Maggie Mitchell Closes the Wcek---
Robson & Crane This Week.
Maggie Mitchell closed a weeks engage
ment at the Grand last night before an au-
dience much larger than those that have
greeted her during the week. However,
she has done profitable business beside
mpressing the fact more deeply on the
minds of the people of st. Paul that she is
without an equal on the American or Euro
pean stage in her peculiar roles.
Maggie the Midget was written for Mag
gle Mitchell by Fred Williams, of the
Boston Ideals. 1t is a delightful
piece of dramatic work and Maggie Mitchell
fits the part of the Midget just as naturally
as if she had been born in the play. "PeO-
pie have a notion that Maggie is getting
old" said Mr.. Paddock TO the GLOBE the
other day. but that is a mistake. She
: has been on the stage since she was Q years
old. and being precociOus child she soon
forged her way TO the front and ii is be-
cause that she has been known to the public
for good VIII le they imagine she must be
growing old, assuming, as they do that she
was a woman of mature age before she be-
gan to star. Yes, Maggie has a good COM
petence laid by, enough to live ON comfort
ably, but she can't quit the stage. It's an
inspiration with her. Acting is q
part of her nature. The stage is
her home and she would be
lonely away from 1t. Yes, she is a con-
scientious actor. 1t makes no difference to
her whether there is only one person in the
audience or whether she is playing to a
} $40. 600 house there is no variableneSs in
her acting, She is the same always and
under all circumstances"
