struggles and Rewards of stage
The stage is like no other profession
in the world There are no prescribed
courses OF study. no regular textbooks.
and no diplomas. except the applause OF
audiences. and this is an uncertain
quantity. Above all else II is a pro-
fession In which individuality counts
for nearly everything. yet that same In
div;duality has to be sunk completely
that artistic success may be attained.
paradoxlcai as this statement may
seem.
Thorn-strewn is the path OF one ar
tistically inclined In this profession
An, mere is so much to overcome-so
many heartbreaking disappointments to
endured In other professions one learns
his lessons, and a sufficient number OF
lessons learned means proficiency. With
the actress Il Is very. very much 'diffe->
ent. There is no end to the study. the
lessons OK greatest value are learned
trials. and many earnest ef-
forts often prove 10 be but 50 much
time wasted. Hundreds fail where one
succeeds; the selfish trampie onward
over the meek; the modest and unas-
suming seldom rise above the foot OF
the ladder But. with all this In mind. |
, ran still feel that the dramatic profess
don is more than worth while. Great
Is the struggle. the reward is commen-
'u-ate. For many reasons a woman

through being an actress than would
