THE SOCIAL STATUS
OF THE STAGE STAR.

Many Are I'm Society, But Many More
Refrain From Taking Part in the
Social WhirI, Because They Can
not Serve Two Masters.
During Maude Adams last tour,
social leader in a midwest city and
a personal friend of the young star,
issued invitations for reception in her
honor. At almost the last moment,
Miss Adams appeared before her hos
tess, muffied up to her eyes and Offer
ing this explanation:
II have come in person to make my
apologies and to explain why l cam
not be present when your friends ar
rive. AS you see. I have a cold and
must not speak above a whisper in
order to save my voice for to-night's
performance. l want you to under
stand
The hostess was in despair.
But, my dear girl, the affair is en-
tirely in your honor. If you could
Tut in an appearance for only a short
time, you need not use your voice.
can make the apologies
Miss Adams smiled and shook her
head
And earn a reputation for hauteur
I cannot serve both my profession and
society, and 1 all under contract to
the former"
In those few sentences Miss Adams
voiced the feeling of the better class
of her fellow workers. Society does
not want them unless they achieve
success, and if they would be success
full, they have no time for society.
Miss Barrymore's Social Position.
In this day of grace society is for
the indomltable. He may enter who
willard there are many doors
Given fair name. beauty, brains and
money, all of which some American
actresses possess, and the woman who
can sway her thousands across the
footlights will successfully storm the
social citadel. The question as stake
is this: rs it worth while?"
When Ethel Barrymore scored an
artistic triumph this rail- in Carrots"
the world of critics and regular thea
ter-goers exclaimed: Good. 1t looked
for while as if social success would
blast her artistic career" For of all
stage women, Miss Barrymore holds
the most secure position in New York's
social world.
Men and women who are really
making history and art and literature
have no time for the carving of a So
cial career. They leave that for but
terflies who hutter in the sunlight shed
by others; for women whose ambi-
ton is to rule and who can do so only
above the teacups, over damask, and
under the myriad. lights of a ballroom
Just as the social leader is chained to
her engagement book, so must the ac-
tress bow to her art. And each wom-
an in her way is content.
Time was when members of the pro-
fession bore it's stamp on their con-
duct and dress. They talked shop"
in public. They wanted all who saw
to know that they trod the boards:
they attracted attention wherever they
went and they dressed conspicuousIy,
often loudly And well-bred people
drew back their skirts as they passed
by, and prided themselves on their
own quiet demeanor and simplicity of
dress.
The EScIusiveness of the star.
But all this is changed. The up-to-
GATE star is in the throes of an era of
exclusiveness. The women prominent
in society are doing the unexpected,
the eccentric thing.
In going abroad the star clings to

and frequent change OF bill to pre-
pare for Beyond an occasional appear
ance at the Lambs Club or the Play
ers', he has little chance for meeting
Americans socially.
The women stars from abroad are
no better off. An American engage
ment represents so many thousands OF
dollars with which to purchase luxu-
ries at home. 1t is purely a business
venture, and social engagements inter-
fere with it's success.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell. who queens
II over a social clique in London, has
declined nearly all invitations In New
York, because she has personally d.
rected all her productions. Charming

Hare in "The Gay Lord Quex" goes

New York stay she barely got beyond

Fitch on the Actress and Society.
actor and society, Clyde Fitch. the
playwright. said: THE gulf between
the stage and that much abused
world, society, is relic of the Puri-
tanical era. Society does not give
hang about the stage and stage peo-
pie do not give a hang for society. So
ciety goes to the theater to be amused;
to see the play l doubt that 1t no.
tees names on the programme. IL
Miss Jones makes a hit In bit OF
character work, the woman in the box
will remark afterward, Wasn't that
girl in red>clever?' But she will not
remember her name.
II do not think that society In Amer
lea is interested in the theater and its
ACTORS beyond being amused when
the opportunity arises. 1t will not be
bored, and IL 1t chooses to feel bored
by stage people, that Is the end of 1t.
Now in London it 10 different. There
society is interested in the drama and
the people who interpret II. The
smart set in the social world, in lit
erature, and in art mingle. The circle
is larger. There are more people who
write and paint and play to make UP
this circle of social life.
ION the other hand, IL New York So
ciety elects to take up a certain per-
son and make much Of her, IL cares
not wether she is or is not in the pro-
fession.
AND your American actress is
quite independent of society, in the
sense of the exclusive smart set. So
ciety is made up of many cliques, and
each woman has the RICH to feel that
she has her own social circle. The
actress who is guest of honor at a
smart Sunday morning breakfast, and
the chorus girl who is invited out TO
Sunday night tea over In Jersey, will
both feel that they are received So
cially outside the profession.
AS l said before, society and the
stage are equally indifferent to each
other. Each is busy In it's own way,
absorbed and independent in its occu-
pations and its pleasures its work and
its amusements."

are perpetually on exhibition. Such
entertaining Is not a relaxation or a
pleasure to them. 1t is a part of their
business life. The result is that sue
cessful women of the stage are draw
ing further and further into their
shells.
The uncertainty of social standing in
America has much to do with the con-
ditions referred to above. The social
leader of to-day may depend upon
cleverness and wealth entirely. Family
standing she has not. Her father or
her grandfather may have sold gro
ceries to the mother of the stage star;
therefore, milady of society,s realm
cannot afford to receive" the woman
who stands equally high in the dra-
matte profession. She is not sufficient
ly sure of her own social position to
run any risks. So fear on the one side
and pride on the other keep them
apart.
But each well-known actress gathers
about her a little circle of friends out
side the profession, whose influence is
to draw her away from the strain and
anxieties of her work.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indica-
ton of arrangement or disease in some
organ, and the cause of the headache
is difficult to locate because so MANY
diseases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stom-
ach and liver, heart trouble, kidney
disease, lung trouble, eye strain or i'll
fitting glasses all produce headaches,
and If we could always locate the or
gan which is at fault the cure of OBJ
stinate headaches would be a much
simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head.
and throat: when the headache is loca.
ted in back of head and neck it is Oft
en- caused from catarrh of the stouaa CHI
or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure or the catarrh causes prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of
antiseptics like red gum, blood root
which act upon the blood and cause
the elimination of the catarrhal poison
from the system through the natural
channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and euloeies
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for
them. She says: II suffered daily from
severe frontal headache and pain In
and back Of the eyes, at times so in
tensely as to incapacitate me in INV
daily duties. had suffered from ca
tarrh, more or less, for years, but new
er thought it was the cause OF NV
headaches, but finally became con-
WINGED that such was the case be-
cause the headaches were always
worse whenever I had a cold or fresh
attack of catarrh.
"Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were
highly recommended to me as a SAFE
and pleasant catarrh cure, and after
using a few ffty-cent boxes which I
procured from my druggist was sur
prlsed and delighted TO find that both
