this season. The newspapers are said to be at
the bottom Of this, too. The st. Louis press
is principally blamed. When the famous
svoman last appeared in that city the critics
assailed her numerically. Not one Of the
manifold beauties which the critics of other
cities had seen in her acting could their st.
Louis brethren perceive. And they said so
in such plain English that the actress felt it
keenly. Then, not long ago, the story that
she had been placed in an English lunatic
asylum went the rounds of the American
press. That, it is claimed, was the last straw.
She felt that she had been affronted far past
the atoning power Of the American dollar.
She decided not to visit America. No, never.
Well-that is, not this season anyway.
The retirement of Helen Dauvray-Ward
causes genuine regret to thousands of Ameri-
can playgoers. With this case the papers
have nothing to do They have never treated
Mrs Ward in other than the kindest fashion,
and no one thinks that she doesn't deserve MI
the praise they have given her, and more,
too. Here is an actress of n thousand. Her
fame is not notoriety. She has gained every
bit Of it by honest, hard and intelligent work.
Her real maiden name was Helen Williams.
She FIRST stood behind the footlights when she
was only years old as Eva in "Uncle Toms
Cabin" Years later, after she had won
something of reputation in the States, she
went to Australia and earned fortune. 1t
occurred to her that she was not well eda-
Gated. She stopped acting, studied hard and
remedied the defect. Finally she went to
France.
Then, in Paris, her old love for the stage
suddenly came back. She thought the mat
ter over and decided to make her debut in 4
French theatre. She talked with Partisan
managers, but they all pooh-poohed the

climbing up on chairs to get glimpse. At
that time her father was the dean of Jersey.
Many stories have been told about her
married life, some people alleging that the
separation was all her husbands fault, and
others claiming the Jersey Lily was the
transgressor. She has been on the stage for
more than seven years, having made her de

the withdrawal has occurred. Mrs. Carriers
friends claim that she has talent and would
make great success on the stage; but the
unenviable notoriety given her by the most
sensational divorce suit ever tried in an
American court would probably tend to
diminish her box Office receipts rather than
increase them as some people seem to think.

something to do with her desertion of her ne

though when she appeared in New York as
Lady Macbeth she received considerable
praise. But to the pit land the pits opinion,
after all, is the one to go by her stage work,
as her continued popularity shows, has been
far from disagreeable. Aside from her abil

valuable gifts. She is thorough woman Of

and now Margaret Mather is shining eX-
ample OF what genius welded to art will do.
Shakesreare's Romeo and Juliet was the
play presented before large audience at
the Opera House last night with Miss
Mather as the unhappy heroine Of Verona.
That Miss Mather possesses all the requi-
sites necessary for a successful portrayal
of that wonderfully eXacting character is
an oft repeated tale. Juliet was one of the
famed beauties of Verona. young, tender
aud loving, and in that respect Miss
Mather is everything the character calls
for, being young and handsome in face and
form. Juliet's character as drawn by the
poet is many sided and it is doubtful if
there is another heroine of Shake psare's
creation that calls for suci a varied display
of emotions. Juliet-where her story OF
the feud between the Montagues and
Carulets is being inf lded-is gay and
me ry as a lark, loving and devoted, tender
and passionate, until the potion scene,
when the. young wife becomes transformed
into desperat ewoman, VINO IS terribly
in earnest in her devotion to Romeo
even to the extent of self-destruction. Miss
Mather was equal to all these vary NJ
phases in Juliet's sad history. The bal
cony scene, which last season was m lrred
somewhat by affectation, is now as finished
a stage picture as one could wish to see.
Her scene in the garden VITA the nurse Is
girlish, impetuous and impulsive. The
scene with Juliet's hard parents has been
toned down and improved in many little
things. The final parting with r )meo was
a masterpiece of skill, and the potion scene
-alwayt considered the test of Juliet's
abilities-was almost fearful in its realism,
eliminating with startling fall down
fight of steep steps, which gained for her
number of recalls. Ia this scene, as well
as in the final one, where Juliet in the
tomb of the Capulets ends her life with
her own hands, Miss Mather was at her
best, showing the true qualities of a TRACE
dienne.

flooded by a well known cigarette firm in
the east who have been advertising their
wares with beautiful lady's head, repre-
senting the picture of Miss Lillian Grubb,
the popular prima donna of the New York
Casino. and many of our readers will learn
with much surprise that the pretty and
popular singer herself has been visiting
our city for the past few days on her way
east. To our reporter Miss Grub stated
that for the past month she has been on
the Pacific coast and has had a most de-
lightful time. She has just recovered from
a very severe illness which has kept her on
the stage for some time, but will soon be
able to resume her old position and expects
to make her temperance in New York

Mrs. Stanford, the wife Of the Nevada
senator, caused 4 great deal Of embaETass-
ment the other night when she was acting
as hostess. A dinner party was given at
the senator's residence one evening last
week. The wealth and beauty Of the cap
ital city was seated around the mahogany.
The oysters and teTrapin had been dis
cussed, the sauterne removed, and the
dinner was fairly under way, when lady
with flushed checks and an indignant
voice ordered one Of the walters to remove
her portion Of fish. Two or three Others
did the same thing, and there was q
twinkle in the eyes Of u few Of the male
guests.
Mrs. Stanford had looked up with .
puzzled expression when the first lady
ordered her plate to be removed. Then
her expression changed to one Of horror.
She gave q hurried order to her butler and
the dinner went on.
There was considerable speculation
among the uninitiated Is 10 what caused
the trouble. Finally the story leaked out.
When Senator Stanford was in Paris last
summer he cana across q set Of plates
which he purchased for the use Of stag
parties. They were hand painted and the
decorations consisted Of beauty that was
literally unadOrned.
It was this Get Of plates that was used
BY the butler to serve the fish upon, and
the exhibition Of the nude caused the
indigestion Of the ladies, who sent their
portions back.
