SILK Culture a Failure

All the early attempts to establish
silk culture in America were failures.
The first trial was under Cortez, in
Mexico, In 1922. James 1 was no
more successful than Cortez when he
attempted in 1909 and 1922 to rein
state the silk worm. Benjamin Frank
lin and others were engaged in re-es-
tablishing the industry at the time
the Revolutionary war broke out. A
speculative mania swept America In
1898, and as late as 1855 the state of
California offered bounties to silk pro-
ducers, but the last serious attempt
at such production was in 1926. Ref
erence has been made here, of course,
only to pure silk and not to any of
the artificial silk fabrics which flood
the market In many variations.

Sympathy Keynote of Success
In Drama, Says Elsie Ferguson

Sympathy is the very keynote of
dramatic success, in the opinion of
Miss Elsie Ferguson, famous act
ress, now appearing in "Close Quar-
tiers" For how can you portray
character" she asks, "unless YOU
have the power to think its
thoughts, feel as it feels, find with
in yourself every motive that moves
it? And even that sensitiveness to
the mind and personality of another
is not enough. Besides feeling the
reasons for the motives and acts of
the person you seek to portray, you
must have for these a sympathetic
understanding. This does not mean
that you must be sanity to repro
duce the picture of saint, or base
to show the baseness of a villain.
Shakespeare was neither saint nor
villain, yet he could touch at will
every emotional and intellectual key
between the two"
Intolerance is an absolute bar to
success in the drama, thinks Miss
Ferguson. "For intolerance is based
upon hatred and fear and these emo
lions freeze up the channels of ex-
preston" she says. "But intoler-
ance is rare" she adds, 1.-The business
of portraying many characters gives
one gradually a sense of unity with
all humankind. One finds every
potentiality of good and evil within
ones own soul. And in the average
person the good so greatly predorni-
mates; divinity is so thinly yelled,
that the sincere artist must come
eventually to feeling of respect for
all mankind and very real attitude
Of humbleness within his own heart"
Next to sympathy and tolerance,
appreciation is the greatest aid to
success upon the stage, Miss Fer
guson believes. "Many generous
and kindly people shower the artist
with greeting cards after success
full performance. The joy and in
spiratiOn conveyed BY these bright
symbols Of approval and encourage
ment, can scarcely be exaggerated.
The custom Of sending greeting
cards to artists has come to be a
very real impetus to the production
Of fine art"
"Do you absolutely lose yourself,
Smyrna times., 1927-01-26

forget your own individuality, in the
character you are playing? ?" Miss
Ferguson was asked.
"That would be fatal to good art"
she replied. "There are two schools
Of thought upon this subject. One
advocates the complete submergence
Of the artists personality in that of
the character The other pictures
the artist standing, so to speak, be
hind the character he plays, his arms
extending under those of the char
acter whom he moves about at will,
remaining mentally, within the
character and yet outside and above
it; at all times watching and listen
ing to his own performance. This
latter school is far truer to condi-
tions and leads to better art. Com
bine the keen and critical method of
character portrayal with a deep, in
tuitive sympathy for others and you
have an excellent foundation for sue
cess in the drama"

YOUTH THE PERIOD
TO STOCK MEMORY
For Loneliness Incident to
Old Age.

William Mathews, popular essay
list of a generation ago, whose books
are filled with delightful quotations,
found these illustrations of his sub
ject, not by painful research, at the
time of writing, but already in the
stores that he had laid up in his mind
through a long life of reading.
Nature had undoubtedly supplied
him with a strong memory, but he had
exercised it and cultivated 1t from
boyhood, with the result that it grew
stronger with use. This had further
result which involves a suggestion to
young people, one that, if followed,
they will find not only important at
the time, but a source of great salts
faction when they grow old.
Memorizing is often a term of con
tempt, and justly so when it means
the substitution of memory for under
standing. 1t was one of the wise
counsels of Professor Child of Har-
ward that students should leave the
mere facts in the reference books
where they belong and store their
minds with the meat rather than the
dry bones of knowledge. This advice
is unquestionably sound, yet there is
q field for memorizing.
Youth is the time for learning by
heart Mental impressions are read
lily made and, with an occasional
freshening, become permanent, far
more enduring, in fact, than the re-
suits of later study, even though
gained with greater effort. The mem
oriZing referred to is the memOriZing
of literature, poetry and essays, great
passages from the historians and the
nOveliSts.
Such passages are sources not only
of pleasure but OF words, dfctiOn,
style and sentisnent. A mind so fur
nished never can be lonely, and this
fact was beautifully illustrated in the
experience of Professor Mathews him
self
When he was nearly ninety he suf-
fered from a fall which made him bed
ridden for the rest of his life. But
these years of helplessness were not
passed in discomfort or repining. As
he said to a younger friend, Il am
happy in the company of the great
minds of the world. When l was
young l committed to memory many
pages of their writings. Now these
come back to me at Will, and they
till my hours of solitude with the rich
est satisfaction
One may well hope not to end his
days helpless in bed, but all who live
to old age have their hours of soli-
tude, and in all periods of life we are
apt TO be alone on walks or on jour
neys. On our walks, certainly, it is
not feasible to read, but what salts
faction 1t is to accompany our steps
with the measure of great poetry or
to give a noble landscape the setting
Of noble thoughts. Every year some
new form of insurance is devised, but
none has yet been put on the market
to insure old age against unhappiness.
Here is a form of insurance that, If
not warranted to afford complete pro-
lection against the ills of advancing
years, will certainly, If taken out early
in life and its payments faithfully
made, result in a large measure Of
comfort in old age. AS with all in
surance, youth is the best time to be-
gin, but for this any time will do
