r«k Hageman's Make-Up Book By MAURICE HAGEMAN Price, 25 cents The importance of an effective make-up is becoming more appar« ent to the professional actor every year, but hitherto there has been no book on the subject describing the modern methods and at the same time covering all branches. of the art. This want has now been filled. Mr. Hageman has had an experience of twenty years as actor and stage-manager, and his well-known literary ability has enabled him to put the knowledge so gained into shape to be of use to others. The book is an encyclopedia of the art of making up. Every branch of the subject is exhaustively treated, and few ques- tions can be asked by professional or amateur that cannot be an- swered by this admirable hand-book. It is not only the best make- up book ever published, but it is not likely to be superseded by any other. It is absolutely indispensable to every ambitious actor. CONTENTS Chapter I. General Remarks.

ILLINOIS IN GRANNY'S TIME A MONOLOGUE FOR A WOMAN By LAURA WILLIAMS Copyright 1916 By The Dramatic Publishing Company CHICAGO THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY '249 <0 n^ * «*^ 4 DEC 26 V |9I6 ©CLD 45735 IN GRANNY'S TIME Monologue for a Young Woman. In Granny's time things went so slow and everyone was so polite. The songs, the books, the dance, the show were always perfectly all right. They used to sing in dainty voice and manner so demure, songs of sacred meaning with text so sweet and pure. [Sings "In the Gloaming" or verse of any old-fashioned song.] But nowadays it's just the other way. Ah — quite another way. The songs she used to sing no longer hold their sway. But songs we like today are sung this way : [Sings chorus of any popular song in exaggerated manner.] In Granny's time they used to walk with stately tread or mincing step. Not raising head nor looking round. Eyes kept demurely on the ground. [Walks about with small steps, etc., to " Auld Lang Syne."] But now the girls you're sure to meet on Tremont or on any street don't walk as Granny used to do. Watch and keep a few in view. [Walks with exag- gerated stride to popular music.'] In Granny's time they used to walk the minuet with- out a care. In gown of silk with rose in hair. [Whis- pers.'] She flirted so discreetly no one knew it. [Dances minuet, smiling coquetishly and shyly at imaginary partner.] But, alas, these days ! We dance a wild step dance. In shirt waist suit or skirt. And laugh and prance. In the dance we care not who sees us flirt. [Dances modern dance, wildly laughing and talking to partner.] [Pauses, steps forward.] 3 4 IN GRANNY'S TIME Dear Granny's time, we've said farewell to you. The things you did so well we've not the time to do. But fashions change so rapidly ; perhaps we some day yet may see in our granddaughters sweet and pure reflections of those grandmammas demure.
