Modjeska was Interviewed recently ln
New York by a representative of the
World, who desired to extract from the fa
tnous actress a statement ot her method
of exciting the lachrymatory glands of
her audience, or, as It was briefly and
naively put, "How to Draw Tears." The
subject ls not entirely new. It has, In
fact, been discussed by Diderot In his
"Paradoxe sur lo Comcdlen," and by hun
dreds of others since, as to how fur an
actor should ullow his own sensibility to
govern his functions on the stage. Never
was a question of the kind argued with
greater divergence of opinion. It ls, there
fore, extremely Interesting to note tho
opinion on this subject of an actress of
the first rank, who ls admired by "end-of
the-century" audiences, and to learn how
she views the demands of her art upon
her own physical nature. She ls reported
as follows:
"Technique counts for nothing when
an audience ls to be won," says Modjeska;
"an actress losing herself In tho part and
feeling the passion, the despair, that she
Is endeavoring to Interpret, forgets all
things on heaven or earth but the char
acter. As to 'stage business,' as It ls
called. It has for the tlmo being vanished.
"How to get tears? What ls the secret
of true pathos?" she said. "Let mo think.
Ah, yes, I have It. The secret ls—sym
pathy. Sympathize with the part And the
audience will sympathize with you. Cry
with the character, and the audience will
cry. I never knew it te fall. I never yet
failed myself with even the most phleg
matic people who had hearts to feel.
"How to get tears? Well, that Is a
difficult question—an impossible question.
No actress that ever lived 'got' them—
that ls to say, no actress can win them
by effort or simulation. Tears come of
themselves. Her tears are the tears of the
audience—lf you understand me. I will
try to make my meaning clearer. A wo
man portraying the emotions must feel;
to feel she must have a heart; If her heart
has been tried li** fire, so much the belter—
she will be the greater actress. Tbe possi
bility of all this, therefore, ls born with
her. There ls the secret.
"Therefore, give me the play with hu
man heart Interest; give me the actress
who can realize and bring herself in
touch with the Idea ot the author—to use
a trite phrase, 'lose' herself in the part—
and there ls no audlenco In all humanity
that she may not win to lears. I will admit
this much—that good elocution ls neces
sary, because the slightest error ln In
tonation may mar the effect of her acting.
It ls well that she should learn 'stage busi
ness,' as you call It —how I hate that word!
—that she should know how to move eas
ily and gracefully about the stage, but
that sort of thing comes from long habit.
"But what becomes of all these triv
ialities ln the face of that great audience
of men and women, born with love and pity
In their hearts? The stage manager, de
void of Imagination, measuring all things
by his narrow, llttlo two-foot rule, may
tell you to stand in such and such a posi
tion, to make your exit or your entrance
thus and so, but he cannot Imbue you with
the divine sympathy, the Intuitive percep
tion of humanity, of how or what your
audience may feel, by which you can in
vest a part with warmth and color and
life.
"Thus ln the tempestuous rush of emo
tions aroused by the character, all these
things are lost or forgotten. She remem
bers only that she ls the woman; In re
membering that, she moves the hearts of
her audience. To carry them with her,
there ls but one thing to do—abandon all
thought of the stage, follow the instinct
of the moment to plunge headlong Into the
story, and leave It with God Almighty to
get you out. lej|lej|
"There are cases, of course, in which
one Is helped by the author, and where
one may accurately gauge the effect be
forehand. For Instance, where ln 'Mary
Stuart' I utter the line, 'My son—only one
thing remains—my son.' I know that If
there Is a mother In that audience she will
cry. Yet the woman playing Mary Stuart
must be convinced. And here let me say
that If I were asked to define in a word
the meaning of pathos, I should say 'con
viction'—the actress must be convinced, or
she strikes a false note—a hollow, shallow
note—and the effect is lost. An action
without words will frequently touch the
audience where all other things *Aavc
failed. For instance, ln one of my parts
many years ago tho mere act of placing my
hand on tho head of a llttlo child was suf
ficient to bring tears from those ln front.
It also frequently happens that a little bit
of 'business'—again that hateful word!—l
may produce an original and unexpected
effect. Until I played Portia with Edwin
Booth, it had been the custom for actresses
lo stand a little away from Shylock und
simply speak or recite those marvelous
lines of appeal for mercy. I was playing
Portia wltb Mr. Booth for the first time,
when, as I reached the first line, 'the
quality of mercy,' like an Inspiration, It oc
curred to me to step forward and lay my
hand gently on Shylock's shoulder, plead
ing with him as a man and a fellow crea
ture. I noticed that Mr. Booth shrank a
little, but at the close of the act he came
to mo and said: 'At first I thought your
little Innovation was wrong. But I watched
the audience while you were speaking, and
they told me that you were right—quite
right.'
"Again I say, tn conclusion, the secret
of true pathos Is to be found. If at all, in
these two words—sympathy and convic
tion."

