CLARA MORRIS TELLS HER OWN STORY Started n a Ilnllet Girl nnd Had it Ulliiy Tliiio Ilcfwre She Bifida Her rut .lIenrnnco In Torohln. (Copyrlght, 1W1, by tho S. S. McCluro Co.) Clnrn Morris Is writing her autobiography inct doInK it us Hho always illd thlnRB, In A wny tbnt Is charming. Some excerpts are decidedly Interesting. In telling how bo secured her first engagement nt ft To ronto theater Miss Morris Bays: I was approaching my 18th birthday, when It cama about that ft certain undent hoarding hoiiBe hooper far gone In years required sorao ono to asBlHt her, some ono ehq c&uUl trust entirely nnd leave In charge tbr n month nt a tlmo and I. not being able to read tho future, was greatly cha grined becauso my mother accepted tho of Xcred situation. jAraoiiK tho boarders there were two or rthroo actors nnd two actresses a mother nnd n daughter Mrs. llradahaw and JHancho. Tho mother played tho "first old tvomani" tho daughter, only a year or two lder than I vjas, played, I was told, "walk ing ladles," though what that meant 1 could not Imagine. Tho dnughtor (lllnnche) liked me, while j looked 'upon her with awo, and wondered why sho oven noticed me. She had never read n book In her life. When I was homo from school I told her stories by tho hour, nnd sho would say: "You ought to bo in a theater you could net." Ami Hmn t would bo dumb for a long time, becnuso I thought sho was making fun of mo. Ono day I was chewing some gum .k -nvn mp i wus not chewing It very wIopIv. either and my mother boxed my ears, and lUancho said: "You ought to bo In a theater you could chew all tho gum And Just' then my mother was so cruelly overworked, nud the spring enrao iu mm i.ot nmi t fflit so big and yot so lielpless-ft great girt of 13 to bo worked for by nnother-nnd tho humiliation soemca .v, t nmiiii lionr. nnd I locked myself . omiiniril of n room and flung IU UlU Ul viu ' I' -- . luysolt upon my knees, nnd In n passion ot tears tried to maito a oargaiu wuu . ..r. irrnvnrsnco! I was Intensely re- Hrlous. I did not see tho enormity of the set! I onty kner that I suffered ana mai .-i ... l,, l,.,1n mn so I RSkod IltS lt0l. llUil HUUtH ..w.j. nt Rfnniilnir there. I cried out m film thlB promise: "Dear Qod, Jut pity me and show mo what to dol Please, ploaso help mo to help my mother, and If You will I'll never say 'No!' to any woman who comes to me all my llfo longl" Her I'nrt fully Performed. My error In trying to barter with my Maker must havo been forgiven, for my prayer was answored within a week whllo thoro nro many women scattered through the land who know that I have faithfully Itopt my part of that bargain and no woman who hns sought my aid has ever been an swered with ft "Not' Ono day lllancho greeted me with tho nows that extra ballet girls wero wanted and told nit that I must go nt onco and got engaged. "Hut," I sold, "maybe thoy won't tako me." "Well," answered sho, "I'vo coaxed your mother and my mother says sho'U look out for you so, at any rato, go and see. I'll tako you tomorrow." And so dimly, vaguely I seomod to see a way opening out before mo and again behind tho locked door I knelt and said: "Dear Qodl Dear Hod!" and got no fur ther, because grief has so many words and joy has so fow. The school torm had closed on Friday and on Saturday morning, with my heart boating almost to suffocation, I started nut to walk to the theater with lllancho, who had promised to ask Mr. Blister (tho man ugor) to tako mo on in tho ballot. When wo reached tho sidewalk we saw the sky threatened rain and Blanche sent me back for an umbrella. I had none of my own, so I borrowed ono from Mrs. Miller, our landlady, and nt sight of It my companion broko Into laughter. It was n dreadful affair, with a knobby, unkind handle, a slovenly and corpulent body and a circum ference when opon that suggested tho Idea thnt It had been built to shelter not only tho landlady, but thoso wlso ones of tho board ers who had paid up beforo tho winds rose and tho rain fell, Then we proceeded to tho old Academy of Music on Dank street and entering, went upstairs, nnd Just as wo reached tho top step a small dark man hurried across the ball and lllancho called quickly: "Oh, Mr. KlUler Mr. Ellslerl Walt a moment, please. I want to speak to you."- AVImt the Blnnaser SfTT. 1 could not know that his almost re pellant sternees of face concealed a kind ness of heart that approached weakness, so when ho turned a frowning, Impatient faco towards us, hope left mo utterly and for n moment I seemed to stand In a crent darkness. I think I can do no better than to give Mr. Ellsler's own account of that, our first meeting, as ho has given It often since. He says: "I was much put out by a business matter, and was hastily crossing the corridor, when lllancho called me, and I saw she had another girl In tow; u girl whose appearance In u theater was so droll, 1 muit havo laughed, bud I not been moro than a little cross. Her dress was qulto short sho woro a palo blue apron buttoned up tho back, long braids tied at tho ends with ribbons, and a brown straw hat, whllo sho clutched deBporatoly at tho handle of tho biggest umbrella I over saw. Her eyes wero distinctly bluo and woro plainly big with fright, Blanche gavo hor name and said sho wanted to go on in the ballet, nnd I Instantly answered she would not do; sho was too small I wanted women, not children, and started to return to my office, niancho was voluble, but tho girl herself never spoko a single word. I gluncod toward her nnd stopped. Tho hands that clutched tho umbrella trembled shu raised hor oyos nnd looked