The eastern papers are 1ull of a new
anecdote of recent occurrence about Edwin
Booth A couple of foolish maidens called
upon the actor at his hotel and sent up
their cards. He did not decline to see
them, but descended to the parlor and sin
freezing tones' demanded to know their
business. On one OF the visitors explain
ing that they had seen him play the night
before and desired to make his acquaint
ance. MIR. Booth is described as having
''drawn his slight form to its fullest
height and delivered a severe lecture.
Thus the narrative concludes: After re
minding them of their indiscretion and the
danger attending the pursuit of actors, he
(Mr. BOOTH said. looking at the cards, that

The always telling dramatic writer of
the Morning journal says last Sunday:
Max Freeman's production of 1.-The Grand
Duchess runs to big houses at the Casino,
with Miss Lillian Russell as the star. The
work of singing this heavy part seven
times a week is beginning to tell on her
voice, and before long she will have to re-
tire occasionally, as she has begun to ''tiatn
good deal in the more exacting numbers.
Belle Urquhardt is now thoroughly up in
, the part, and will probably often replace
Miss Russell. Under these circumstances
it would be wise for intending purchasers
of seats TO find out in advance who is going
to act the role on particular nights, for, of
course, it will be an entirely different per
Torrance in the hands of Miss Urquhardt
1 In fact, not the same thing at all. II is the
difference between the $50 a week Miss
Urquhardtnreceives and the $50 perform
ance of Miss Russell. Outside of the lat
ter and the splendid mounting by the best
stage manager in America, the perform
ance remains mediocre. Mr.. Freeman S
next production will be- Castles in the
Air. but not at the Casino.
