DISADVANTAGES or nEArrY.
Actresses Are Required To Have ORA
mntic Art in Proportion to Their
Good Looks.

From the New York Mali ana EXPRESS.
1t has often been maintained, even by
authorities competent to advance an opin-
lon, that the finest equipment for insur-
ing success as an actress is TO be the
possessor of remarkable beauty. Again
and again the falrest in the dramatic pro-
fession are met with the unthinklng re-
mark, mo wonder You succeed, you are
so beautiful" The matter has never been
more tersely put-condensed into nut
she'll so to speak-thah in remarkable
truism uttered recently by Miss Maxine
Elliott. In the early days Of MISS Elliotts
career. when she was struggling for recog-
milton at the hands OF the discerning
critics, a friend attempted TO give encour-
agement by remaGking that she was
bound to succeed because of her beauty.
NO; on the contrary. my physique at
present is a drawback" came the reply.
If l succeed it Will be in spite of my
beauty not because of it"
In this pithy sentence Miss Elliott en-
bodied the result of long period Of anx.
ious observation and experiment. Sne
recognized the fundamental truth that
Il woman has a reputation for any re-
markable characteristic curiosity is arous-
ed on the part of the public. More is eX-
pected of her than If she were absolutely
unheralded and unknown. ms character
isic, if it happens to be one of physique,
is likely to absorb the Whole attention.
Her features are analysed, dwelt upon,
compared. and at times adversely criu-
cized. The public gaze is focused so to
speak, on what are almost non-essentials,
and any true artistic touches are either
likely to be passed by entirely unnoticed
or at the best grudgingly recognized.
Perfection of form and feature is GER
tainly a very delightful adjunct for an
actress to possess. but it is by no means
essential. What is essential is chat deli
cate Elasticity of muscle and nobility of

workings of the mind. The face mny not

but it must work in full unison and ac-
cord. In the case of crude perform

her disposal and the meager effect pro-
duced that a critic, instead of experience
ing mere indifference at the failure, is
likely to have such shock at the lack
OF proportion and adjustment that a
strong feeling of annoyance inevitably re-
suits. When, of course, success finally
comes, and there is a combination as IN
Miss Maxine Elliott's case, of true artistic
conception and a remarkable physique to
portray that conception, the public feel

HOTEL MAN ARRESTED.
+. II. Murthn, Proprietor of Marshall
House CHARGED with Forgery

House, Charged With Forgery.
F. p. Murtha. proprietor of the Mar
shall House under the latest OF It's many
changes of ownership and management.
was arrested by officer Nose Lilienthal
at O'Clock last night on warrant
charging him with forgery.
The warrant for the arrest of Murtha
was sworn out before Magistrate NJ.
Naughtin by Mrs. A. r. MaIette who
preceded him in the management of the
Marshall. 1t charged him with forging
dorser upon note for $3.50. signed by
Murtha and made payable to the order
of Mrs. Mallette.
The note was given thirty days ago and
was due and payable at the Chatham
Bank on yesterday. Murtha did not
come across with the money at the
time appointed, nor did the ostensble In
dorser in his stead and the note went to
protest Because Mrs Mallette protested
loudly and vigorously. at her failure to
receive the money occurred the various
incidents that eliminated in Murtha's ar
rest.
When she new proprietor OF the Mar
shall House assumed charge of the build
Ing and direction of the destinies OF the
hosiery, he sub-released II from Mrs
Mallette, The note was given in advance
payment for the rent, 1t had been made
condition OF the contract between the
new proprietor and the old that the note
given the latter by the former should bear
the Endorsement of some business man of
standing. and when II was brought to her
with the Endorsement of Mr. Boley. she
received 1t with a glad thankfulness. She
had no idea. then, that 1t was nothing
less than as good as gold
what the trouble about the Endorsement
Is could not be ascertained definitely last
night. The contentious of the parties,
however, are exactly opposites of each
other, Mrs. Mallette saying that the indorse~
ment is a forgery, pure and simple and
Murtha that the whole thing is a mis-
take; that it is all misunderstanding,
and that the entire matter can and viii
be cleared up as soon as he is permit
ted reasonable opportunity to state his
side of the case. Mr.. w II. Boyd, who
represents Murtha said last night that
his client had assured him that 1t was a
misunderstanding, and that there would
be rift in the clouds as soon as there
was a opening in the prison walls.
For, unfortunately. Murtha is i'm Jail.
Magistrate Naughtin required him either
to give bond in the sum of 81, 900 or ac-
oept the hospitality of the county. AS
the magistrate was unkind enough to in
sst that he must see the surety on the
bond sign il, Murtha felt constrained to
reject this offer and accept the a.terna-
tive.
II was stated last night that an effort
was in progress to compromise the differ
ences between the parties, the basis or
compromise being the receipt by Mrs.
Malette of the $3.50 due her as rent
off Will h. Ira,N

cess, and followed by the release of Muir
tina from custody. ana the dismissal of
the warrant against him.
on the warrant Mr. Boley does not ap-
pear. and he is taking no part in the
prosecution. Mrs. Mallette is the one
who is pushing the case against Murtha.
