Once When It Did Mix.

"At least, there was one occasion
on which society and the stage
were associated. I said, despair
ingly, when Mrs. Gould gave her
famous Mrs. Van Vechten's Di-
vorse' in the ballroom of the
Plaza"
ooh. yes, and it was simply de-
lightful."
us it true that Kyrle Bellew had
a bad case Of stage fright?"
"Why, Of course! They both did.
Mrs. Gould was so nervous that
she could scarcely hold the letter
in her trembling hands. That was
perfectly natural. for. you see,
Mrs. Gould is an experienced ac-
tress. Only amateurs are free
from stage fright"
"And have you never outgrown
your stage fright" 1 tried to
catch myself, but fortunately she
was much interested in the sub
ject Of the nervousness Of &C
tresses, and did not take advantage
Of an entirely unintentional open
ing which had given her to mis-
construe my words into the alb
surd meaning that I thought her
amateurish.
Certainly 1 haven't outgrown it.
It's a part of the business. Every
actor and actress experiences the
same feeling. When I was in Sir
Henry Irving's company no one
would dare go near him for hours
before a first night. And my uncle,
John Drew, doesn't eat anything
for three or four days before he
puts on a play. Really, it is tor

but, of course. all this nervous
ness passes off after the first
night"
..Not at all. The second night is
almost as bad. for nearly all your
energy has been exhausted in that
first night and there is still that
terrible feeling of uncertainty.
And even after a play has had
long run I never go to the theater

Il am glad to hear you say so.
All our classic comedies ought to
be revived in the spirit Of the pres
ent day. and hope you win not
offend by presenting them in the
broad, almost coarse manner in
which Washington saw She Stops

Broad and coarse! Oh, when
there is so much beautiful comedy
and delightful satire to be brought
out, That would be a sacrilegei"
I quite agreed.
And while you are waiting for
your opportunity to play Rosalind
are you enjoying Her Sister'?'
"Yes, I like the play. 1t holds
the interest of the audiences bet
ter than any play I have had for

that absorbs the attention of the
people out front so that they for
