ABOUT THAT COAT

You wear a coat. Why?
To keep the cold out? No;
to keep the warmth in,
What of the body that has
no warmth-the thin, poor
body that lacks the healthy
flesh and fat it needs9
! For such we say that SCOTS
Emulsion provides the right
kind of a coat. Why3 Be
cause SCOTS Emulsion builds
firm, solid flesh and sup
plies just enough fat to fill
natures requirements no
more. That means bodily
warmth.

Talented women of today are prominent
in many businesses that would have
caused their grandmothers to stare and
gasp. Nowhere are bright intellectual
women more valuable than about the

Eizabethan days when beardless youths
played feminine parts to the present time
when women are playwrights. managers
press agents, stage directors, play brok-
ers and what not in the theatrical line.
For example. bright woman in earlier
middle life controls the vast majority of
the plays that are sent out from New

on a somewhat higher plane is the ac-
tress who has expertress and broad in
tellectuality to stage manage her own
production. Minnie Madden Fiske does
This sort of thing constantly, and so does
Mrs LeMoyne. OF course, both women
employ competent stage directors and nay
them handsome salaries But watch the
rehearsals and you will see Mrs. LIE
Moyne or Mrs Fiske, as the case may be,
the brains and the directing center of the
enterprise. Important questions at re-
hearsal are settled by sort Of council of
war, just as questions of policy in many
newspaper offices. The star, the manager,
the playwright and the professional stage
director go over each matter minutely,
but the woman of brains who is also
playing the stellar part rules. Hers are
the choice of play. the final say as to the
actors and to large extent responsibility
for the artistic side of the production
THE theater should be a school Of etj-
quette," said Mrs. LeMoyne the other day
in speaking Of these and other matters,
mot that 1t is all that today. Many ac-
tors show deplorable lack of training
in the simplest matters-how to bear ones
to pay to ladies and a thousand and one
details known to the well-bred man or
woman. A stream cannot rise above its
source, nor can graceful actors be created
by plebian or vulgar stage managers.
Some of the greatest stage managers
that ever lived have been women. One
need only point to the examples of Laura
Keene and Charlotte Cushman in a past
generation and to that of Sarah Bern
hardt in the present age to confirm the
statement. A woman stage director has
an eye to small articles Of detail which
often her colleague cannot see. She does
not reason things out perhaps, but arrives
at intuition of what is just and fitting.
Miss Marlowe is only one Of many leading
actresses who are tireless workers at re-
hearsals and not only carry their own
parts, but infuse vigor and reality into
the efforts of their subordinates."
Mrs LeMoyne might well have included
herself in this class.
