THE STAGE
AND IT'S VOTARIES

rho oily difference one notes in Nellie
MeHenry over her appearance for many
ye.fs past is the fact that her work is
so.lething more of an effort for her than
e. er before. She is still Jolly very
-.ueh so, but does not conceal the as
sumption of that quality as well as she
did, when we were both younger. But
sAc will, barring accidents continue to
make people laugh for many years to
co lie.
4; is a question if people who make a
business of causing humanity to be merry
in harmless way are not about as bene-
ficent as any philanthropist. Miss Nc
Henrys fun is all of the healthy order;
it does not leave a bad taste in your
mouth nor regret in your mind the
next day.
Miss Minnie Jarbo, who sings a song in
a dainty, simpatico soprano, is one of the
most charming little creatures seen here
for a long time. She is sweet faced sweet
voiced, and looks clean.
The last quality may at first glance ap-
pear to be not uncommon among women
who appear on a stage, but If you think q
moment, you will find it difficult to recall
an actress who with her makeup on re-
ally looked clean; the grease paint, pow
der and rouge and kohl lined eyes may
and do often look very fetching. but
makeup never suggests face fresh from
soap and water, but one in need OF these
healthy articles. | can only recall two
women who made up their faces so deity
as to not suggest that washing would DO
them good these were Lily Langtry and
Fay Templeton, both of whom always APP
peared as if fresh from Il tub.

1t is long time since the newspapers
have built a new theater here, so just to
break the monotony will put up one now.
1t is an Eastern manager this time, one
with half dozen barrels OF money, who
is negotiating with Broadway property
owners for theater which is TO be more
splendid and comfortable than any on the
Coast He has tried to get house already
built, but the owners could not talk bus
mess. If his plans should be consummat-
ed, it will be a fine thing for the city as
well as Broadway.
On the arrival of the Calhoun Opera
Company from the East, says the Spokane
Review, the principal members were
driven to the Spokane, the swell hotel of
Harry Hayward. AS Mr.. Murry, the man
ager of the company, entered the hotel he
was closely followed by what appeared to
be two colored boys in gorgeous livery.
On the register he wrote Jules 5. hurry,
Chicago, and underneath in bold hand
"Cyclone and Rabbit Foot, Tangiers, Mo-
rocco" Mr.. Hayward glanced at the
sable attendants and said, in a voice just
above a whisper, I'VE don't keep colored
people in this house.
''Who has asked you to do so?'' said Mr..
Murry, somewhat indignant. ''There are
none in my company.
What do you call those?' said Mr..
Hayward pointing to the boys whose
faces showed like discs of poiished ebony.
Those" replied Mr.. Murray, laying
his hands on the little fellows head, ARE
the royal attendants of the Embassy from
Morocco, simon pure Moors and not a
drop of negro blood in their veins
Then the little man who once upon
time faced John l.. Sullivan and ran him
out of the Office of the hotel bowed his
apologies and assigned the trio to apart
ments on the first floor front. Later in
the day and during particularly inter
esting game OF craps Cyclone ac-
knowledged that he was born in Choco-
locca, Georgia, while Rabbit Foot" adj
mitted that Mobile was good enough for
him.
