He has made no contract with any

According. to current gossip Marie
Wainwright is not only engaged to
Nestor Lennon, but in addition her
marriage to that young actor will be
a matter of the more or less immediate
future. If the admissions Of those who

Olga Nethersole has been talking for
months of the millions at her back to
run her in London theater. Skeptics
shrugged their shoulders and referred
to the frightful frost she made during
her last appearance a long while ago
In Carmen" But she insisted that
she was going to have another London

so far that the documents were all

the dramatist such a rich field as the
late Civil war in the United States.
In Bronson Towards masterpiece the
element of romance is combined with
tremendous earnestness. The clang of
the saber, the rattle of musketry, the
boom Of the cannon, the waving of
signal lights: all form vivid back
ground to which the heart is naturally
Rttuned. In the movement of the play,
so far as military incident is concern
ed, history is closely followed.
The story Of Shenandoah is in
tensely inter5 sting, giving scope for
many thrilling scenes, and, like the
basis of all great plays, it is simple
and clear.
Mr.. Neill has promised to bring here
the most complete company he has

servant had not performed his duties.

rushed out to the light. 81 have been

as I whipped out knife. He held out
his right arm. There was no mark

were two tiny scratch-like punctures,
and two little globules of poison sink
