Is hne-really flne!" Una's eyes were
laughing as she responded: Thanks
Lettie! You don't know how your
praising me encourages me to keep
trying to get along"
Iettie flushed, and then, patiently
under restraint, suggested that Una
in her third year on the stage. not
yet 23 years old, and Of all leading
ladies the actress liked best by the
older, seasoned drama critics Of the
metropolis-was slightly catfish.
I'm not catfish, Lettie. You in
this play are box-ofiice; I am not.
I'm simply q well-known name in the
ads, and my good performance is
taken for granted. I'm staple and

player, woman or man. have no
false modesty about that.
CHE paused. then went on: what I
- lack is something that cannot be
acquired by study, practice. or skill.
It can't be counterfeited.
"You, Lettie, have something I
lack: when you walk onto the stage,
something seems to fiow out from you
into the hearts of the audience. There
are nights, as I note the public's re-
sponse to you, when feel that I
should willingly trade all I know
about the art Of acting for the some
thing that's missing-the something
which you possess so abundantly."
The young actress had been mu-
tually congenial through the run;
dined together on matinee days. made
free with each others "things"-cos-
metics and the like-and most per-

gether. The time out was the half
hour made up Of a 10-minute inter-
mission and 20 minutes at the begin
ming Of the ensuing act when neither
was on the stage. Neither had to
change clothes for the act.
Lettie was spending the half-hour
tonight in Unais dressing room, and
was aglow about the management's
compliments and the 5000 raise for
the Autumn. She was without ready
reply to Una's frank speech, and was
still trying to think of one when her
maid tapped and said:
"Your brother Is calling, Miss Let

ute, I've asked him here to Miss Una's
