oAaE WILL BE AN ACTRESs

Anna Dickinson is about to forsake
the forum for the stage. This determine
ton has not been greeted with any pre-
diction by friendly critics that Miss
Dickinson will succeed In the new calling
she has decided to adopt. Miss Dickin-
son has been one of the most, If not the
most successful OF the female lecturers
who have appeared before the public in
the last ten years. But the qualities
which gave her success as q lecturer will
be of little or no benefit to her as an
actress. Beauty she never had time ha,
robbed her Of her youth, and nothing
but the display Of talent Of high order
will induce the public to pardon her for
being neither young nor beautiful.
