A Real Boy.
'Where did I iret mv conv of 'Bob' ?"
queried May Stockton. "Why, I stud
ied the cniiraetur long uetore i ptityeti
the uurt. I just dote on boys ; in fact,
I've studied them all my life." And
the youngster beu your pardon, the
little woman, made this remnrk with
out so much as the quiver of an eyelash,
and spoke us earnestly and as seriously
tts if she wore unaware that woman's
mission Is to mnke a lifelong study of
men. 'Ko you think I'm a real boyV
That's the nlceBt compliment I've ever
had paid me. That's just the way I try
to play the part to make people think
I'm a Veal boy and not a woman play
ing a boy's part. Why I even went to
the sacrifice of my hair in order to be
realistic; and it as sucb pretty, curly
hair too." and the accompanying sigh
was a real womanly one. But the next
moment she was the boy again, chat
ting vivaciously about her work, her
hopes and her plans. HernanaBpiungeu
as naturally into her pockets aB any
boy's and there were other boyish trickB
and poses that made it difficult to be
lieve that Bob is the same off the stage
as on. Perhaps skirts might make a
difference, but In the Bob make-up Miss
Stockton doesn't step out of the picture.
"I try to make Bob a genoine boy:
one that the boys in the gallery will
endorse and believe in. That doesn't
mean that he should be ragged and
dirty, or a tough, low down kid. My
observation of street boys, newsboys at
least, who have anv ginger in tbem.
don't go about with besmutted faces,
unkempt hair and repulsive clothes.
There may be a few tears in the clothes,
but on tbe whole a wide-awake hustling
street kid beepB himself cleanly in man
tiers and appearance. It's part of his
Btdtsk in trade. He iBn't getting custom
ers if be is foul mouthed, or if he looks
as if he hadn't had a bath in years.
I want Bob to please not only tbe gal
lerv kidB. bat be one with whom the
downstairs people will Bymyathize.
You ought to see now me kiub cHase
me though ; they wait for me at the
stage door and follow me about until it
gets really embarrassing at timeB. But
bless 'em, they're all right and they're
loyal little friends.
Of course, you know that I was the
original "Taggs" in "A County Fair,"
nnd have played similiar roles for
several years. And I've played "Little
Lord Fauntleroy," and, of course, that
helped in playing boy's roles. I've
never had the Btarring fever, though
I've had offers a plenty. Until this sea
son I have never allowed my name to
be featured. I believe in working for
tbe good of the company and tbe good
of the show. The better the company,
the better the show. I shall keep on
playing boy's part if I can get anything
to suit me. Its bo bard to get a good
play, but I am on the look out for good
plavs alwayB."
Miss Stockton is an energetic little
woman, and the secret of her success is
due to the enthusiasm with which she
enters into her roles. Sbo believes in
ginger. She is also quite a buBinesB
woman having managed her own com
pany with a signal success. The role
of "Bob" in "A Little Outcast" Bhe
likes bettet than any role Bhe has ever
played for it is full of pathos. As she
says, "I just like to get right down at
their heart strings and tug away. There
is bo much sympathy for you if you can
stir their hearts."
Miss Carpenter will be seen here on
December 4tlt in E. J. Carpenter's "A
Little Outcast,"
