A lad named Flowers was found
living in a corn6eld near Centerville,
Tenn, having been lost and without
food for a week. He was terribly ema-

weeds and bark from the trees. He
could not stand alone, and his recovery
is doubtful. About a week before he

of the American girls. Yet the one has
art, the other has none, even in the
every day affairs of life. No better eX-

They are all about OF an age being born
respectively in 1861, 1862, and 1865,
and still consider themselves, and are
considered ingenues, and invariably
take good pictures.
In 1887 Mile. Brandes was engaged
at the Coincide Francois and made her
debut Sept. 26, in "Francillon." After
three seasons at the Coincide she re-
turned to the Vaudeville to create the
leading role in "Lilaine." In 1893 she
returned to the Maison Moliere, and
is still there. Some consider Mile.

A western Carmen.

E,ita Proctor Otis Is a western girl
and by lineal descent comes out OF one
OF the worthiest families OF the land.
She was born In Cleveland, u, and the
Otises were among the most distin-
guished pioneers OF that district. Her
father died before she found her way
in at the stage door of the theater. Her
uncle, John Otis, was one of the
wealthiest of the great steel manufae-
turers OF Cleveland. the family is not
unknown TO fame and wealth.
Miss otis began her career as a reci-
taticnist and amateRr actress. London
knew her one season some four years
ago in the former capacity, and i'm the
latter she was very popular i'm the
smart set in New York, taking, in the
Comedy club. the place left vacant by
Dora Urquhart Potter when she became
a professional. Her professional debut
wac made at the Globe theater in Bos-
ton, December u. 1892. as Mrs. Ernes-
tine Echo in the version OF Dumas
''Demi-Monde," made by Louise Imogen
Quincy and William Seymour, and
which was the first version OF that
famous play ever seen in America.
Later Miss Otis made a success as
Nancy Sykes in "Oliver Twist" with
which she soured, and then after an
appearance last September at the En-
'pire thea,er. New Lork, she was. for
a while. with Dan Frohman at the Ly-
ceum, when she played several parts
that did not suit her. like Mrs. Quesnel
in "Rebeliious Susan" and Nine. de

Notes of the Footlights.

Uncertainty in railroad rates con.
managers trouble. and until they are
settled there are some attra ctions they
will not venture TO handle in this teri
tory.
Daniel Frohman declares that there
never was so good an opportunity as
now exists for young men of talent to
write meritorious plays and get them
produced.
Henry Miller wants a character with
lots of comedy and some sentiment for
his stellar venture, which will probbaly
occur next October.
Leonard Boyne will probably come
over for an American starring tour
next season. In that event Julia Arthur
will probably be his leading lady.
Walter Whiteside, known some years
ago as the boy tragedian. has just
closed his season and his managers re-
port there is balance on the right
side of the books.
Ellen Terry, in the character Of Lady
Macbeth. is said to step out of the
beaten path of tradition. Her reading
is spoken of as showing a high degree
of intelligence.
William Gillette's revival OF TOO
Much Johnson" at the Empire Theatre,
New York city, has proved a success,
despite the warm weather and the late
ness of the season.
Maud Jeiferies, the young American
actress who has lately made a success
in London, England. as Wilson Barrels
leading woman, is going to retire from
the stage permanently.

accident, was invited into the house
by a sympathetic woman who hung
the disabled member over the back of

lower rung and pull, which he did, only
to find that the shoulder had slipped
back into place again and that he could
go on about his business comfortably
