self every man must make with due al
lowance for his own peculiarities. Take
plenty Of time at meals. Do not walk
right after meal Rest we'll before the
noon and evening meals. Drink all you
desire Of good water daring the tramp,
but sparingly at meals or just before
eating Good digestion is as important
to good walking as it is necessary for
good work Of any kind. As to foods, a
man has to take on his tramp what is
set before him. It will generally be
nourishing enough if he will be careful
b eat 10 when not tired and to eat it
slowly. At the end of each day take
sponge or towel bath or dry rub down.
At least wash yor- feet and change

Good and bad Points of Long Runs From
the Actors Standpoint.

Good and bad Points OF Long Runs Ryom
the Actors Standpoint.
Long runs. like most things. have
their good as well rs their bad points.
Good. because constant repetition 60
identifies one with the character impcr-
sonated that 1t becomes second nature to
feel and act II. Iteration may In the
end make one mechanical. bat at least
Il insures certain technique, which,
when inspiration fails, rescues the work
from crudity. Joseph jefferson once
told me that in ''The Rivals he had
always gained an effect by pulling OF
the fingers Of his gloves separately ard
deliberately to aooentuate certain words.
but that under inspiration he would
throw technique to the winds and have
the glove off with one jerk. Who that
has ever seen his Bob can forget those
brilliant green gloves and the fun he
got out of theml
On the other hand, the evil effects Of
long runs are irdisputable. Prominent
among them is general mental weari-
ness which often causes one to forget
che most familiar lines and to turn
blankly to the prompter's box or to
some friendly actor for the words This
happened to me several times, notably
In 1.-THE Winters Tale in London.
where. after playing 1t 100 nights. l had
to be prompted in several Of Hermio,,e's
great speeches Edwin Booth. during
the long run Of Hamlet at his own
theater, frequently called fer the lines.
An actor who was in his company told
me that Booth turned to him one night,
and with look Of CONSERVATION aaked
what he was to say next His mind for
the moment had become q biaak The
actor gave him the word Booth began
the speech, faltered again. was prompt
ed second time, but finding 1t impos-
6ble to continue called out In q loud
voice, Ring down the curtain. /"
