Nine. Modjeskn has received two impor-
tant offers during the past week, one to play
an engagement in London beginning next
March for o season of about three months,
the other to travel through the United States
the following season as the heroine Of Sar-
dou's play, Theodore" IL this can possibly
be arranged. T~heodora," 1t will be re-
membered, is the play in which poor Lillian
Olcott was seen in this country. II 10 said
that Miss Fanny Davenport Ia also anxious to
secure this link between Fedora" and L
Tosca" in the chain Of her Sardou roper
toire. II Ia not often that two stars are
anxious TO appear in the same thing. The
last instance Of the kind chronicled in TIL
EVENING WORLD was that Of Mrs. Langtry
and Mrs. Potter in q desire to produce
I" Antony and Cleopatra." In the present
case, however, Nine. Modjeska does not take
the initiative. She leaves that TO an energetic
manager. As to the question which Of the
two stars would be better suited to appear as
Theodore, there seems to be little doubt that
the part would fit Nine. Modjeska more
closely than the vigorous Miss Davenport.
