the cares and worries OF the work-a-day
world. No work keeps a woman SO young
as work on the stage. for every day the
actress is two women-one laughing and
loving on the stage of the world, another
when she is laughing and loving or weep
ing and despairlng on the stage of the
theater. Her life is never monotonous.
Every evening. no matter what her per-
sonal feelings may be, she must envelop
herself in the personality OF the other
woman.
NO matter what bogies are being hoist
ed up before our eyes in the form Of caba-
rets, moving-picture plays, or tango teas,
1 believe that for real talent there is a
better chance today than ever for the ac-
tress- These new amusements may affect
the balcony and the gallery-I am sure
they debut not to a serious extent,
Just watch the crowds outside the thea
ters any matinee afternoon or any even
ing and you will Sc what l say is true.
Let the girl with talent try out her pow
ers in the home town stock company, and
she will soon know whether she is chosen
for this work. The chorus has been the
vehicle for a few stars, but these in
stances have been rare. A small part in
which the player announces that The
carriage waits, me lord is a waste of
time; but IL does give a girl a toe hold
that she might never get in any other
way. The best way. however. is just to
plunge in and make opportunities.

Farewell of Ysaye.

Wherever music connoisseurs are to be
found; wherever there is public which
is musically inclined. in whatever spot
Eugene Ysaye has appeared there is but
a single opinion-that the Belgian musi-
clan is the master violinist OF the world.
Some experts. whose judgment is found
ed on that calmness of mind that inspires
profound respect for their opinions. as
sert that it is a serious question IL there
ever lived a violin player who was
Ysayes equal. That any Of the cele-
brated masters of earlier periods were
his superiors seems, to them. to be out
side the range of consideration. Certain
ly since he came into the prominence he
has occupied for the past twenty years,
no other artist has been able to success
fully measure resources with him.
Ysaye will be heard for the last time
this season at, the National Theater Fri
day afternoon. April 3. at 4:3O o'clock.
