Eleanor Robson's Advice.
Strange Counsel Given Girl With His
trionic Ambitions.

Eleanor Robson. who comes 10 the
National Theater next week with Isra ell
Zangwilis comedy Merely Mary Ann Z"
is one Of the youngest stars on the
American stage, and for that very rea-
son what she has TO say in reply TO
the oft-repeated question, What must
i do 20 become an actress?" is both in
terosting and valuable.
The question was put TO Miss Robson
in Chicago recently by a school girl
who wrote that she was sixteen years
old and that she had seen a performance
OF Merely Mary Ann and had cried
Just buckets OF tears, Il was so sweet. .
THAT was the way she put it, Miss
Robson replied TO the letter. and later
she told a friend what she had said:

that l told anything very new. It's
IafEer a hackneyed subject. and ABOUT

surprised TO see what looked like a melo-

and closely followed by large mounted
policeman. fourishinB a revolver and

meant by running her down when she
was taking little gallOp on her pony.

Earl with the fact that the rate OF
speed az which she had been riding
was unlawful. and that IL was his duty
TO place her under arrest. Just then
