No Notes; no yiolets.

He iiings up his hands, literally and
fgurativeIy, in the pose of a stage hero
who has discovered that his wife has
not fallen in love with his best friend,
and exciairls ferventiy: Thank heaven,
that silly idea has gone the way of other
press agent rot. She was a creature of
imagination, subject of jest, like the
poor old ,nother-in-law. Believe me, on
my honor. we never received notes nor
vioiets, nor counted the number of
young girls who hocked 10 the stage
entrance on Saturday afternoon. We've
been fighting this matinee girl myth for
years. and thank God, It's buried at
last"
And then you look az this very In
tense young man and you decide in
stantIy that he is a much better actor
than you had ever given him credit for
being.

In Arden's Dressing Room.

I went back to Proctor's, wondering
whether dr Arden would prove
-'touchy-" Some one had told me that
he came from a fiery old Southern fam

Your stock actor has need TO catch q

The girl You ask aia5ut, never lived
except in the vivid imaginations OF
press agents and cheap newspaper
writers. Perhaps young girls were once
foolish enough TO write silly notes TO
men, whether actors or layu:en. but that
was before girls were given the un-
chaperoned privileges. the clear view OF

But even after Mr. Fayersham's con.
vincing arguments. I felt that some
where, somehow. 1 would still be able
to find a trace OF thee good old matinee

OF yore or their daughters And here
I caught Mr. Arden between the morn

Torrance. The gentleman kindly agreed
to forswear his luncheon-to pay his
respects to the memory OF the matines
girl myth
Could I come back i'll twenty minutes2
I could and I would. In the meantime,
I called at a certain stage door, through
which a long line OF matinee idols had
passed Its presiding genius tas watch

him about the good old matinee girl He
shook his head sadly.

The Successful Actor.

The Successful actor Of today does not
use high-ficwn phrases On the stage and
bad grammar Off he does not live by
his wits and spend his leisure hours in
the public mouse, but he has his bank
accounts. his investments. his city and
his country nonie. and he keeps his pri-
vate life distinct and apart from his
professional career. One of the prob
lens which the successful star OF the
boar must solve is how TO decline social
etfertioas without giving onense. The

To Be Amused.

Women go to the theater to be
amused, TO be entertained If you don't
entertain them they will not come. DO
not care who the actor or what his hold
on the popular affections. Women come
TO the theater in the greatest numbers,
because they have the time They swell
the night audiences because 1T IS the
woman who decides the question OF
which play is to be seen. The majority
If American men are too busy even 10
keep pace with the drama They buy
tickets for the play their women solks
prefer 10 see. Therefore, TO certain
extent, women make or mar plays
run. The American woman studies the
Grama more seriously than she once did.
/ do not pretend that this IS due 10 col
lie ge training or club life, or hlgner edu-
cation but the fact remains that women
take the theater mere seriously than
they did ten or even FIVE years ago
There are women who come TO the play
in the same spirit that they open good

eye, but these are not the women VINO

Anplause and Notes.

Whereupon the women applaud the
actor-and then go home TO write
scathing notes TO the man. Some sign
their names and others do not. but the
general tenor of these notes is some
thing like this:
What do you mean. by playing a
role like NeviIl Letchmere? You dis
iIlusionize us regarding your own sex.
You shatter our iedalse
And such notes Mr.. Faversham keeps
along with the favorable criticisms of
the newspaper men, because he knows
that these scathing rebukes to the man
are tributes TO the actor. These new
matinee girls did not watch how he
carried his cane, or wore evening
clothes or made love to the leading

Actor and the Man.

MIR. Drew 1 asked, have women
learned to differentiate between the
actor and the MANI"
Mr.. Drew stroked his mustache and
looked at me keenly. Instinctively I
caught myself wondering whether my
scolding locks had escaped from the
comb on the back of my head. Mr.
Drew has an odd trick of mentally in
terviewing interviewers.
Why do you ask me that question
Why should L be considered an author
ity on women"
Now, if there is one time when your
self-respect drops TO a low notch it is
when you take your mission seriously
and the man you address takes it as a

IT. HE real matinee girl is no more!
To be sure. young women still
fock to the theater. but the
good, old-fashioned matinee girl,
who wrote pages in her diary about her
favorite actor in romantic or society
roles, who sent him delicious little notes
signed or unsigned, according TO the
measure Of romance bubbiing UP in her
maidenly bosom, who sQuandered her
pin money on yiolets which eventually
reached the dressing room OF the above
mentioned actor, who hung around the
stage entrance in the misty cleaning of
late Saturday afternoons to watch her
divinity issue forth-this matinee girl is
no more But ne theatergoing public
has read about her, joked about her
and pitied her so long that 1t has begun
to imagine the matinee girl has as much
to do with creating a vogue for an actor
as does the playwright or the critics.
