old stock company days, when we had
a reserve of new beginners who spoke
no lines, but Just went on to look well
and fill up the stage Tho girl s name
was Pauline Hall, and her salary has,
TO my knowledge, reached $500 n week.
Another royal beauty, who commenced
about the same time and at the same
age, was Mary Anderson; and still an
other is Lillian Russell. These women
were all talented, but no one VIII deny
that their beauty was great asset.
Great and beautiful women are Maxine
Elliott and her sister, Gertrude. 1t is
well known that they were not rich
girls. and had they not been handsome
they would probably never have had
the opportunity TO grace the stage.
Others are Viola Allen, Florence Rob
crts, Adelaide Nelson, Amelia Bing-
ham, Henrietta Crosman. Others are too
many to mention.
Pretty soubrettes-their names are
legion. For example, Margaret Clarke,
Anna Laughlin and Clara Palmer. In
the lower rank beautiful girls may be
counted by the thousand. When we
have a high-class attraction it is quite
consistent to state that our star is n
beauty. II is an asset of extreme value
A smile on a beautiful face is a Joy
long to be remembered, and a tear on a
beautiful face is all the more pitiful
because of its sweet sadness. Beautiful
women are usually of sweet disposition,
and that is not only a valuable asset
on the stage, but il assists success.

Hammerstein always has the courage

Henrietta Crosman in Sham
One Of the successes of the season
on Broadway was scored by Henrietta
Crosman when she appeared in
Shan" at Wallack Is theater. Miss
Crosman has returned to New York
and reappeared IN the same play at
the Academy Of Music. to which big
Broadway hits eventually hnd their
way. Miss Crosman g fine, splendid
training IN high comedy and her bril-
liant method are shown to excellent
advantage in this brilliant play Of
modern life. There has, by the way,
been some talk connecting the name
of Miss Crosman and the New theater.
Whether there is anything definite in
the runoT remains TO be seen, but it

would be fine addition to the acting
