BEING MERMAID ISN'T so EASY =

New York, Dec. lot isn't neces-
sary to have a little fish tell you that
playing mermaid is the hardest kind
of work. Just ask Miss Emily Stew
ems. who is playing Swanhild, the
mermaid daughter of the King of the
sea. in The Garden of Paradise
Miss Stevens had essayed many
stage. but they were child's play
compared with what she has to do as
Il spectacular mermaid.

Of stage realism playing a mermaid

said Miss Stevens after she had re-
sumed her human shape one evening
last week. There have been other
plays. Peter Pan, for instance. which
required a little wire work. but in this
production l am suspended for nearly
forty minutes in two scenes In the first

we are afraid of it; then is it wrong
to show sympathy for its victims? Is
it wrong to show mercy?
And if there has not been poverty,
but has been parental neglect, a
weak, selfish mother or a father who
thought too much of business and
too little of his children, and the chill
dren, unguided, stumble into sin, are
you going to punish the children?
Or the father?
And since we haven't yet reached
the place where we have. the courage,
after we have traced crime to it's
origin, to punish those directly re-
spOnsible, what will you gain by
Furnishing the children? You won't
stop other unguided boys and girls
from stumbling in the same way.
Don't you think it is just and fair
to show them mercy and to sympath-
ize with them?
AS for the failure-Who has the
right to say what man or woman is
a failure? Surely l have not, and l
would not attempt the task, for I
have known men and women that
the world called failures and have
found them to be the worlds greatest
successes because they spread happi-
ness and kindness and sweetness all
about them, and l enyied them as l
never envied the man or the woman
upon whom the world had set it's
stamp of approval.
I remember. a visit l made to an
old man who was i'll unto death in
room that had one chair, and table
with the leg fastened with string;
torn curtain that hung heavy with
the weight of dirt, and a couch with
a tattered cover and no sheet.
He was failure as the world
counts success, and yet, how I en-
Wed him! For he loved everyone,
felt only kindness toward everyone,
and he regretted leaving a world that
had been cruel to him because he had

we haven't the courage to punish
those : directly responsible for the
crime.
And 1 am afraid must make the
same reply to my correspondent that
made to my teacher: 1 cannot help
it if you don't like my sympathiz-
ing with Criminals and failures"
because I like to do it and Pm going
to keep right on doing it.
