Talks to
Girls
By GRACE DARLING,

Il
The third great lesson the stage teaches
is the value Of background.
You know that moving picture pro
ducers spend thousands upon thousands
Of dollars to take companies Of actors
to some particular place where they may
have tropical scene, or the mountain
4 trail, or the crowded city street, TO give
the proper background 10 some drama
they are filming,
The background puts In the punch
gets the atmosphere Of the story over
to the audience. When you want to
make people cry over a starving family
you must give them background OF
bare attic. with pallet on the floor.
and tho snow drifting In through the
roof. You could never touch anyone
with the story OF their woes II you de-
pcted them sitting up surrounded by
empire furniture and grand piano.
Three-fourths Of the success or every
play depends upon the skill with which
its background Is wrought out. and the
background is Just as important in real
life as Il is on the stage. because the
things that make the deepest impression
upon us are tho things that We visualize.
This Is particularly true as regards
I the attitude Of men towards women.
Very few men ever take the trouble 10
study woman or try 10 understand
her They Just take her as they see
her and rate her as good or bad, at
tractive or unattractive according TO the
picture she makes 10 them. And this
ldepends largely upon her background.
It's because their backgrounds mean 80
much to them that I always advise girls
to stay AZ home II they possibly can, The
background Of home gives girl re-
spectahility In the eyes Of men that Moth
ing else can.
or course many girls have very dis
agreeable homes. They have tryrannical
and naEging fathers and mothers and
hateful brothers and sisters. and the
