Many Charms. is stared at good deal
by the casual passers
by, says New York writer. She looks
astonishing young, younger even than
her age, which is not much over twenty.
The photographs do not do her justice,
as is usually the case with these sun
pictures. because OF their leaving out
her remarkable eolorIng, without which
she can hardly be called a pretty
woman, for her face, despite its extreme
youthfulness of expression, is too
strong and serious for the ideal OF femi-
charmed by the pale, vivid gold of her
hair, and the tintS of her dazzling COM
plexion. She will need no make
up On the stage, for powder could
not improve the marvellous fairness of
her skin nor rouge the vivid redness of
her lips and cheeks, which have the
deep, warm rosiness of those of a very
young child. She is little thing,
which is perhaps a considerable draw
back, as height is great requisite to
good appearance and impressive effect
behind the footlights. but she is grace
full and has good carriage, which will
to certain extent take the place of
inches. She is spending the summer
very quietly at rented cottage down at
Point Lookout with her baby and her
sister, and is studying very hard for her
autumn debut. She lives a very retired
life and sees few people, though the
residents and visitors to the place exhibit
much curiosityabout her and always stop
to stare when she and her beautiful
baby appear together. He is short
coated, but not yet able to walk or talk,
for which deficiency he makes up by
great deal of vivacious babble and an
ability to crawl which less gifted
young one might we'll find reason to
envy. He is a magnificent little crea-
ture, which any father might have
reluctantly to be separated from. The
two make as pretty a picture together
as one would care to see in a month of
Sundays. There must certainly be
something very remarkable in this
young woman, for she has the most as
tonishing contract with her managers,
the like of which, it is safe to say, no
amateur ever began with before since
the art OF acting came into being. SheiS
not being exploited at all, but her man
ayers evidently have reason to believe
that she is a woman with very uncommon
powers to sign such terms as they have
made with her. 1t is needless to say
that she will have three times as much
money as that amiable and admirable
young person, whose name she bears.
would ever have been able to make for
her, and already, before she has ever
begun to do work her managers are fur
nishing her literally with money. Froh-
man has engaged to support her this
season the beautiful young Englishman,
Morton Selten, who was brought out
here by ROSina Vokes, whose leading
man he was all winter. He is the most
beautiful creature of the pink and white,
curly-headed EngliShman type, who is
nothing very surprising as an actor, but
who serves eXcellently we'll as sup
port for star and who is SO extremely
delightful to look at that only the most
hard-hearted could require anything
brilliant from him. He is a married
man whose wife, Kate Pattison, will
also be member of Mrs. Blaine's COM
pany, and will play second lady. They
will open some time in October and will
travel most of the winter.
