TT was one Of the professional
aphorisms Of the late Charles
Frohman that the popularity of
star lasted with the public no longer
than ten years. This astute manager
thought by that time the regular the
atregoer had grown weary Of her
beauty and was possibly full UP with
the exhibition Of her talents. Whether
he really entertained this opinion or
not. he expressed it. But always there
were some of his most fascinating
stars to give a living answer to this
charge; and II was a negative. Among
his own forces, there were attractive
women to prove that what he had
diagnosed in more or less OF an cpl
gram as the taste Of the public was
not In the least its taste. Maude
Adams had long been a star before he
said that a decade exhausted the pub
lie popularity OF an actress Miss
Adams continues to this day the most
beloved actress before the public. Her
audiences are to this day larger than
those OF any other actress. She hap
pens this year to be Ill. Her company
has been disbanded to await her re-
turn TO the footlights next season.

OF course. Miss Adams Is not the
only actress to stand the test of public
nckleness for a score of years. The
lovely Ethel Barrymore, now In the
full bloom OF her youth and beauty,
has been before the public for twenty
wears. Marie Tempest has long since
passed by some ten years or more the
limit set for the popularity Of the
woman star and Mrs. Fiske, who was
never as much feted as she was last
winter, has been before tho public as
star since the early sos Maxine
Elliott acted with Edward willard In
his repertoire of PLAYS at the old Star
Theatre N 1890. That marked the be-
ginning % her career as an actress.
Julia Marlowe acted first as a star in
New York in 1887 Since that time
she has spent many months before
this public. Sometimes she has played
alone and sometimes In association
with z. H. sothern. But she was not
allowed in spite OF her long years of
service to retire. She is now to return
The sun., 1919-06-01

to the largest audiences that ever
greeted her on her tour OF the
West. So successful has been the tour
OF Ethel Barrymore this year that II
has been several times extended, and
she will not begin until later than
usual to pose before the camera to
make up for any deficit in the dra-
matte returns of the season. You see,
all these actresses were this year
lucky enough to have vehicles which
the public liked. So their success
was as great as II they were new faces
before the public.
Julia Marlowe, who has been for
thirty years before the public. simply
could not retire when she wanted to.
We were constantly in receipt of re-
quests Tor a few farewell perform
ances, and II looked as if there would
be no question OF mo- for an answer.
1t Is In response to this earnest de-
mand from oil over the country that
Miss Marlowe and Mr.. Sothern will go
back to the stage for several more OF
the Shakespearian dramas. Nobody
seems to have supplanted her in the
affections Of the public during this
time OF her retirement. So you see
It is altogether impossible to make any
hard and fast rules as TO the length
Of time an artist can hold her own
before the public.
IT should say, however. that no
single element IL as important as the
play. II that be of the kind that APP
peals to the public, then success will
come. since in addition to the popu-
larity OF the actress there Is the po-
tential power Of the play to draw the
audiences that may not have heard
Of her. Such combination Is power
full. Nobody will talk about the ten
year limit after seeing the box office
statement OF the engagements OF such
actresses as those we have been dis
cussing."
Daniel Frohman's ideas.
Mr.. Frohman said: ITO say that
ten years is the limit OF an actresses
favor and popularity with the theatre
public is not a true statement. An
actress can. interest the public in her
art and skill as a stage artist SO long
as she can direct and control the power
Of her dramatic expression,

decay and weakness: for the power of

MAKE COOPERATIVE
 SHIPMENT OF HOGS

Arrangements have been made by County Agent Leland Bunch to ship out one or two carloads of fat hogs co-ppera- lively from Batesville between the fifteenth and the twentieth of February. State Marketing Agent J. Hull will be present and help in marking and bill- ing the hogs belonging to the different farmers. MT. Tull's experience will help materially i'll making a success of this, the first cooperative shipment of live stock from Independence County.
 Cooperative shipping of live stock has been extensively
The Newark journal., 1919-02-06

done in many states and to a rather limited extent in Ark ansas. It has been the popular way of disposing of surplus stock wherever it has been tried and no doubt the farmers of this county will welcome the opportunity it offers. The hogs will be shipped to St.Louis and Government man will be there to look after the interests of the shippers when the cars ar rives.
 County Agent Bunch expects to make some cooperative shipments of live stock from Newark just as soon as the far mers are ready to dispose of their stock. Likely one or more cars can be shipped from here during the month of February.
