as a star, for, like the best type of the
American girl she represents, she will
not be content until She has reached the
top.
Miss Buckley expressed herself as being
delighted with ST. Paul and grateful to
its people for the cordial reception they
have given her and her company.
PLAYERS MUST WORK HARD.
Mary White Hail. although not q
member of the Criterion Stock company,
has for short while Joined St, Paul's
summer colony of players. Last winter
Miss Hail was understudy for Mary Man
nering in Janice Meredith" While her
plans are not full matured for thds sea-
son, it is understood that She will create
part in a new play to be produced next
fall in New York Miss Hall was in
cined to treat the insanity idea more
seriously than either Miss Buckley or Mr.

ii think it all depends upon the tenn
permanent Of the player" she said in re-
spouse to the G l o e's inquiry Some
players lose themselves so completely in
their parts that the real world in time
becomes dim and shadowy. Then, when
the work is hard the stage manager ex-
acting, the change of role frequent it
requires a remarkably strong constItu-
ton to stand the strain. A player works
much harder than most people realize.
Let me give an instance. Last week I
was summoned to Chicago, saw a man
ager, who gave me two scenes and told
me to report to him in two days with
both scenes learned. One scene was
very emotional; the other was very
bright and delicate comedy; both were
long. Those two days studied constantly
for I knew much depended on the manner
in which I presented the parts I was
not able to leave the house for needed
exercise. AS a consequence. I was utterly
worn out, and know that very often
when people spoke to me 1 had not the
slightest idea what they were saying
1 can give you another instance of hard
work on the part of a player. When
was in New York this winter I had the
good fortune to be present not only at
every one Of Bernhardt's performances
but at the rehearsals as we'll remem-
Der one Sunday night particularly. She
had rehearsed her company until mid
night and was still not satisfied with
the work The play, which was Ham
let by the way, was to be given Mon
day night, but finally she dismissed her
company, saying that the play was not
ready, and would not be put on until
Tuesday night. Then she herself stayed
there rehearsing her part until o'clock
in the morning. Now, Bernhard is a
as well, yet she thought it necessary to
work like that"
Miss Hall confessed she preferred emo
tional roles to any other. 'I think the
fascination Of the stage, for women at
least, lies in the fact that they can give
vent to their emotional nature. If a
woman is q thorough actress. In the
course of her career she runs the whole
gamut in the scale Of human emotions
For those who are not content with a
conventional life it Is safety valve
They can live the emotional life on the
stage, the conventional one when the
curtain Is rung down.
Although New York claims most of
Miss Halls time, Just now she is a Min
part Of her life in Minneapolis and St
Paul. She is a cousin of the Hollands,
whose excellent work on the stage is
known to st. Paul audiences Miss Hall
will probably leave for New York next
week, but she VII return to st. Paul
