How to Become an Actress


George Alexander, the well-known
English actor manager, gives in the
Theater Magazine for August some ex-
cellent advice to young women who are
desirous of adopting the stage as
profession. Mr.. Alexander says: .
Don't-unless you can rough it!
Don't-unless you can wait
Don't-unless you can eat your hearth
Don't-unless you can weepAand
win
Save you can accept as your portion
disappointment, delay weariness, travel
and travail, opposition, malice, neglect,
the heartache and the thousand natural
shocks this stage flesh is heir to-why,
l would din 1t into you, don'tl If you
can and will-then, here's luck to you!
ture. Learn to hold up the mirror
that is the whole duty of acting Study
her In the street, in the drawing room,
in the assembly; get at her secrets and
her manifestations of them; learn to
demonstrate them, to reproduce, repeat
them, practice her expression, reniem-
Der her accent, make her live in you
again! Perfect the macl1inery-learn
her myriad ways of walking, of talking,
Of being and Of doing! Let nothing
seem too trivial, nor too hard. Realize
her every way and seek how best to
express her! 1t Is In the nearer ap-
proach to natures great self, great in
all large and all small things that the
JOY, the full flowing joy of acting lies,
and only they who can feel this can
ever hope to succeed. And I myself
doubt If there be any exaltation so
great as that of the supreme moment
of the actor.
The greatest artist, and the closest
to nature, was Shakespeare. Steep
yourself in Shakespeare, gain, acquaint-
ance with his men and his women.
Conceive them afresh--give them new
being! Walk apart and voice them,
and gesture them, and act them to
yourself! He touched the noblest and
the meanest and In him you will find
all secrets.
Then get all the practice you can
Act whenever and wherever you see
the slightest unpromising opportunity!
Never mind your friends; don't let
them deter you'll Treat. home critics
with contempt and grumblers with dis !
dain. Heat grows by friction--so will |
your enthusiasm; and there'll be plenty !
Of friction. don't you fear for that!
And as the parts get bigger and the
more frequent, so will the
friction become more intense and the |
more glowing. Nothing |
divides household so much as private !
That is one OF the sacri-
fees demanded by art, and when the
Muses. beckon, papa must take back
seat. Yes, be diligent in your ill-doing! |
Weary them with Shylock and Portia,
them with Hamlet and Ophe-
liza. sadden them with your humor,
tighten them with your trasedy-only
go onl Drama means doing" Do
your friends. So much the sooner will
you be able to do the public-success-
fully. When you have practiced in
private all the greatest parts of all the
ages: when you have forfeited your
friends indulgence and your relations
owe; when you feel that only opportu-
lity stands between you and greatness.

ncol.n Warren Arrested.

Lewiston, Me.-"Col." Charles M.
Warren has been arrested in this city
by the police department, at the re-
quest of the U. S. authorities, on
charge of robbery of the postoffice at
Newcastle, Me-, on July II. He was
turned over to U. S. Marshal Haskell
of Portland, and was taken to Ban
gor for trial.
Col" Warren is well known to the
police of this city, having been fire.
quently arrested for minor offences.
A number of years ago he achieved
considerable notoriety by reason of
habeas corpus proceedings brought in
his behalf to obtain his release from
Jail, on the ground that the mittimus
on which he was committed for intox-
ication was addressed to the keeper
of the jail
His counsel claimed that there was
no official keeper of the Jail in this
state, and in Massachusetts similar
case had been decided in favor of the
man sentenced. In this case, how
ever, the Maine courts ruled different
ly, and held that the sheriff of the
county was the keeper of the jail,
and Warren had to serve his sentence.
When the safe in the postofice at
Newcastle was blown open $3.50 in
stamps and money was taken.

of anonymous letters denouncing per-
sons as socialists and revolutionaries,
which he entirely ignores, believing
them to be inspired by motives of per-
sonal vengeance. The proclamation
continues:
Letters have also come from the
Jews charging the police with prepar-

permitted, but he adds:
'The government is astonished at
the Jews addressing such letters to
him, seeing that it is the Jews them
selves who caused all the disorders.
"The police invariably found revol-
vers, bombs and prohibited literature
in Jewish homes. But for the Jews
there would be no disturbance and no
Kniaz Poto nkine affair. Now the
Jews have the impertinence to bring
charges against the police"

Chicago.-The Chicago City railway
company has filed a bill in the u s.
circuit court for an Injunction to re-
strain the city of Chicago from inter
fering with any of the company's

city.
The court is informed in the bill
that the city railway now has posses
sion and control of 119 lines within
the corporate bounds Of the city on
which the franchises run until 1858.

he would not be subjected to the gaze

by Sheriff Barr to talk with the pris-

ling by torpedoboat destroyers.
Military officials here attach no i'm
portance to the episode only in con-
nection with the Sakhalin compaign
and say that as the landing was effect
ed at a place where the straits of
Tartary, between Sakhalin and the
mainland, are narrowest, it apparently
is part of the strategy of the Japanese
to prevent the escape of the Russian
garrison in Sakhalin across the straits.
