intensely than anything else

it, as most people do. Books aren't an

The more Miss Clayton reads the
more she discovers that most of the

very much mLsrepre sented.

gloomy, Ibsen is the most invigorating

plays to show that the only thing
worth while was what he called the
joy of life. Yet people pronounce him
an incurable pessinist." = -:

She is wonderful and gets just what
| meant when l wrote the part. don't

have looked and acted it so we'll. I
frequently direct my own plays, as
think an author should, but in this
one merely made few suggestions.
Some of them were written into the

with the star. This is what | wrote
about ,Cordela at her first entrance"
He read from the manuscripts:
'Cordelia CON meeting Kingston, the
man with whom she eloped to- Europe
after her husband had divorced her
and then shipped him back on the next
steamer: How charming it is to see
you again. How rejuvenating! 1t is
quite some time since we met; isn't
it? | should say "since we parted"'
She says this with the utmost delicacy
of impertinence. looking disconcerting-
ly at him, challenging him to raise
quibble. She challenges throughout
with a subtle brazenness, delicate de-
fance, effrontery refined to an art, yet
none the less affronting. A woman,
looking at a glance thirty-hve, who
could pass, on pinch, for less, and
who can easily defy the four or FIVE
years more which are in truth hers;
woman with a captivating, if non-ana-
lyzable, beauty; slim, modish, soigne; a
personality brittle, crystalline, flash
of lightning across leaden sky)."
Where do you get it, Mr.. Hur-
but?" asked the astonished interview
er. Are you married."
ooh, no." replied the analyst of
the fair sex. "Im every inch bach
elor-a real one, you know-not
divorced or anything like that"
well, where do you get the inside
woman stuff ?"
"Oh. go about a good deal; l have
lots of women friends"
And don't they object to being
pictured on the stage-held up for the
public to laugh at?"
"Why, no. You see, they don't rec
ognize themselves, because l don't take
any one entire character and portray
her. It is just unconscious observa-
ton Of the little things which come
back to me as l write
''And do you write anything besides

poems?"
Nothing but plays. Aud never did.
l never did anything else except try
to be an artist. l studied drawing and
tried to be an illustrator, but either I
didn't get hold of it or it didn't get

time to it." /
