of the Express, who has met with con-
siderable success as composer.
The production, according to those
who have had the pleasure of read
ing of it, works out peculiar idea OF
the author in regard to the woman
suffrage movement. which is just now
beginning to make itself felt in this
country. The action is brisk, and the
dialogue and stage business tunny
enough to make the thing go.
IT seems that many of the good things
are reserved for the Lenten season, for
Immediately after the week OF grand
onera Robert Mantell in Shakespearean
works will open at the Mason. Mr..
Mantell is ranked with Edwin Booth
and is probably the greatest living ex-
ponent of the immortal bard. Some
body is going to break his Lenten reso-
lutions if he does not wish to lose one
of the big opportunities of the dramatic

season. In "a Mans World" MISS
Crothers is said to have violated many
traditional rules time-honored in play
writing, and the result has been
drama in which the characters act out
a story that is really like scene from
the life chapters of certain NUMBER
of people, while the dialogue and SIT
uations are said to be essentially What
they would have been by the incidents
in ga Mans World" taking place in
real life, as if the authoress had been
merely an onlooker or, reporter 10
afterward set them down exactly as
they had occurred.
For in this new play Miss Crothers
has only a few people, and they all
of an age where youth and love and
emotion are perhaps at their best.
Since playwriting began the dramatic
author as a rule followed out the time
honored custom and provided leading
man and a leading woman, villain,
q juvenile man, d colneuldll an oiu
man and an old woman, and perhaps
a maid or a man servant. Only few
of these are in Miss Crothers play.
OF course there are two leading char
acters, but there is no villains unless
the character of the Italian songstress
may be taken as such. Complications
| created by this songstress are not
| brought about through any malicious
! designs, but rather because she desired
| yl,nf1 oh 0at
an alliance which she thinks would
not prove happy. Notable to relate,
there is no comedian in the play in
| the sense that the public is used to
| expect, but the comedy is furnished
| by nearly all the characters, and no
one of them makes business of being
funny throughout the whole play. Still
more notable to relate. there is no old
man or old woman, for every char
acter is supposed to be person be-

asset, but it will not carry a girl to
real success unless supported by gray
matter ambition and common sense.
Given ordinarily good features, good
carriage, the ability to carry smart
clothes, which comes largely from
good carriage, and quantities of gray
matter and I'll back any American
girl for success against the merely
pretty face which lasts a season or
two in musical comedy choruses.
Success on the stage is won not
through any one characteristic, but
through a curious combination oil many.
The stage-struck girl should have good
health to withstand the strain of long
hours, constant travelling, poorly
cooked food. She should be above all
things adaptable. No Stenographer or
department store clerk would think of
deriving her chief without expecting
immediate dismissal. But many a
stage-struck girl thinks she could do
| this and escape on the score OF the
artistic temperament
The stage-struck girl must possess
enormous capacity for work. 1t is not
enough to study your lines and go
| through the part as the stage direc-
tor requires If you are to advance
! YOU must grow mentally You must
learn to expand your part not in words
| or what is known as stage business,
| but in characterization, the natural
strength which you put into your in
| terpretation, the personal magnetism
which you exert over your audience,
which can all be summed up in the
word sincerity" The playwright can
1 give you the most charming lines, the
| stage director can give you the most
carefully thought out business, and the
! manager the most beautiful of Partisan
raiment but unless you give forth sim
] cerity you cannot succeed as an
actress, and sincerity Is built on brains,
the gray matter which consider infin-
itely more important as an asset than
a Cupid's bow mouth, eyes like velvet
pools and dimpled chin.
