"THE FAMOUS MRS. FAM

Fortunately for the American stage
there are still actors and actresses
who take their art seriously; players
who are imbued with a sense OF the
Importance OF their calling and with
vision sufficiently keen to enable
them to direct their energies along
lines that will develop their art CON
sistently. In this category belong
Henry Miller and Blanche Bates,
earnest thespians, who long ago aim
ed at high ideals and who have
steadfastly refused to deviate from
the path that leads to the desired
goal. As opponents OF the art Of
artistic dramatic expression they
stand apart from the rank and file
OF their colleagues. Their names
will go down in theatrical history
classed with the foremost stage ar
lists OF their day.
