FLORENCE FISHER SAYS
STAGE LIFE WHOLESOME
Actress Declares Comeliness. In
telligence and Vitality
Bring Success
In thn company which will b« seen
at the Maiestlc Ihentor next week with
Walker Wlilteslde in "Tho Melting
Pot," Israel Zangwill's masterpiece, Is
a yming woman. Miss Florence Fisher,
who deserted society for the, lure of
the fnotllßhtn. Frequently she Is asked
by young women who are acquainted
with her history if sho is not sorry she
. I such an arduous career, and she
always answers In the negative. And
she Is not among those who are for
ever advising young women to avoid
the Stag* when searching for a voca
tion In life. She says:
"Whenever a younir girl comes to ma
and asks, 'ODUId i bo i\n actress?' I
always answer. 'Oh. don't ask mo so
goon. Just let's enjoy ourselves and
;;■ Imi quainted. 1 We sit at tea, or \vu
go for a ride, or to a matinee,. Hut by
the timo sho leaven I always feel sure,
whether sho Is fitted for the stage. As
she says good by I whisper to her, 'By
all means go on,' or 'Don't try the
stage. You will find much more de
limit oft it.'
'If manage™ would follow this pol
iry of watching a girl In her natural,
everyday lifo instrad of listening to
the part's sho has played or Riving her
a piece to declaim there would be few
er failures. For It is what is latent In
a woman that makes her successful on
Ilio stage. She must not only bo come
ly, but She must nnvo vitality—he bub
bling with lifo. Often managers won
der why it is that a jfirl of promise,
fails. They have never seen her as she
ordinarily passes Hie day. Only then
can you tell whether her vitality is
forced or natural, and the, one big
thing that makes for success on the
stage Is lots of vitality—life. If you
have that, bo on the stage; if you
haven't, stay off it.
"When I advise, a girl to go on the
Stage 1 d» so because it Is the happiest,
pleasantest and most wholesome pro
fession or employment in the world.
There a woman has a chance to de
velop aa she. never would in any other
field, even tho home. She can always
climb. There Is no top. She rids her
self, too, of all her potty faults. Rub
bing elbows with so many other ear
nest, ambitious women Is bound to
do that.
"But befor* you seek a stage career
remember these three requirements:
Comeliness, Intelligence, and, most of
all, life. If you havi them all, try for
a position, for you will surely succeed.
If you haven't, don't try to win the
plaudits of an audience, lor you will
fall."
Club News
"If a woman has been born with
n liand to work with or a mind to
think with I hold that she has a right
to use them. And if she does use
them sho Is enttlled to the fruits of her
labor and to protect It .against oth
er."!.
"She defends her property and matn
tains It, then nhe should be able ( to
miiko laws to secure her Interests.'
With such practical suggestions did
D E. Bowen Rive reasons why women
thould have the ballot, at the regular
meeting of the Votes for Women club
last night, at 915 South Olive street.
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, presi
dent of the club. is delighted with the
progress it ls-jnaking. Members of
the club are studying the political sit
uation from every standpoint. Speak
ers are Invited to present their views
on all possible phases of the "votes for
women" subject. In 'addition to the
general address the members them
selves usually have some pertinent
questions anent the discussion, and a
spirit of alertness and attention con
stantly Is manifested.
Miss Maud Younger of San Fran
cisco spoke of women's need for the
ballot. This speaker has studied the
conditions which surround working
women, has lived and worked in set
tlement houses and understands thor
oughly tho laws governing women and
protecting them. Various conditions
lust now agitating public sentiment
were touched upon by Miss Younger,
who speaks with considerable author
ity where labor troubles are concerned.
A resolution deploring tho Times dls
aster* which has plunged many happy
homes Into mourning was passed by
the club. ,

BUFFALO BILL WILL SIT
FOR ARTISTS' CONGRESS
Gotham Capitalist to Pay $10,
--000 for Cody's Portrait
The late Frederic Remington, noted
the world over as America's greatest
delineator of western characters and
horses, had one unaccomplished ambi
tion—that of again putting Buffalo Bill
on canvas. It is a generally conceded
fact that Remington's early work was
inspired by Cody's historic life; he re
vered the great Indian scout; the two
were warm personal friends —Reming-
ton has promised to do one more oil,
which was to have been presented to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art In
New York city, but the artist's un
timely demise prevented.
One of Cody's great admirers, a Man
hattan capitalist, has secured sanction
to a proposition of having the Indian
scout pose Just once more.' The unique
feature will be an open competition of
America's best artists. A competent
body of judges will determine the mast
characteristic portrait of Buffalo Bill,
which will be purchased by the New-
York financier for $10,000 and presented
to the Metropolitan.
The congress of artists will convene
early in the fall in Now York to begin
their work, Just after Cqdy's tour of
the country closes. The event will
have special significance, as it is the
last time that Col. Cody will appear
before the public, as lie is to retire
from active arenic work. For thirty
years Buffalo Bill has viHlted the dif
ferent parts of the world with his Wild
West exhibition. He now yearns for
the rest he so well earned.
His visit to this city in a few days
will be the last—the last opportunity
to Bee the greatest of all romantic
characters that Indian wnrfnro ever
produced. With Buffalo Bill's Wild
Weet is combined Pawnee Bill's Far
East,\a wondrous array of oriental
and occidental oddities and splpndor,
better, bigger, more exciting'and more
lavish than evor.
Buffalo nill appears in the saddle at
every performance to bid you a per
sonal farewell.
