ceipts and the guileless innocence of the
rural stars led the girls to give their per-
formances whenever and wherever they could
rent hall or theater.
Free advertising was given them lavishly

Three summers ago, in the midst of the hay

and for convenience had adopted boomers.
The rope which held down the end OF the
binding-pole broke one day just as they were
leaving the field with the last load AS milk
Ing time was fast approaching, Lizzie thought
her weight on the pole would answer just as
well. Accordingly she seated herself astride
the pole, and Ella, the driver, started the

was intensified when Miss Davenport declared
her delight at the prospect Of appearing in
such q part. The first night arrived, and
MISS Davenports friends were out in force,
full OF expectancy and with an apparent
chagrin that so gifted a vocalist and beau
tlful woman should hide her talent and her
brilliant personality in such a role. Finally.
when the Princess made her entrance, these
kind friends were horror stricken There she
stood, a sight to behold! No more grotesque
ist Upon her head was a most extravagant
bonnet, from out Of which leered a face red
and wr1nkled and distorted and fringed with
lnnumerabie short screw curls. She wore a
bodice with very high waist, and a skirt
Dulged out with an immense crinoline. When
she moved about, there were revealed a pair
OF pantalettes drawn tightly around the ankles
and elaborately trimmed with deep folds of
lace. Her appearance was the signal for an
immense outburst of laughter and it was
some minutes before she could proceed with
ner nf hnes. Soon 1t became apparent why
Miss Davenport had expressed pleasure at
the prospect of playing the Princess. All
the time she was on the stage the audience
screamed with laughter. and the next day the
newspaper critics, with one accord credited
her with a success as comedienne eouaIed

Joseph Murphy still insists. He's worth
more money than any other man on the
American stage, Jefferson excepted He has
no new plays. He sings worse than he did

"Dorcas' will be on the boards at
the Metropolitan tonight, despite man
agerial differences. Manager Scott
promised his patrons entertainment
this evening" and they will receive that
entertainment. "Dorcas," as the ad-
vance agent of a dramatic and mu-
sical entertainment means little to the
readers of newspapers. But the names
of the participants in the performance
are suggestive of the high quality of
the organization. The names of several
members Of this company are familiar
to students of music and habitues of
the theater. Some of these singers are
graduates from that ever-p popular or

Miss Eva Davenport, of the "Dorcas' COM

American stage For number of years she
has occupied a unique position among her
contemporaries, and it is difficult to say
whether she is best liked as vocalist or
comcdienne. She possesses a superb con-

tivated abroad and she >has achieved many
conspicuous successes on the operatio stage.
