Poth im «@ sortes of daily articles based wpon interviews with Mise Russell end her own writings.

For my- self, I do not think parents ought either to encourage or to interfere with the disposition of the children in thgs direction. Parents should leave children free to choose their lifework, except in so far as it is necessary to protect a child of immature mind from imposition. “T see no harm {f mothers permit- ting their daughters to go on the stage. I know so many good and pure women who follow the profession that T see no detriment in children follow- ing {t. It is yery much like any other business in life. It seems to me a mother might with all propriety per- mit her,child to go on the stage. “It is unjust to say that all stage children are subjected to harsh treat- ment. In ell companies of first rank ehildren are made much of, and in- stead of having to submit to hard- ships, their lives are filled with sun- shine and play. While all famous ~ What LILLIAN RUSSELL Has Said About. the Stage artibts may not have been on the stage since childhood, a large number Prove by their perfect method and training that their experience could only have been gained by association with the boards since youth. “For my part, I started on the stage when. I was sixteen, It was not neces- sary, as my Satbexs irfeome was ample, but I thought I possessed some talent In that direction, and my par- ents made no effort to restrain me. Certainly much evil might result from such restraint, ‘by means of which a child might feel crushed for- ever if forbidden a step which its own talent impelled it to take, I re- gard as foolish much of the ‘talk about the danger of mothers permit. ting their children to go on the stage. Thore is the same danger as in other business; great hardships, heartaches and disappointments, but no more and no less than in other vocations in life. “Any statement that the women Who make a living in tho theatre must of necessity Le bad Is false and absurd. The girl on the stage who Insists on stopping at the best hotels, who wants to wear Persian lamb, and for whom the street cars are not good enough would sacrifice herself as quickly from a typist's desk as from behind the footlights. The girl who is content to do with little, to work hard and hope for much gets to the top in mustcal comedy. ‘There are unfortunate conditions in {he theatre, as there are everywhere except In Paradise. pas 7 “The initial lesson for would-be actress is a thorough acquaintan with stage business and a tamiliarity with her own appearance in public. How near right 1 am in my estimate of the perfect knowledge of stage business as the first qualification of an actress is best attested by the in- vasion of the theatre by women of thelr consequent {gno- here they hoped for triumpl: “Education, taste, declamatory bowers, grace and perfect knowledge of the parts they portray they may possess to a finish, but fhey lack in toto the ability to manifest these pow- ers at the critical moment, and this ability is only another word for ex- perience. “Right here it will be asked why, if my theory be correct, the average chorus girl does not attain to a po- sition of eminence. Simply because the average chorus girl is human and forgets both study and ambition with the acquirement of a small singing part. She !s batisfled with a salary that enables her to buy a diamond or two, or she is satisfled with her own importance and believes she could play the star's part with ease, and will do so when the star dies. “Alas! her time never comes. The star dies, and the average chorus girl who neglects to study remaina the average chorus girl still, “fam not aware of any A B.C! rules that will make of one an actor. “n- telligence, physique, natural aptitude, hard study, careful observation of the methods of recognized actors, with a view of the means to attain the best expression of the passions—these are some of the requirements to be fol- lowed. “Remember too timt when ree- ognition {s attained the end has not come, At this point ail former efforts must be redoubled.

Several articles have appeared very recently in prominent magazines making an appeal to get back to the old-fashioned methods gf treating wilful children. And there is conaid. crabie to be said about it. As this mother suggests, the trhit of opedi- ence should begin very eariy, This obedience, if treated grac: usly but firmly in the early yea + assumes later an element of cou: fel and ad- vice. That is to say, when children un- derstand that they are to do or not to do the things they are told, that they will be punished for disobedt- ence—when children realize that promises of punishment or reward will actually be fulfilled the habit of obedience is readily formed, Then In later years the suggestion to do or not to do certain things when {t comes from the parent is followed as a metter of course. ‘ Tt has been said that the exoite- ment of war has not entirely worn off—that young women were engaged in all kinds of activities outside the home during the strenuous times, ana that the freedom thus aequined has entered into the blood. as it) wore, and restraint comes with.

Vor example, they: will nag at a girl until they instil a de- sire for vengeance on the part of the girl, which is very bad indeed, The thing to do is to appeal to the best side of these young women and when that fails, it is not unwise to resort even to the strong-arm method, A good spanking, while tt ma: brin y not the desired results in ©!) cases, 2] the yeung woman suffi- t Ss a those in authority subsection.
