oh, | love the theater at night"
"Then you like to work all the
time?"
"Al the time. I'm never tired. And
then he told us about the days "sched-
ule, which so impressed US that we put
it in the first paragraph
DO YOU screen we'll ?"
Beautifully replied Mr.. Lowe. with
enthusiasm. We laughed. The answer
delighted us.
You know. it's strange, but we never
have seen You on the screen. But on
the stage-well, your present play, The
Son-Daughter.' is tho only thing we
haven't seen you in, and that only be-
cause you opened while we were out Of
! town. In 'The Roads of Destiny last
season we saw you six times. Did you
like The Roads of Dcstiny'e
Better than anything | ever had
done
And The Walk Offs we'll, we only
saw YOU in that once. Did you like
The Walk ONs'?'
II think | hear somebody calling
me- answered Mr.. Lowe. Aud he really
did. They were going to take the scene
to find out it he liked "The Walk Offs"
SO we never shall know.
Mr.. Lowe returned ioyously "I'vc
finished" he said. What do you think
of that, and it's only ) o'clock, If
you'll wait I'll have my makeup off In
a iifFy, and I'll take you crosstown."
The studio is on Second Avenue.
Wait" we answered. "You aren't
going to walk ?"
Not this time Wen ride, and III
have time to get some dinner before
go to the theatre tonight"
DO you usually dispense with din
ner?"
We'll, you see, sometimes I can't
make it and | have to eat something
with one hand while | make up with
the other. Not that it matters.'
Oh, those healthy people who can
walk ten miles, work twenty hours
day and go without eating.
And on the way across town we
learned that Mr.. Lowe has been on the
stage only eight years, that he started
in stock on the Western Coast aud that
he never has played in East Lynne"
Lena Rivers nor "Unclc Toms Cabin"
He also mentioned no desire to play
Hamlet. Edmund Lowe is entirely

rather see Bill Hart act than Sister

Miss Lehman is just twenty. While
she has shown extraordinary power as

to play comedy. perhaps farce. But
notwithstanding these desires, she is
ready and willing to play any sort Of

This was depressing nests, for Leon

New York Girl Made
Her First Dramatic Hit

Usually when a new, young actress

production the management digs deep
into the mine of biographical data and
finds that the new favorite halls from

Also that she came to New York to
make her way in a big, cruel world.
and back home on the farm there's a
big. two story, old fashioned house
That's usually the way Of it, ard
usually the truth. But not so in the
case of the slender, blue-eycd little
girl who spraag into prominence with
the opening of "For the Defense" at
the Playhouse. This young actress is
Winifred Lehman. She didn't have to
come to New York-she was born here.
She also was educated here, went to
dramatic school here, hunted a Job
here, got it, and made her debut in a
New York theatcr before a New York
audience.
But because she happened 10 be born
within subway distance of the theatrical
district it doesn't follow that Miss Leni-
nan, who is just as naive and pretty as
she can be, didn't have her own little
trials. She did. Obstacles popped up
right and left, not the least of which
was the determination of her mother
that she should be a school teacher.
Perhaps il was the thought Of a
school teachers rather uncertain fu-
ture and wages that led Miss Lehman to
hesitate before entering Smith College.
She had been graduated from Bryant
High School, Long Island City And
she had been a good student. Her
room at Smith had been reseryed-but
