Actress, FACE a Canvas.

To me my face is merely a piece OF
canvas. When I get before the mirror
my thought is to get the grotesque effect
that / want, and ! generally have some
sort OF sketch that aids me as basis.
In spite OF what persons usually do. 1

of the play. Even at the last dress re-

going to look like on the first night than

times with mine. because for most OF the
parts that come to me it should turn up.

Miss Robson Tells of the
Wonderful Manner in Which
She DISCUSSES Her Own
od-Looking Features -
The Authority on the lntr.-
caCies of Stage Makeup
Reveals Secrets of Success.
By MAY ROBSON.

N all character work on the stage.
makeup is very important element.
L With many actors il is the most i'm
portant, but this is doubtless because
they do not seem to realize that eccen-
tricity in face, carriage. pose, and cos
tune represent. and possibly are the
products of spiritual eccentricities within.
The half-open, expressionless mouth of
the thick-witted person, and the droop-
ing eyelid of extreme weariness of mental
tncapacity are significant Of the character
which occupies the body whereof they are
part. Any group of mental peculiarities
IL bound to express itseIf in the appear
ance of its possessor.
This is why the portrayal of eccentric,
one-sided or comicti characters on the
stage demands the greatest attention from
the actor in his external preparation for
the footlights
The voice and action, too, must be
equally expressive If they are not the
part is foredcomei to failure. As be-
tween the two, the mental stimulation is
far more important than the physical. The
stage artisan upon the latter. Both artist
AID artisan, however, must study and
work along the same lines to produce
good results.
Distortion Never Desirable.
In the production of effects, it is
mistake TO suppose that exaggeration or
excessive dist ortion cuts like two-edged
sword They produce laugh in the first
place, but they make the audience laugh
at the acting and not at him or
her.
The Thespian who ipdulges in these
practices depcends 10 the level of the
clown or harlequin. and no longer is
member OF the higher ranks of the Fra
ternity of Fun Creators.
Such persons remind me of the comedi-
ans Of the Chinese stage. The man who
plays the light comedy part stencils his
face with light bars of white, black, and
red. while the man who plays the low
comedy roles converts his face into some
thing halfway between a Deaths hand
and Mephigtophles. So. also. does the
circus clown and the poor "rantaloons" of
the pantomirne.
The moment you sec such make-uPs ycu
lnow that you are expected to laugh. be-
cause you feel that you are looking at 1
funny man This is a useful convention I
alis.n. and is very amusing TO small boys /
and audiences of the small country towns /
where stage performances are few and |
very fr between. But at the same time ,
1t is long way from true art.
Real Artist Is Natural !
The careful performer tries, as far as
possible. to be natural beTond everything /
else, and relics upon minute changes for
a powerful effect
Thus the mouth is an index TO character
10 very large extent Its expression
depends upon the muscles which make up
the lips and cheeks. These always indi-
cate themselves by half-visible lines and
irnperceptible shades and shadows, which
in later life deepen into wrinkles and are
commonly termed crows feet BY the

are thin. with long blue shadows between
each finger and claw-like nails.
In every part the hands should be made
up just as carefully rs the face.

| you see.
of course, I cannot wiggle my nose
once 1t is made up. and as all the COM
pany know this. they have lots of amuse-
ment in trying to make me laugh when
ever they have a chance.
A Remarkable Nose Effect.
In one play where I was cast for a
negro girl I wore wood in my nose to
make 1t thick and fiat.
1 first tried building it out with putty.
but this method didn't alter the profile.
which l consider of great Importance.
| After good deal of experimenting got
the property man to make two little round
wooden discs. with holes through them
! They were about the size OF my thumb
nail. and I simple stuck them in either
nostril and secured the desired thick and
fiat nose effect.
| Once the discs were in place they didn't
trouble me in the least, and had no
difficulty in bres thing.
In The Conquerers'' got my makeup
from types Of women had seen on the
streets of Paris. and my Bo Peep in Lord
and Lady Algy." which made quite hit,
copied straight from Reynolds which
saw in the National Gallery. The orig
inal was grotesque enough without having
to exaggerate it at all. and the only
change l made was in the wig. which I
made gray instead of a blonde
I have always made 1t a rule to draw
distinct line between being funny and
vulgar.
Vulgarity I consider objectionable. and
while some persons may laugh at it,
others will be offended. and 1t is to tie
critical ones I want to appeal. II you
please them you can be pretty certain you
please everyone else.
All the Costumes Are Genuine.
I always use genuine clothes in my
stage work. The bicycle skirt that made
such hit in New York is az genuine as
anything that ever existed

Side secondhand clothing store. bought
it on the spot. and really think the zeal
displayed in the transaction made the
merchant add so cents to the price which.

same with the bonnet. 1 bought 1t off an
East Side woman's head.
| had hard time finding the stays I
wear. for they are very old I've had
them many years. and treasure them most
fondly.
An actress who plays such roles as
do must procure real clothing There Is
as much difference between skirt made
to hang badly and one that really does,
as between green and pink-two shades,
by the way that I love to wear on the
stage about my costume.
The coat l wore some years ago in
Lady Bountiful I bought from a woman
in Newark who was very glad to exchange
ii for a new one.
When / cannot get the real thing in

can, and though some of my make-ups
may seem very exaggerated, there is not
one that I have not actually seen some
where or other. either in this country or
abroad, for while l am travelling | am
constantly accompanied BY a small
camera, on the lookout for types to show
on the stage at some future time.

judicious use OF little color these mark
trouble, and the face transformed into
that of the character the actor wants to
assume.
Coquelin is said to have obtained a
marvellous effect by the use of two pieces
of adhesive plaster on either side of the
mouth, just below the lower lip.
He applied the material so as to simu-

Of the material. 1t scarcely could be dis

Louisville, Ky, April 24.-A Ken
lucky Jury placed a valuation of l
cent on a hug, today. Whether Ken
lucky chivalry has declined, or the
Jury was trying to bear the hug mar
ket. are questions that are agitating
the women folks of Louisville. The
verdict was rendered in the case OF
Mrs. Lizzie Cecil against Richard Ian
gan.
Mrs. Cecil alleged that langan
came to a house her husband rented
from him, to make some repairs. She
was alone in room with him when
Langan, who seems to have been sud
denly smitten, made some comph
mentary remarks to her, and after
telling her that she was a nice little
woman, threw his arms about her
and gave her a bear-like embrace.
Mrs. Cecil says she is very ner
vous, and her health was impaired
thereby. She sued for $1,000 damages
and the verdict of / cent was re
turned.
