FRIENDS OF LAST WEEK.

DE public is tam fools Occasionally
when one remembers how the intelligent
theatergoer is imposed upon and the
homage he pays to those who can sue
cessfully trick him out of his money the
feeling inspired is akin to disgust De-
spite his indignant denial of the sight-
est aspersion or his towering intellect
and his power to think for himself, no
one is bilked more quickly and with
greater ease. Nothing ever went further
toward proving the justice of this re-
mark than the manner in which the
amusement-loving have received tina; gi-
gantic swindle, Anna Held. This woman
was first introduced into New York as n
concert hall singer. She rendered in
English the suggestive songs people were
accustomed TO hearing in French and with
due regard FOR the fact that even the
vaudeville-admirer really prefers 10 un-
derstand when possible. The crowds that
had smirked ignorantly at Fougere and
her class were bewildered, astolished. and
delighted. Then came the tour in "A
Parlor Match" with poor ''O,d Hoss"
Hoey acting as foil for the girls vul-
garity. After this piece had been lad
away, La Poupe' was tried, but with
no success, and Anna Held went back to
Roster & Balls. Always the great and
intelligent pubic followed for the sake
of listening TO stupid foreigner sing to
a 'cellist in the orchestra and wriggle her
shoulders through the verses of Come
Play With Me-
But the making of Miss Held reflected
less credit than this on the theater-goer
Her popularity was due in TIE largest
measure to the wit OF press agent, the
money of manager. and the extreme
gullibility of the aforesaid intelligent pub
lie. The manager in question, Florence
Ziegfeld, admired the singer and Possessed
some degree of the cash necessary to her
exploitation. First in this process came
the longest line of fake" stories ever be-
lieved by people capable of reading.
There were tales of the woman's divine
proportions of her beautiful neck of her
following in Paris, OF a travelling pa ace
that had been purchased for her use and,
best of all, the nowfamous milk bath"
lie. This rather clever swindle was wide
ly published, generally swallowed and
served to advertise Miss Held to q greater
degree than anything else in the world.
Because of the efforts of a notable
schemer the chanteuse gained in one or
two months that for which artists of
ability had labored years. Today VIII n

was the spoil of which they were duped
Often before the public has been whee-
dieo into supporting entertainers of little

favorite created who possesses none at
all. Through her stupidity and incapacity
she completely ruined LA Poupe,' and
even her music hall turn never had much
to commend 1t. The wisest thing Mr..

The New York Casino attraction which
begins limited engagement tomorrow at
the National Theater is The Telephone
Girl with Louis Mann and Clara Lipman
as the stellar players IN the cast. The
piece is that which succeeded THE Belle
of New York at Canary and Lederers
house and prevailed there with consider
able favor for something like $50 nights.
The career of THE Telephone Girl at
the Casino Is said to have been only in
terrupted by the necessity of transferring

the piece are from the same hands that
turned out The Belle''-those of Hugh
Morton and Gustave Kerker-while the
organization received its stage training
under the direction of George w. Lede -er
But the later success varies its out

'ts methods and materials are said to

Mr. oNeill is known to every theater-
soer in this country as the greatest living
impersorator of romantic roles Though
some may take exception TO pecullarities
of his acting, even his seyerest critics
agree that since the death of Charles

Thorn. no one on the American stage has
played heroic roles as does James ONeiIi.
His extraordinary air of authority, his i'm
