He has also, as a treasure shown only to the elect, a snapshot -f "The To and Fro Man." and chuckles that " 'B got him. although 'e don't like to be took, you know." Further pleasantries along this line were Interrupted by the entrance of a very small boy whose elaborate uniform mark hlni of the messenger class. Hla feet are bin; enough to serve 6 o'clock tea on, and hla tiny button of a cap, about the size of a bath bun, alts nonchalantly on the tip of hie ear. In Mr. Frohmaia'a sanrtam. You know perfectly well that It Is not polite to ask personal questions, but Miss Marie Tempest, with whom you have an engagement, has not arrived and you can't look at Mr. Frohman'a picture for ever. So you laps. You certainly lapse. You must Interview Homebody, for the Interviewing habit once fixed la not to be eradicated, and there la an affinity of pur pose between you and Messenger, for he too 1b waiting for Mlsa Tempest "Would you mind tolling," you Inquire blandly, "why you wear your cap so far-er on your head?" Messenger stands rootew to the spot. It Is easy to root him, for his feet once placed are not easily uplifted. "1 wonder why 1 do," he answers re flectively, with the manner of a Chester field In spite of his size and costume, and you feel that you should not take advan tage of him In this way, without Informing him of our purpose; but It Is too late to retreat. "Do you know, madam, I never really gave the subject serious thought before. ' You begin to bn nervous under his pene trating eye. "I shall make It my business, however, to devote my attention to the subject you have suggested." You murmur something about Its not being of paramount importance, but Messenger, the subject having been broached, Is not going to let you off so easily. "Of course It Is Important, madam. If you are concerned about It. Why do I wear my cap so far on my ear?" His Angio ma xon la Johnsonian. flparrtnar with the Meaaeaisrer. You correct him. You didn't mention ear, you said head. "Oh my head." he corrects, "Possibly our friend cart tell us." You have learned your Loudon well enough to be feeling In your pocket by this .time, and the doorkeeper's suggestion that It may be as a matter of balance does nut disturb your search. Mes senger Is apparently oblivious of It. "Balance Is exactly the word I wanted That is why I wear It as I do, madam. It Is merely, I assure you, a matter of bal ance; perhaps we might go further and at tribute It to the force of. well, say action. Does that seem satisfactory?" You hand him a sixpence and feel that he has the best of you In every way, while he plares heela together, gives you a mil ltary salute and goes whistling down the Comedy corridor. Just as MIbb Tempest's motor car drives up, It Is six years now since she played to an American audience, but she does not look a day older, and having seen her in her present success, the popular "Penelope, you are forced to a conclusion reached long ago that she acts with more telling this fall.

Hut do yon honestly believe they will be rlad to see me nijaln I'm craxy over America. I've crowsed the ocean twenty-two times, always with these two maids, who are sick as soon as they see a gangplank, and I have to take care of them all the wv over. Twenty-two times! Think of that. "Yes. In November, and 1 suppose I wl" play Mr. Maugham's piece all the time 1 am there. If It Is liked and of course It will be, don't you think so? I believe there are certain little touches In that clever work that nobody but Americans coMld ap preciate. Its eg-tra-or-dl-rarlly bright, don't you think so?"

