How an Aeror q.

One of the English actors who Wis.
tied the United States first two years
ago became so popular as a matinee
hero, in spite of his obesity, that it
seemed as if the day of the fat actor
might have arrived at last. But the
star evidently lost confidence in his
ability to hold his audience if he grew
any stouter. He returned last month
thinner by thirty POUNDS than he had
been. To retain these slighter pro-
portions no jockey ever went through
more strenuous training than he. He
takes a Turkish bath daily, and Wien
there are matinees may be found IN
the hot room as early as 10 o'clock in
the morning. He fingers there as
long as health will permit and has his
reward in looking many pounds slight
err and some years younger when he
steps on the stage. But the treat
ment is heroic and the actor expresses
his own doubts as to the length OF
time he will he able to keep up such
a sacrifice for the sake of his looks.
