A stenographer, if she is pretty, may find temptation in her way, 80 may a school teacher. Gertainly |we have been taught by the novels of one George Moore that the shopgirl has her temptations. But does this make us believe that every poor little cashgirt 1 a rotter? Surely not! “I've been on the stage for fifteen | years, and in all that thme I've not had one single letter from a man I didn’t know. I do think, however, there has been a change for the worse in the last ‘five years, and this hae been brought about by the invaston of the show girl. Musical comedy has led up to this situ tog.

Well, this may be true! Miss Janis’s play was the story of two girls who were tempted, and a | very true little story tt was, I think. | Miss Janis took two types of stage giris one who yields to temptation and one who doesn't. But this is true in life |everywhere. It ail depende the girl herself. Probably « girl should | never go in for a stage life unless ehe | feels strong enough to resist temptation. It is true, perhaps, that on the stage | girl Invites temptation, not because he encourages it but because she ts in an atmosphere that gives her a pecuttar fascination. She ts at her best—she must be to succeed. She is more beautiful | behind the footlights than she would be | anywhere else. Everything that can be done to make her expecially in musical comedy, business to fascinate, and this fact in itself may bring her temptations. “There was 4 time when I thought all the things 1 had heard about the temp. ations of stage life would come to HRISTIE. © MAC DONALD mistake to me when Belasco let the Public peep behind the scenes in ‘Zaza’ and see how stage thunder The stag as turned | should keep fis tricks out, t of those coi tried to | Tt ts her} It was my first year with Francis Wil- son.
