In the Little Maverick the merry
little comedienne, Miss Katie Putnam,
has found the play at once interesting.
bright and eminently adapted to her
especial talent. The play is cleverly
constructed and does its author, G. Z.
Darcy (also author of In Old Ken
tucky'), considerable credit for hand
ling a, somewhat familiar idea in an
original manner '-The Little Nave
erick" possesses a blending of humor
and pathos that Miss Putnam is al
ways SO successful in portraying, and
her realistic representation of the
honest, Warm-hearted but amusingly
ignorant waif of the plains is always
thoroughly appreciated, and she comes
forth in the end the triumphant victor
over her enemies and the idol of her
gallant lover. Miss Putnam has a
voice always childish and musical and
admirably suited to the Sirlish charac-
tiers she has always played with such
great success Miss Putnam is ably
supported by Gus Cohan, the we'll
cry, the versatile actor; George Klint.

From Mr. A. r. Wilber the advance
agent Of the Katie Putnam combina-
ton, we learn that things are going on
smoothly with Harry Emery. which is
always welcome news to his many
friends in this, his native town. They
own large orchard and farm on the
banks Of Lake Michigan that yields
regular profits, the products finding a.
ready market in Chicago, and they
have about $40, 900 invested in Portland,
Ore, real estate. besides property in
other places. They plan the produc-
ton at an early date of a revival of
The Old Curiosity Shop" in which
Miss Putnam should shine as Nell, the
marchioness.
Much has been said about the pro-
posed separation Of Wiardc ana James
at the end of the present season, but
the relation that exists between the
two men has not been very clear to the
public. The fact is that Mr.. Warde
is the proprietor of the travelling COM
pany and ali ITS paraphernalia, and
has had Mr.. James engaged the same
as any other member of his COM
pany, ion the past three seasons. Nh.
Warde says it is no. what one might
Call d separation, IL simply happens
that Mr.. James enga cement expires
and it viii not be renewed, but chat
his place Will be fined by another ac-
tor whose name it is too early to pub
lSh, ANA that thereafter the Warde
combination will continue TO appear
Just the same. There hava not been
many other such alliances as that of
dan and Wallack, Booth and Barrett,
and they are about all. There is but
q limited repertory adapted to double
stars. Even some in the few that
Warde and James have played together
do not suit them. When one plays
Virginius. the other is clearly subordi-
nate as Appius Claudius and when one
plays Richard III, the other is obvi-
ously second as Richmond. These are
instances cited by Mr. Warde and he
says that in such cases neither of the
stars likes to take the subordinate
part or to offer it to the other. While
they are together they cannot put on
one mans piece like Hamlet or any
one Of the dozen others they each
would like to work n, and thai is prob
ably the principal reason why they do
not stay together. The best eff feelings
are maintained between theIn and they
state that they have always enjoyed
