The miraculous has happened: society
woman has become "A great actress"
That was what the dra matte man of the
Chicago Inter-Ocean said about Mrs
Leslie Carter. She began her career with
the tide OF public opinion against her
She carried New York by storm in the
first season OF The Heart Of Maryland,
and the play has sustained its reputation
this year on the road Beyond doubt,
though the play is good one, its re-
markable success is mainly due to Mrs
Carter. The part of Maryland was written
for her and she was trained TO rthe part
She has shown devotion to her art
aud an untiring perseverance which ought
to bring some sort OF success even without
genius. WhentO thisis added an unusually
sensitive temperament, a charming person
alty and n marvellous power Of impeF-
sonation, it is not so very much OF sur
prise that the play, with Mrs. Carter,
was success.
The play is not a one-star play, however.
The cast is a good one all the way through
Herbert Kelcey has been leading man of
the Lyccum Stock Company for uine years.
Odell Williams is remembered here and
else where as the man who played Uncle
Josh Whitcomb after Denman Thompson
gave up the part. The venerable John W.
Jennings, who has only small part-that
OF sexton-is an old and finished actor
with record of mnch more important
parts. Frank Mordaunt, who plays Gen
Kendrick, is well known as an actor and
as a man. And the whole company was
selected with care and trained with dili
gence. The Heart OF Maryland started
onits careerin Washington, and the indica
tions are thai it will be warmly welcomed
on its return next week to the Lafayette
Square.

COMING TO THE THEATERS

1t is given to few artists to achieve a
place or such fine eminence as that held
by Lillian Nordica. She has created parts
and established new criterions Not the
least worthy of the critics has spoken of
her as the greatest dramatic soprano of
our times And she is an Americanl
That doubly endears her to Americans
The company that will appear with
Nordica at Lafayette square Opera House
tomorrow afternoon, at 4 o'clock, contains
a contralto whose fame is scarcely less
familiar to music lovers Madame Scalchi
The foremost opera houses OF two CONT
nents have proclaimed the greatness of
tins superbly endowed ar rtiste. Mr.
Barron Berthaid, the tenor of the or
gamzation, paved his stamp by his bril-
liant successes last season at the head of
the Damrosoh German opera Company.
Mr.. John G. Dempsey, the possessor OF

Sol Smith RUSSELL whose fine sense of
the comic and ininitable pathos, have won
him very pleasant place in the esteem
OF the Washington public, will begin his
annual engagement at the New Nat onal
Theater, Inauguration week, appearing in
his latest, aud il is said, his greatest play,
" "A BacheldEs Romance" written for
him by Martha Morton. MI. Russell's re-
markable triunphs are richly deserved, for
he is lot only a most painstaking worker,
but highly artistic and finished com edian.
Ina long series OF tIiumphs, in plays always
successful, and as familiar as Crukoe and
Mother Goose, he has made himself the
same kind OF u necessity that they are to
everybody who cares for the genuine in
theatrical productions. There are many

Evangelist Fife will Leave Charlotte
His neeting at Gastonia.

Evangelist Bill Fife spent Thurs
day here and left Friday morning for
High Point and Greensboro. He
came from Atlanta. He is not yet
decided where he will hold his next
meeting.
His Gastopia meeting resulted in
between rs and 100 conversions.
The amount contributed was $500.
Mr., Fife went to Georgia to ar
range for a location for his summer
Bible school.
Mr.. Fife is thinking seriously of
leaving Charlotte. He has two
Georgia towns in view, Tocoa and
Gainesville. In point of location
Mr.. Fife is rather partial to Tocoa,
but as Gainesville is larger town it
is probable that he y Ill locate there.
Mr.. Fife admits that he dislikcs to
leave Charlotte, but when all things
are taken into consideration he
thinks it best
