HOW TO LOOK
PRETTY ON THE STAGE.

The young woman who is struck with
a determination to reach the other side
Of the curtain and take her stand
among the actresses has, of course,
many things to learn. She doesn't
worry over the simple mater of paint
ing her face-that seems nothing to her
until she becomes initiated into a few
of the mysteries of makeup.
Making-up for the stage is not mere
ly a question of putting on rosy cheeks,
ruby lips and pencilled brows. 1t must
be borne in mind that the footlights
east a glow upon the fee from below,
where lit is usually in shadow, and
therefore the hadows that naturally fall
upon the features, and that we are ac-
custonled to see, are reversed by the
lighting of the stage. This is what
makes makeup difficult and interesting.
Even the handsomeSt faces become
blank and meaningless without make
UP.
Certain lines must be defined and
strengthened certain shadows accent
uated and others %subdued. 1t is a Judy
of how to make full use of the stage
lighting, how to annul it's ISLANDERS n
take advantage of it's fattery. Women
who are commonplace enough in every
day life seem to AVE been touched by
a magic wand and transformed into the
radiant princess of the fairy tales when
they step upon the stage; while others,
who could Outstrip them easily on the
street, drop their marks of beauty d.

the nose with a little rouge, which adds
a warmth of tone to the eye, as well as
increasing its length. Even thin and
bony neeks may be doctored by makeup

making shadowy depressions on either
side, a line of white paint is put where
the adow fall, n the prominent bone
is toned down with a flesh tinting which
acts as shading.
In this way an artificial effect of light
and hadow counteracts the real rise and
depression where lights and shadows
Turk, and an ILLUSION of a plump and even
neck is the happy result.
The most elaborate make-ups often
give the most natural effects. The
extra lady," whose face is loud enough
to makeup for her not having a speak
ing part who apears with a snowy nose,
ominously black eyes and heavy brows,
cheeks gaudier h a ripe tomato, and
a general air of having showered the
whole contents of the makeup box over
herself, does not really spend one-fOurth
of the time or the none upon her face
that an artist does.
A prominent actress whose name is a.
household word is commonly supposed to
scOrn the aid Of makeup in her art, be-
cause her appearance on the stage Is SO
natural, but if she should step out into
open daylight as she leave the stage
wide-eyed wonder would collect a thrOng
of hurTahing uIchinS on her way along
the street.
When you consider what a character
artist has to do to her face six evenings
of the week, and twice a week for
matfnees, it is obvious that acting is not
an art for lazy folks.

ACTRESSES
IN MALEA{T|RE
(By Shirley Eagan.)

The privilege of taking a masculine
PART is not a readily accepted one, if
one can judge by the fact thai such
a part necessitating the up-to date at
tire of man is but seldom introduced
into modern pays. At the pantomime
the principal boy is not hard to find.
It is a part beloved by music hall ar
lists, and is snapped up long before any
other characters are thought of; out then
pantonimes may be as ridiculous as one
chooses to make them, and very little
alility is expected of the girlish prince,
the prettier and more ~effeminate the
better.
But on the comedy stage things are
different. A pantomime boy" as the
sturdy Rosaiind in LAS You Like It."
would be more than ridiculous. The
whole beautiful play would be spoiled.
To perform a mans part on the stage,
n carry it through realistically is one
of the most difficult pieces of acting.
Such parts often border on the ridiculous
the girlish figure, the shrill treble voice,
the affected attitudes would bore one i'm
measurably if the play was given in all
seriousness; and it is for that reason,
10 doubt that the actress is not more
often called upon to try her abilities in

BALLET DANCING
FOR GRACE
(By Mile. Rose Beckett, New York's Fa-
nous Teacher of the Ballet.)

(By Mile. Rose Beckett, New York's Fa-
nous Teacher of the Ballet.)
Physical perfection is a fad nowadays.
Society women will do anything and
go to any extreme Which may lead to
grace and physical development.
They have found that nothing is so
good for stiff joints and awkward man
nerisms as the training under which
every stage dancer must undergo. All the
muscles and tendons are stretched and
loosened, and a general su%ppleness of the
body is attained which is only possible
to children and adults in perfect physi-
cal training. Conventional society dane
ing, drawing room etiquette and the or
binary promenade are all improved by
the ability to give the high kick or do
the split.
1t is said that the popular society dane
es for the coming season are to be Of q
dignified and complicated nature, like
the gavotte and miruet.
To execute these dances successfully
the utmost grace is required. Slow
movements are always the most diff
cult to perform with grace and steady
poise, and they are also the most beauti-
full when we'll done. Practice-long prac-
tice and unremitting-is necessary to ac-
complish this feat.

MANY HAVE TRIED TT.

MtAAN1 t1AN T. TRIED IL.
But there are very few actresses who
have not at some time faced the foot
lights in mans attire. What prepara-
ton and study these parts called for we
are not aware, but that in many cases
the risky undertakings We're carried
through with immense success can be
judsed by the favorable criticisms their
performances received.
The character Of Rosalind, with it's
Charming PRESERVATION of a boy lover, is
always one much sought after, and has
been played by many who would scorn to
accept a masculine role in anything but
a Shakespearean play. Miss Julia Ar
thur was one of the first to successfully
attempt the part, and met with great
success.
But one must not forget that great ac-
tress, Miss Ellen Terry, who as Portia,
adopting the robes of a judge in the
Merchant Of Venice also adopted the
presence and mannerism of the man to
fit the clothes in so powerful a manner
that description is baf1ed. Sharing her
honors in a manly characters is Miss Ada
Rehan, the popular actress, whose
change from the Eighty Viola to the
sturdy page in Twelfth Night" will long
be remembered.
But adame Sarah Bernhardt's Won
derful and daring impersonation Of male
characters has been a performance calcu-
lated to ~discountennce the ridicule gen.
cidIy eApIeSSeu Ol Il woman taxing q
mans part. The full, thrilling tones Of
her voice, the reality of the attitude, and
the tragedy in her voice as the occasion
required, could have not have been more
stirring had the part been placed in the
hands of a man himself.
There are many little girls today who
habitually take small boys parts, but
few come in for great prominence. Of
the many Little Lord Fauntleroy's,''
Miss Annie Hughes was the first, and
a cleverer child has never graced the
STAGE
1t was the only appearance she ever
made as a boy" but one which will be
tenderly remembered by her, not only
as a novel experience. but as a recol-
lection of an early triumph.

During the summer the wise society
girl has wisely worked in classes with
children and ballet dancers. She has exc
cuted the Pas Assemble, PA Sissone''
and "Parenne,' and has practiced at
the bar until her muscles nave ached.
In consequence of this energy and per-
verence, the fashionable woman of 1900