Anna Held will appear here for n couple
of nights this week, showing her fascina
tions in the last act of a farce comedy In
which she appears doing a specialty turn,
which comprises the singing of songs;
AT THE
THEATRE
some In French and some in English. The
fleshly frankness of the enterprising press
agent ln describing the physical appear
ance of this much advertised young woman
has not been surpassed, and I doubt if It
has been equaled. It is a pity that so much
descriptive ability should go unrecognized
and therefore an extract from his glowing
effusion is here given. He says: "In ap
pearance she is a brunette, with singu
larly graceful characteristics. She has a
languishing, mocking face, which is, how
ever, not without tenderness of expression.
Her large, dark eyes are full of warmth
and feeling. Her hair ls black and very
luxuriant, and she wears it brushed back
from her forehead In a simple and tasteful
manner, which shows it off to the best ad
vantage. She has an oval face, high, arched
eyebrows and most bewitching red lips,
between which shlno two rows of the
most perfect white teeth that could be
imagined. In height she is not more than
four feet five Inches. Her ligure achieves
that happy state of being well fleshed with
out heaviness. She Is light as a deer and
full of vitality and nervous energy, but
there ls no suggestion of leanness about
her. Anna Held has the right amount cf
flesh to Insure the most bewitching out
lines. Her neck and shoulders are admir
ably formed and exhibit the most fascinat
ing little curves and dimples imaginable.
Her back Is straight T'j; her chest Is other
wise. Her feet and ankles are very small
and dainty, but carry her with great and
untiring swiftness. As she prances around
and glows and palpitates in the footlights
the spectators are almost lifted from their
seats with enthusiasm and admiration. To
those physical attractions are added a
voice which has melody and an ability to
use It Intelligently. Her songs are of much
tha same order as those of Gullbert, and
for the most part deal with things that are
not ordinary subjects of conversation In
polite society."

The New Tork Sun says: Boston has one
amusement resort whose name suggesls
advanced culture. It Is "The Zoo," and
standing out blackly In Its advertisements
are the lines "Pauline Hall" and "Admis
sion 10 Cents." Other items in Its curricu
lum aro a gypsy camp of fortune tellers
and a "satin parlor." Violinist Remenjt
follows Miss Hall and the bouse has other
dramatic and musical pi rformers that
have been drawn to vaudeville. Maeter
linck drama, eight hours of "stunts" and a
ride in the subway, all for an uncancelled
3-eent stamp, are in abeyance only be
cause of the threatening news from Spain
and. Cuba.
A rampant melodrama entitled "The Last
Stroke" was used ln the low-price theaters
last year. Its theme was the rebellion in
Cuba and (here were turgid and gory
scenes, besides a particularly malevolent
Spanish spy. The piece had Its term of
popularity and was laid away. But along
came the destruction of the Maine and the
ensuing probability of a war with Spain,
and "The Last Stroke," with the blowing
up of a United States warship by the spy
as an episode, is being hastily sent out with
half a dozen companies.

To Correspondents
LACTOPEPTINE. — No. Mademoiselle
Anna Held does not take baths of asses'
milk now. Her manager cannot procure
the requisite supply en route. The quan

fairy Is prodigious, but unfortunately this
kind does not yield the requisite lacteal
bath supply.

AMATEUR.—You might get an engage

INGOMAR.-"Walled-off" is a archaic
expression used to signify something par
ticularly choice and precious. Whether
Janet Waldorf derives her name from this
source can only be inferred from the fact
that she is considered choice, and precious
clever.
More Vaudovlllians
Katie Emmet who has starred success
fully for several seasons, will shortly make
her debut in vaudeville at ono of the

George H. Chlrgwln, "the white-eyed
musical Kaffir," arrived ln New York last
week. He is at Koster and Blal's. Chlrg

halls. His turn ls of the "musical moke"
variety, but he makes no atempt at the
dialect of our "coons." He makes up his
face black, with the exception of a triang

which he received his nickname.

