was caste in the theater-a differ
ent sort Of caste maybe from that
outside, because the whole object of
II 10 TO impress the outsider rather
than the actor or actress. The lead
ing lady might be on the friendliest
sort of terms with the other men,
bers Of the company, but for pur-
poses Of carrying the managerial
front" properly she is required to
live differently from them, and to
contract bills that are maddening.
She Is given large salary-that Is
the manager tells the public he pays
her large salary. and he frequently
ary. after she has paid the bill for
the costumes, she Is also required
to pay for a state room on a rail-
road train. a suite Of apartments
at the most expensive hotel in the
cities visited on tour, and to eat and
the hotel menu. She must have
smart maid. she must also have a.
automobile. IL she is permanent
stock leading woman. or rent one
while on the road. And her auto
mobile must be of the finest type.
Also, her street clothes mean some
thing. for II would never do to have
leading lady wear anything but the
finest quality street clothes.
Loses on SI,ooo a week.
Most of all this is unnecessary-in
fact practically all of 1t is unneces-
sary. But the managers do not
think so. They require it of their
lead. A very well known leading
woman recently told writer for a
dramatic paper that she was paid
81 900 per week for a limited engage
ment with the big stock company.
This actress declared that she could
not pay the bills the management
insisted on her contracting with the
salary she received. One item alone,
that cost $50 per day, gives some
thing Of an idea of what this young
woman was called upon to undergo.
She declared II was an actual fact
that her engagement IN that par
ticular city made 1t necessary for her
to draw on her savings to meet all
her bills.
This. of course. Is an extreme case.
But 1t is not at all overdrawn. There
are hundreds Of young women who
are wearing themselves out as lead
ing ladies In this country-wearing
themselves out much sooner than
would be the case in any other busi-
ness. The minute the freshness Of
youth disappears-or the minute they
reach the stage where even grease
paint won't cover I'D the lines that
care and toll has caused-just that
minute they lose their value as lead
ing women. Take 1t all in all. there
are lots of hall bed rooms occup' ed
by stenographers and saleswomen
that are more comfortable and salts
flying than the bed of roses the
leading lady is supposed to occupy.
To most of them. the great trouble
about being leading lady is that
they are compelled to remain so far
in front that they get very, very
lonely and very. very tired.

stated that the naughty person seen
riding around town in a luxurious IL
mousine frequently would much
rather be helping mother wash the
dishes in cozy apartment kitchen.
There probably isn't a single lead
Ing lady who would admit this. But
1t Is one of the hidden facts of the
theatrical business. It is a very curl

can be wrapped up in such a curl
ously unsuitable package. Yet 1t is
true in many. many cases.

A leading lady holds her position
because she has learned to work
hard in going after 1t and can't get
rio Of the habit You'n note said
she holds her position that way.
There are numerous instances of
leading ladies who did not get their
positions that way-but ii might al
SO be noted that they did not hold
them. The only way the job can be
successfully held is to work, work,
work all the time and when not ac-

companies he can reach during the
course of d season.
Once selected, the leading lady
talks over the part with the manager
for the purpose of getting an idea
of the costumes. Every woman the
atergoer knows what the costumes
on the stage mean to her. Actress
es not only set the styles. but main
tain them. The matter of costumes
gives the leading woman consider
ably more trouble than the work OF
learning her part Very often they
mean a trip to Europe. Not a pleas
ure trip-but a trip made for the
purpose of getting certain effects IN
dress and hats and shoes and gloves
and wraps, etc. More often yet the
costuming of a part means long
hours spent with a dressmaker, 60
ing over designs, trying to keep the
cost down as much as possible and
yet get the right materials and the
smart" appearance that is absolute
ly essential. And this applies with
equal force to the leading woman OF
a stock company as with a produc-
ton. In the stock company the trou-
bles are doubled by the fact that a
new set OF costumes must be proyid-
ed for every play and no costumes
can be worn twice In the same sea-
son. The dresses are not only made
ly of the most perishabl stuff-like
chiffons and the like, which do not
keep their fresh appearance through
very many wearings and must be
duplicated frequently during a sea-
son.
Probably no young woman would
object to continually fitting herself
out with new dresses-most of them
look upon IL as one of the supreme
pleasures of life. But the pleasure
is just a little bit cIoyed by the fact
that the price of each bit Of material
and the cost Of making It up come
from the pocket book Of the leading
lady herself. in a vast majority Of
cases.
Pocketbooks Hard Hit.
OF course. there are some mana
gers who supply costumes-but they
are not many. when the play is pro-
duced in modern tdress. Frequently
when big costume productions are
put on-plays of various periods de-
manding clothes that the actresses
cannot make use of in every day
life, the managers furnish part Of
them. But the majority of the lead
ing ladies of the stage, pay for their
dressing out of their own pockets.
And then there is the matter Of
the position OF the leading lady to
keep up. You wouldn't think there
