TO SUCCEED AS AN ACTRESS.
Helena MOdjeska's Counsel to Young Women Who Seek
Stage Careers.

Copyright, 1883, the S. S. Mcclure Coz
Above the sound Of laughter and the
clink of glasses 1 at once recognized the
violin-like timbre Of Helena Modjeska' s
voice as. in response to my knock at
her drawing room door one morning
last week, the lovely Polish-American
babe me enter
Coming towards me with both hands
outstretched and a smile OF frankest
welcome upon her charming face. fell
an immediate victim to the allurements
Of a personality foreshadowed in the
melodious. sympathetic speech.
Nine. Modjeslla had just arisen from
her breakfast table. Indeed. my en-
trance was a signal for the dispensing
of a merry party. The actress was
gowned in a robe of diaphanous black
material, made ii the prevailing fash
ion, extremely simple and elegant, fit

and there with a garniture of steel and
rhinestones.

Sagacity.
Il discovered that just as today many
women are legally we'll informed, so
in a century which closely resembles
our own III various lines it would not
have been at all strange for a young
woman of Portals calibre to be legally
learned. Gradually l felt the color of
the time in which Portia lived, the at
mosphere of the woman herself, the
noble love which makes her so ador-
able, the charming daintiness and
sweetness of her innocent gayety, when
this Portia woman of 500 years ago had
dominated the nineteenth century.
Helena Modjeska, felt that / caught
her, intellectually. Then it be-
came my delightful task to make her
physically as lovely picture as l pos
sibly could. l do not know how sue
ceeded. but from the very beginning 1
have tried to make my other selves har-
monious. In fact, I believe the key to
my whole existence is my dependence
upon harmony.

discord-not a discord alone in music,
but in anything. If colors were dis
cordant. L hated to look upon them.
wanted everything in our home harmo-
NOUS, and as a tiny little girl, this pc
was looked upon merely as an absurd
idiosyncrasy. AS l grew older, my
mother recognized that this so-called
eccentricity was one I could not con-
quer. She saw in me the temperament
of the artist. In all my work felt there
must be perfect harmony. 4 Portia
must have the soul of a POrtia. She
must have the figure of a POrtia, and
above all she must have the voice of q

speech. the quality of merycy' with the
voice of the Lady Macbeth-and l see
that you smile, but indeed 1 have
heard Juliets with voices so mature and
heavy that they were only suitable for
the old-fashioned tragedienne in her
most blood-curdling defamation
would be out of harmony, and, in
studying this role, l should make an
especial point of having my voice the
right age, the right quality. in fact the
very reflection of the character of the
woman.
Now. if you ask me what are the at
tributes that make a successful actress, /
must tell you that / am altogether ignor-
ant, and also ! am unable to reconcile
myself to the popular test of success,
which represents dollars and cents alone.
Success appears also to me to depend so
much upon advertising that it can no
longer be said to be the just result of
artistic merit. There are many much
advertised women who deserve all the
success that they have attained. but 1
could name to you others who have, in an
eminent degree. the artistic temperament.

you ask why. l must say candidiy, be-
cause they have not been advertised
Take. for example, Annie Russell.
There is. in my opinion. no woman more
highly endowed as an artist than she. In
her impersonation of Elaine she was ex-
quisite almost beyond belief. Certainly
no other such creation has been seen of

without delay. l had an appointment

Judge Mckenna, knowing that the
Judge was in the confidence of the
President and that he might exercise

ment Of Mr. Estee. Judge McKenna
approved the suggestion to ask the
President to appoint Mr. Estee and we
started to see the President, when we
learned thai the appointments had been
announced

The Senator, whose cries In the
wilderness did not prepare the way for
his followers, was asked If the members
of the delegation had good reason to
believe q week before the bill passed
that annexation would prevail, and in
reply said that it was known to all of
them that the bill would pass. He was
asked further if the Congressman Of
this State had met to consider the ap-
pointment of a California man in the
event of the passage Of the bill, and
admitted that no meeting of the kind
had taken Mace while the bill was
pending. The Senator had intended
after performing the John the Baptist
work to notify his fellow workers in
Congress that the path to the White
House had been blazed and then the
delegates were all to go to the resident
and ask for Mr.. Estee's appointment
as one Of the. commission.

