''Why do you always write Of actors

Because said Miss Herne, ut is

CHILD OF THE STAGE
is MISS JULIE ElERN1E,

Daughter of Americas most popular,
and perhaps, greatest playwright, and
beautiful and talented to a degree is
Julie Herne, who is appearing this
week at the Orpheum in a little play
entitled "a Mountain Cinderella"
''You sit over there" she said to the
interviewer, who tapped on her dress
Ing room door behind the stage of the
Orpheum last evening, land I'll get my
sewing and we can talk"
She was so perfectly at home with
her sewing and in her stage costume
and makeup that the interviewer
wanted to- know when she first COM
menced her stage career.
1T was during a production Of my
fathers play, Hearts of Oak" in the
early $685." said Miss Herne. II was
then two years old. My fathers COM
pany was playing in Leavenworth,
Kan, at the time. A small child was
used in the cast. and at Leavenworth
this child was taken i'll and I was
pressed into service. I remember my
first experience WELL I was carried on.
1t was a graveyard scene and the
stage was covered with leaves. I had
lines to say and. got by without a
mistake. Later my mother told me
that I had seen the play so often that
I had memorized the lines the child

hard to believe that I can remember
when was two years old, but it's so.
When I was carried on the stage that
night the soldiers from the fort threw
money over the footlights to me- My
father took dollar that was tossed
on the stage and had my name and

which the doors of the theater should
not be closed.
"But-and this is an important con-
dition--I would see such problems
treated by masters with a serious pur
pose rather than exploited for mere COM
mcrcial profit in a sensational manner.
For the stage, I believe, is in some
sense an epitome of life, in which all
sorts and conditions struggle for wis
dom and will continue to do so''
And is the blame for the present
state of the drama to be laid entirely
at the doors of the managers or at the
feet of the actors?"
Not entirely" declared Miss Mar
lowe, "for the audiences have a large
share in the responsibility for the
pre- sent unfortunate tendency. And
am firmly convinced that the remedy
is to be sought and the cure is to
be applied quite as much beyond the
doors Of the theater as behind them"
Besides seriousness look of con-
viction cleaned from the eyes of the
actress as she delivered herself of these
opinions, and the interviewer sought
to draw from her remark upon the
much discussed object of the theater'
by asking:
'"Then you think it is the mission
of the stage to preach?"
Not to preach-at least not neces-
sarily. But l cannot subscribe to the
statement which some of my fellow
artists have been guilty of-namely,
that the theater has but one purpose,
that of amusing the audience. 1t does
not seem to me to be rational to be-
lieve that when the front doors of
theater have been banged after the
last of the audience all it's influence
ceases, that all these hundreds and
thousands of people go forth and i'm
mediately forget everything that they
have seen and heard.

movements of the kind that are said
to advance the theater. 1t has seen a
few tried, but has heard and read about
a lot Of theories that did not survive
even the test of discussion. Mind you,
I am hurting no blame at the attitude
of the theatrical producers of today, for
the very first principle upon which
theater of the ordinary kind is con-
Quoted must be principle that has
sound commercial reasons to recon-
mend it.
But the New theater will be diff
ferent. These men of wealth who have
SO generously banded together to father
this scheme are willing to assume the
inevitable deficits. With the chief
commercial considerations removed, the
main thing then will be the artistic
side And why should not the latter
flourish at the New theater? Are We
not proud in the fact that we speak
the tongue of Shakespeare. and is it
not logical that Shakespeare's plays
should prove the-what shall I say?--
the dramatic backbone of this scheme :?
So it must be. the pennant of Shake
speare must float from the masthead
of this ship of drama. We neglect
Shakespeare in America-that is an
old story which I need not 90 into here
again. So, whatever else is done at the
New theater what other plays may be
given performance, Shakespeare must

"My great regret has been that there
is not, or cannot be, one class of the
aters which shall at all times be re-
served for the presentation of the best
and highest in drama, theaters to
which the public can resort with con-
fidence and where their confidence
should never be abused. Believe me,

suitable atmosphere for the classic

rising of the curtain of 1.-THE Goddess
of Reason;' have you a specific object
in view in enforcing this rule?"
Eyes, I do it for the sake of the
audience and for my own sake. I am
fearfully susceptible to any noises that
occur in the theater during a perform
ance, and late Corners make enough
noises to break the threads of inter-
est of dozen plays. Such Interrupt
tions unnerve me completely, and
believe they annoy those who have
taken the pains to come to the theater
early. Why should the punctual ones
be the victims Of the tardy ones?
Why should half dozen interested
auditors be compelled to rise to admit
some person or some couple who have
dined we'll and too long?
1T is not fair to any one concerned:
so the rule is enforced and shall be. I
am keeping faith with the public by
having the performance begin at the
hour advertised and can only ask, in
all reason, that those who have come at
the appointed time are not cheated out

Funny how people always think af-

A man met him on the hillside. He
was bound doublequick for the church

enough, was going up.

answer was lost.

Reports compiled by Pennsylvania
railroad officials show that in the last
year 657 trespassers were killed and
791 injured on the lines. In 1907 the
traspassers killed numbered S22. These
figures are pointed to as emphasizing
the recommendations Of the state rail
road commissions of Pennsylvania and
Indiana that laws be enacted provid-
ing substantial punishment for all
trespassers. These cases of trespass,
it is declared, are not only a source
of expense and danger, but it is felt
that common humanity should prompt
