His sermon was an eloquent vindica-
ton Of the drama.
Margaret Mather's recent production
Of Shakespeare's "Cymbeline" in New
York seems to have proven spectac-
ular success rather than a Shakespear
can triumph. The Evening Post sums
it up thus:
In a spectacular sense, 1t more than
fulfilled expectation, but in other re-
spects it does not call for much serious
consideration. The acting. indeed, eX-
cept in two or three instances, was
subordinated completely to the stage
pictures, and probably it was not ex-
pected that much attention would be
paid to it. At all events, 1t ought to be
set down plainly that in this case the
play is not the thing at all, and that
the value and interest Of the entertain
ment are almost wholly independent Of
it's Shakespearian origin. If the intel
ligence bestowed upon the interpreta-
ton had been commensurate with the
liberality exhibited in the stage dec
orations, the revival would have been
memorable dramatic event. The Imo-
gen of Miss Mather was a disappoint-
ment for those who remembered the
promise Of her earlier performances. 1t

Among the American women gaining
distinction in the ranks of the musical

Laura Louise Wallen, a daughter Of
the late Gen. H. D. Wallen, U. S. A.
Miss Wallen began her musical edu

ago, and two years later she appeared
at the Mendelssohn hall in a concert

WaIlen made her American debut this
winter at Carnegie hall at the concert
given by the New York Symphony or
