the best qualified candidates for this inherf-
lance.
AN ACTRESS OF VARIED TALENTS
Mile. Lara was born in 1876. Her fcther WAS
a musician of some talent and she grew up
amid artistic Surroundings. In 1880 she en-.
tered the Conservatory where during the nrss
year. her studies were directed by Sylvan, anu
for the three subsequent years by Worms In
1894 she graduated with honorable mem
tion While at the Conservatory Mile. Lara not
only followed the dramatic course. but also
pursued the in singing and dancing
and even found time to earn considerable sums
by acting and dancing at some Of the smaller
theatres In fact under the instruction OF Mme'
Marauita she became proficient In dancing
as to appear in several ballets at the Gate
Theatre and at the Porte Saint-Martin. Among
the minor parts assumed by Mile. Lara WINS
student at the Conservatory was that OF n'.'e
Arthur in La Dame aux Camelias,' In series
Of Sarah Bernhardt's revvals OF Dumass meio-
dramas at the Porte Saint Martin. In 1894 Mile.
Lara was engaged at the Renaissance and per-
formed in the "Violon de Lulli" Marquis de
Carabas," "Akel," "Phedre," Femme de
Claude" etc. In July, 1896. she obtained her
first genuine success at the Porte Saint Martin as
Helene, in Theodore Barrieress melodrama
Outrage" This led to her debut at the Theatre
Francois, which took place in September, $780,
as Susanna de ViIliers. in Edouard Pailleron's
| lie Monde on ron Stimuli" The role was
! not particularly suited to Mile. Laras talents,
which are those Of leading woman, rather
than Of an ingenue. Soon after the curtain rose
she began to trembe like an aspen leaf, and UNI
derwent the nightmare Of stage fright. In the
| following October she appeared with credit IN
Octave Feuillet's "Montjoe." and her success
| In NJ. Brieux's Evasion" in December, $780,
gave her an assured position which has since
| been confirmed by admirable interpretations IN
the classical repertory Mile. Lara is described

face is charming and her glance is full or ex-

A strange condition of affairs has
come to light in the Office of the reg
lister o. mesne conveyance for Green
vile county. A lawyer in looking up
title to real estate, made the discovery
that the deed was only partially re-
corded. This discovery disclosed the
fact that entries in the record book
have been improperly made during the
year 1898 to 1896. There are instances
where deeds are only half copied, the
work being left off without the names
of witnesses. In other cases the names
of notaries taking affidayits of subscrib-
ing witnesses and rendiction of dover
are omitted. Names of witnesses are
left of or improperly placed. This
will cause great inconvenience, but no
loss is likely to result to property
holders; but SO long as deeds are i'm
