Mfy eye! but 1t was warm in the confines of the proscenium box, and wasn't I glad when u page whispered to me: “Miss Templeton aays would you run fm to sen her between the acts?” \ | He didn't say “Fay Templeton, Life-Saver of the Runaways, will see you @t the station and you will forget all about thermometers and discomforts and bave the time of your lifein the prettiest, daintiest dressing-room that ever en- ahrined an artist. But that {s what happened. A narrow, dark passage of a few uncertain steps, a door quickly opening pon a brilliantly lighted room, all a wilderness of carnation pinks—carnation Inks Scattered on the snow-white background of the wall-paper—carnation pinks imprinted on muslin hangings and draperies—enormous vases of long-stemmed fragrant carnations of all shades of pinks and reds on dressing tablex and sholves—and, standing with outstretched hands, gowned all in white, luminous- eyed, the incarnation of all the flower carnations, Fay Templeton the superb! tne a not take oft my hat actually in Miss ‘Templeton's presence I had impulse to do so—at least 1 uncov y hehe nuns!

This couple have not made advance recently and are not working as well as they did one year ago.

But somehow I fofgot the thermometer registering three figures ‘and work- ing overtime to keep up the record. I forgot everything but the domigating per- sonality of the Life-Saver. . What is the secret of Bay Templeton's art? What school does she represent? By what methods does she produce her effects? And how Js her thrilling charin defined? it her perfect diction, that fmparts to the simplest sentence a curious com- pelling, almost electric sensation? Ie her charm in the rich, melodious contralto notes; the economy of her ges- tures, that leaves one always expectant; the sense of unquenchable reserve power with which she impresses her audience? 3 Is it In her vivid sense of huiior, that Is suggested in the quaint little three- cornered smile and drooping eyelids? Is tt in the deep, full music of her laugh- ter—her abandonment to the humor of a altuation? What soffool does this superiatively fine artist represent? How does Fay Templeton invest her famous impersonations with all the points of the artist who {s serving as a model so that one with closed eyes can actually see the orizinal as well as hear her, and yet maintain her own distinct individuality throughout the performance? What is there about Fay Templeton’s art that differentiates her, places her in a class all by herself? I tried to putt these questions to the Life-Saver, who flashed a quizzical smile on me, showing two rows of dazzling teeth in the operation; and this ts about what Miss Templeton said: Without the frresistible charm of the artist’s personality {t {s diMcult to| transmit in even a faint degree the meaning Miss Templeton’s words conveyed. First of all she sald: ‘Why, I belong,to no school. I am eclectic, !f ever an artist were, I was almost born on the stage, and all my people belong to the theatre—father, mother, grandfathers and grandfathers and grandfathers. “I am a child of the theatre. I love it. I don't know anything at all about any other art but the one I have spent my life studying. When I was a baby I never played as other children did. I was always getting ready for the thea- tre at night, always dissecting, studying and trying to {mprove my role. When other little girls were out in the afternoon all dressed in thelr pretty frocks, playing with their dolls, I had my hair done up in rags so it would curl at night, and I knew I looked l!ke a Sight. But I loved it; I was getting ready to do my part. heavenly joy on us when they praise us; they break our hearts, I can tell abu, when they are so cold, when they refuse to open thelr arms a little to us. “But about methods, I do not know constantly to the theatre and studied the French school, tion rather than actual expression. impersonations, witch I really get too much credit for, why, they are the easiest work I do.
