Privileged 20 meet Margaret AngIin
and 10 converse with her frequently IN
this course OF the past summer, before
the restraints imposed by the hard work
and study OF preparation for the sea-
son" interposed, the writer managed to
gain by good listening and much quiet
observation a fairly accurate notion OF
the actress and her View OF the art Of
acting. Revelation was made OF some
thing more interesting still-the woman
beneath the artist, a character. very
unusual and less known away from the
fOotlights than that OF any other native
stage celebrity.
This last condition is due. no doubt.
to the fact that Miss Anglin never ap-
pears in public. except 20 do her work
upon the stage, and shrinks from any
form Of self-exploitation or any posi-
bility OF unconscious advertisement as

tense. OF artihciality OF any sort, hits

after-rehection brought back again with
peculiar force the fact that truth must
always base good art just as necessarily
as It lies at the bottom OF everything
good in life.

many features OF stage life foreign and
