Miss Gladys Hanson Attributes
Her Rapid Progress to Train
ing by E. H. Sothern.
From the masses to the stage may
be a poetic routi to histrionic fume,
but if Gladys Hanson, an Atlanta girl
who has won a high place for herself
in the theatrical world, is to be be
lieved, it's the girl with education and
refinement who stands the better
chance of suet ess.
Miss I! 'Il-on in real life Mis Snook,
has played many parts, though she still
's young in the profession. Her most
notable efforts were when she war
leading woman with E 11. Sothern ami
later with Kyrle Bellow. Miss Hanson
has been spending part of the summer
in Atlanta with her family.
"Os course, it is easier and quicker
for a young, gentlewoman to win sue
-1 on Hie stage," said Miss Hanson
'Naturally It i- easier for one whr
ha • had the advantages of a careful
upbringing and a g >od educational
training, provided, of course, that due
account Is taken of individual ability
and talent. A gltl must have a knowl
edge of social usages and know how
to appear a gentlewoman before she
can take such a role on the stag- For
success she requires not only a good
■<.motion, but a know!-dge of music
: ind elocutionary drilling”
She Began at the Top.
These things were nece«sa y a- a
| foundation for a girl's career, said Miss
Hnnst n. nd the gir l of good family and
position usually had those things tn be
cin with Those were not all the qunli
' ft' .i: - t.ii Miss Hanson \ t .ot -
ic > kn« - edge of v chnique w nec-
essary to the finished artist and she,
therefore, recommended to anxious be
ginners that they start from the ranks.
"Other qualifications being equal, the
girl of social standing has the advan
tage." said Miss Hanson. "Hut she
should not begin at the top. no matter
what her previous training for the
stage has been Only the actual work
can furnish the experience necessary
and that can bo gained more thorough
ly and with a g.eater degree of cer
tainty by taking a small role in a stock
company, playing many unimportant
parts am' gradually rising to a posi
tion of responsibility.
Miss Hanson was reminded that she
began at the top
"Yes. I began almost at the top," she
admitted. "Hut that is no reason why
that is the best way; in fact, if 1 hud
not been playing with Mr. Sothern or
some one like him tarn' I don't think
there is any on;- else like Mr. Sothern
or like his company, which Is an organ
ization unique in the theatrical world)
1 should probably have failed. Hi was
willing to work with me, training me '
at reheat sals. morning, noon and night. I
with patience and understanding of
limitations and with the kindness to
exeuso and the ability to obviate any
failure on my part. This is excep
tional In an actor of note
To Be in New Play.
"Then, too, 1 had the advantage of
being a member of a rept toire com
pany. of which there nre only two or
threi in the country, so that the avei -
age beginner would not have this
chance I played nine parts in two
year* and my experience was some
what similar to that I would have hud
in a stock company, only much mo e
Irving And even with all my special
and exceptional advantages, the strain
was something awful. Aly experience
was gained under a far greater re
sponsibility than is best for a certain
success."
Miss Hanson said that in all of the
roles taken by her she had had need
for the natural el-arm and social graces
which she possesses.
Her new part in "The Governor's
Lady" calls for poise, she said.
Miss Hanson leaves for New York
September 24. and begins rehearsals
for the neyv Belasco play on the 29t11.
"The Governor's Lady" fvill be given
first at the Republic thiater. on Octo
ber 17.

Railroad Commissioner May
Not Know It, But He Was
in Near-Fight.
Joseph F. Gray, of Savannah, mem
ber of the state railroad commission
and candidate for re-election, may or
i may not be aware of the fact today
that he almost had a fight with Tom
Matson. McDuffie statesman and au
thor. in the lobby of the Kimball house
at 9 o’clock last night.
But it is a fact, according to ,T. J.
Brown, assistant agricultural commis
sioner and candidate for the commis
i sionership, and J. A. Smith, a news
paper man of Talbotton, both boon
companions and supporters of Watson.
According to the tales told by eye
witnesses and subscribed to by Kimball
house loungers, things looked warm for
several minutes, but Brown and Smith
succeeded in steering the little drama
over the rough spots, bringing it to a
finis of an anti-climax variety.
A. O. Blalock, Jr . son of the Fay
etteville senator of similar name who
is a candidate for commissioner of
i agriculture and is at present engaged
in a heated newspaper altercation with
, J. J. Brown, i- said to have been the
, cause of the fight that might have been.
■ but never was. At least J. J. Brown
says that Watson, who spent three
hours in Atlanta yesterday, had been
informed that Blalock was going to

Defies Senate Naming Suc
cessors to Dr. Pound and
J. C. Langston.
Governor Brown today ignored the
senate’s confirmation of the Hoke
Smith appointments to the state board
of education. At a called meeting of
the board held In the office of the state
school superintendent, he issued com
missions to his own nominees.
In throwing down the gauntlet to
the senate the governor filed the first
gun of what promises to.be a long bat
tle to test the legality of the various
sets of appointments. As has been
freely predicted, if Dr. Jere M. Pound
and -J. U- 1-rf.ngston. the ousted Smith
members, press their claims on the
strength of senate confirmation only a
supreme court decision can bring the
altercation to an end.
Dr. Pound Ousted
With J. C. Langston.
G. R. Glenn, president of the North
Georgia Agricultural college. was
named by Governor Brown to succeed
Dr. Jere M. Pound, of Athens, and A.
H. Moon, of Baxley, was given a com
mission instead of J. C. Langston, of
Sylvania. Waiter Steed and T. .1.
Wooster. upon whom there were no
contests, were recommissioned. Messrs.
Glenn. Moon, Steed and the governor
were present at the meeting. M. L.
Brittain, state school commissioner, a
member of the board by virtue of his
office, was out of the city and T. .1.
Wooster. who is in North Carolina, was
also absent. By virtue of the terms of
the educational act the governor is
chairman of the educational board.
Brown Questions
Senate’s Power.
The fight of the appointees to the
board of education began when the
senate failed to confirm Governor
Brown’s appointments superseding
Pound and Langston witii Glenn and
Moon. The governor then withdrew
his nomination. The senate called for
the minutes of the executive office re
cording the Smith appointments of
September 8, 1911, and the governor
acquiesced to the request, but informed
the senate that the names appearing
on the minutes were sent in merely
for the senate's information and were
not to be considered as nominees.
After several star chamber squab
bles the senate decided that it would
use the names on the minutes as nomi
nees. practically making the appoint
ments itself. The Smith list was con
firmed. Governor Brown’s theory is
that since the senate can not make ap
pointments, but may only approve, re
ject or refuse to consider the upper
house, has exceeded the authority vest
ed in it by the constitution and the
educational act.
