the large and enthusiastic audiences which
have greeted this favorte during the past
week her closing week will be fully as sue
cessful as the opening one The play she
gives us the first of the week is the one in
which she scored her first triumph In
America, and all her subsequent success
dates back to the old California theater,
where there came a. stranger in a strange
land to ask for the approval of the public
Her success was immediate, and has never
since been interrupted. The dramatic crit
les have never ceased telling how the brill
liant Polish actress almost paralyzed them by
her unexpected marvellous acting that first
night at the California theater. In two
months Modjeska was almost as famous
as she was in continental Europe. The ball

Guiding a matinee on Saturday, Modjeska
gives Camille" Though every paygoer
must have seen it over and over again. yet
its pathos has lost none of its sadness
through familiarity or repetition. 1t is a
play that genius has always claimfd for

star of peculiar brightness is to shine
among the vaudeville celebrities at the Or

Fashionable theaters in the great cities are
open to Norm. and the bait that tempted
her to vaudeville must have been grea,

includes Dockstader, Geo. Primrose. Pete
