On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
Be NO Compromise
How the Actress Succeeds

use your head Don't complain. Try an
other way. If you want magazines to ac-
cept your stories see what kind they have
been printing and send in that kind-at
first, anyway, until you have secured rep
utation. There are quite as many conven-
tons, prejudices, habits, and traditions In
the theatre as in the church. Keep the
rules-until you are big enough TO break
them.
Third Work. Get all the education and
special training possible before you begin,
and after you have begun keep on learning
and training. The continual success is con-
tinually at school, =
And, fourth, you must get chance.
While real and inward success, of course,
does not depend at all upon chance but is
automatically certain if you observe the
spiritual laws, it is not SO with getting on in
the world, nor in any trade, calling, or pro-
fession thereof.
There Il tide In the AFFAIRS OF men
Which taken at It's flood leads fortuna
Worldly success depends on two things
You and Events. There can be no doubt
that luck has had to do with all Of US.
The trouble is that some of US are not
equipped and ready for luck when it comes.
And sometimes it does not come.
It's Game, Great Adventure. You
must play it hard, yet always be above 1t,
ready at any time to. drop it for things
more worth while
Acting is Play. But behind all perfect
Play stands deal of Hard Work.

There are thousands of girls who are
anxious to go on the stage. Every city has
hundreds The story of Elise Bartlett, who
has been playing in please Get Married"
at the Fulton Theatre, and her advice TO
these girls is suggestive.
She was born in Union City, Tenn. She
began by getting a solid education at home
girls everywhere that no girl should go
on the stage unless she has a good home
or an income. She goes on TO say: 'The
first two years of stage salary do not yield
enough pay even for clothes. Besides hav-
ing a good home or an income, girls should
thoroly ground themselves educationally for
the work. Lessons in English, French, elo-
cution, singing. fencing, dancing, boxing
should form part Of the curriculum. After
that-go into stock. There is no better
school of the theatre than stock, provided
one doesn't take the lesson too long. After
your stock season, If you have managed to
land a Broadway job, be careful of what
you do in your spare time. Take further
lessons in the things you feel you lack, so
that you may be equipped TO stand on the
top terrace instead Of barely hanging by the
bottom rung Of the ladder"

the rules"
3. You must work hard.
q. And you must get chance.
As TO number one, you must believe thor
oily in your own ability and you must
get other people to believe in it. Neither
will do without the other.
The second point means that you waste

Of believing that it is merely an

but beware of any cold that

In fact, in many instances it is a
forerunner of the most dreaded
of all diseases-consumption
Don't permit yourself to be de-

you are about ready to believe
that the disease is incurable, and
that you are doomed to spend
the remainder of your days
hawking and splitting, with no
relief in sight from inflamed and

make the days miserable and the
nights sleepless.
If you are in the grasp of Ca
