The tail end of the season. when no
one looks for anything strikingly am
bilious in the way of dramatic attrac-
lions, is Bringing several surprises, and
last evening there was another. Janet
Waldorf is a new star that has just
risen above the horizon, and she gives
every promise of continuing to rise
higher and shine more brightly. Mrs.
AGa Dow Currier, who brought out Ju-
liza Marlowe in much the same way she
is bringing out Miss Waldorf, certainly
has a talent for discovering genius.
Miss Waldorf is young, pretty, graceful
and rich in voice. This is her first sea-
son, and her knowledge of stage tech
nique is little short of surprising con-
sidering that fact. She made of the
role of Julia in The Hunchback'' last
evening a thoroughly charming crea-
ton, and, though the old-fashioned
sIilted play, that used to delight the
pioneers 80 years ago, when Julia Dean
shone in il, was voted dangerously near
the yawning point at times, there was
not moment when Miss Waldorf was
on the stage that it did not seem fresh
and revivifying. Mr.. McVay made a
very good Master Walter, but with this
exception, the support cannot be count
ed as more than half capable. Mrs.
Curriers' gifts all seem to be in the di-
rection of detecting talent in others,
and her Helen was a very feeble en-
deavor, while Nj. Murdock's Modus
was Indifferent. and McGregor's Cliff
ford nothing more than fair. Tonight
the engagement closes with ''Ingomar."
Miss Waldorf should make a beauti-
full Parthena, and Mr.. McVay's abili-
ties will enable him 10 depict the Bar
barian eXcellentlv.

Janet Waldorf has not yet been seen
in New York. nor will she be till two
years more, after. in fact. she has
taken an Australian tour and had a
London debut. She is doing the hard
preliminary work of her career on the
road, in fact is learning her profess
sion by actual experience. She is being
handled and .groomed up to a New
York opening, just as Marlowe was.

The election last Tuesday was
somewhat of Landslide for DemOc-
racy all over the State, and Fowler
was showed under by McMillin by
majority of something like 10000
votes.
An alarming amount of inditfer-
ence existed throughout the State.
The Democrats were asleep to GER
tain extent, but the Republicans
were hOpelessly so, and the black
element OF that party were so sound
ly wrapped in their slumbers that
very few of them awo&e at all.
Chairman Mccall, of the Republi-
can State Campaign Committee,
said: 1.-THE negroes in the State did
not vote at all, and the white Re-
publicans showed practically no in
clinatiOn to go to the polls The
Republicans find some sOlace in the
fact that while the Democratic ma
jOrity is large, the Democrats did
not poll large vote.
The victory for the Democrats is
even greater than was anticipated
by many of the leaders. Especially
did East Tennessee do herself proud.
Several counties in this section,
which have Away gone for the Re.
publicans, went Democratic this
time by good majorities.
AS an example of the Indifference
Of the voters, less than 5000 votes
were cast in Davidson county, FOw-
Ter receiving only about 800 of these.
In an interview with an American
reporter, GovernOr-elect McMillin
spoke as follows in regard to the re-
suit of the election:
Il could not be otherwise, as a
Democrat, than gratified, and as an
individual thankful for the result.
1t has been great victory for De-
mOcracy. | think that it gives De-
mOcracy assurance that the people
Of the State will trust that great
party as long as it continues faith

pie. To the best of my ability pl E.

fairs of the State.
