THE PART OF A LEPER
Ellen Terry Considering This Strange
Role In a Play to Coms, OuI shortly

Hole In a Play to Come Out Shortly.
New York, Jan. I0-Infinite variety is
| one OF the chief charms of Miss Ellen Terry.
An excellent authority says that in her
next great role she viii play the part of a
lcper, which does not sound attractive. but
Miss Terry does gracefully what no other
woman would dare attempt at all.
Now, it is i'd among her feminine friends
that when moved by the spirit her i'm
promptu gymnastics are wonderful and
amusing 10 a degree. Though not n bit Of
an athlete and not at ali up to date in the
matter OF muscle culture, she has retained
always her wonderful flexibility of body
and gracious suppleness of limb. Undoubt-
edly had she never adopted the dramatic
stage she could as easily have CONQUERED
the pubic as dancer, and today she can
lightly as kitten run across the stage
and bound onto a table or chair or bend
her body this way or that easily as a
child of seven.
1t was but a few days ago she went
to call on sister Professional recover

TEL me something about your make

your eyes, too, are OF dusky blackness.

"Oh, yes" she said; ''in Ophe!ia my
eyes are blue" and Mile. Calve explained
how she had frequented studios and watched
artists painting portraits. and from them
had learned to treat the lower lids in such
way as to give her eyes the effect of
being blue. She added that, like the pic
lures of iInprcSsionists, the effect near
at hand was extraordinary.
