Mabel do Babian Played in Seattle, but
Was No Actress.
Mabel de Babian, the variety performer
who was shot and killed last Friday night
by aidiscarded lover at the Casino theater,
in Spokane, was in Seattle few weeks
ago. She played at Cort's Standard thea
ter and s'rustled" in the boxes. She tIrst
came to Seattle last winter with the Mabel
Francis Burlesgue Company, and when
that company stranded in Portland, she
returned to Seattle, and prevailed upon
Cort to employ her at the Standard thea
ter. After few weeks engagement she
went to Spokane, and remained there IN.
til she met her tragic death. At Spokane
she is said to have taken the name Of
Nina Hayward" but Johnny Baker,
stage manager at Cort's theafer, says he
did not know her by that name She was
known by the name of De Babian. Mr..
Baker said last evening:
although the woman appeared to be in
telligent, she was not success as a variety
actress and was of no benent to the house.
As to her having filled difficult roles with
well-known troupes. that is improbable and
hardly possible. for she had no stage
training. / can'timagine what ever made
her take to the stage, for she was entirely
united for the work and fife The stories
sent out from Spokane concerning the
woman would be very amusing were the
tragedy not so serious. The man, Elliott.
who did the shooting, / have never heard
OF.
II have seen the sister of Carrie Smith,
the other actress who was shot by Elliott
She is known on the stage as Minnie
Gardner, and is musical director of the
Henry Burlesque Company"

Next Wednesday and Thursday evenings
Danl Sully, the clever Irish actor, who
has twice or three times appeared in
Seattle in Irish characters, will present
himself in new play. Mr.. Sully has not
before had an author of such ability as
Leander Richardson for his work, and that
gentleman's wellknown standing among
writers assures play of better standard
than usual. Mr.. Richardson, besides being
a critic of reputation, has written a very
successful novel and done much desultory
literary work of value. 1.-The millionaire
was written for Mr.. Sully, and the charac-
ter fitted to his especial characteristics.
The story is that Of Jammes O'Brien. an
Irishman of humble birth, who has risen
to business distinction and to prospects of
immediate fortune in the completion of an
important line of railroad. The directors
and principal owners of an opposition
road determine TO invalidate the charter
of the road O'Brien is building, by defeat
ing its completion at stipulated time.
The climax of the play is realistic track
laying scene. where the delay of a moment
may mean the loss of millions. OF course
0Brien triumphs. and the last rail is laid
Just as genuine locomotive appears

dramatic situations, striking realistic
effects, and some clever and entertaining
comedy. Mr.. Sully brings a good COM

Something Great in Opera to Look For-
ward to.
'.Iolanthe," as presented by the Seattle
operate Society, next Friday and Satur-
day evenings, promises to be by far the
best amateur operate performance ever
given in the Northwest. The principal
role. that of Phyllis, an arcadian shep-
herdess. will be assumed by Mrs. Z. d.
Crandall, and those who have witnessed
the rehearsals predict that she will make
a genuine hit. Miss Selkirk, the promis-
ing young contralto, has part, in the
Fairy Queen, admirably suited to her fine
voice, and Mr.. Middlebrook, as Lord Toll
loller, will be a prominent figure. The
costumes for the opera will be worn on
Friday evening for the frs: time. this en-
terprising association preferring to manu-
facture and own its costumes rather than
rent oft-used and ill-fitting suits from San
Francisco. Mr.. Crandall, the director, has
played both the parts of Strephon and
Lord Tolloller with first-class professional
companies, and can be relied upon to put
the performance through without. hitch.
