The Making of an Actress.

A newspaper correspondent addressed
10 number of noted actresses circular
letter asking them questions as follows
lis the successful actress born or made?
Which is the least essential, beauty.
magnetism or hard WORK? Will the
pleasure derived from the art and from
| tame and fortune repay a woman for the
struggling, self sacrifice, loss of home
life, etc, necessary to attain itf''
The last question the correspondent
might have answered for himself if he
had thought moment 1t all depends
On how the woman is built. If she is so
constituted that domestic life is dearer
to her than stage life, she would answer
that nothing could compensate her for
the loss of home. If she likes profess
Bional life better than home life, then
she will evade the question. because she
will not like to run counter to the popu
lar belief that it is not the proper thing
for woman to prefer anything to do
nestle life.
In the estimation of most of the ladies
beauty is the quality least essential to
success, though it is a great help in its
way. Some consider that IL most desir-
able possession to bring stage success is
magnetism" though, like mankind in
general, they are rather hazy in their
idea of what magnetism is. Butneitber
beauty nor magnetism will do anything
like as much in the long run toward the
making of an actress as downright, ear
nest pegging away and hard work. Rhea
says that some actresses are born, others
} are made. She also pens this finely
turned sentence and sentiment: ITO the
true actress her art is creed upon whose
altar all else is unfinchingly sacrificed
Success makes one forget all the strug-
J gle and pain that were suffered in it's
achievement"
. Minnie Madden Fiske says there is
something in the life of an actress which
is youth and health compelling, and that
there are actresses not far from go who
still look like girlish heroines. She be-
: Heves the secret of this perennial youth
to lie in the fact that the actress Is free
from household cares. 1.-THE average
woman in private life yields up youth
upon the altar of domestic duty. The
sacrifice is divine and all unconscious. !"
