We believe it was the Enterprise some
months ago that saw the need Of a

time when the Carson papers were ad-
vocating the lynching of Comstock

HISTORY o. 7RlLEY.
She Was Originally the Favor'ts
Model of Gerome

The history Of Trilby, the central
figure of tonight's play, is Of special
interest at the present time. Even the
people Who hold up their hands with
horror at the idea Of nude women
posing before a painter, are still in
the habit of finding out all they can
about them.
The original from which Du Mau-
rier drew his now famous Trilby
O Farrell, was a young named
Elise Duval. who was a nude mOd-l
for She most famous painters of Paris,
but more particularly for Gerome and
Constant. During the period in which
she hourished, most of the great art
lists of France had set up their studios
in the Latin Quarter, and a very gay,
Bohemian life they led.
Elise Duval was a woman Of quick
wit and intelligence, that made her
very desirable at the social
entertainments Of the lights of the IT
world. A social entertainment was
generally a midnight gathering at
one of the big studios, where the j"l-
litv and wit circled round a steaming
punch-bowl. where frequently the bes'
musicians living played watt music
of their own composing, where time
/ was never noted and where no amount
e money or station could effect an
entrance for any bat the elect"
Elise was a famous brewer Of punch
and after she had mixed the ingrrdi-
eut- and stirred it for the last time.
the revel, which generally lasted un-
til daylight, began.
The play tonight depicts one Of these
famous old blowouts, and it is abO ut
the l~ivliest thing ever put on the
stage. W1en the mo lels get about
four ''jolts' in and s-l"t the can-can.
