Olive Logan's Opinion OF; Of the Theatrical Pro-
MISS OLIVE LOGAN, actress, lecturer, and woman's
rightSt, has taken advantage OF the opportunities
afforded her in the last-named capacity to comment
upon the modern theatrical tendencies in rather
pointed manner. In speech at Steinway Hall last
week she 'ptched in" rather strongly the subject
of burlesque leg business and the bleached, blonde
Brtons who are now reaping golden harvest by
displaying their charms to admiring American
audiences. Against the golden-haired interpreters OF
burlesque, Olive has her special grievances Their
hair, rumor be true, is dyed yellow while the
golden tint OF her waving curs is the gift of nature
they padded, while she does not require any such
extraneOus aids to exc out meagre array of per
sonal charms and last but not least, they succeed
on the stage and she did not. This last fact is o
itself snficient to account for the fac
of the fair Olives antpathy TO the theatrical profes
sion, and her statements therefore must be takeI
cum grano sails. The following spicy card wa
elected by the comments OF the New York Times OF
Miss Lopan's speech, and the eXaggerations whicl
distinguish it certainly characteristic OF the neV
line OF business that Olive has lately taken up Sh
is new convert TO wOmans rRhtlsnl, and her zeal Il
the cause has therefore all the ardor OF the novice
or buresdde we have had enough and to spare
late but II is very certain that in no theatre in tn
country any such questions as MISS Logan sue
