most yonng aspirant for stage
training- Is that they specialize In their
work.
-Of course it is always the one who
has had the least experience who rises
to offer lance and decided -"views' on
Important subjects, smiled the charm
ing Miss Kdprett. "Always I notice It

other people's, of course. It's the
same In theatrical life. I have been on
the stafte exactly let me see." here
Miss Kdgrett put down her teaspoon
long enough to count meditatively on
her slender white lingers. "Why. I've
been an actress only about seven
months, and many weeks In that time
I've not appeared. Consequently I feel
amply qualiAed to talk on the particu
lar failings of young actresses."
Imtn-rlew Furaaea Her.
Mary Kdgett and I were having- a
grand and noble tea party for two
with a pot of vicious green tea between
us. and with it little thin cakes that are
about as substantial as sunshine flood
ing one s throat. he had Oemurrea
against talking shop but I held Mrm.
Mary hadn't b-en Interviewed since that
memorable day when she found her
self a full-Hedged member of her
father George L Baker's company and
a. reg'ly actress.
"You were saying." I prompted, "that
you think your co-artists specialise too
much."
"Just so." agreed Mary. "That is
what deteriorates rather than increases
their versatility. Nearly all actresses
are picked especially for the roles they
create that is. outside of stock. I
mean. They play that one role, por
tray one type, get wholly used to It,
and to place them in an entirely dif
ferent character and expect them to
play It would be to accomplish the Im
possible, "It Is a pity. too. for under other
conditions their versatility might prove
limitless." And Mary sighed for all the
specializing- actresses.
"And then again It mightn't" I con
soled. "Well, at all events, types simply
shuts off every chance of developing
their true powers. They satisfy them
selves by aiming- at merely one thing-,
and never for a moment stop to realize
that In a very short time they ruin
every chance for greater success."
Mary Edgett 't t Specialise.
"By which I take It" sea I ."that
Miss Mary Edgett is not going to spe
cial tie."
"Not if Miss Mary Edgett can help
herself." said that young person, peer
ing into the depths of the teapot for
"more."
"I like to play a different role every
week. And I prefer those that entirely
sink the Mary Edgett identity and
make me play for all the character is
worth."
"Like which one of the many you've
playedT" I asked.
"Well." she meditated. "I love to
portray Indian studies. There Is so
much pantomime. And so little expres
sion to the face. I must rely solely on
my ability to make my audience feel
what the Indian thinks. It's a psy
chological process Interpreting an In
dian maid. When I was cast In my
first role of thst sort as Naturltch. In
"The Squawman." I read every line of
my role, then I hied me over to the
Public Library. For one entire after
noon I pored over all the descriptive
data I could find relative to Indian
women. It was all mighty Interesting,
too. From pictures and reading mat
ter I designed my own costume. It Is
a stralght-froro-the-shoulder robe,
made of soft brown leather. I wear It
uncorseted. Brown hose, with brown
leather leggings laced up the front and
moccasins complete the costume. Flen
ty of beads and ornaments of Indian
manufacture are to be found in local
stores, and I decorated Naturttch's robe
effectively." ,
"And painted yourself brown?" I
finished. '

amended.
"Why, you didn't look like an ani
mated Dalette when you played the
role." I said.
"1 hope I didn't but I was one,
affirmed Mary. "First I put on a good
ooating of grease paint for a founda
tion, on my arms and neck and face.
I Dut It uo close, under my eyes, too,
and made sure that no splash of white
would gleam through.
"Then I began blending in all the
shades of brown from golden to tan
with two or three shades of yellow for
high lights and much red on cheeks,
lips, chin and temples. For the first
coat I put it on delicately so that it
looks good in the mirror. Then I
accent It or emphasize it you might
say, about seven coats or shades deep
er, so that it will look good over the
footlights."
Itlght here Mary stopped to deliver
a dissertation on calciums, the shape,
size and color of footlights and the
effect It had on makeup, and to discuss
at length the size of theater audito

DRAMA TREAT IS IN STORE
Ben Greet Players to Get Royal Wel
come Here Tomorrow.
Students of the intellectual drama
will have what might be termed "a
feast of the soul" tomorrow afternoon
and night when the famous Ben Greet
English Players appear in Portland at
the Lincoln Htgn scnool auaitonum in
two plays of all-time. "She Stoops to
Conquer. Goldsmiths famous play,
which has been the- vehicle by which
more than half a dozen famous actors
and actresses rose to fame, will be the
matinee bill at 2:15 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon and the keen. Intensely fun-
nv and dramatlo "The Comedy of Er
rors," of Shakespeare, will be the eve-
nine- attraction at 8:15 o clock.
The Ben Greet Players are brought
to Portland at this time in commemo
ration of the 549th birthday anniver
sary of Shakespeare, by the Portland
Shakespeare Study UluD.
The coming of the Ben Great Players
is an event in itself, and toe choice
that has been made for the Portland
nrogramme holds another significance.
It is to Mr. Greet that the laurels for
knowledge and understanding of Eng
lish drama go. He is considered by
crMcs of all lands one of the greatest
living authorities on English dramatic
literature In. all Its forms ana as a
producer of Shakespeare and other
English authors his fame has become
world-wide. He has been identified
with the stage for more than 30 years
and has taught many actors, develop
ing more actually finished artists than
any one man. perhaps. For 20 years
or more Mr. Greet has been prominent
in England for his splendid produc
tions in London. Cambridge, Stratford-on-Avon
and other places in "Shakes
peare's England."
The Shakespeare Study Club has ar
ranged to present the famous players
at popular prices and has made an
especial effort to interest the younger
generation in the performances. The
brief engagement promises also to be
a social affair of note.

ISLE OF PINES WANTED
MAJORITY OP RESIDENTS ARE
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Nation-Wide Petition to Have Island
Declared United States Prop
erty Being Circulated.
Petitions addressed to President Wil
son and to the United States Senate,
asking that such action will be taken
as well make the Isie of Pines per
manently a possession of the United
States, are being circulated in Port
land. Although there are few people
in the city who have ever visited the
beautiful little island which lies 50
miles south of Cuba, R. W. Dunnings,
of 188H Twelfth street, who is circu
lating the petitions, declares that much
interest is being manifested.
The Isle of Pines contains about 1000
square miles, is fertile and well wa
tered, and out of the track of the heavy
Caribbean storms. Of .its population
of 4000 a majority are Americans.
By the Treaty of Paris, Spain ceded
the island to this country In 1898. Pres
ident McKinley thereupon had it placed
on the official maps of the United
States, and the War Department in
formed intending settlers that it was
our territory. As a result the island
has become a distinctively American
colony. Ninety-five per cent of the
land is owned by Americans.
When the Cuban Republic was es
tablished the Isle of Pines was omitted
from its constitutional boundaries. Yet
against the protest of its inhabitants a
treaty was negotiated eight years ago
surrendering the Island to Cuba. This
treaty the United States Senate refused
to ratify, and a Nation-wide effort is
now being made to have a new agree-
