The morning call., 1895-02-11

to the dining-rOom where tables were ar
ranged to seat over hundred Bohemians.
The brightness OF day was sedulously ban
ished and instead yellow glow flooded the
room from lights enshroudeG in orange
colored covering. Upon the tables were
scattered variously hued fairy lights amid
trailing smilax, and the head table was
almost completely covered with white mar
cissus and violets blooming from bed Of
ferns, the flowers immortalized by Shakes
peare. Each guest found before him card
bearing his name and motto appropriate
to himself, with bunch OF violets attached.
Mr.. Warde sat beside the host, who in
turn sat next to great owl, the patron OF
Bohemia. Those present were:

D. NJ. Delmas delivered an address of
welcome to Frederick Warde. "If it was
the purpose OF our host to bid me welcome
Mr.. Warde to this banquet, said he. "his
purpose has already been anticipated by
the company sitting around this board. If
it was the purpose OF the host TO welcome
him to Bohemia it were needed not to go
far TO find in him worthy and lasting titles
to such welcome. To-day he stands with
out peer as the minister and high priest
of the matchless bard of Avon. While the
world admires him as an actor humanity
admires him as man"
In conclusion Mr. Delmas welcomed him
by rights of triumphs of his genius to the
hospitality and intellects of Bohemians
and by right OF his own kindly personality
TO their hearts.
The address was loudly applauded and
when Mr. w arde arose to respond still more
enthusiastic applause welcomed him.
The distinguished guest said that he did
not deem it the proper time or place to
advance theories with regard to the actor,
but he ventured to say that it is theory
of his that the besetting sin of an actors
life is vanity. If he should wreck himself
on that rock he should blame Mr. Harrison
