Alice Nielsen Sued

Alice Nielsen, the opera singer, has been
sued by Max Decsi, vocal teacher, for $72O,
which Decsi claims Miss Nielsen owes him
for music lessons given between February,
1890, and July, 1901:
II suppose" said Miss Nielsen, "Decsi
thinks that because am successful as a
star. it will be an easy thing for him to get
some money. Well, I'm not as foolish as all
that. He seems to make point of the fact
that was married to Mr.. Wentwig. All the
world knows that, and ] am not denying it. y
Mr.. Decsi says that he gave Miss Nielsen
vocal lessons in the west and that she was
known as Mrs. Wentwig. She was always
a promising pupil, and he predicted great
future for her. If Miss Nielsen did not un-
derstand that she was taking singing lessons
at the time, he says he is very sorry, but he
told her that it would cost her so much a
visit, and the bill amounted to $72O. It has
never been paid, says Decsi, so he is going
to see what the law says about it.

Coming Attractions

BURBANK-(Advance Announcement.)
Nance O'Neil has announced about as un-
usual list of plays for her engagement at
the Burbank as one could select for one
weeks series. Leah, in 1.-The Jewess," Ca
mile, Mrs. Dunning, in True to Life" the
play that first made Miss O'Nel famous in
the east; Parthenia, in 'lngomar," and
Nancy Sykes, in Dickens "Oliver Twist
What a list that is can only be appreciated
when it is asked who else is there who could
acceptably play all the roles named? Yet
Miss O'Neil has others to draw from in
which she is quite as successful The quail
ties that go to make a success in Camille,
Lady Isabel and Parthenia are widely diff
fcrent from those required for Leah and
a Nancy Sykes. Miss O'Neil is particularly
fortunate in arriving at an unusual promi-
nence while yet her youth is one of her
principal charms. She is acknowledged to
be beauty and it is greatly to her credit
that she should choose to play such rugged
and uncouth characters as Leah and Nancy
Sykes, when her youth and beauty enable
her to dazzle the eyes in the well dressed
social heroines Her ambition to be known
as an actress would appear to be greater
than any wish to be admired for her purely
natural gifts. Her photographs show her
to be a very dowdily dressed Nancy Sykes,
a richly dressed Camille, a plainly dressed
Lady Isabel, picturesquely dressed Leah
and gracefully draped Parthenia. Her ex-
pressive face is that of very sensible, un-
affected young woman, who is SO confident
of her power that she has nothing whatever
to worry about. It Is of such sterling ma
terial that tragedienne must necessarily
be made of. She has the stature, the well
developed figure, the commanding voice and
bearing for the great line of roles in which
she has chosen to excel and her success
should only be measured by the application
she gives to her art.
Her opening appearance in San Francisco
was as Leah, in ''The Jewess," and she was
told by the critics that she put too much
energy in the part. She retorted that Leah
was not a modern society belle, schooled to
be discreet in all she did. That Leah gave
her passion full swing without regard to
what comment might be made by the young
ladies of her native village. However, as
Parthenia she proved that gentler methods
were quite as ready to her hand, and as Ca
mile she further showed that with as great
opportunity to be tragic she could compass
the effects required in much more of today :
style than Leah's. Miss O'Neil is said to be

Julia Marlowe has made hit in the
production of her new play, 'The Countess

tinct from the range of characters usually
preferred by Miss Marlowe, there is, in the

herself, and the personal fascination is such
that Valeska is quickly adopted as worthy
addition to the portrait gallery Of charac

Lyman B. Glover in reviewing her per

In applying herself to a varied range oi

providing her friends with ample reasons
