You who are struggling through the tall F grass are taking the right road to renown. | The “ten-twent-thirt” is a blessing in disguise. A damp, cold room in a country hotel is better for you than a steam-heated flat in New York. Broadway is a blight upon budding genius, a wheck to endeavor. Get out and hustle, Thus, in effect, spoke Henrietta Grocman’ who ie the town paying court to “Sweet Kitty Bel- irs.” ‘Miss Crosman spdke not only interestingly but ‘with the authority of one who has learned what's twhat in the school of experience. cy RObson New York Thedie “I went on the stage,” sald she, “because I had to earn my living. There was no love for the) stage then. Only a desire to be able to help my~- self and my family. Ambition came afterward, and my regret is that I am only such a little way on my journey. Any success that the public may be good enough to say I heve attained has been accomplished by hard work and disappointment ° Show girls, of course, are not expected to be Aaa in a few remarks. a a a a ‘“ L® ay every one else,” continued Miss Crosman, “my. start was made in one of the smaller compamies, and after a year or so I got into New York. I went to Daly’s and then to the Lyceum. I thought I had made a name for myself when I played ‘Gloriana,’ but when that play was withdrawn I found that I couldn't get an engagement. “But what, at the time, seemed to me & had blow, was really my salvation, for, unable to obtain work, I was compelled to accept engage- ments in stock. Naturally, I said to myself, ‘If you were a good actress, Henrietta Orosman, they would want you in New York, but being a bad actress you must play twice a day in any old place." “I didn’t realize that that same twice a day and a long part each week to study was the very Jope experience I needed. I only looked at the hard- ship of it all and complained at my lot. Stock experience and the opportunity to play. good roles gave me great experience, such as I could have gotten in no other way, and now I am the most thankful of women that the fates decreed I could not get even one manager to give me a part on Broadway.” May this fall umfer the eye of you, young woman, who disconsolately wander the White Way under the delusion that misfortune dogs your footsteps.

If she will only say to herself that it perhaps is all for the best, that will help to bear her up.” A suspicious sound caused us to turn our heads. ‘The caricaturist, seated, appropriately, beside the rubber plant, was softly sobbing. With a compassionate glance, Miss Crosman went on: “Yet with it all, knowing the work and disap- pointments that must come, were some young wo- men to ask my advice about going on the stage I should say, do so by all means; that is, provided you are sure that you have some talent, & good constitution and an ability to perform an {m- mense emount of hard work. “The opportunities offered a young woman ip the dramatic profession are more, I think, than in | thel Barrymor. eZ Warlem Opera House: Mtermony any other, There {s always room at the top, and I presume that every young woman who goes on the stage has an ambition to become a star.
