"Bernhardt still appeals to audiences;
| and how many times ten years has she
been on the stage? Among our own
stars consider the matchless Mrs
Fiske, who confesses to more than
forty years as an actress. OF course
| there Is only one Bernhard; only one
Mrs. Fiske. Each is blessed with the
! spark of true dramatic genius. But
| how each has worked to foster that
| spark! And that Is another secret of
| sustaining popularity-really the com
prehensive secret of the whole matter.
For only work can keep the mind and
body young"
