ure, and such things that do not CON
tribute to business. DR.. Murray con-
cluded his remarks by declaring that
each one must be ready to do first-class
work, using only frst-class methods,
and that hard work, truthfulness, sobri-
ETY., faithfulness and honesty made up
the efficiency list where success in busi-
ness life is desired and demanded.
So attentive and apparently inter
ested were the students in listening 10

Murray remarked afterward how i'm
pressed he was on the type of students

MISS MYRTLE GILBERT,
With "The Midnight Girl"
GRACE GEORGE HERE TOMORROW


Grace George, who comes to
The Playhouse in Clyde's Fitch's
brilliant comedy, "The Truth" tomor-
row. is firm in the conviction that
sincerity in stage art is the most po-
tent factor in success behind the foot
lights.
Whether / am portrayng Lady
Teazle in "rhe School FOR Scandal or
Becky Warder in The Truth says
Miss George, Il try to bring to my
work all the earnestness and serious
ness Of which I am capable Many
people in my own profession imagine
that comedy is a frivolous form Of the
drama and can be treated with jocu
lar and superficial methods that they
would not employ in enacting an emo
tiOnal drama, or a poetic tragedy. But
they are laboring under a tremendous
delusion. In order TO carry cOnvic-
tion with an audience, you must be
sincere and as deadly in earnest in
comedy as in heavy work You can
not play at will on the feelings Of an
audience and excite them to either
tears or laughter unless you are SEN
sibly affected yourself by the situa-
tiOn evolved by the dramatist For
example. the character of Becky
Warder, which I portray in The
Truth, was drawn by Mr. Fitch in
the earlier scenes Of the play in a
spirit of lightness and winsomeness.
But there is q strong undercurrent Of
feeling in Beclzys nature which must
be indicated throughout, so that when
the strong and poignant climax is
oh Hn Hrtff foil
the audience who have regarded Bee
ky as a mendacious creature with
tremendous powers for glib falsehood,
will realize that there is a depth Of
sensibility TO the woman almost un-
suspected by herself.
There are hundreds OF young peo-
pie who fancy they would make good
actors because their feelings are
easily aroused. Many actors really
do suffer with TIE characters they re-
present. but this does not necessarily
make their work appear true to the
spectator There IS q vast amount OF
difference between suffering oneself
and causing an audience to believe
one is suffering Sensibility Is an
admirable quality In an actor, ii pro-
perly held in check. bu. too much
sensibility Will mar the effect of a
performance. One rs natural, the
other artificial and nature is not
usually effective on the stage. What
the French call the optic Of the
theatre makes nature appear out Of
perspective and true coloring. When
you hear an actor called magnetic,
it means. think that he Is serious
and sincere in his work and conse-
quently succeeds in interesting the
audience in his personality"

aTHE MIDNIGHT GIRL

Miss Louise Mink, playing one OF
the principal roles in "The Midnight
Girl" which comes to The Playhouse
Saturday afternoon and night. is said
to be one Of the most eXpensiyeiy
dressed women on the atage; and she
has a penchant for everywhere
she goes it is her custom to look
for new styles. She divides her
shoes and slippers into these classi-
fications: Evening Dress, Tango,
Lingerie, Ballet, Walking Slippers or
Pumps. Afternoon and Evening.
OF shoes, she has various weights
for walking, motoring, and riding.
There are suede, leather, cloth tops,
and what-nOt. For each gown she
has special shoes which match in
color. These do not include her
stage slippers, pumps and shoes. For
these the styles may be q little more
pronounced and the coiors more
vivid She is particularly fond OF
gold shoes. at least, of the golden
hue and some are tinted silver and
even bronze. The size-gell, that is
one thing Miss Mink ioes not tell.
They are ever SO tiny, but the secret
as to their size rests with their
maker in Paris.
Many makers of note send her
samples which frequently are turned
over to her maid, for Miss Mink will
wear nothing unless it is made especi-
ally for her. She is said to have
many clever ideas as 10 designs.
and while her ideas are extravagant,
she can afford to pay the piper
The public. naturally, is interested
IN what she wears. Her costumes
are the center of interest wherever
she goes, but Miss Mink realizes that
every detail must be perfect, and she
aims for a pleasing tout ensemble II
her hat is of a certain period, then
it must perforce, match her dress,
and her stockings and shoes or slip
pers must be of the same style. Her
