MISS MAUD FANE A STACE FAVOURITE PROCEEDING TO ENGLAND. PLANS EOR THE FUTURE. It has already been announced that at the conclusion of her present contract with Williamson and Co. Miss Maud Fane, who makes such a charming Marcello in "A Night Out” at the Opera House, is leaving the stage and retiring into private life as the wife of a naval officer in .England. "As a matter of fact,” Miss Fane confided to a "New Zealand Times’ representative yesterday, "I am being dragged off the stage. Aly husband wants me ut home, and my children need: a home, that is settled.” In fact her husband recently returned to England, taking their elder child, a little girl of three and a half, with him. The baliy, Peter, is with his mother in New Zealand, and in June they leave for England: to join the rest of the family. All the same, Miss Fane Is not so sure that, she is going to retire altogether into private life. If her husband remains in the navy and is stationed in some out-of-the-way port, where she can only see him occasionally, well, fUich a life would hardly appeal to her, end she may yet I ry her luck on the English musical comedy stage, and London may soon he taking her to its heart. Although Miss Fane has been back to England several times, her visits have always been private, to see her people, andi 6he has never had an oportunity of appearing there. Their own home, at Farnham, Surrey, has been let for some time, and the lease is not up for two years yet, so Alias Fane has time to make her appearance on the hoards in London beforehand, even should she elect to finally settle down to a country life in England. ’That is what: she is really looking forward to, to live in the country and not have to move on somewhere else.

..Although she loves her profession. Miss Fane confesses that she gets very tired of the constant moving on, and the work it entails night aiter night without any holidays, “for even on Sundays you are afraid of overdoing it for fear of not being fit to appear on Monday,” she says. Truly the members of the theatrical profession Eerve a hard taskmaster in the public, who demand they shall be always at their best, and it is a wonderful thing that they almost always are. Miss Maud Fane looks absurdly young to he a leading lady in her profession, and the mother of two children. But then she began work young, being only thirteen and a half,when she first went out to India and the Bast with a company. Even on her first visit to New Zeeland, with the "Scarlet Troubadours,” she was only sixteen. She also toured here in a similar company called the "Court Cards,” then in 1914 she was "snapped up” by the Williamson firm, who have kept her services ever since. Miss Fane has paid several visits to the Bast with companies, and she has also journeyed to Ebgland several times sdhee then, so that her life has been a particularly full and busy one, and it is not to be wondered that she feels the need of a rest.

It may be of interest to some folks to know that Miss Aland Fane is a Christian Scientist and has studied the subject quite a lot, and treats herself very often. She has found it a great help to her in her work, 6he says. The company have been having quite a strenuous time during their seasons in different planes, "A Night Out” proved most popular in Melbourne and' Sydney, where they ployed for neatly twenty weeks in each , place. Mr Percy only took ,up the part recently, which necessitated fresh rehearsals, while the other pieces, "Alary” and "Oh, Lady, Lady,” have been rehearsed during that timo. Even on the boat coming over a rehearsal was called, which, to the ordinary traveller, would' seem very hard lines On their return to Sydney the company will play "Mary,” which has not yet been seen there, and then in June Miss Fane will say farewell to Australia for a long time. Australia and New Zealand also will hope to see her out here again, however, and it is good news that she has not definitely closed the door- on that hope.

A delightful half hours’ experience awaits every TOman who tries her first "Kemolite” Beauty Mask. Just as the mud-baths achieve much for health, so the "Kemolite,” imported direct from’the volcanic wells of the Carpathians, will do for skin and complexion beauty.
