An Interviewless Interview With Maude Adams
lone actress who is shy
Yes. do come In. I just love re
porters. Don’t step on Hinky-Din
ky-Zoo, my pet Madagascar poodle.
He was given me by the Umghat
of Sisaboomah after seeing me
dane-- the woola-wuola. What is
my favorite color? Long green.
< >h, let me hurry on and answer
ill the usual questions. I lik< my
eggs fried on the lower side; I
think kimonos are lovely; I’m a
suffragette, but never broke a win
dow* my favorite jewel is a cluster
of solitaire diamonds, and I think
motoring is tine; I've never been
up in an airship, but here are some
late photos of me sitting in one
and looking happy; yes. I’m glad
Wilson was elected, for I'm a
staunch Democrat when I'm on the
Southern tour: yes, I think South,
-■rn women ar-- the prettiest and th*
brightest and Atlanta is the great
est city I know, and I'd rather play
here than anywhere—is that
enough
That’s til- kind of an interview Miss
Mamie Adams might have given out if
she had given an;, .it all —but she didn’t.
It is on- of the traditions of Charles
I’rohman's organization that Miss Ad
ams mustn’t be Interviewed. It is the
principal duty of her manager, her
maid and the call boy to form a cordon
around her boudoir and See that she
isn’t interviewed.
<me of the most common sights of a
Maude Adams tour Is the horde of an
gry newspaper men and women, pushed
back to the curb by the mounted po
lic< squad and weeping bitterly as they
aie balked of their anticipated inter
views. There is a legend that one in
genuous reporter disguised himself as
a cup of tea and succeeded in gaining
•ntrame to her private dining room.
But There's the Manager!
“Hon many lumps, please?” asked
the waiter. “Three,” replied Miss Ad
ams. Throwing off his disguise the
reporter rushed to catch the waiting
presses. But tile manager seized him
as he ran and hissed into his ear:
“Dare to put Miss Adams’ statement in
quote marks and Mr. Frohman will
deny it and your paper will be ruined
and you cast out to starve.”
And the reporter didn't. That hap
pened in Kansas City and afterward
in Louisville, Detroit ana Charlotte, N.
where the press agent was getting
an explosion from every cylinder and
the papers were easy marks.
The mysterious part of it is that no
body knows the reason why Miss Ad
urns will not be Interviewed. Can it be
that her lawyers—but no! Every day
in the lit- of Maude Adams since the
evening she made her stage debut in a
soup plate in Salt Lake City at the age
of nine months is known to the public.
There can be no fear of her dark and
mysterious past being divulged by care
less speech. No! The reason is—Mr.
Frohman's orders. Manager Williams
HIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912.
who has counted the cash for Mis*
Adams for live seasons, merely shakes
his head and replies:
“Mr. Frohman has Instrutced me to I
say Miss Adams can not be interviewed.
That Is all I can say. I port advice of
counsel, I decline to answer. Thank
you. Good-morning.”
She Once Wrote About Her Work.
But once upon a time Maude Adams
wyote an article for a magazine and in
this she expressed the revolutionary
and incendiary opinion that the public
really didn’t care a continental about
what an actress wore to breakfast or
how she fixed her hair, or whether her
summer farm was on Long Island or in
Breathitt county, Kentucky. Her opin
ion was that the public likes actresses
because they can act. She was willing
to write something about her plays and
which roles she liked best, but when it
came to the sad, sweet story of her in
ner life 'she begged to ring down the
curtain. And it may be that she is
right about it.
Perhaps there has never been a play,
er of the prominence of Maude Adams
about whom there has been so little
Said in the newspapers and magazines
beyond matters relating solely to her
work on the stage. Perhaps no other
actress of her popularity has -so seldom
been seen off stage by her admirers.
Did you ever hear of Maude Adams
taking tea with friends in Atlanta or
being seen at the ball game, or taking
a ride in somebody’s motor car?
Neither have we. She arrives in her
private car, goes to her hotel apart
ments, appears at her performance and
goes back to the hotel.
Fears Being Lionized.
If she goes driving for fresh air,
there’s no brass band leading the pro
cession and nobody knows it but herself
and her companions. And it doesn’t
seem to be haughtiness. Could you
imagine Maude Adams being haughty?
The few who have really met her and
chatted with her say it is rather shy
ness. She appears to be conscious of
being lionized and she doesn't like it.
Manager Williams says the revival of
i "Peter Pan" this season was made in
response to the public desire; that
everywhere Miss Adams went with
“What Every Woman Knows” the the
atergoers kept asking: "When is she
to play ‘Peter Pan’ again? My little
girl Is old enough to go to the theater
now. and 1 want her to see it.” And as
Mr. Barrie hadn’t written anything else
this year, except a half-dozen one-act
plays, Mr. Frohman decided to put on
"Peter Pan" again, and found it just as
I popular as in its first season. It has
been five years since "Peter” was seen
in Atlanta, and the audience last night,
the biggest the new theater has ever
■ known, showed that the Barrie classic
' was a popular choice, or perhaps the
same crowd would have been there if
Maude, Adams had been playing a
dramatization of the state geological
report, for Maude Adams herself Is
I enough, despite the remark of Mr.
■ Shakespeare that "The play’s the
. thing." But Shakespeare died before
the star system was in vogue.

St. Josephs academy, burned Wed
nesday, will b>- reopened in time for the
members of the graduating class to
qualify for their diplomas, according
to advices received by Atlanta patrons
of the school. Rather than disappoint
the students, who have worked to re

sisters of the academy have decided
to open temporary quarters and prd

Only the graduating and suit-grad

these limited quarters, but .they will be
assured of an opportunity to receive
their degrees and promotions in June.
The tenfporary college will be locat
ed on the old site in Washington, the
least damaged of the buildings being
used. Repairers already are at work
on them.
The college authorities are planning
to rebuild the college. The plans con
template handsome new structures, and

“Nearly a Quarter-Century of Leadership” :::|
I To the man who wants the finest J
|| motor-car in his neighborhood 0|
You want the finest car in your set, and that is what the Stevens-Duryea is from
now on—the finest of fine cars. It is here now—for you to see and try.
For nearly a quarter of a century the Stevens-Duryea has exercised a distinguished ffe:
leadership in originating and developing the vital and fundamental points in a motor
car. This is recognized through imitation by makers of others cars, and is proved
by the present high money-value of Stevens-Duryea used cars and by the fact that,
whereas many cars of twice the price have passed out of use, the Stevens-Duryeas of p
many years ago are among the most useful and valuable cars today. jjT
And now, with its njew C-Six, the Stevens-Duryea carries its leadership into new
fields. Just as in the past, it has set new standards of mechanical perfection, so, in the
new C-Six, the Stevens-Duryea has gone so far ahead of the rest of the motor-car world
in beauty of outline; its provisions for ease and convenience; in quietness; in complete i J
equipment for the operation of the car and enjoyment by its passengers; and, on top of §
U U all this, has made such strides in the development of active power, that it may proper- |
ly be called an entirely new kind of car. " 4 I
