THE SUNNY SOUTH THIRD TAGS * This Beautiful Woman Glories ^ ^ In Her Ability To Be Hideous ^ ET the feminine nature be . torn to bits and analyzed, and above all other ini- , pulses •will be found the | desire lo b* beautiful. And the more homely my ( lady may be, the greater naturally tier desire to .be | the thing. The average woman I •SeerTttliy eubcuits to any I torture to add to lier| charms, but when that I woman happens also to I &>» an actress, then according j to all dramatic history she would! be drawn and quartered if that j process would enhance the lines of j ber figure, smooth away the wrinkles' of age in her face, give her beautiful ! hair or clear tlio complexion. 1 he thousands of beauty experts, the; milliners and modistes, the army of ! manufacturers of lotions, hair dyes, i symmetricals and flesh producers, testify I to the truth of the general observation j that from babyhood to grave the main j end of a woman’s life is to be attrae- j live and beautiful. But not all women. There Is one conspicuous exception, and I to complete the marvel of it, she is an j actress. Alice Hageman is her name, and it is j one she is advancing to a point not held by any other feminine delineator of eo-' centric character. .Noted triumphs in ••Lovers' Lane,” and ‘Peggy from Paris,” have been followed by a slili more marked New York success in "ilis ; Majesty.” When in a poor part and a stupid play several critics of tiie metrop olis singled out Miss llu.geman's work as an exception to the mediocrity of tin ■whole, and paid tribute to that ran tiling in theaterdom—.“something new. But it is not as an actress. Miss llago- man deserves mention. Nor is site en tirely remarkable for the fact that a sense of art has made her willing to sacrifice that which most women deem; dearest. It is a scientific expert on "How to be Ugly” that Miss Hageman ; classes alone. A UNIQUE DISTINCTION. She is very proud of the fact that she Is the ugliest woman on the stage. Off the boards she is a graceful willowy blonde, of a beauty that would attract I ried without reaching the impossible. In a few opinions expressed recently she furnished a few thoughts on make-up that many an older artist might study with profit. “,‘vlh'ke-up ought to be so good,” she said, "that even those on the front rows are deceived. When I play the role of an old woman I expect everybody who has ever seen me before, or does not know my age, to assume that the part is being played by an old woman. If I fall in that I feel that 1 am not properly made rp or am acting the role poorly. “Bad” Man, With Startling Record, YOU GET « TUT J. «y • P J « WITH A LAME BACK?

Our Another of Miss Hageman’s Eccentric Make-Up paradox. Miss Hageman ranks as: The prettiest ugly woman. This is a rare distinction for a young American girl. Ordinarily the portray al of the hideous before the footlights is left to the veteran players, male and i could do 'the female, those who have played many. Her Mrs. parts and are close to the seventh age j Paris,” is 1 in natural appearance. The newcomers, peldoni have the willingness to deiiber- i ately seek the parts of the aged and repulsive, but even if they have, they; lack the make-up experience to get the right effects. But at twenty. Miss Hageman has gone so deeply into the matter of what, produces ugliness in the human face and form, that when a manager of a big production has a character that com mands skill in this line, he seeks Miss (Hageman as a matter of course. There is no one else who so thoroughly grasps the grotesque. The 'beauty quest is as old as Eve. | Miss Hageman introduces ugliness as a j tine art. She tortures herself to get new means of being homely. The desire to play eccentric roles came to Miss Hageman almost simultaneously with her debut in San Francisco at thff, age of sixteen. Managers to whom she expressed the preference laughed at her, and advised that a girl of her beauty ought to leave the ugly roles alone. “Let the fat 'back numbers do that •ort of thing,” was one form of discour agement that came often to the aspi-1 rant for honors in eccentric comedy. Had she been less enthusiastic. Miss {Hageman might have given up, but site . a aw a, great future for a young woman who could introduce a new form of I character acting. iHer “Peranella” in "Bocacclo,” with ! angular lines and long, pointed nose, 1 ^lves as a notable instance of opera j burlesque at Its best.

THe remarkable nose she wore in that j production was as awesome as the one •Richard Mansfield donned in his great Cyrano De Bergerac make-up. She designed It herself. Despite the monster eize of the proboscis it was natural to a degree, and seemed to belong to iter j Jace, which is more than can be said for most extremes of make-up. (Miss Hageman tells with some degree Of (pardonable pride that she got the but once they saw the completed effect j men behaved they admitted fliat the young girl knew more about make-up than the most ex perienced of them.

Miss Hageman in any company always has to get to the theatre before anyone | else, in order to have time for the trans formation. In her person. Miss Hageman proves that it is much easier to be beau tiful on the stage than ugly. In none of her parts can she make tip in less than an hour and a half, and sometimes it takes as much as two hours, never she sees a woman who particularly in the early stages of a new make-up.

I was struck twice, but slightly hurt. Comrades near me I saw covered with blood, their faces black with powder, fighting on. The dead lay everywhere unnoticed. Again I was biting cart ridges and hurrying with that awful ramrod. A Confederate shot his ramrod through my hand. I was too busy, too excited, too hot, too thirsty, to think of it—to think of anything but loading and firing and standing my ground. We were winning Vicksburg right there, making Grant president that afternoon..

Would that awful line in front of us ever give way? That was all. The terrific fighting continued. 1 emptied my musket forty times, at men in front of me. Some took cartridges from the dead and fired fifty, sixty times. Once we were being flanked. A boy ran up to me crying: 'My regiment has run. What will I do?’ 'Load and fire.' He did, until both his legs were shot off by a cannon ball. That was war! I was getting adventure, too—lots of it’ Before sundown the battle was over. Leaving our dead unburied, our wounded in the woods, we hurried on. We had taken Vicksburg, out there under The magnolia trees of Champion hills. The ! awful fighting for the city forts, later, been in vain had Grant’s been defeated that afternoon in May. We went on to the Black rivet; and fought again. Not knowing of our victories, the government ordered Grant to abanlon the campaign; let Vicksburg go. Think of it!
