REVERSE SIDE OF STAGE
PICTURE IS PITIFUL ONE.

To the stage-struck girl the life of an
actress seems all beautiful gowns,
lowers and applause Of the admiring
multitude. 1t looks s 20 easy-and SO de-
l~ightful-to be a lovely heroine every
night for a few hours and to have ones
photographs in every shop window.
But suppose you were in a minor
company and had to play one-night
stands, travel on poor trains. get turned
away from hotel after hotel because of
a narrow-minded prejudice against
stage folk. and, to cap the climax, dress
in. a dirty little dressing-room and play
to an audience that Eats peanuts,
steadily, .crunchingly, maddeningly
right through the most thrilling scenes.
This is no fancy picture-but the real
experiences of a young actress as told
in the November Woman.s Home Com
panion. It's worth while reading. just
for the story 1t tells of the conditions
In theatres, the smaller theatres, all
over the United States, and it's a true
story Of the stage Of today.
