Claudinet has not been the best part in
the world for her, but she brought such
conscientious art to bear on it, that at
the end of long, tedious season, she
was playing it better than she was

more buoyancy, and holding it up clev-
erly in a performance which in other
respects was getting very ragged She
was wasted on such part, however

the outer edge of a sidewalk on one of

biggest red fir trees, says the Mining

cut directly across the diameter of the

greatest diameter extending upward,
the bark being on its entire circumfer-
ence. A. stranger naturally feels in
clined to walk up to the slab and meas
ure it by it's height, and is surprised to
find that it would take another man
standing on his head to extend to the
top of it. Then he steps back a pace
and reads the following inscription,
neatly painted on board attached to
the face of the slab: Tree from

It is a 24-page affair, and the bulk Of

space is limited. On the last page the

The succeBs of Miss Chicago" has
brought back to the stage in good
part Verona Jarbeau. in her day one Of
the clevGrest and most attractive wom-
en- in her line OF business that New
York ever produced. But she
belongs to a genre which Paris pro-
duces In better form, and Of which Ar
mand Diary, who was in America foY
short time two years ago, is one OF
the best examples imaginable.
This clever artist, who was the
daughter Of a well known baritone
singer, and pupil of the great PaulUs,
could sing before she could talk. To-
day Mile Diary, who is one OF the most
pictured women, as she has been one
of the most popular in Paris, is about
80 years old,
Who that has the luck to date his
theater going back to the sixties can
have forgotten the famous clog team,
Delahenty and Hengler? They are in
memory relics Of the days when Nor
ris brothers, Pell and Trowbridge used
to have an opera house in Boston, about
opposite the Old South church. A
neater team of dancers than these were
in the days when they first sang 81
Feel Just as Happy as Big Sunfower"
has never been seen since. Hengler
died few years ago and left wife and
two little daughters. In 1898, when
these girls were ten and twelve years
old, Flora and May Hengler first began
to dance in public. Probably they are
best remembered in 1892" Of which
they were a feature. Their first work
was in drawing rooms and they were
so pretty, so ladylike, and so graceful
that every one was anxious to aid
them. In 1896 they went to London Ind
danced at the Alhambra, where they
made a great success. 1t Is rather
matter of surprise that both these dan
GERS, and they are bewitching in their
dancing togs, are ambitious to become
great actresses, and that when they
reach proper age or when the OPP
portunity comes, it will be in acting
parts that the Hengler girls hope To
pursue their careers. /
This has been Emma Calves year at
the Metropolitan opera house and
elsewhere in opera. The illness of
both Eames and Media and the forced
absence of Nordica have made Nine.
Calve the most indispensable person
in the Abbey Schoeffel Grau company,
limited, excepting only Jean de Reszke.
She has sung more times and sung
more roles than ever before, although
she did not add to her repertoire all
that she threatened to early in the sea-
son-for she abandoned Selika in
"L'Africaine," with the frank avowal
that it did not suit her. Her Marquee
rite in Faust" and her Cherublno in
Marriage of Figaro" have both been
treats, and the picture of her in the lat
ter part will prove to those who have
not seen her that she is in far better
and trimmer physical condition than
she was when in 1894 she made that de-
plorable effort to sing "Mignon," and
wore the pages dress to disaster.

his line in this country-he was part

It had been Originally intended to put
it into Boston late in the spring, after
Mr.. Gillette's Secret Service" had gone
to London, and to let it play as late
into the summer as 1t could. But eek
celsior, Jr.," its predecessor with the
Cadets, failed to score at all heavily in
Boston--it was uninterestingly and
cheaply given-so the eight weeks ORR
ginally held for 1t were cut down to two,
and Jack and the Beanstalk' went in
to Boston Museum on January II, in
stead of late in the spring. It was
booked for five weeks at that time,
and from the very beginning it played
In luck. The cadets turned out in
great numbers on the first night and
the enthusiasm of the audience for the
players was hardly more contagious
than that Of the players for the house.
The choruses were taken up by the au-
dience, so familiar with them, and the
air palpitated with unmistakable signs
of great success. The piece ran seven
weeks instead of five, and to record
breaking business. 1t Is doubtful If
there was an empty seat, even at a
Wednesday matinee, during that en-
gagement. But the most remarkable
part Of it is that hardly had the COM
pany left Boston when efforts began
to be made to get them back, and at the
