example. Shakespeare confronted with
SIR Henry Irving at rehearsal of The
merchant Of Venice, or Sheridan with
MISS Ada Rehan at one of The School
Tor Scandal. One can easily imagine the
speeches that might pass on such oc-
casions. For example: As look at your

GRACE VAN sTUDolFoRo ON STAGE
KISSING.

Miss Grace Van Studdiford, the star
In De koveh's new opera, RED Feather"
talked entertainingly the other evening
while making up for the performance re-
gardlns stage kissing and other mat
tiers connected with her profession. Her
dressing table was strewn with an ar
ray of dainty little belongings, and as
she chatted she put the finishing touches

Some comment on the character of the
Countess HiIda-the part Miss Van Stud
dnord pIays-tufned the conversation to
the love scenes I'm the opera and inciden-
tally to stage love making in general.
That's the part that Is always dis
tasteful to me- she said, land I never can
40 anything with it at rehearsals. It's
Do silly 1 always want to laugh. And it
always takes me week or two after
Che play has been put on before 1 can
$ealIy get into the part of it."
Kissing she said In response to
question. there's never any necessity for
1t in light opera. 1t might be required In
some forms of dramatic work, but ordi-
nar1ly there's little or no kissing on the
stage Why, see how 1t would spoil ones
makeup And suiting the action to the
word. she pressed her lips on her hand,
LEAKING there a vivid impression OF them
In carnine.
There was pretty little love scene In
Maid Marian she continued: but
there was no actual kiss. Instead the
tenor touched my cheeks lightly with his
hands, and both Of us turned our faces
up stage, and the effect was given, and
that was all that was necessary
But l don't believe In promiscuous
kissing at any rate. I think it's all right
to Kiss your husband. or your mother, or
your sister. but l don't believe IN kiss
