The Home of the MelOdrama

In 1902 a tradesman named John Scott, a
color maker in the Strand, the inventor of a
new dye called "True Blue by which he
had made large fortune, bought up the
lease of some ruinOus dwellings, which he re-
built at cost of 100000. The principal of
these was a small theatre. which he called
The Sans Parel. 1t was opened on Nov u,
1906, with variety entertainment. consist
ing of optical and mechanical illusions, songs,
recitati0ns, and limitations. But these were
very soon developed into regular dramatic
performances. The prices were: boxes, As {;
pit %. gallery, Is. The doors were opened
at $50. and the play began at 6 30, with half
price TO boxes at $50 The bright particu-
lar star of the place was Miss Scott, the
daughter of the lessee. Occasionally in the
casts of the pieces we come across a few
names that were afterward well known, but
as a rule the company was made up of no.
bodies, Miss Scott excepted. To say the
least. that lady, whatever her histrionic abili-
ties might have been, was tremendously en-
ergetic and industrious person, for she not
only performed in all the pieces except the
pantomimes, but, according to the playbills,
wrote them nearly all; at the bottom of
three fourths of the programmes there is a
line in italics which informs the reader that
'the whole of this evenings entertainment is
written by Miss Scott" Sometimes this
statement is modified-Miss Scott has only
rearranged the scenes and situations. but she
has always had finger in the pie; her name
has always line to itself, Is preceded by an
"And," and is printed in very large caps,
which strongly contrast with the very small
type that is deemed sufficient for everybody
else. unless it be some stray star from Drury-
Lane or Covent Garden-s star at the Sans
PARCEL, though a very small satellite in its
own dramatic horizon. Upon one occasion

Aged Beauties.
FAsCINATIoNs OF WOMEN WHO WERE Nc
LONGER YOUNG.

Helen of Troy was over forty when she
perpetrated the most famous elopement
on record.
Pericles welded Aspasia when she was
thirty six, and yet she afterward, for
thirty years or more, welded an undi-
minished reputation for beauty
Cleopatra was past thirty when Antony
fell under her spell, which never lessened
till her death, nearly ten yeats afterward
Livia was thirty-three when she won the
heart of Augustus, over whom she main
tanned her ascendency to the last.
Turning to modern history, where it is
possible to verify dates more accurately,
we have the extraordinary De Poictiers,
who was thirty-seven when Henry H.
then Duke of Orleans, and Just half her
age-became attached to her, and she
was held as the first lady and most beau
hful woman at court up to the period of
the monarch's death and the accession to
power of Catherine de Medicis.
Anne of Austria was thirty.eight when
she was described as the handsomest
queen of Europe, and when Buckingham
and Richelieu were her Jealous admirers.
Ninon de Lenclos. the most celebrated
wit and beauty of her day, was the idol of
three generations of the golden youth of
France. and she was seventy-two when
the Able de Berais fell in love with her.
True it is that in the case of this ladv
rare combination of culture. talents and
personal attractions endowed their DOS
SCISSOR seemingly with the gifts of eternal
youth.
Blanca Capello was 80 when the Grand
Duke Francisco of Florence fell captive
to her charms and made her his wife.
though he was five years her junior.
Louis XIV. welded Nine. de Mainte-
non when she was 43 years of age.
Catherine III. of Russia was 80 when
she seized the empire of Russia and can.
tivated the dashing young Gen. Orloff
Up to the time of her death, at 81. she
seemed to have retained the same bewitcb-
ing powers, for lamentations were heartfelt
among all those who had ever known her
personally.
Mile. Mars, the celebrated French ira.
gedienne, only attained the zenith of her
beauty and power between 40 and As. At
that period the loneliness of her hands es.
pecially was celebrated throughout
Europe
The famous Nine. de Recamier was "a
when barras was ousted from power, and
she was without dispute declared TO be
the most beautiful woman in Europe.
which rank she held for Is years.
