legitimate drama involves the careful study of
the history, manners, customs and peculiari-
ties of the times In which the scene of the
play is laid. Incidental reading and research
become Indispensable. So when the young ac-
tress has adequately prepared herself for a
cred fund of information of an unusual and
interesting sort.
Now for the means.
Suppose poung woman with the prere-
quisites / have suggested is desirous of be-
coming an actress! What is the course that
will, with opportunity and ability, lead her to
success? Hard question:!
First, should SAY, study. study study!
Nothing else will avail; no adventurous aids
of good looks or graceful bearings; nothing
but incessant toll over her part, plucking out
the heart of its mystery
AS we have nothing in this country answer
ing to the Paris Conservatoire, let the be-
ginner, when she has learned the alphabet Of
her art, seek an engagement with company
playing classic plays. No other means of in
struction open to her will be so valuable. She
will learn, then II she is observant and studi-
Gus, the requirements of acting, and wherein
she and others fail to meet these requirements.
I suggest the classic drama because therein she
is likelier to get grounding in the rudiments.
Mr.. Irving says: "If one can play the legiti-
mate one can play anything" and true it is
that in legitimate drama the requirements are
the most eXacting and the methods the most
severe.
But while the young woman is an observant
member Of a professional company, studying
meanwhile and noting by experience the effect
OF one method or another, let her shun she
would the plague, Shun without ceasng, and
If necessary, with fasting and prayer. the dead

woman, as to render 1t a pleasure to
publish. 1t herewith:
You ask if should advise a young girl to
adopt acting as profession
without hesitation L answer yes-provided
her mind hasa bent toward the art, and she
mas ability, ambition, determination and pa
tience.
There is no other profession more honorable,
tnere Is no other art more exalted. The
mediaeval prejudiees against players has
passed away. The young woman sacrifices
neither dignity, position nor self-respect when
she becomes an actress; to appreciative minds
tnere can be no satisfaction so great as at
tempting to portray in actual life the charac-
ters drawn by great dramatists and poets the
art combines something of all the other arts,
and in way transcends them ALL and lastly,
the woman who masters 1t is greater than a
queen.
III any one cares also to consider the prac-
ucai and commonplace aspect of the matter,
mere is this fact for contemplation, that while
success on the stage is won only by incessant
Toll and devotion when 1t is won. even meas
urabiy won. no other profession open to women
AFFORDS equal rewards

iectual, and of necessity involves growth of

story Is unrayeled in the Austrian Tyrol,
picture of love and devotion. The pictur-

story of "Fatherland" is laid affords the
scenic artist splendid opportunities The &C
tion of the story has been enlivened by the
introduction of a troupe of Tyrolean singers
and dancers. Mr.. Gardner will at each per-
