Not without reason" said the famous
actress after pause, i advise young
people who wish To 80 on the stage not
10 attempt ii at present. and tell the
young woman that the girl who chn do a
skirt dance stands a much better chance
OF success than young woman whose
mind Is stored with the beauties or
Shakespeare. And IT, in spite OF all my

dancing master and acquire the graces

crime and timber limb counts most
with the public.
And if Young men want to be actors"
Nine. Janauschek continued, her mind
plainly recalling the distinguished men
with whom She has acted, LET them
benefit by the success of the prize
lighters who are now starring throughout
the country. and. instead of studying 10
speak English correctly. let them gain
the knowledge Of upper-cuts and knock
out blows, for the 3ruiser can draw
pugiiist can please better than the
Shakespearian scholar Pugilsts and
eX-conyicts on the stagel Pan,
Then she turned once more TO Miss
Pollard.
"Notoriety." she exclaimed, no mat
ter how UNANIMOUSLY gained is now the
key 10 success. \ woman shocks com
munity by a gross, immoral life, and
forthwith some Spectator thrusts her
forward as an actress. Let her be the
heroine of a divorce suit and she hickers
as o star. And though She may be
ignorant Of all that pertains 10 the ac-
tors art she Is written up az a mouu-
mental genius; her intrigues; her pets,
the diamonds with which she bcdizens
her person, and the crowd pays TO see
her-Wabble about the stage"
But suppose, Madam. that Miss Pol
lard has histrlonic art said Nine.
Janauscheks visitor.
1T is strange that these women Who
invade our profession she answered
with fine scOrn. always come direct
from the witness-boX. Great artists -
modest. But some people think they
can jump on the stage from the kitchen.

Janauschek stopped. overcome by her
own Indignation and lifted up her hands
1T has been stated, Madam, that you
intend 10 make movement against
Miss Pouard-that you were going to en-
list the Professional Woman's Leag 'e

THAT statement puts me Tn an entirely
false light. ! have no opportunity TO IN
