Patti Rosa.
Patti Rosa. who plays an engagement at
the opera house next Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights has gained widespread favor in
her line Of work-ths dslineation OF SOU
brette characters. She has come to be con-
sldered of late years "a one of the best in
terpreters of this style Of stage personaRss,
and in the opinion of many she shares with
Lolita absolute sup temaoy in that tisld.
She is fitted by nature and by temperament
for the work in hand, and a long expert
ence in stage work, dating from early child
hood, has given her thorough knowledge OF
stage technique. The present season has
made evident her rapidly increasing
strength and valus as IN attraction are
shown by the demand for her services in
the better class of theaters. The soubrette
play has long had q firm hold on popular
ity. In Lotta's instance it brought i'm
mense fortune, and Patti Rosa seams to be
the legitimate successor to the dramatic
cooktail' in this respect, fos her work is
pearance here has the added interest Of
showing her In anew play, dolly Warden
written for her by Charles Il. Vincent, and
is said to serve its main purpose in excel
lent manner. That purpose is to afford an
appropriate medium for the use of Patti
Rosa's many attractive stage ways and
methods-the Patti Rosa-isms that are
found entertaining and charming by her
admirers. The play is slight in story and
incident. having just enough Of consecutive
interest to bind together it's three acts.
Yet, not a dull moment il permitted to OBJ
trude itself. Patti Rosa's bright, b,isk and
fuses merriment throughout the entire en-
t~ertainment. Her company 10 said to be-
conmendable in its entirety. 1t includes
Win Vaudeville, Joe Cawthord, John w.
Dunn. Gerald Griffin, Edgar S. Halstead.
Marcus Moriarity, Grace Gayler Clark,
Carrie Francis, Fannie E. Jacobs and 9th
ers.
