The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-05-07

At a meeting Of prominent photogra-
piers some time ago it was agreed that
the actresses OF this country spend
from 100000 TO s75O,oOo year for photo
graphs. ~An actress who is al all known
must scatter her pictures with a free
hand says a writer In the Chicago
News. They are needed for the news
papers and advertising posters, for the
theatres themselves and for innumer-
able friends and admirers
Lillian Russell, il is said, cannot have
spent less than $4,000 for photographs
since she began her stage career. Hun
dreds of persons she has never met
write her for pictures. 1t Is not vanity
that makes the actress haunt the pho
tographer-it is necessity.
Until few years ago Miss Russell
always responded to requests for pho
tos. but finally determined the cost was
too much and gave her photographer
