SUCCESS ON THE STAGE.

Managers Advice to Young Men and
Women-A Jealous Platform.
happened into the Office of Manager \. N.
Palmer a few days ago when this subject was
touched upon. Mr.. Palmer is president OF
the Actors fund and is man of liberal edu-
cation He is known all over this country
and in Europe. he has one Of the best
libraries of dramatic literature in this coan-
try. He has helped hundreds of young men
and women to get on the stage He talked
freely and frankly on the subject. ! asked
him:
What chance does the dramatic profession
offer to young men and women"
''The same chance that the studio affords,
that the pen affords-given equal industry,
patience, taste, talent and fitness for the cali
ing, success is as possible and as probable on
the stage as in any other artistic profession"
he replied.
eff you were asked by young man or wo-
man with a desire to go on the stage for an
opinion, would you advise them to do so, or
to seek professional or commercial lifeF
sAs rule, repeat, / should say, avoid
the stage. What is called talent on the stage
means simply peculiar temperament, which
for lack OF better adjective, we generally
call the 'mimetic' temperament. 1t Is very
doubtful that either Cesar, Napoleon or
Washington would have made as good an
actor as many a man. whose intellect com
pared to theirs would be as drop OF water
to the Atlantic ocean. Without this pecu-
liarity of temperament marked success IS
almost unattainable even by the most intel
lectually refined man or woman, however
enthusiastically equipped. This temperament
is rare-far more rare than are such higher
qualities Of the mind. Where IL is evident
such a temperament exists in q man,
should not deter him from going on the
stage"
How about woman"
THAT is different, and, let me add, a far
more delicate question 70 answer. Granted
that a lady possesses and evinces the poses
sion Of the needed temperament and other
qualities Of a great actress. l should stu
hesitate to take the responsibility Of advising
her TO adopt the life Of the stage"
