tress-manager Mrs. Leland retired
from the stage to engage in management.
Others did the same. But Amelia Bling
ham combines artistic temperament with
the gift OF organizing and doing.
In the setting OF all OF her productions
Miss Bingham herself superintends
every detail. even TO the matter Of
choosing the colors and shades for the
costumes Of her companions. Yet, al
though this particular department might
naturally most commend itself TO the
woman-and Miss Bingham IS above all
things a womanly woman-the actress
manager does not enjoy this part of the
process of mounting a play TO any
greater extent than that Of supervising
the construction OF the scenery. IL is
ali interesting as a means to a perfect
whole. Miss Bingham finds her roles in

Johnson very attractive. In fact. she
likes 10 create any part, but she be
lieves variety is pleasing to the public
A woman's Curiosity?
Il think" says Miss Bingham. that
one OF the strongest phases of human
nature Is curiosity. The public likes an
enigma. Il likes to speculate as 10
whether the acted part is the real wOm-
an-and FOR that matter. I enjoy inves-
tigation myself. / should find II both
amusing and useful TO play role in
which the psychic conditions were iden-
ical with my own temperament.
That Miss Bingham likes to please
women s. shown by her delight IN detail
detail is wonan's Joy. She protests
that she is not domestic-and yet her
dressing room at any theater is charm
ing with the atmosphere that only a
woman-homemaking lovable. and be
beloved-can create. Accompanying her
everywhere are her personal knick-
knacks. bits OF drapery. and all the lit
tie adjuncts that contribute to woman 5
comfort.
