In all earnestness she" has promised that "Hamlet" would be her next pro duction, and that she would be Hamlet This interesting piece of news came out in the course of a talk about the hard work an actress does when she's hitting the one-night stands in the desperate sickness, distress or grief comes to you, you cant grieve as other people do, It's like being the captain of a ship you must go down with it in the hour of disaster.

The life of the actress on the road is harder than that of the scrub woman in New York, who begins her day's work at a or 3 o'clock in the morning with pall, brush and mop, for the scrub woman can get sleep, and she doesn't have to pay any attention to her looks.

Travel in the South is still terribly hard, because the connections are bad and they pile people into cars as they would emigrants. Texas is a terror to actors because of the fearful jumps, but it is a great State for 'show towns.' Everybody goes to the theatre. But the West, when it is in the grip of winter, it not always able to supply an audience. I remember getting to one town and finding it literally buried be neath an avalanche. From the windows of the train we saw nothing but black hearses moving like a grim caravan across the dreary stretches of snow, And I've been stuck in the snow for three days with practically nothing to cat That happened one winter when we were crossing the plains. We would sit in the train and say to one another, 'Can you think of people going up and down Broadway wondering at what res taurant they will dine?' When you go on the road you take chances there's no other way of looking at it Only last spring I appeared in a Northern Michigan town that was stricken with what the people called 'the black plague.' It was probably black smallpox. On the night we opened the daughter of the manager of the theatre died of it and every other member of the family was down with the disease. We played to four people. "I know all about one-night stands," declared Mrs. Carter. "Sitting in a lonely railway station from 3 until 5 in the morning isn't exactly jolly, but I've done it many a time. And I've done my own washing and ironing in order to look presentable on the stage of a one-night stand. An actress must hope of making a hit herself. Mrs. Carter is now on "the road," looking at least ten years younger than she did months ago. This season she is play ing more one-night stands than in many years, for her tour embraces the South, including Texas, the West, Pacific Coast and North West Of the hard ships of a long tour she has every right to say: , "I think I'm a good reply to any question about the hardships and trials of the road. I simply offer myself in evidence, she added, suiting the word to the French hat under which she beamed. "It isn't the playing that wears one out on the road," explained Mrs. Carter, "it s the getting up in the morning and the impossible theatres with their im possible noises. In a large city theatre everything is in order, with the same people in charge of the stage every night But on the road there are still some towns where men come in to do extra work just for the sake of seeing the show, as they put it Oh, those stage hands who work to 'see the show!' They're always in the way, and they never do the right thing at the right time. I nearly explode. It is to them perhaps that I owe my reputation for being er well, suppose we say exact ing. "Really, you know, it is just a trifle disconcerting to see an amateur stage hand trying to dance a jig in the wings while you are trying to act an emotional scene on the stage. But, granting all the annoyances and discomforts that are the lot of the actor, I think there is no other life so absolutely delight ful and at the same time so absolutely grotesque. It is grotesque in the sensed of being terribly cruel at times. If always look bright and fresh, even if she 'Tis said. weary actor on the road, for I believe he works just as hard to give a good performance as he would in New York. I know I always do. This profession means a life of heroic effort - Had a Star to J?acA.c 'i? "I'd had a lot of trouble before I went on the stage, and I knew life the hard part of it I was alone and I had my living to earn. It was not a case of being dazzled by the glamour of the footlights; I was beyond all that Act ing became my work, my religion. I had a star to reach. I've had my suc cessesmany of them out I've nererhad them by sitting down in fine clothes and being pampered as a society pet I've worked. Every other art must be learned why not the art of acting? People often say they would do any thing to get on the stage. As a matter of fact, they wouldn't "They don't realize that the war to success is one long path of self-sacrifice. But after all my success, my ad vice to inexperienced young women Is, 'Keep away from the stage.' Sweet breads are more attractive than corned beef and cabbage, and I don't think there is one poor girl out of a thousand strong enough to withstand the temp tation that is almost sure to come to her if she is pretty. That's the most pitiful part of it alL It just makes me weep. I don't mean girls who are born into the profession. They can take card of themselves. It's their work, that's all They're as safe as the acrobats in the circus." The long jump from acrobat K "Hamlet" was taken quickly. I ve been studying 'Hamlet: for six or seven years,' she said, "though, oddly, enough, I've never seen a single per formance of the play. Years ago I was put through my elocutionary paces by being given certain speeches to read, and I believe I have at least the voice for it So, .if you like, you may sajr am going to play it next season."
