actresses Except Miss RusselD will agree with
her. but who will start the reform is quite n
other question.
Actresses are all becoming weary OF the
elaborate dressing we have on the stage nova

room at Lew Fields Theatre between the
matinee and night performance of 1T Happened

how much of my time is taken up during per-

It keeps two maids very busy all the time, I
think many OF would be glad to return to the
oIdCme simplicity. A woman on the stage once

as I say I alter my gowns. Everything is too
carefully arranged on the stage now for accl-
dents 10 happen-and they are not accidents,
they are tragedies.
NO, it doesn't make any difference to me
what my costumes are whether they are pretty
or humorous, if they only help to bring out the
part am playing. I like the costumes best In
the best parts. Where the character is pro-
nouuced and clear cut the costumes are likely TO
be, and they should be. I don't believe small,
unimportant parts should be accentuated any
more than the smaller objects should in a pict-
ure, They are important part Of the detail
work, but they should not be brought promt-
nentIy into the foreground.
People can hardly understand how much diff
ference a costume makes to ones feelings If
you are not dressed properly it is almost i'm
possible to act the part People off the stage
have the same feeling to some extent. The way
a woman is dressed has great deal to do with
the way she feels If she is dressed for in
stance, with particular daintiness. it can almost
be felt in her manners"
Which is after all, isn't 1t, a confession that
Miss Ring doesn't quite all she says
against the attention paid to stage costumes?