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-07-16

Several weeks ago an article appeared
in the Call with reference to internal
troubles in the Board of Managers of the
Woman's Exchange, pertaining to the
publication of a receipt-book published
by baking powder company, in which
the names and receipt of the leading
members of the board and organization
were used.
1t was charged at the time that Mrs.
Minnie Merry, superintendent of the Ex-
change on Post street, had obtained the
receipts improperly and 1t was suggested
that she had received a large sum of
money from the company for delivering
the goods.
The supposition was that the difficulties
We're at an end, but 1t seems that Mrs.
Merry has only been more or less patient
ly waiting for an answer to her letter
written in the fore part of last month.
asking and demanding an investigation OF
the charges. This demand was ignored
and Mrs. Merry has decided to take the
benefit of stating her side of the case pub
licly.
II have tried hard to avoid any news
paper controversies on this unpleasant
case" said Mrs. Merry. yesterday. but
after the manner In which / have been
treated by the Board of Managers of the
Woman's Exchange, I feel that l must do
justice to myself and state the trouble
from my standpoint and let the public
judge between us.
For eight year I was the superintend-
ent Of the Womans Exchange and per-
formed my duties satisfactorily to the
board. The baking powder company had
all these years been furnishing us with all
the cereals and baking powder used in the
exchange, free of charge.
Some months ago the manager of the
company asked me if 1 could not assist
him in getting some receipts for the COM
pany for publication in cook book. !
mentioned the proposition to several
members Of the board, and they thought
1t was proper, In view of all the kind
nesses the company had extended the eX-
change. Mr.. Ames of the baking powder
company had the letters of request writ
ten. out, and I, as superintendent of the
exchange, signed them. The ladies Of the
exchange answered promptly, and later
proofs were forwarded to me for revision.
They were read over In the office of the
exchange, and some Of the members We're
lions and saw me doing so. What was
my CONSERVATION when that article came
out in the Wave charging me with using
my position to secure the receipts and
then selling them to the baking powder
company. Why, those people had the
audacity and injustice to say that / had
received $4,000 for their work and that 1t
was not fair for me to take all the money
and not divide it with the exchange. The
idea of even insinuating such a base act
on my part after all the hard and earnest
work I have done for the organization.
1t naturally made me angry, anu wrote

Our Delegation Was Taken by
Surprise When the Hawaiian
Commission Was Named.
Senator Perkins Gives the Story of Lament
able Failure-Coolie Labor Problems in
the Annexed Islands Now De-
mand Attention.

California, by reason Of the geo.
graphical and commercial relations ex-
listing between the State and the re-
Gently annexed islands Of the Pacific,
had a right to expect representation on
the Hawaiian commission. Apart
from questions of trade and proximity,
there are labor problems involved in
the acquisition of the islands which
deeply concern the people of the Pacific
Coast. It was accepted, as a matter of
course, that the members Of the Cal
ifornia delegation in Congress would
give earnest thought and effort to pro-
tect the interests of the State in the
proceedings following annexation, but
tc the surprise of the California public
the announcement came by wire from
Washington that the President had ap-
pointed two Commissioners from IL
linois, one from Alabama, two from
Hawaii and none from California.
Senator Morgan Of Alabama, one of
the Commissioners, is a nice enough
gentleman of the old school. He repre-
sents in Congress a fine stretch of
country extending from the Tennessee
River on the north to the Bay of Mo-
bile on the south His constituents are
good people whose only knowledge of
Hawaii consists in knowing that the
Sandwich Islands are on the map of the
world. They are not concerned in a
single material or moral interest af-
fected by the acquisition of the islands
The two Commissioners from Illinois
are we'll known men. Doubtless they
are familiar with every township of the
Illinois prairie from Egypt to Elgir
Park and probably know to a dot
everything of Importance connected
with the construction Of the Chicago
river drainage canal, but the manufac-
turing and pork packing interests of
their constitution cannot be affected BY
annexation problems.
Senator Perkins was asked how 1t hap
pened that no one from the Pacific
Coast was selected to serve on the COM
mission and that two statesmen from
Illinois and one from Alabama were
chosen He told the story of the fail
ure in this style:
