rie Burroughs, who appears on next We'd
nesday night and for the balance of the
week, occupies position of her own among
the actresses of the present day. She repre-
sents natural methods in emotional parts
in plays of the modern school. Some of
the plays are somewhat daring, but al
ways pure. AS. for instance, Henry
Arthur Jones' Judah, which she will pre-
sent on Wednesday and Thusrday nights,
which excited the utmost interest in Eng
land, ministers coming to see a drama
that invoved a possibility III the life of
each of them, and the religious papers
discussing the story often with a total
misapprehension OF Its lesson. Willard
made great sensation in London in the
part of Judah, but in America the con-
trolling interest was the character of
Vashti Dethic, the fasting girl a part
that Miss Burroughs developed so that it
became perfect companion piece TO Viii
lard's acting as the preacher, who sacrifices
himself for love. Judah in point of story,
action, character and dramatic construc-
tion is one of the very best of modern
plays, and Miss Burroughs makes her
Characterization of Vashti Dethic crea-
tion of extreme sympathy, and shows
her ability to embody the soul as well as
the outward seeming of dramatic char
acter. On Friday and Saturday nights
and at the matinee Saturday, Miss Bur-
roughs will present for the first time here
one of her greatest successes, The Profit
gate, by A. W. Pinero. The story is that
of a young man to whom love was but
like the humming of a tune forgotten
week hence" who marries an innocent
girl, and with the marriage comes the
real passion. The sword of Damocles
hangs over his head and his W ife, during
his temporary absence admits to her home
and nurses through an attack of brain
fever young girl whom her husband had
betrayed before his marriage. In the
third act he returns home and his young
wife learns all. He suffers as man only
can suffer and attempts to end matters by
trying to kill himself. But the high ideal
of the young wife is shattered and her
husband stands in his true light The
Cleveland Leader says: Taking into con-
sideration Miss Burroughs assumptions
when she was with Mr.. Willard together
with the work she does in the Profiigate
in each OF which she has been called upon
to express such a variety of moods, it is
not too much to call her the greaest act
ress upon our stage today. This is well
considered praise, which will be amply
proved. She is gifted by nature with
beauty of form and face that approaches
perfection, with Il voice that is a marvel
of sweetness and penetration, a power
of expressing that is seemingly unlimited,
together with magnetic presence that
thrills her auditors at all times. Miss

son. Harry Saint-Muir, Theo NJ. Brown,
II. A. Barkfoot, John Howes, Marion
Abbott, Kate Lester, Eleanor Perry, and
Estele Glenn.
Miss Burroughs is quite well known in
this city and in all probability brilliant
audience will witness her first stellar ap-
pearance in this city.
