T is the closing night of one OF

to her in admiration and love. She

is Jessie Bonstelle, actress.

of one Of the big powers in the stage

or more men and women awaiting 4
moments interview. and knowing
they will gain inspiration from it,
even if no work is the outcome. She
Is their opportunity--and their friend.
This is Jessie Ronstelle. producer.
For four months of the year Jessie
Bonstelle is the actress, but for tho
other eight she plays the bigger role
of producer. Years at the head OF
her own stock companies, where she
acts, directs. designs scenery, selects
music, and is in fact the one respon-
sibie for and the one who provides
the inspiration for the whole produc-
ton, have particularly fitted her for
the smallest detail that escapes her
sharp eye, and not the hardest prob
lem that she is afraid to tackle.
Born for the Stage.
Jessie Bonstelle belongs to tho
stage. She was given to it--con-
secrated to it almost, before ever she
was born. The youngest of children,
her mother who. dearly loved the
stage and everything connected with
II, dreamed of the realization of her
own ambitions and ideals through
her youngest child. II was almost
born in theater," Miss Bonstelle
explained, for my mother attended
a matinee the very day came into
the world
So though her father did not ap-
prove. when at the age of Is Jessie
Bonstelle wanted to leave the little
town near Rochester that was her
home, her mother helped and en-
aged her. One glance at the
firm, determined mouth of Miss
Bonstelle herself. however, would
lead one to believe that even without
her mothers assistance no opposition
would have kept the girl from lead
ing the life she wanted to.
This Arm mouth was called upon
many a time to prove its strength
during the first years OF her profess
sional life. and indeed it plays an
important part throughout her life.
To 1t and the never-say-die spirit 1t

great4et measure of her success.

"Poise the soul and the entire
muscular system MiH poise ITSELF
tDelsdrte.
r. HE question of poise, mental.
/ moral and physical. cannot be
too strongly emphasized. TO attain
poise of mind the mental machinery
must become balanced and correct.
To attain poise of body all It's MEM
bers must be taught to combat grav-
ity. The secret Of poise. especially
physical poise. lies in our ability TO
overcome the natural tendency OF
the sag.
Every organ in the being has its
place and use, and when the great
human machine works in unison po,se
is at once established. With control
at the center and freedom at the ex-
tremities we are able to perform
good work. to live in accord with
nature and to face our fellow beings
fearlessly. confidently. But when
any member Of the being. no matter
how remote from the center, becomes
unbalanced. restricted, over-indulged
or strained, a reflex action immedi-
ately takes place throughout the en-
tire organism. Why. you ask? Be-
cause the harmony of poise is in
terrupted and tho individual must
pay for the la1ness in suffering.
Weight on Heels Wrong.
Ninety per cent of people stand
with body weight upon the heels.
thus throwing the whole organ sm
cut Of tune, The major portion OF
the weight should always rest upon
the balls of the feet. where nature
intended. Unless this primal law Is
observed and strictly adhered to the
individual will become a victim Of
premature old age.
When the weight of the body rests
directly over the balls of the feet
normal position is at once attained.
The lips curve slightly backward,
the chest and head are highly poised
the abdomen is indra WI, the hump
disappears from the back and every
organ in the being is given ar oppor-
tunity to do its work harmoniousiy.
When we stand correctly it Is ap-
parent to even the nneducated, The
most casual observer notes the con-
trast between the poised and the
IMPOSED man or woman. Once cor
rect pose is established IT Is seldom
that the individual ever again goes
back to abnormal postures.
Poise means dignity. power pur-
pose, confidence and well balanced
being.
Begin today. Let psyche physical
culture teach you the secret of poise.
Let it teach you center poise. MUS
rhythm. Let it teach you how to have
confidence in yourself
