NIL NnnI- NNnnlA

AS an illustration of the snobpery
that affects our society it may be
remarked that Miss Terry, the Eng
lish actress, on her opening night
here received a car load of floral
offerings. Many of the donors had
never seen the lady on the stage.
They knew that she was an English
artistic of great repute, and so the
sweet roses and posies were rolled
in. An American actress might
achieve great distinction in the
West, and yet come to New York
and play without receiving so much
as hand bouquet, unless it came
from kinsman in the box office.
Mary Anderson was a recognized
star in the West when she first Wis
tied New York professionally, and
she found great difficulty in securing
theatre to play in. When she re-
turns from England with the trade
mark of the Prince of Wales on her
our snobs will probably smother her
with paHsies.