"Secret Service and Cuba's Vow" were

the way the plays were handled by the
press. The correspondent's conclusions
appear to be founded on Insufficient pre

Coming Attractions
LOS ANGELES THEATER.—(Advance
Announcement.) On Tuesday and Wednes
day next a more than usually attractive
bill will be presented, consisting of the
American-Chinese play ln one act entitled
"The Cat und the Cherub," and the suc
cessful three-act farcical comedy, "A Gaj
Deceiver." The latter piece will also serve
as the vehicle to introduce Mademoiselle
Anna Held to the Los Angeles public. Tn<
Chinese play Is a dramatization by Chcstei
Bailey Pernald of bis original story of th(
I same name, which first appeared In the
; Century magazine. It portrays life and
character In the Chinatown of San Fran
cisco and is strikingly tragic ln Its denoue
ment.
In distinct relief to the almost gruesome
Chinese story comes the light, frothy, far
cical play, "A Gay Deceiver!" full ot comic
complications and laughable incidents,
dealing with the troubles which come to a
young married man, who, to explain some
pecadilloes, tells his wife that they were
the escapades of a twin brother, wbo bears
a remarkable resemblance to himself. "A
Gay Deceiver" has a company of more
than ordinary merit, including M. A. Ken
nedy, W. G. Beach, Edwin Holland, Harry
Mills, Lizzie Evans, Marie Valeau, Char
lotte Deane, Dolores Lettani and others.
The final scene introduces the feature of
the evening, Mile. Held presenting her
French and English songs. One or two of
the numbers she renders in her native
tongue, but two or three of her songs are
In the English language, and are sung by
her in broken English, with an accent and
manner that are peculiarly fascinating.
During her engagement here she will sing
"Tho Contra Bass," "I Want Some One to
Play With Me," and "I Want Dem Pres
ents Back." As a beauty, Miss Held has a
world-wide reputation. Almost every
theater-goer and newspaper reader ls fa
miliar with her features through the illus
trations of her which have appeared ln the
American press. Her beauty is certainly
beyond criticism. Miss Held has created
even a greater sensation than did Yvette
Guilbert.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
March 24th to 2Uth, including a Saturday
matinee, James A. Herne will be seen at
this theater in his own beautiful play.
"Shore Acres," which has a record of 4Ji
performances in New York, 175 ln Boston
and 13S ln Chicago. Just a year ago "Shore
Acres" was played in Los Angeles for a
week, and drew not only crowded houses at
every performance, but excited an amount
of enthusiasm on the part of lovers of the
sterling domestic drama who seemed to be
never tired of singing its praises. As one
of his eastern admirers says, "Mr. Heme's
art has not been confined to the making of
this play, but its building up into the form
and semblance of life may be given as
further evidence of his master genius as
a worker for the stage. The selection and
the drilling of the people intrusted with the
various parts has been so cleverly done
that through this accomplishment alone be
mlfrht be placed as a worthy contempor
ary of the great Irving, but when one con
siders the simple environments of the play
and the wonderful effectiveness of their
handling there can no longer be any ques
llon of Mr. Heme's position ns first among
the masters of stagecraft of this day."
o o o
j ORPHEUM.—(Advance Announcement.
I An unusual number of new attractions are
promised at this theater next week. Bach
has a'l the indications of merit, so far as
advance descriptions of their entertain
ment can be relied on, and several are suf
ficiently well known to be counted on as of
the Ix-st. There will be five new "turns"
Introduced, in addition to three holdovers
from last week's great bill.
An abundance of tuneful music ls in
cluded in the program. Two good acro
batic acts are promised, some clever min
strelsy, a bit of monologue character por
trayal, a pot pourri of juggling feats, and
for a final relish the biograph with new
views. "The globe equilibrist" is the de
scriptive title accorded Mandola, who per
forms on a slippery ball the difficult bal-
anclng and contortionists' feats attempted
by others on Immovable surfaces. He ls a
genuine- novelty in his Held.
A "new thing under the sun" ln the way
of a musical performance Is promised by
the Whitney brothers, who have invented
and perform on a musical stairway, an
electric molotone, a musical handicap and
other strange devices for evoking melody.
They carry with them a clever buck and
wing dancer, whose gyrations they ac
company with guitar music. The Or
pheum has had cake walkers and colored
comedians galore, but now come Smart
and Williams, who aro declared to be the
real thing and top-notchers in their class.
They have a record as fun makers that
should guarantee a good performance.
Among the new people is Will H. Fox, a
musical comedian. He ls to present a skit
called "Puddewhiski." The blograph has
just finished a run of sixteen weeks at the
San Francisco Orpheum. Entirely new
views will be presented here. Among them
Is a splendid picture of the wrecked battle
ship Maine.
The holdovers Include Miss Llna Pant
zer, the slack wire artist; Drawee, the jug
gler, and George W. Duy. the monologist,
In new songs and funny stories.

make her home, in spite of exigencies,
