fame by her Interpretation of the
part of the wife in Bernstein's
drama, 1.-THE Thief" has announced
her intention of retiring perman-
emily from the stage.
Miss Ellington. who is the wife
of Daniel Frohman, spoke almost
fearfully of her work: ut is not
because | do not love it-have not
appreciated success, but because
am tired, tired. A good actress
feels every emotion she depicts;
every pain. every joy. For a wom-
an of my temperament, the stage is
no place. l am too intense In all
my emotions.
There is no finer, no more no
BILE occupation on earth than that
of an actress, but there should be
longer periods of rest. For me II
is better to retire now, when
have tasted success. l love to be
quiet, to sit at home and read and

ed wife, and--Miss Ellington smiled
sweetly.
She is to spend some time in
California for a complete change
and rest.
