this young woman Of the nineteenth
century, Sadie Martinez. for che ia not
only charming physically. but is gifted
with q quick wit and a keen dscern-
ment, as well as the faculty of wearing
powder and patches and pillows in her
eleeves.
~ think the people liked The PAS
mort last night" she said yesterday to a
HERALD man, ''snd, indeed. think
they ought to like the play if not the
player, for to my mind it 10 the boat of
modern comedies.
ut YVES written for Mr.. Frohman's
etock company, and then changed bit
by Mr.. Stephenson and Mr.. Yerdlsy,
the authors, for me to star in. We
really had to buy the play twice. do
you SEQ, once from Mr.. Frohman snd
again from the authors whom they nade
the changes, bu. it Is worth it.
"Yee, have played everything from
tragedy, with Lawrence Barrett, to bur
lssque, and 1 really think that real
actora ehould bs sble TO do anything. 1t
Is true thas nowadays actors appear to
be going in for special lines OF work,
but fancy that is but passing habit.
The only way TO understand au art ia to
know it i'll it's details and variety.
why, played QueenAnne with Bar
rett. oh, q long, long time ago, in San
Francisco; how long? Well, IL years
ago, and then | sang Nanon and figured
in Sazette'S Voyage, and took G fling at
every thing, in fact. Have l not. dear 2"
This Was to her husband, Mr.. Figman,
for the fetching Sadie 10 married, and
the chappies will havs no opportunities
for discussing email birdh and big bot's in
her fascinating company. She is not

with her husband. for it wac always
dear, or darling, or something nearer
and desrsr when she spoke TO him, a
manner which Mr.. Figman reciprocatsd
with great amount OF evident pleas

couple honeymooning, were it not for
the fact that with some people the hon

porter al the call came to a coee.
when | wanted q play we advertised
for one, and ws got bushels of them, but
oh, such stuff as thsy were Written evil
IDENTITY by people who did not know
English as che is written, with no idss
OF the technique of the stage, and all OF
the linea stupid. Don't you know that
q good play 10 the raress thing in the
world. and ia moro profitable in returns
than any other line Of literary worn?
Il road play after play and at last
gave it up, and won't to Mr.. Frohman
and got The Passport from English
authors. 1t seems to me that nsws-
paper writers, who arc, psrforce, up to
date and sxperts on hum man nature, and
constantly running acr0sa strong dra~
matte situations in real life, could easily
succeed in producing plays that wonld
make them rich. | understand the
marks. for novels and stcries. and par.
ticularly poetry, is glutted, but there ia
no atsr in the country but who would BIS
only too glad to buy good play at
mighty good price. The trouble ia now
to fad such a production.
