"CiSsy" LOTUS Career

JUST now it is very much the
fashion for actresses to tell how
they began their work on the
stage. One after another has had her
inning, and now it is "Cissy' LOTUS
turn.
"One evening 1 went to music hall.
On the program was a girl who gave
limitations. Never in my life had l
thought of such a thing, but the girls
performance was so bad that while
watching her i said to myself: L can
do better than that myself 1 can do
limitations Somehow, instinctively, I
knew that 1 could do them, just as
knew that 1 could act. On the next
day 1 went to the manager and told
him that wanted to enter the profess
sion. But what can you do, my child?'
he said. I can do limitations l an
swered. He had man pull out
piano and play accompaniments to
songs the verses of which 1 didn't even
know. However, L had the information
of voice. The effect was there if the
words were missing.
IT was so timid in those days that
was almost afraid of my own voice.
Can you do that before people?' the
manager asked me. l assured him l
could. Does your mamma know about
this?' was the next thing he asked me.
I told him that my mother did not
know about my aspirations, but L
would tell her. He promised to give
me a chance at the Saturday matinee,
which was the next day. L was so
happy that I went home and told my
mother all about it. But what can
you do?' she asked. I sang verse
OF two of different popular songs, as
interpreted by well known persons.
My mother was delighted. I learned
the songs that same night while a
man orchestraed them and my mother
took tucks in one of her own dresses.
1.-The next afternoon 1 went on and
did my limitations. My success was in.
Simultaneous, although my name was
not even on the program. I was only
too glad to be billed os Miss LOTUS,

noon. Not even on Monday did it
dawn upon me that tn enewsboys who
called out Schoolgirl Astonishes Lon

hearsal, and on the way there heard
great deal about this same school

AUTUMN SONG OF THE GOLFER

I hear sad people mourning for the sum-
mer that is dead,
And many pensive maiden dreams Ger
triumphs that are ended;
The brooks are singing sadly, and with
slow and solemn tread
The cattle wind across the fields that
lately were so splendid.
Oh, many praise the autumn days, and
many praise the spring.
When lovers loiter in green lanes, con-
tent to be together
And June, with all its glories, sets the
bards to caroling,
But give me any season If it's pleasant
golfing weather.
A glow of richest crimson spreads where
all was lush and green,
When summers charms We're fullest,
and on scattered heads of clover
Belated bees are slipping the last sweets
that they may CLEAN;
From groaning bins the golden stores or
wealth are splitting over
Oh, some men praise the autumn days,
and prize the spell they bring,
When earth and sky appear to be 80
very near together;
And many a bard in lifting lays has sung
the charms of spring,
But give me any season If it's pleasant
golflng weather.

better off without him. His attacks on
existing social conditions are very radi-
cal and are almost certain to be mis-
interpreted by children. Take Man