Majogham and Fitch anal noslnesa. "Isn't It fine that a man mnkes his suc cess when he has practically all the world before him to enjoy It In? So many, and It seems to me that Is the great tragedy of life, get what they want, but they get It , when the spirit of enjoyment has been killed by friction and dlsappolntme.it and the waiting and worrying. If I had to j define happiness I should call It getting t what you want In life when you wont It. Oh. Mr. Maugham Is one of the lucky ones, i "Clyde Fitch Is another. Isn't he? And ; their work Is much alike? Yes? Kx- traordinarlly so. I should say. only per- ; haps Maugham's Is a little more subtle. the dialogue a trifle more sophisticated, ' but that may be that he has not written as much as Mr. Fitch has. Mr. Maugham says he got to know women by reading their magazines, do you believe It? I , wonder If yfrlyde Fitch did, too?" Miss Tempest Interrupts herself to say ; that you cannot stay a minute, not a single j minute after she begins. to get ready fori her part as It makes her too terribly nerv ous to have anybody around at that mys- i terlous moment of her career and you ; promise with equal emphasis that you will run the very second you see the beginning of preparation. The conscience of b.ith being satisfied, you sink Into your chair with a staying expression on your fac;, and Miss Tempest begins to prepare for her J cue as If nothing had been said on the subject. Bhe lights another cigarette and takes up the phrase at the point of dis location. What She Wants to Play. "Next to 'Penelope,' I should love to play 'Truth' In Amerlce. I suppose there Is no question that It la Mr. Fitch's mas terpiece; It does not seem to me that there could be. But the reviving It Is a matter of taste entirely. "I might be accused by the friends of Mrs. IJloodgood of trying to Institute com parisons and that would be the furthest from my thoughts. It Is one of my best parts and one In which I have always taken special Interest; besides that, the psychology Is so Interesting. Oh, the hundreds of women I know Just like that, who wauld rather lie than eat, lie, and lie, and lie until finally It gets to be sec ond nature and they don't know when they do It. They are absolutely Ignorant of the havoc this pleasing custom creates and they go on until they come a cropper as they did In the play or else they sim ply leave a pernlcous trail of evil behind them entangling others In a web of deceit, the Innocent suffering for the guilty. It shouldn't be allowed to drop from the stage; It's a perennial lesson in morals. Carries Her Cherished Thlnsra. "It's a great thing, Is It not, to leave a cherished remembrance when one steps from one life to the other or even when In this life you change from one role to another. I think It was the fear of failure and the parallel wish to grow old grace fully that made me decide to leave the operatic stage for the dramatic, not but what you can be an operatic singer and Infuse a little dramatic action Into your part, but I use the terms merely to dis tinguish my present career from the past. "Ono day I stopped short. I had made a success, really a satisfying success In ths operas I had attempted, 'Mignon' and 'Martha' and 'Manon' and the last light opera 'The Red Hussar," which I ap peared In on the other side was especially well liked. "But the strain the fearful, nervous strain. I don't believe there is anything quite so bad In the world. In comedy you can hop In on one leg If the other Is broken, and what's the difference? But In opera you must have a voice strange and novel as the Idea may sound It's up to you, the opera singer, to convince the public not only that you have It but that you have It In good condition.

You bav, true, whether It Is husky or clear, whether you are going to mske god or not. and that strain goes on night after night and night after night. Sometimes I have been ready to scream aloud in sheer hysterical panic Heroes Before Footlights. "If a man felt as afraid at the moment of facing the battlefield he would turn and run. I believe that the footlights have shown on more heroic people than the glare of war Itself. Sometimes the tragedy of these struggles will be written by one who knows the bodies crippled with pain and sickness, the aching heads, the tired brains, the exhausted villians and the compared it to Its advantage with some oflhr0ln"'' loathing their virtuous words the rooms dedicated to like purpose, where with scarcely loom for two and the maid, you have Into viewed celebrities in New Tork playhouses.

'I think I have been more lucky than primary Importance In my scheme of life, which does not mean that I value it less on that account. Many a night after the curtain ring- down on the last act I slip Into a change of clothes here, or. If I have time, at my house on Cumberland Terrace, and appear later at a concert or In a drawing room. I have had more suc cess In this line during the present season than ever before, and I could sing every afternoon and every night If I wanted to. I still give the preference to the songs of Chaminade, which are tremendously liked for drawing room work In London, and are to my mind the most perfect ever written for the purpose. Plays She Bajoys. "Besides my own matinees here at the Comedy, I have played also several times this season In special performances. The ones I enjoyed the most of all were the revivals of the old Robertson plays, par ticularly Taste." Wonderful how that lives. The audiences seemed keen to catch every word. It Just shows you that the rtal. human touch never falls and has no epoch. That Is alive today, and think how old It Is." "Why aren't American plays popular In London?" you ask the conversation has turned In a transatlantic direction. Miss Tempest turns her hand with a quick birdlike motion which Is one of her characteristic poces, lights another cigar ette and answers: "I thought they were, that Is sorne of them. Certainly 'Mrs. Wlggs of the Cob bajre Patch' came In on rubbers, no one over here had ever heard of It, and It had a tremendous success. You understand that Is because It is the one play that has depicted Americans as the average Englishman believes them to be? I won der I really wonder. I never thought of that before. Extraordinarily! Trouble nlth Americana. "The trouble Is that Americans rxpect all their plays that come over here to succeed. You ought to be satisfied with a fair average. A lot of our plays go to you and are flat failures, but I think it Is truo on both sides that the really fine play gets and keeps Its hearing."
