1t is estimated that in the city

upon the stage each year, that is,

and road engagements, and that
500 are placed each season in opera
companies.
'Tis true that great many of
the aspirants are giddy, frivolous,

no more fitted, as Harry Hayward
says, to grace the footlights than
they are to run an electric light

stand any chance of obtaining a
position are educated and refined,
and many of them are young maids
coming from wealthy homes. R
Our greatest actresses of today
are women who have been reared
in homes of refinement and luxury
and who, for the love of art and
the satisfaction of their ambitions,
studied years and years to become
