The Rapid Rise of Women on
the Stage.

Miss Gertrude Coghlan, leading woman
for Robert EdesOn this season in THE
Noble Spaniard," is an example of the
actress who in these latter days wins
prominent position without having to
serve the long and arduOus apprentice
ship usually considered essential. Yet
many players, especially actresses, are
continually coming before the public in
leading positions who exhibit a technique
which has been acquired in only a few
years.
Miss Coghlan made her debut on the
stage as Juliet in THE Royal Box" Prior
TO that time she had never had any stage
experience, yet a very few years later
found her starring through the south in
1.-The Royal Box" Becky Sharp and
alice in Old Nincennes." Her recent ap-
pearances in THE Lion and the Mouse"
and The Travelling Salesman" are IA

Women Demand Purity in Drama

Chicago clubwomen are organizing a
society to make common cause against
indecent plays. One weapon they viii
use in extreme cases is a concerted alb
sence from playhoUscs which cater to
coarse and smut-loving clienteles. The
idea was originally that of Mrs. J. w
Meeker, vice president OF the Evanston
QllinOis) Dramatic club. More than
10000 names of regular theatregoers are
reported as enrolled. In referring to
the same general problem, the Chicago
Daily News of recent date says:
THAT there has come to be a con-
siderable display of red-light morals on
the stage of Chicago is a lamentable
fact 1t is well, therefore, that intelli-
gent women in this community are
preparing TO make a united effort
against filthy plays
Pieces OF dramatic carrion are being
forced more and more to the front by

red-hght department of theatrical
management is the fact that pure wom-

vlleness when it is thrust upon them
on the stage. They do not like it, but
they think their bushes may be due
to some lack Of real understanding Of
what the evil language and evil stu
atoms actually mean. If the things
said and done were really as bad as
they seem would others laugh and ap-
plaud? Would the police keep their
hands off? So the women smother
their dislike. If the club women of
Chicago take the matter up and act
unitedly in accordance with the die
tates Of decency they must exercise a
powerful influence for good upon the
local stage
THE theatregoing public needs this
kind of effective protest against de-
moralizing plays which INSCRIPTIONS

FEET FIND HER A HOME

POOR, but shapely, Pittsburg girl has
p found favor in the eyes of Miss Helen
Frick, laughter of the steel man,
and she has been placed beyond want for
years to come. Miss Anna O'Neii, one of
the foremost dancers in the Pirates of
Penzane" ballet, which was given by the
rich girls of Pittsburg for the benefit of
the poor, has been engaged as compan-
ion TO Miss Frick at a salary of 500
month, with saddle and driving horses,
and her own maid. She has just taken
up her duties in the coast home Of the
tricks.
Miss O'Nen is of the south and came

lion-dOllar chorus was being formed IN
Pittsburg in the summer of 1903, the con-
tributiOn of the bankers wife was her
sister, who, she said, could sing and

She mOdestiy tried It in rehearsal, and

She was prevented from making herself
famous only by the unexpected return
of Mrs Griffey, who said she would not
break her engagement even for a bridal
trip. So popular was the painless south

Pittsburg that she had the place of hon

understood she was able and willing at

engagement.
