Miss Eleanor Gordon, known here
as Miss Eleanor Swenson, formerly
living at Ills Second avenue, is re.
ceiving much favorable mention by
the dramatic critics Of San Francisco
and other coast cities in numerous
notices given her during the past few
months.
Miss Gordon has had many things
said of her in the widespread dis
cussion Of her rapid rise from the
foot Of the coast theatrical ladder to
the top, being now leading lady at
the Majestic theater in San Francisco.
Much of what has been said has had
to do with her Spokane life-her life
of hard study before going ON the
stage. In these stories she has been
accused of being everything from a
graduate Of dramatic school to a
graduate from the 400"
Miss Gordon left Spokane a little
over three years ago for San Fran
cisco with the avowed intention OF
going on the stage. She first Joined
the Alcazar stock company at that
place. with which organization she
remained year.
Next she appeared with the Har-
rington Reynolds stock company at
Seattle and Los Angeles. After six
weeks with this company she return
ed to the Alcazar in Frisco, where
she remained until she signed with
the Grand Opera stock in Los Ange-
les. as second woman" Her work
there attracted the attention of the
Majestic management and she was
engaged as second woman" in that
company, cancelling an engagement
to appear with the Ada Rehan COM
pany. Then followed promotion to
the position of leading lady at the
Majestic.
Recently Miss Gordon was selected
to create the part of Queen Vashti in
"Mizpah." new biblical play by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Commenting
upon her splendid work in this play.
Ashton Stevens. dramatic critic of
the San Francisco Examiner, had this
to say:
young Eleanor Gordon has just
become the leading woman of the
more than ordinary stock company
at the Majestic theater, San Fran
cisco. Her acting is so well known
In the two principal cities of Cali
fornia that l am robbed of the pleas
ure of introducing her. Already her
name Is a trademark.
"'Already,' because just three
years ago Miss Gordon was learning
her craft at the Alcazar, wearing
smart dresses in ballroom scenes and
speaking hardly line. She furnish-
ed her own gowns; and, not yet listed
among the regular extra women her
salary was precisely nothing a week.
From nothing a week and inexperi-
ence to leading ladyship and a stout
steady salary. is big jump for three
years. 1t beats even the promises of
the dramatic schools 1t goes a
long way to point the futility of les
sons In acting at home or by mail

old-timers that the boards after all.
are the only dramatic school.

writes the inevitable magazine article
and says the inevitable There is no
easy road to success on the stage,
please do not discount the words of
the inevitable star merely because
Miss Gordon has reached the top of a
local heap in three short years. Only
to you and me have those years been
short for Miss Gordon. She reekons

THE TEMPTATION OF DIANA.
BY H. H. F.

Diana, being enamored of the
shepherd, Endymion, binds his
brow with peoples, and bears him
to Mount Latmos, where he rests
in perpetual sleep-Mythology..
All, sleepIess nights, and passage
slow of days,
And sapless hours that wither in
my lap
AS daisies dropt from morn's all
dewy brow!
All, scentless breeze that strays
along the grass,
Or plays with listless boughs,
where silent birds
browse lazilyl The pebbled stream
is hushed,
That sang so ioyously along the
way,
And all fair things have lost their
blush and bloom,
And fade insipidly or stagnant keep
Their timid hold OH life. All,
blight and change
OF nature deep that hovers in the
air!
The very form and face of thing do
The semblance of a disencbanted
dream.
My useless bow drops idly from my
hand,
And all my senses, numb, do in
ward turn,
And feed upon themselves. All,
woe is me!
How weary of the chase my laggard
feet
Have grown, since this still face
hath come to haunt
And fill my hapless days with rest
less thoughts
And warnings born of parents
vague. Meseems
My spirit hovers at the hem of
some
Vast, shadowy realm whereto my
step is drawn,
Yet falters with sweet dread to
daily there
'Twixt hone and fear.
1 close mine eyes and dream.
The warm, soft glow of evenings
sun comes TO
My cheek, tho long, and far below
the deep
His light has faded out. The
mateing song
OF birds is in the trees, and laugh
ing throngs
OF happy beings pass me, two by
two,

And hand in hand, and roses, wet
with dew,
Plucked from some sylvan bower
when morn was new,
Are i'm their hair, their eyes aglow
with soft
Communion light, seek eyes that
answer more
Than tender words. Anon, turn
aside.
The visions change to field and
wooded slopes;
The wild hawthorn conceals the
nesting dove,
Whose mate nearby cooes low and
amorously
Through lazy hours. The timid
deer, in pairs,
Browse peacefully as in the groves
of Pan.
And all fair things are there of
fruit and flowers
And messy streams that whisper
to the reeds
And happy birds that chirp, and
lazy bees,
Their brown legs heavy with the
garnered sweet
OF myriad blooms.
All, me it is not mete
That 1 should daily thus. These
glimpses fair
And tokens of soft bliss are not for
me.
Farewell, fair shepherd, it shall
not he writ,
That Phoebe here didst all but
shame her trust
And sacred vOws-nay, nay, 'twere
better death
Than hide Olympus and the taunts
and jeers
OF the assembled gods, a culprit
bowed.
Why pause and falter still, when
life doth point
Divergent ways for our two selves?
AMI
Grown sick and weak. as some
frail rustic maid
Whose heart-stIings be the play and
fancy of
Each scented breath of passing
breeze? For shame!
That Love didst all but make her
house within
Ny very breast.
Farewell. Endymion!
Farewell! but ere go i needs
must pluck
From thy white brow one crimson
token OF
A danger passed. So, here, close
at thy side,
| kneel. How sweet the scent that
hovers rOundl
/ tremble faint with thrust of
blisses warm;
A subtitle essence fingers in his
hair,
And speaks my breast with elo-
quence of plea
/ dare not own.
List! through the night a voice
OF warning and impending fate {:
"forebear!
Wake not the sleeper from his rest!
Beware
OF his soft words and softer eyes
To fire
And tempt thee further still; flee
from the ire
OF deathless shame and deep re-
morse and pain
OF after-days, and peace sought for
in vain.
Each fitting movement saps thy
faltering will;
Each pulsing of thy breast grows
warmer still
In this mad conflict of thy mind
and heart
Flee, flee the ban, the gnawing
sling and smart,
Born of a moments sweet aban-
doning!
Suck not the honey-dew where
hemlocks spring
Take thy hot breaths of passion
hence, while yet
Calm night holds on apace, and
dews are welt"
SoYbe it, then, l bow, and will
