes In talking the faster the little bit
Of lace flies.
'There must be special God for
actors" she remarked. 'If a society
lady was, ah,-what do you call it - and she
looked up at her manager, Mr.. Morrissey,
appealingly.
"'Subjected' is the word you want, 1
guess" he replied, coming to her assist
ance.
Yes, il they were subjected to the
drafts Of cold air, the exposure and the
work like all actresses, and in dresses no
warmer than ballroom dresses, they
would die in one season. Somehow,
though, we live through it,"
Mile. prefers comedy to other kinds of
drama, and the boyish part in "a Country
Girl" IS type Of the style OF parts she
likes. She thinks the public Is growing
to like fine comedy better every year, and
that the melo.drama will have TO be laid
on the shelf for a time at least before
many years. A reaction will come after
a time, no doubt, and then the melo-
drama will be hailed again by the public.
She continually drops APPROPRIATIONS all
through her conversation, which makes il
as bright as can we'll be. Having played
In nearly 200 parts, she is not at loss for a
line.
She termed the way that she came to
study English funny" She was PLAYING
the part of an American woman in St.
Petersburg, at the French theatre. Some
one suggested that she should try to give
the words with an English accent. The
success which the dialect part attained
encouraged her TO begin the study of
English in earnest.

are many, are all good, the transformation
