Bird, as it Appears to Mr.. Boyd.
One of the most cheerful and COM
panionable people upon the American
stage to-day is Archie Boyd, who takes
the character of Uncle Nat in Shore
Acres. which was given at the Opera
House last week. Mr. Boyd, on the
stage. takes the part of typical New
England farmer and that he does II 10
perfection ten of thousands OF people
in all parts Of the country are Wiling
TO testify. and it has often been said, IN
print and in the course of verbal dis
cussions of the play, that the reason Mr..
Bovd can do the Character so well Is
that ne was born and raised in New
England. and had very little to learn
when he was cast for the part. A Reg
lister reporter asked Mr.. Boyd about
this assertion, last Tuesda, and IN re-
ply he said:
ives. have often been designated,
in and out of the press, as a New Eng
land boy who was perfectly familiar
with all the incidents of New England
life and to whom the scenes and situa-
tons i'm Shore Acres came as glimpse
of early home life. That's a delicate
and appreciated compliment TO my act
ing. but it could not be farther from the
truth. As a matter Of fact, 1 am ma
tive of the South, and never spent more
than twenty-four hours in one place in
New England in my life, outside OF

stopped longer than one night. All

of the play and outside of what is there

nOrance. Ii was the same when l was
a yomg man and was cast for part in
a play i'm which l had to pose as hat
ter. and sell several hats behind cOUn-
ter. / knew as much about hats as
did about diamond cutting. and TO catch
some of the tricks OF the trade ! went
TO a friend of mine, who was in the hat
business. and told him what I wanted.
As a result | went right into his store
for a week and spent ten solid hours a
day getting on to his curves in selling
hats. watched him take a hat out of
the box. give it that peculiar fiirt all
hatters have. shake out the crown,
dent IL in properly by a couple of deft
touches. and hand it out in a certain
snaurer TO the customer and in a week
/ could do it all as we'll as though I had
been i'm the hat business Tor six years.
When I went on the stage and manipu-
lated my stock of hats before the foot
lights every halter in the audience
smiled an approving smile. and
suaightway the story got ont that I
used to be in the retail hat trade, but
gave it. mp and went on the stage be-
cause had some natural talents as an
amateur actor There is just as much
truth i'm the hat story as there is i'm the
yarn that was born on a New England
farm. and that is. no truth at all.

A large sized audience witnessed the presentation of Charles Dickens Bleak House. last evening. Despite the warm weather outside the house was very cool, all the electric fans be- ing used to reduce the temperature.
 Miss Jane Coombs appeared as Lady Dedlock'' and "Hortense," and gave as Lady Deadlock one of the most finished artistic and beautiful performances of female characters that has been seen upon our stage in some time. In the impassioned scene in the third act she reached the most intense expression of passionate acting. Miss Coombs' regal beauty, magnificent voice and exquisite grace captured every heart in the large audience As Hortense, the revenge fuI lady's maid, Miss Coombs achieved a success, playing it with all the aban- don of a French woman, who, when goaded to desperation by Tulkinghorn, deliberately plans and aecomplishes his murder.

Professor Macart's dog and monkey comedians made a sensation when they presented their circus yesterday. The koochee coochee dancing canine in par ticular caused much laughter by the way he went through the muscular contortions characteristic of the Mid way dance. Much laughter was caused also by the comedy incidents in the great fire drama, "The Widows Devo- tion," which the whole troupe of dogs present, as well as by the boxing match and serpentine dances, The monkeys also caused much amusement. particu- larly the huge cynocaphalus baboon, which portrays property man so real istically. Miss Katie Rooney showed how her lamented father used to dance and won much applause for her clever imitation. Other artists who enter tained most delightfully."- are James and Fanny Donovan, Jerome and Alexis, Walter J. Talbot, Murphy and Mccoy, Charles Carter, Fields and Selma. The bill is an exceptionally good one, as surfing a very pleasant hour at the Wonderland this week.

The supporting company was very fine and gave such representations as will not be forgotten. The interest in the piece was sustained to a close; 1t is surprising that so much of the story could be so well told.
 The piece will be repeated this after noon and evening and tomorrow after noon and evening.
 An exceptionally strong company, including such clever players as Basil West, Harry Beresford, Tessie Deagle Ida Burrows and Vivian Vaughn will be seen at the Grand opera house for three nights and two matinees com mencing Thursday, May ', in the merry comedy, "Dr, Bill" No play of recent years has established itself so firmly in popular favor as this delightfully."- breezy farce which has won for itself the distinction of being "the play that has made the whole world laugh" Mat inees will be given as usual on Friday and Saturday.

Mrs, Stetson was member of the celebrated Stokes family, and the most remarkable bareback rider and one of the most beautiful women in Ameri- ca. Her father, James Stokes, came of one of the best families in Louisville. His brothers were wealthy mer-
 chants, but he drifted into the circus
 business. He did not succeed, and his
 daughters-at least three of them-took to the ring themselves. These were Ella, Emma and Kate
 Kate passed them all in her skill and daring, and her beauty was always a
 great card for Coup, with whom she
 was associated for a long time. Coup
 was the friend of the three girls since l they entered the business.
 l Kate had the misfortune to fall and l injure her knee, and this accident was
 repeated in Havana shortly afterward I The result was permanent injury, 1 which prevented her riding any longer.
 All the girls had pleasant, ringing
 voices, and when this misfortune over 1 took her, Kate determined to become a
 comic opera singer.
 l During the first season Langtry play | ed at Wallack's, Stetson met Kate coming out of u hotel. He was struck | by her beauty. and inquired who she
 was. He sought out Coup and learned l all about her Her beauty affected him deeply, and he told Coup that if she
 would consent he would give her $50 a week to prepare herself for the dramatic
 stage, and that work completed he would star her as the American beauty. Kate had been married once already. | Her husband was Carl Anthony, a 1 horse trainer. They are said to have
 made a remarkably handsome couple, | but shortly afterward he was kicked I in the face by a horse and disfigured l for life. Kate nursed him in his delir- 1 ium, and discovered that he had wife
 already in Germany. She procured a
 divorce a month later and they sepa- rated,
