professional agei"
Gas early a. 8 years Of age. Iremem-
Der a girl Of this age who committed eight
verses to memory and recited them at .
Sunday school entertainment. She did
not break down once, and her pronuncta-
ton was correct throughout. At a fairy
play in a hallgof this city, at which q school
took part, there wa q girl Of 8 years who
the stage business well. She also sang in
an operetta."
"What is the best age for teaching chill
dren to actm
"For girls, 2 or 8 years. The brain at
that time begins really to develop and is
most susceptible. Boys must be 10 years
old before they car do anything cute or
smart on the stage. That is my actual
experience, and I've taught ct least 1900
children for stage appearances. My idea
is that a child's soul is as mature 40 q
grown PERSONS. The penetrating gaze Of
children seems to me to show this"
"What parts are children best ini"
"Pathetic and singing parts. Comedy
In children is very rare. In fancy pieces,
those written especially for children, the
boys do as we'll as girls, but the girls learn
their parts and seem to understand what
is wanted Of them much more quickly
than boys. They do not forget, while the
boys do. The boys will leave out lines.
The parts must be fairly thumped into
them. I recall N remarkable piece Of
work by a girl of 8 years that will show
you how apt they are. The play was
''The Tempest" and a number Of chill
dren were to act it for some charitable in
stitutlon. The girl who was to take the
part of Ariel was Is years old. At noon
on the day tho play was to be given she
met with an accident that rendered her
appearance impossible. Our only hope
was a child 8 years old, who we knew was
bright enough to read the part. We saw
her that afternoon and asked her to read
the part. She had been on the stage be-
fore in private theatricals, and had done
very well. She refused to read, but said
she would learn the part. There were 200
lines and seven or eight entrances. She
began at 8 o'clock, and by the time the
curtain was rung up had committed the
part completely to memory. Why, on the
stage she recited it as readily Is il it had
been on everyday occurrence with her.
She was the child Of poor parents. I have
seen great big girls Of IA or Is cry and