nt rao. I had notlcod their blueness a moment beforo now thoy wero nlmost black, so swiftly hod th8 pupils dilated, and slowly the tears roso In them. All tho fathor In me shrank under tho child's bitter disappointment nil the actor in mo thrilled at tho power of expression. In tho girl's face, and I hastily added: "Oh, well! You may como back In a day or two, nnd If any ono ap pears meantime who Is short enough to march with you, I'll tako you on, nnd after I got to my olllco I remembered the girl had not spoken a single word, but had won nn engagement, for I knew I should engage her, with a pair of toar-filled eyes." IIr KI rut "Make-Up." At last night came hot? Oh, my, how hot It was! and wo wero so crowded In our tiny drosslng room that some of us had to stand one one chair while we put our skirts on. Tho confusion was great nnd I v.a& glad to got out of the room down stairs, where I went to show myself to Mr. Ilradshnw or lllancho, to Beo If It was alright. Thoy looked at mo and after a hopeless strugglo with their quivering faces thoy burst into shrieks of laughter. With trembling hands I clutched my tarle ton skirts and iecrlng down at my tights I groaned: "Aro they twisted, or run down, or what 7" Hut It was not my tights; it wan my face. I knew you had to put on powder, because tho gas made you yellow and red, becauso powder made you ghastly, but It hud not occurred to me that skill was re quired In applying tho same and I was a sight to tnako nny kindly, disposed angel weep! I had not even sonso enough to freo my eyelashes from the powder clinging to them. My faco was chalk whlto, and low down on my cheeks were nice round, bright red spotB. Mtb. nradshaw Bald: "With your round blue eyes nnd your round white fuce you look a cheap china doll! Come hero, ray dear!" Sho dusted off a few thicknesses of the powder, removed the hard scarlet spotB, took a great soft hnro'a-foot, which she rubbed over somo pink rouge ntia then, holding It In the air, sho proceeded: "To morrow, after you have walked to get a color, go to your glass and svo where you will find It, higher on your cheek, coining close under the eye nnd growing fainter toward tho ear. I'll paint you that way tonight on chance. You see, my color Is low on my cheeks. Of course, when you nro maklng-up for n character part you go by n different rule, but when you nro Just trying1 to look pretty be guldod by nature. Now" , I folt tho soft touch of tho hnro's-foot on ray burning cheeks; then sho gavo me n toothbrush, which had black on It, nnd bado mo draw it across my lashes. I did so, and was surprised at tho amount of powdor It removed. Sho touched hor little finger to some red pomndo, and said: "Thrust out your under lip no, not llko a kiss that makes creases tnako a sulky llp-so!" Sho touched my lip with her finger, then ihe drow back and laughed again, In a dlf 'eront way, Sho drow mo to tho glass, and laid, "Look!" I looked nnd crlod: "Oh oh! Mrs. nrad shaw, that girl doesn't look n bit llko""me sho's over so much nicer!" In that lesson on maklng-up wns tho be ginning and the ending of my theatrical In struction. What I have learned bIuco thon hns been by observation, study nnd direct Inquiry, but never by Instruction, either freo or paid for. Now, whllo I was engaged to go on with the crowd, fate willed, aftor all, that I should havo an Independent entrance for my first appcaranco on tho stngo. Tho mat ttr would bo too trivial to mention wero It uotfor the Influence It had upon my future. One act of tho. play represented tho ba?k of n stage during ft performance The sceno-shttters and gasmen wore standing about everything was going wrong. Tho manager was giving ordors wildly, nnd thon a dancer was late, Sho was called frantic ally, and finally, when sho appeared on tho run, the manager caught her by thn shoulders, rushed her across tho stngo and fairly pitched her on the Imaginary stage to the great amusement of tho audlonco. The tallest and prettiest girl In tho ballet had been picked out to do this bit of work, and she' hail beon rcbenrsed and rehearsed as If she wero preparing for the balcony scene of Jtomoo and Juliet; nud day nftur day tho stage manager would groan: "Can't you run? Did you evor run7 Imagine tho house nflro and that you nro running tar your life!" At last, on that opening night, wo wero all gathered ready for our first cntranco and dance', which followed n few moments after tho Incident I have described, The tall girl had a queer look on hor fnco ns she stood In her place; her cue came, but she never moved. I heard tho rushing footsteps of the stage manager. "That's you!" bo shouted, "do on! Oo on; run!" Run? Hho seemed to hnvo grown fast to the floor. Wo heard tho nngry aside of tho actor ou the stage: "Send someone on here, for heuven's sake!" "Aro you going on?" cried thn frantlo prompter. Sho dropped her arms limply ut her sides and whispered: "I I- -c-a-n ' tl" Ho turned, and as ho ran his Imploring eyo over tho lino of faces, each girl shrank bnck from It. He renched mt; I had no fear and ho saw It. "Can you go on there?" ho cried. I nodded. "Then, for God's sake, go!" I gavo a bound nnd n rush that cnrrlod ma half across tho stagn beforo tho mana gcr caught mo, nud so I made my entrance on the stngo, and danced nnd marched and sang with tho rest, nnd nil unconsciously look my first step upon the path thnt I was to follow through shadow and through sun shlno to follow by steep and stony places over threatening bogs, through green nnd pleasant meadows, to follow steadily aud faithfully for many and many n year.
