One of the greatest difficulties they
had was to find young lady for the
role of SANDER. This liz characteI
that carries with 1t the eternal indict-
ment against womanhood. Until 1t
was seen by the actors that Slander

trouble was found in selecting young
miss for the role OF Deceit
Three of the most important char
acters in Experience" are Passion,
Intoxication and Frailty. The great
est possible care had to be used In
selecting young lady for Fraiity. and
as for Passion. it was found that the
greatest discrimination must be used
In selecting an actress for this role.
To put vulgar woman In the part
of Passion would make IL absolutely
repulsive and So II was found neces-
eary to find an actress who had both
breeding and personality, and particu-
larry must she be a capable actress
to play the part of Passion.
For Intoxication 1t was discovered
that the only one who could play this
role without offense was a young lazy
whose strongest beverage came from
the soda water fountain. For HoJse
