Mr.. Morris has been seen in St. Paul

One point further should be strongly

means. He has taken the slow and
sure road to prominence in his profess
sion, and now that he has reached it
there are few who hold it more securely
than he does.
Louis James is another actor who has
not been of the class to seek little dis
tinction by claiming a great deal. He
has even been modest to fault, in the
estimation of many OF his friends and
admirers, but play-goers throughout the
country are beginning to recognize how
difficult it would be for any other actor
to fill the somewhat peculiar position
he occupies on the American stage.
Equally at home in tragedy or comedy,
he is always graceful, artistic and legit-
innate. He is, indeed. one of the actors
of the fine old school which fourished
when "one-play actors" had not been
thought of. He has wonderfully clear
and resonant voice, which never seems
