Green Room Gossip

It is said that Mr.. j. NJ. Barrie's new play.
'"rwo Kinds of Women is a much more
ambitious piece of dramatic work than he
has yet attempted. The hero, an artist and
Bohemian, has been involved with one wo-
man before he meets the other, and it is
the jealousy of the former at the success OF
her unsuspecting rival that furnishes the
motive.
1t is announced that Mr. Bernard Shaw
is engaged upon a new play of which the
heroine is to be Cleopatra. Mr.. Shaw has
expressed very poor opinion of the manner
in which this subject has been handled by
Shakespeare, and the result of his owr
labors will be awaited with considerable
curiosity.
Mr.. Edward Terry will produce a new
comedy called "What Will the World Say

that she has done before. But it had nov
city in its nature; it showed new facet in
the gem, as it were, and Miss Marlowe
played it with the abandon of girl escaped
from convent school. She felt, doubtless,
IA relief in the very superfciality of the char,
acter, after delving so many years into the
depths of Shakespeare.
There is just one bit of danger in the sue
cess of play which is not artistic to such
an artist as Miss Marlowe. She may be
persuaded that her course is laid by fate,

Smith Russell is now full-fedged vaudeville

hit at all the New York and eastern houses,

has played. She deserves all her success, as
she is a hard worker and a great hustler,
having booked time up to March, 1899. In

Cohan, whom Miss Moreland considers the
"Sardou of the vaudeville stage" she has
an admirable farce of style better adapted

Moreland still keeps up her handsome style

gorgeous dresses with which to delight the

SIDNEY.

iSNiOSl'~Sti'S
view of the past year, there
are found many things con-
uected with our town and
community of which we.
should feel proud and for
which we ought to be very
thankful,
First and rot least Of all,
we have enjoyed a very
successful term of school,
the value and benefit of
which are not to be estlmat'
ed ia dollars. From our
school there are now lOI
teachers teaching in the
public schools of the county.
Second, following the close
of school came the county
Normal, with it's attending
pleasures and benefits. Nor
was all the benefits monopo-
lized by the teachers. Fer,
by the laws of association,
society was improved by
having the teachers of the
county among us.
Third. interspersed with
hnd following all these ad-
vantages comes religious
privileges associated with
other social benefits, includ'
ing the Methodist Confer
ence of the Batesville dis,
trict, The best good will
and good feelings seemed to
prevail throughout the entire
occasion.
In taking a prospective
view of present indications
and future possibilities, there
are many things OF which
we are hopeful,
First, prospects tor an,
other successful term OF
school seem to be good. The
same teachers have been EN-.
ployed for the Hext school
A good year is expected by
all.
Second, crop prospects are
better now than for severa
years. The people will be
in better circumstances hnan
cially than last year. If peo
pie are prosperous and happy
their schools will prosper.
Third, religious and socia
privileges are increasing and
seemingly more beneficial,
1t is the earnest desire thai
our moral atmosphere con
tinue to be renovated anf
kept pure and wholesome.
So taking II either pros
pectively or retrospectlvely
there are many things fol
which we should be gratefu
to our Creator and whlcl
should encourage us to pu
forth still greater efforts fol
greater and nobler things IL
this Ifs.
With best wishes for tn,
RECORDS future success.
