“She is impulsive and she in vain. as

I This proposition did not sound at all
new, and from some sources it would
have been In no way ionutrkuble. lint
it did have a peculiar ring when it
came from an matron; of such standing
as Mme: Modjoiika.
' “Do you really moon that you think
that all actresses are vain?"
“Why, yes; all good actresses are:
they must be. The public expects it of
them. The people who come '0 see
thorn want thorn to look pretty, and it
is their duty to do so just .‘n fol-us they
can._ They nun-It try to keep their com;
pleXIons good, they must arrange their
hair pruttily, they must. study how to
dress becomingly and to keep them‘
selves ill every way just as beautiful as
possible.”
"Then you do not moon that the act-
ressmnsi‘. have vanity in the bud sense
of the word, that of too much Hull-(iii
teem?" . ‘ . ' ‘
"No, I mean the care for llt'l‘ personal
appearance that every :it'ii'osu must
have the desire to always look her very
best. Anne-tress cannot afford to lost-
her youth or her figure or her good
looks in any respect. She stands before
the glass and examines hor fur-o and her
form and if she finds that there is a lll’r
tie new wrinkle around her eye or that
her color is fading the least bit. it terri- , ’
fies her. She must. be careful about
those things and id rum-it. watch them
constantly. Her living depends: on it. i

did nothavo any of tlntt vnnuy about
her personal upprutranI-c. bho did not
care how she looked, That sort of van-
ity is absolutely - necessary for an
actress."
It is scarcely necessary. but. perhaps
it is no llllll‘t' than fair. to say that. all
‘ the vanity that Mme. Modjosku herself
has is of that kind. She seems to think
_ that all the iitlitlr actors in the World are
good actors. After talking about ll. few
of themund their recent :II-IIiechIupIte‘
for half an hour, she said to the re-
porter:
I “Whatever you write. don't any any-

But the caution was unnecessary; she
had not said any such thing.
