Chicago News letter.
Mr.. Lawrence Barrett has a strong
literary ambition. He pays more to be
called scholarly than talented. The
''learned Lawrence" Is said to BIO hap
py phrase OF his own coming.
Sothern was good deal In the same
way. Some OF the things which Felix
de Fontaine wrote for him gave him
quite reputation rs literary man.
Lawrence Barrett, however, can write
some, as tie North american Reviep
shows. But Sothern's literary reputa-
zion laid away over the North American.
Frank Mayo always had philosoph-
ical weakness. He thought he was a
born motaphysician, and Len Grover is
pursued by monomania that he is an
international lawyer and an authority
ON copyright. Cazauran boasts that he
is the great play adaptor Of the age, and
that Boucicault IL an imitator of his
methods. Jimmy O'Neill has Chris
tian weakness, and Charles Thome actu-
ally believes he can paint. John
Brougham used to think that he was an
orator, and old Burton went down to
his grave under tho delusion that he was
q tragic actor.
Similarly Miss Clara Louise Kellogg,
the singer, has for years had a mania
that she il All actress, and Miss Emma
Abbott is known to her personal friends
10 have given way TO foolish notion
that she could sing, and Steele Mackaye,
IL 81. Ns.N. hsa tsf1 a..
turning lathes and work benches,
bounded on by the insane notion that
he is great inventor.
There Is Mr.. Harrigan, of Harrigan Il
Hart, who has nearly ruined himself
with the within that he can write emo
tional dramas and play them. Minnie
Cummings, the actress, believes that she
is society woman, and A. M. Palmer,
of the Union Square Theater, has got II
weakness to be considered fast man.
As there is no end to the monomanias,
so there is no end to the antipathies of
managers and actors. Janauschek for
the past sixty years, at least, has had an
unconquerable aversion to lsitting for her
photograph. Clara Morris is said to
have an antipsthy to solid food. Rose
Eytinge has foolish prejudice against
pork and Persian plays. Lewis Morri-
son is said to be Calvinist. George
Clark's puritanical prejudice against wo.
man makes him almost an ascetic, and
Manager Stetson has get crazy hatred
of comic opera. by the way, speaking
of George Clarke, everybody knows
that when he was not acting he was in
venting new sleeping car, and L n
Grover has given some Of the best years
of his life to the perfeoting new flying
machine.
Then, to top all. we come to the super
stitions. Campanini spends more money
for horse-shoes than for maccaroni.
Gerster believes that it is unlucky to
sing under her own name. Vivo be.
ISses that red coral is healthy. and
Brignoli always travels with Jew.
Sheridan Shook has got superstition
that gin and sugar makes the world go
round and will keep off billiards., and
old McVicker has been trying for years
to get somebody to dramatic Sweden
borg.

Two Irishmen came to guide.post on
wide and desolale plain. II was get

The Craze for Stuffed owls.

The "owl craze" is worse than ever.

men as that. Yet | used to be glad to

Those great horned owls are worth $40
each. The barred, long cared and
short-sared owls, the latter sometimes
known as the swamp or meadow owl.
are worth 81 each. Barred owls made
into screen are worth So. They are
not much wanted in fancy forms, how
ever. either as screens or in flying atti-
tudes. The owls strongest suit is his

Each year a grand trial of skill was