The Art of Makeup
BY Julien Eltinge

CNote-Julien Eltinge is the imperson-
ator of society girls who is making big
hit at the OrpheumD
- ONE people think it is easy for a
man to make up as a woman, and
- that all that is needed is a light
voice and a few tricks of walk and
gesture. To these I would simply
make the remark that every blessed
performance 1T takes me ninety minutes
an hour and a half-to change my
five feet nine inches of somewhat ath-
letic manhood into something that
looks and acts like a girl. Dress and
grease paint are the chief ingredients
in the change, and once you look right
you can act with some assurance that
there is some consistency about your
work.
In the first place I have very broad
shoulders, and they have got to be
painted and dressed until they assume
a becoming roundness of contour. My
waist measure when [ get into my cor
sets is just twenty-three inches, and
have to train myself to breath almost
entirely with my upper chest.
II used to have my makeup put on
me, but l came to the conclusion that
IL was too important matter to leave
to someone else, so L made a study of
the methods used by Lillian Russell,
and now can do the whole thing my
self, from beading my eyebrows 10 ar
ranging my back hair. 1t will proba-
bly, be a surprise to many to know that
the longest time taken by any indi-
vidual portion of my makeup is in re-
modelling my hands, or rather making
them look dainty, long and tapering.
1t was no easy matter at first, for
there was no precedent for me to go
by, and my hands were hopeless in
their natural condition, as they were
rather large and round. I made a
study of the hands of women in RAJ
phael's paintings and following out the
shadows and the long tapering effects
I worked out a scheme of painting my
hands by myself, and now 1 can make
them look about one-half their real
size If I want to.
II suppose with all this talk OF
grease paint and clothes, and all sorts
of feminine fol de rolls, it will be nat
hral for some to say: "a man can
not do that sort of thing day in and
day out without becoming effeminate.'
ooh I don't know.
1T isn't out work that makes US
we make our work. A man can sell
ribbons behind counter and be a
man-if he wants to. But 1t seems tc
me that the world of art should al
least be free from any such miscon.
ceptions as this. 1t is the results which
count, and if one does artistic work
what right has anyone to go behind
that. Shall ] say that a woman i;
bad because she succeeds in forcefully
portraying a character which is per.
sonally undesirable? Shall I say thai
an actor is a murderer and an interior.
err because his Richard III is a perfect
piece of work? Why then will people
insist that a man cannot impersonat,
woman without being effeminate?
"Fudge!"

can be carried on as meaningless to the
outsider as the jargon of thieves and
yeggmen. Thus, it is with acting as it
is with medicine, law, Wall street
speculation, sports and nearly all occu-
pations and pastimes. No one of these,
however, has contributed more to the
general stock in trade of street slang
than the stage.
AS illustrated in the conversations
already quoted, there are two kinds of
stage slang-that peculiar to the work
of the stage and that which actors en-
ploy in ordinary talk when they are not
behind the footlights.
In the first class there is a beWilder-
ing number of terms which have double
meanings, are applied to inanimate and
animate objects and are used either in
a sense of praise or of derision.
Every one who has been to theater
knows what "supe" is. He or she is
the man or woman who is supernumer-
airy TO the cast proper, one who stands
in the background. "Spearbearer" is
another term for "supe," but it also APP
plies to a member of the chorus. In
legitimate drama all those who have no
speaking parts are "supes." Hence, 1t
is often used as term of derision when
applied to an actor who in reality has a
speaking part.
A prop" short for property, is any
the man or woman who takes care of it.
All of the stage fittings and the cos
tunes of all but the principals in spec
tacular and musical productions are
props"
A "ranter" or "bawler" is one who
overacts. Making a contract to appear
in a play is getting a shop" A
double" is an actor who takes two or
more parts In the same cast.
An actor who for the moment forgets
his lines is spoken of as "going up" IL
he forgets them entirely he is "stick-
ing dead An actor who gets a repu-
tation for always forgetting his lines is
known as "fluffer."
Fake" and taking" are used in a
double sense to indicate either fraud
or the use of old material in new way.
Thus a flake" actor, or "faker," may
be either one who has no real merit or
one who has the ability to make some
thing out of nothing, or give an old
device a new appearance A ''faker''
| is also one who can tide over "break,"
that is, when another actor forgets his
| lines, by interpolating words not in the
play.
A "'fakement" is a good substitute for
something which is not. The term
''faker," used in colloquial slang to de-
note a fraud, is taken from the stage

Do Soft She'll Crabs Look Like Fried

speaking about the imagination con-
trolling ones Appetite remarked the
waiter in the Forty-second street chop
house, reminds me of a little Incl
dent that occurred down here the other
evening. A party of six from one of
the theaters came in and ordered q
soft crab supper. When the queer
locking objects came out daintily
mounted on brown toast the party be-
gan to cut off the rich claws and eat
them with a relish. 1 guess they
would have consumed them all and
called for more had there not been a
joker along. This joker speaded one
of the crabs with his fork and holding
it aloft said, with a twinkle in his
eye:
Gee, I have to shut my eyes when
L eat soft crabs.
"'Why So? asked one of his COM
panions.
Because they look so much like
fried SPIDERS
"Then the others noticed the striking
similarity between a soft crab and
spider and lost their appetites."
