I can lend you to the stage for a while--until I come for you in that glad hour when your lips shall bid me--but in the meantime I want you to be true to yourself, to the spirit of art within you.

I want you to accomplish the highest purposes of your dreams; to interpret that in life which is worthy of interpretation." "You believe I can ?" "I know you can.

Never from that first night, when I stood in the wings and watched, have I ever questioned the possibilities of your future.

You have art, emotion, depth of true feeling, application, a clear understanding of character--all that ever made any actress great.
I love you, Beth; yet mine is a love too unselfish not to tell you this truth and stand aside rather than block your future." She lifted her eyes to him, now cleared of their tears, and shining with eagerness.
"I will do all you say," she said earnestly, "do it because I love you.
It shall not be for the people, the applause, the glitter and display, but alone for you.

Whenever a triumph comes to me, I shall meet it whispering your name in my heart, knowing that you rejoice because I am proving worthy of your faith.
