She was last seen here as D. Elose Morgan,
one of the prima donnas of the Bostonians.
and her remarkable development from the
vaudeville class to that of a charming prima
donna completely mystified her old acquain-
tances who had never suspected her talent.
There was a mystery about it, and also an

Thomas, to appear in "A Trip to China

minated her eccentric career by disappear

stating that she had gone to Paris to Guilt
vate her voice. When she came back. Miss
Archmere appeared as an unknown in Mr..
Duff's company, at what is now called st.
JameS's Hall, New York. Ii was Leander
Richardson's Dramatic News that discoy-
cred her identity. In her absence she had
certainly developed a fine soprano voice,
which, during the past season, she has en-
ployed effectively as the alternating prima
donna of the BostOnians. In marrying MIR.

her the opportunity to show she had the

Jean De Resxke Reported Engaged.
A New York Sunday newspaper devoted
several columns TO an elaborate account of
the approaching marriage OF Jean De
Reszke TO the Countess De Maille. ReglI-
larly every summer the same story is re-
vived. Jean has been paying marked at
tentions to the lady for many years, but
that he will marry her is doubted while
he remains the boards. In the article
referred to his age Is given as f0rty-two.
According to that figure Edouard De
younger Jean Is fifty-five or iifty-SiX. He
originally baritone and studied with
CotOgnf many years ago. Travellers re-
member him in Italy singing baritone roles
in small opera houses not at all well
known, but always a tremendous student.
That was at least twenty-five years ago.
Then he was a man of thirty-five. He is
older by five years than Maurel, and Vic
tor Capoul, who Is fifty-five, says that
Jean DE Reszke was one year his senior.
Singing seems to be superb prOphylactc
against the encroachments of oiu age.
Look at Maurel. Look at De Reszke.
Edouard, who is past forty-five, looks
older than his brother because he is an
easy liver and is fatter. The other brother.
Victor, is a hotel keeper in Warsaw, as
was his father before him. The family is
not noble, the De being a recent prefix.
The ReszkeS are Jews-that is, on the
fathers side who was cantor in a War
saw synagogue. Tue mother was a French
opera singer. The s4s,er formerly sang at
the Grand Opera House in Paris. She was
a very attractive woman and most salts
he will lose his hold on the matinee girl.
That Is why Paderewski prefers 10 remain
an interesting and apparently inconsolable
widower.
The kendals Coming Back.
Harry Neagle, in the New York Recorder
announces that the report that the Kendals

season was fake for advertising pur-
