SALE OF SEATS STEADY.
Yet There is Not the Rush for Gym
beline That Might be Expected.

Although the sale of seats for Mar
garet Mather's "Cymbeline'' has been
steady since the opening of the chart
on Thursday morning, yet the advance
sale so far is not as large as Miss
Mather and her production deserves.
Probably no Shakespearean actress
ever received more praise from the
eastern press than Margaret Mather
has received this year in the part of
''Imogen' and her production is conced-
ed to be one of the most deliberately
staged before the American public to-
day Miss Mather should be greeted
by splendid audience next Monday
night
OF "Cymbeline'' and Miss Mather a
recent criticism contains the following:
This play, which embOdieS some of
the most beautiful of Shakespeare's DO
etc fancies, has been seen but little
in recen yeatrS. It has never been given
the prominence that, in poetic Justice
1t deserves, because it has never been a
profitable repertory bill. It's story is
not one that appeals strongly to the
public Its purpose is vague, it's ac-
ton disconnected and it's interest bro
ken. 1t includes many beautiful frag-
ments, however, and its central char
acter is not infrequently mentioned as
the most beautiful among Shakespeare
can women. Indeed. no other Shakes
pearean character that is so rarely en-
bodied is so well understood Students
love to dwell upon its gentle qualities
particularly its surprising fidelity.
Adelaide Nelson was the last actress
to revive and retain the character of
ImOgen on the stage. Ii has since been
essayed by Modjeska, Miss Marlowe
and several others, but not often enough
to bring it into lasting association with
these names Miss Mather who has
given the play such a magnificent pro-
duction as to necessarily preclude all

It is known that fogs may form in

has been cooled by rapid radiation: sec

mixture of different air currents, and,
third, where cooling has been caused

fogs come from a difference of temper

Coast fogs are caused by damp air
