disturbed Prosper marries Suzanne,
Mathilde marries her youthful lover,
and the play ends with an epilogue of
the daintiest kind. There are several
other interesting characters in the play,
chief among whom are M. Brismouc1le,
collector Of butterflies, and Mile.
Zenobie, his sister.
The stage settings, it is promised,
will he the most elaborate seen in St.
Paul in many months. The Hender-
son organization brings with it special
scenery for all it's productions. In "a

Under aggravatingly bad weatherly
conditions and IN an altogether unique
way, there has a new star burst upon
the view of the st. Paul amusement.
seeker. Miss Janet Waldorf is an ac-
tress of such merit that it Is a pleas
ure beyond the ordinary to see her at
her work. Perhaps it is not that she
possesses the merit which we are wont
to consider as the result of much
study, of intimate knowledge Of the
great things in the histrionic art. She
does not impress one as an actress
who is going forward as the result Of
study. Hers is not that sort of art.
She is absolutely free from the stale
ness that the actor who has gained his
proficiency from books shows, howev-
er subtle his art. She is full of the
buoyancy of youth, she sparkles like
new wine; she knows her Shakespeare
well-perhaps she will not be so graf
flying to the critical taste when she
knows him better. She has only been
seen in the al fresco performance of
CAS- You Like It." as yet, here, but the
people who have ssen Miss Waldorf as
Rosalind will hope to see her behind
the footlights. She was capital Ros-
alind-full of vivacity and capable of
lending plenty Of color to the part She
is young, beautiful and gifted. Mrs.
Currier found Julia Marlowe, and is
now managing Miss Waldorf. 1t does
not often happen that one manager
discovers two women gifted with ge-
MUS. Mrs. Currier seems to have done
this, and Miss Waldorfs appearance
under truer theatrical conditions will
be looked for with some impatience.
