But the most curious occupation that ever heard
of an actor taking up in summer is that of d pawn
brokers' agent Some money lenders of the
pretentious class find it good business to repledge
They know in general way what other pawnbrokers
will lend on them when the chances are that the
Jewery-it is nearly always jewelry-will be taken
out again. So they employ actors who dressed
manner that carries conviction of wealth to
carry round the valuable gems and pawn them.
The salary is small but sure, and there can be no
easier way of earning money The value of the actor
in this curious business lies in his capacity for talk

serious interests are concerned with that which most
OF us are taught to look upon trivial. To the
actress clothes are not mere ornaments but neces-
sites important meat and drink.
One cannot make much of showing with single
frock, am told, even if it happens to be very
good one But simple white frocks are cheap
pec1ally if one makes them herself. And
who is her own laundress who is willing early
formed, make the appearance of the best Numbered
woman IN New York who has unlimited money to
spend. But the bath tub is at her disposal only
early in the morning; she must finish washing her
clothes before o'clock for at that hour other
people IN the house are beginning to stir Her
of the bath as laundry is one of the many
secrets of her menage that she shares with the land
lady and else. The ironing is done in her
little hall room. 1t is laborious process to iron

and boots. Every detail must be perfect, even to
the important matter of arranging her hair that
il will look like the work of hair dresser Many
managers are strong on that sort of thing.
The Right Kind of crink1e
THERE is one particular manager who is inclined
to engage only those actresses whose hair is ar
ranged in the mechanical wavy crinkles with funny
little regular round bumps of barbados and things
which, l believe is named after the supposed in
ventor person by of Marcelle, of whom
there appear to be many originals as of the
"Florodora" sextet The amount of money this
manager has compelled impecunious actresses
to spend for Italian garden effects in hair dressing
is not to be lightly estimated.
If the day is and pleasant, the actress
arrays herself very carefully to look charming
and expensive possible before saying forth upon
morning until three in the afternoon she is calling
At the Offices Frequently she will be compelled to
sit in office for three hours and then fail to see
the busy manager. And when she does see him,

especially when in quest of a par
ticular part, she is usually told that
she is not the type There is
pathetic joke among actresses, that
when they appear before Saint Peter
they will be turned down and back
with the explanation that they are
mot the type"
And when the days round is over
she has to return to work. She
must iron the clothes she washed in
the morning-and ironing in stuffy
hall bed room on a blistering sum-
mer day is exhausting work. Also
she must make hats, which requires
the dyeing of ribbons and much
experimental work. But the iron
ing, l am told, is the worst of all.
She has to wait for the single iron
to heat over the one gas jet, and it
is slow, slow work.
Occasionally she may accept an
invitation to dinner, but not often.
The close of the day finds her
usually too tired to face another
climb up the stairs, and she is glad
to crawl into bed.

simple clothes with an air of distinction
and who carries with her an air of
authority coupled with the ability to talk
we'll
l have known of actresses who easily
can command seventy-fve dollars a
week when their particular kind of SER
vices are needed, who, after months
without an engagement, took positions
as cook rather than be burdens on any
one, while some of them have regular
places as housekeepers of summer hotels
awaiting them.
But the great resource of resting"
actors and actresses in these days is the
moving pictures. The demand for them
is enormous, and the concerns that sup
ply the films are making new ones all
the, time. Naturally they want the best
actors they can get to play for these pic
lures, and different faces in each set.
They pay three dollars to each person for
an indoor set of photographs and five
dollars for outdoor pictures, except when
the work is specially hard or dangerous;
and the actors are given 1uncheons as
we'll, if they care to-but what's the use
of lacking on clause like that?
