Katherine Galloway, Who
Stars In THE Masked
Model" Has Definite
Opinions Concerning the
Traditional Temperament
of Stage People.
By FLORENCE E. YoDER.
ct oUsEKEEPDRs are much


more temperamental than
i actresses ana Fingers"
said the young woman
who was being interviewed. in the
most bland manner.
And. what Is more. stage people
have more right to be temperamental
than do housewives. But Just take
everything into consideration. and
you will find out that It is true
that while we have the regulations,
the housewives have tho tcmpera-
mcnt."
In view of the fact that she was
an actres and singer herself. Que was
inclined to believe Miss Katherine
Galloway. for this interview took
place on Monday at o'clock IN the
evening, in the stars dressing room
at the National Theater, under rather
extraordinary circumstances.
After few performances IN At
lantic City. Miss Galloway was fac
ing, for the first time, her appear
ance as a comic opera star in a new
production "The Masked Model" in
a city of Importance. Not that At
lantic city is unlmportant. But
Washington Is OF more theatrical
importance than Atlantic city. just
as New York IL considered 20 be of
more importance. theAtrical!y than
Washington.
So Miss Galloway was facing what
was practically her debut. She has
sung almost all her life. and has
appeared in costume, but she never
has been an actress in the real sense
Of the word before.
On Monday night when she grant
ed the interview, she had been re-
hearslnK all day long, ard had
snatched but n few hours rest the
day before, II any. In exactly one
hour she was to appear clothed and
in her right mind ready to entertain
several hundred people. and she had
not even tried on some OF her cos
tunes. Yet there was no sign OF
temperament about her. II she had
any. 1t was artfully concealed under
a trunk. or some place else.
Actresses and singers have the
most awful reputation for tempera-
ment. but they really have not half
as much as ordinary people" re-
iterated Miss Galloway. She sat
composedly in a pink negligee, with
a twinkle in her eye and a faint
flush on her cheeks. She was having
the time OF her life being interview =
ed and somehow or other she ap-
preciated the fact.
Now. II you don't believe what
l mean Just listen to a few facts
on the case" She assumed an air
of mock seriousness, and threw her
self without reserve into the task
OF supporting her argument No
fussing about, no posing, no looking
at the clock, not even a tremor did
she give when the door opened sew

The Lovely Lady was grieved-wound-

what struggle the little new friend Is

Not to mention the fact that we
must jump from place to place.
Could the average woman who keeps

and amid strange surroundings, for
unknown people, prepare and serve
just as good a meal as we do? Even

Among the statements made by
Charles =. Hughes In the course Of
his Washington speeches Tuesday were
the following;
"A nation must be ready for every
emergency"
There is no reason why we should
not be prepared"
why invite disrespect and con-
tempt because we are unprepared? ?"
Reasonable preparedness is simply
national common sense"
we should have an efficient naval
leadership"
III we cannot protect Americans
abroad we might as well haul down
the flag"
II would not shrink from war in
performing obvious duty"
II do not think that we encounter
the dangers or war"
Il propose % wide tariff without
abuses"
"Our opponents said they would
reduce the high cost OF living Behold
the result"
Through nm unfortunate division in
the Republican party. which is now
happily healed, our opponents got into
