the best assumed by Warde, and in it he exhibits
such a cold, bloodless, vindictive devil OF
human, distorted both in mind and body that

originality, Mr. Warde makes much of certain
scenes that other actors have almost neglected

Buckingham that he is mot in the giving vein,"

Washington City, will be heard at the United

been wonderfully developed under the
most careful training, and when
she appeared at Chickering hall about year
ago, after returning from three years of earnest
study under the great Marchesf, the New York
Sun said that Mile. Decca was the best exponent
of that remarkable method America had heard,
and that her singing was so brilliant a. 70 place
