But my personal experiences has been asked for I scarcely remember the day when I did not recite as a child I was made to learn a verse of poetry daily and such isthe force of habit that a day never passes that I do not memorize a few lines All children are fond of the heroic style but as we lived during the war in the lonely mountains of North Carolina and went throughj many stirring and exci ting experiences our thoughts took particularly martial turn Tne lays of Avtoun and Macaulay were gospel to to us and I think my debut was as who kept the bridge I One day I was reciting this poem out of doors near a little stream and when I came to that verse in which Horatius after addressing a prayer to the Tiber his harness on his back plunged headlong in the I be came so zealous that I jumped into tne home made Tiber whose name was dragging with me my 2 year old sister and brother and made for the opposite bank We were seen and pulled out like three little drowned rats and I was soundly smacked and sent to bed: shoes and clothes were not be trifled with in war days Every audience has to be won over and an amateur does not always have the time or chance I find my own frame of mind more or less reflected by the audience in the shape of coldness if I am tired or nervous Constant habit and practice and knowledge of stage methods enables a professional to play a part evenly and well how ever little he may fancy it but I find I must feel the beauty of tbe lines or the lesson they teach to do good work and at any rate after reciting or act ing I feel discouraged and disappoint ed The theatrical managers and professionals have always treated me with unvarying courtesy and kindness and even encouragement To Mr David Belasco especially I am indebted for much valuable advice and friendly counsel Tbe success of recitation naturally depends much on the piece and I rarely decide upon my selection until the last moment when I am on the spojLand have made my estimate of the generaLcJiaracter of the audience Mv debut was not a success Still at all the little family gatherings 1 was called on to contribute to the general entertainment and finally began ap pearing in public But my first ef forts could only have been borne with by reason of their earnestness as I knew nothing of artistic efforts and methods I usually find mv first reci tation ineffective as my audience seems taken up with my personality this leads me to believe I must have dis tracting mannerisms Our judgment on a question of this sorf is anything but infallible and at t1r want st more amusing that will make them think Now I ashamed to confess that my most en thusiastic and generous critics have been working men and shop girls and newsboys or if they have had fewer advantages jn education and refining associations than those in a more for tunate position their wits have been sharpened by practical trials and ad versity and the absehepof affectation in themselves makesthem quick to see through faUe sentiment and appreciate what is true An increasing fondness for the art and the pleasure of contributing through it to some very worthy objects have stimulated me to continue per forming notwithstanding much mis conception and much that is annoying More than once my inclination has been strong to give it all up but after a failure or an unsatisfactory perform ance you have a chance to retrieve for perhaps six months or a year But in these things our nature is perhaps a little stronger than we are However hard and intelligently an am ateur may study it is impossible for him to acquire the stage ease that the habit of appearing in front of the footlights gives a professional making! him ap pear to better advantage than an am ateur who has possibly better natural gifts If along with the emotions we are attempting to describe we conveyto the audience half of the nervous and rickety feelings we really have then we must make our audiences in deed uncomfortable But I am speak ing for myself only as there are other amateurs with far inore experience and I am sure much greater ability to express it than I Cora Urquhart Potter TOT1T1 I The largest Retail rnhk I Clothing Hat and A 1 1 urnishing Hous in the West it THE BOSTON St Paul If you will send them your name and ad dress they will send you REE illustrated catalogue and Rules for Self Measurement Address BOSTON One Price Clothing House Cor Third and Robert St8 ST PAUL MINN CONSUMPTION 'ttowxdt of caew of tbo vor4 Had aad of teadiac Weakness Lassitude Lack Energy etc it HAS NO EQUAL and the only Iron medicine tht not injurious It Enriches the Blood Invigorates tho System?
