first moment by any manner of means, but
they were not assigned to the hopeless OBJ
scurity of starting in as old women and
being compelled to stick TO that line for
the rest of their lives Yet that is the fate
of the young woman who has talent with
out beauty Beauty with no talent may
never enable young woman to become
great, but it is enough to make her lines
lie in very pleasant places and will keep
her from falling into the mere routine and
slavery of theatrical life so long as her
beauty lasts.
I'm the matter of the first steps, beauty
gives an actress an immense advantage.
The pretty girl of good figure gets hear
ing where the plain one would never be
listened to for a moment. With this TO
pTepossess the manager their way is cas-
ier. That does not come from any Inn
preston the applicant may make on him
personally, but because he knows that the
public would rather see a pretty woman
than an ugly one on the stage. And in
the long run there is not likely to be any
very great difference i'm the talents of the
two. The pretty one will be able to learn
enough after a while to supplement her
natural charms with sufficient skill to car
ny her through successfully. on the other
hand, the ugly woman will have to become
really great to overcome the disadvantages
oil her appearance. She will probably act
better than the pretty one does during
her whole life. But it is extremely un-
likely that she will ever become great and
raise herself immeasuraO oily over the heads
of the pretty women around her. Clara
Morris did that when there was a rivalry
between her and Fanny Davenport. Yet
there are persons who consider that Clara
Morris with all her crudeness and affec-
tation, was really one of the great dra-
matte geniuses Of her time. Nobody ever
accused MISS Davenport of possessing tai
ents of such an order.
But with her, respectable attainments as
an actress and her great beauty as a wo-
man she made a place for herself on the
American stage that is as credtable as
anybodys To realize how the ugly wo-
men have to struggle you need only try
to think of a few that are prominent on
the stage. There are practically none in
the best positions. 1t was always, |
think. like that Charlotte Cushman
was a genius and ugly. But her talents
made her looks unimportant Sarah Bern
hardt, for downright ugliness, can some
times outdo anybody before the public.
Yvette Guilbert is not blessed with any
great pulchritude. Nor Is Rejane for that
matter But the looks of these women
made no difference in the feeling of the
public for them. They are geniuses who
have gone up to the nights. But the ugly
leading lady, the ugly comic opera singer
or the ugly actress Of moderately high
position-where in the world are you going
to find them? tell you 1t Is only the ugly
genius that survives. The ugly medlocrity
soon slips out Of view. The beauty or the
fairly pretty woman with the mediocre
talents manages TO keep her place before
the public. She responds 10 the universal
yearning for beauty Genius makes IL
appeal to some: all love beauty

25, but her figure looks several years older,
and she's plain, very plain. It's a hard
struggle for them at the beginning when
they're like that. Sometimes 1t is hard
for them straight through TO the end
The other man remembered that the
girls face was round, and that beyond its
intelligence there was very little to it
that was attractive save her clear skin,
abundant brown hair and dark gray eyes
all of them merits that really counted
for little in any appearance she might
make on the stage.
ITS a dreadful thing the way some of
these homeiy girls take TO the stage" the
manager went on. Most of them do it
because they feel that they can act, and
for that matter the majority of them can,
But they are not so much better off than
their associates as to make up for their
lack of physical attractiveness. l offered
that girl an engagement, but / had very
little idea that she would accept it, anx-
ious as she is to get along. 1t was the
part of an old woman. 1t is NOT a very

career by appearing in old women's paris
