Anna's press agent never sleeps. Lis ten to this:
 Anna Held is fighting mad again. On Wednesday night she was justifiably Wroth because she was sued for paltry S6O. which it was claimed had been ad- vanced in San Francisco to charter a To- comotive to take the little Parsienne to the races. Sixty dollars isn't much money to one whose salary is 5000 week; but Miss Held says the number is pursuing her, and she thinks 1t Is a hoo doc. On her return to her hotel on the dav she was sued she discovered that 50 was the number of her room. She changed her room immediately. On Thursday, to her consternation, she learned that there were just sixty people in The French Maid company. She refused to appear until the management had temporarily laid off a member of the company. Last occurred When Miss Held reached --er dressing-room at the Park Theater she the door She indignantly ordered it rubbed out before she would enter the room. When this was finally done, she walked into her theatrical boudoir, to De met by the awful 60 everywhere It was written on the walls in Roman numerals and Arabic characters. It was daubed on the ceiling and painted on the wainscot. Little tags with '60 on them were pinned to all the garments hanging in the dress ing-room, and staring her in the face from the big pier glass were the same aggra- vating figures as high and as big as her self. Some jealous chorus girl had done the work, and the culprit has not yet been found.
 Reports of disaster still drip from the organization which called itself the Del Conte Opera Company in this city. Hil lary Bell has taken the matter to pen. He thinks that possibly 1t was it's unseason- able gloom that destroyed the Royal Ital- ian Opera Company The singers were vocally as we'll as dramatically gifted. Even in MT.

There are some twenty-five speaking parts in MT. Henderson's arrangement and more than that number of auxiliary people. The story of the play has been printed in The Call. This is it in brief:
 Cyrano, poet, fighter and philosopher. loves the beautiful Roxane; but he has a prevent any woman from loving him. When Roxane gives him an appointment at the fashionable pastry-cook's he Is overwhelmed with surprise and delight; but he Is still more surprised and less de- lighted when he finds that she meets him only to ask him to take care of Christian, wars with him. However. Cyrano loves Roxane so purely and unselfishly that he Is content to be her friend. since he can not be her lover.
 In a moonlight balcony scene. which re- calls that of Romeo and Juliet" Cyrano wooes and wins Roxane for Christian, ar ranges their hasty marriage, and then starts with the bridegroom on military campaign.
 By flood and field Cyrano watches over Christian; writes two love letters a day and signing. Christians name, and. when the wicked Spaniards kill Christian avenges him most gallantly.
 Upon hearing the news of Christians death, Roxane retires to a convent and there Cyrano visits her daily for fourteen years, talking to her about Christian, and reading to her the letters that he has written in Christians name One day the sunlight fades he is reading a letter but he goes on reading just the same Then it suddenly occurs to Roxane-after fourteen years!-that he must have writ ten the letter or he would not know 1t by heart. As suddenly she realizes that she loves Cyrano-that she has always loved him. But alas! this discovery comes too late for happiness. Cyrano has been nor tally wounded on his way to visit her, and he falls dead at her feet

There will be considerable unique diver sion in each. The Henderson interpre- tation will be thoroughly original; as neither MT. Bell nor MT. Henderson has ever seen a performance of "Cy- rano," and it will not be made stereo- typed by over-rehearsal.
