DISPUTE OVER LEADING LADY
Hitch in the Production OF Mrs.
HodCson Burnett's New Play.

HOdgson Burnett's New Play.
There is trouble in regard to the pro-
duction by Charles Frohman OF Mrs.
Hodgson Burnett's new play "a Lady Of
Quality. The trouble which at present
has assumed a decidedly interesting out
look, arises from the choice made by Mrs.
Burnett OF Miss Eleanor Calhoun for the
leading role of Clorinda Wildairs.
This choice, Mr.. Frohman feels, has been
made from a purely friendship point Of
view when, in his estimation, such choice
should have been made altogether from
that OF business outlook.
He heard Mrs. Burnctts decision in the
matter, when some little time since she
returned to New York from London, ac-
cOmpanied by Miss Calhoun who, it seems,
she had seen act in London, and then made
the offer Of having her enact the role Of
leading lady in the new play about which
so much as been thought and written.
Now Mr.. Frohman has shaken off his
silence and issued the edict that the role
of leading lady is to be assumed by Olga
NetherSOlc and that none other than she
is to play the part Of Clorinda.
He. and Mrs. Burnett have had no end
| of conversations upon this momentous sub
ject and Mrs. Burnett has returned to
Washington as firmly fixed in her decision
to have Miss Calhoun as leading lady as
is Charles Frohnan in New York deter
mined to have Olga Ncthersole.
Until one or the other backs down from
| the stand that each has taken, nothing
can be done, of Course, in regard to put
ting the Lady of Quality" before the pub

| in February.
Mrs. Burnett thinks that Olga Neither
sole's assumption OF the role of Clorinda
will not be such as she wishes that
+, favorite character presented to the public
| That, on the other hand, Miss Calhoun is
| her ideal actress for the part.
| Mr.. Frohman tells her that she has mad,
a mistake in all this, that she has allowed
personal friendship FOR Miss Calhoun /,
blind her in the case, and that as hel
| theatrical manager he cannot and will moi
allow such mistake to have the right o
, way in the important matter of frs,
production of a new play, concerning
| which the public is already divided.
Mrs. Burnett, during the past summer
was besieged by ambitious actresses, who
| crossed the ocean for the especial purpos,
OF requesting the honor OF playing leading
lady in "A Lady of Quality" So there
has been no dearth of material to choose
from IN this resp ec5, as each of the actresses

Oakland in Revolt Against Miss
Rich's Cats, Dogs and Goats.

Clift 5 court last week. Miss Rich lives on
Lusk street, Oakland, where she owns a
two-story house. She persists in keeping
a menagerc OF pets that has angcred
the neighborho0d. William Vonderhuld
swore out a warrant, in which he charged
the lady, who is fifty-two years old, with
misdemeanOr, for having kept that amount
of live stock ON such narrow premises.
Constable KOck, who lives in TemeScal
was sent to serve the warrant. He did not
calculate upon the thirty dogs OF the If
teen goats, TO sa y nothing of the COW or the
horse. Somehow these animals did not re-
spect the majesty of the law, and the con-
stables badge did not awe them. The
constable made a descent upon the Rich
residence There came thirty ycIps from
thirty throatS and fifteen hleats from fif-
teen goats, and alIthe animals came around
the corner of the house.
There are people in TEN escal today who
will swear that they saw the airship sail
ing over the Rich residence early this morn
ing, and that it had headlight on as bright
as the constabie's star.
Anyway, when the constable came down
he had to tie the goats 20 the fence and
fight his way through the dogs before NJ
secured his prisoner.
Miss Rich told Justice Gift that she
| made her living by raising these pets foI
