SOON"

Three years ago Nine Melba carried
100000 out of America. This winter
Nine. Sembrich will earn as much in
three or four months as President Nc
kinleI receives in year. Nine. Games
earns more by singing every week than
her husband makes by painting por-
traits for six months. Nine. Nordica

BILE eagles falling into them, and each

uary 81, and will take possession of

followed by a new comedy, entitled

Men who are sober minded and nor
NAL in all other matters will lose their
heads and wisdom completely when
hence whatever; and countless quarts
of champagne and innumerable late
suppers have been drunk and eaten as
a result of this mania. In some cases
a cure is easy and prompt; for the
actor. in his habit as he lives, does not
appeal strongly to all victims after
qualification has become possible.
When the layman in question is able
to talk shop" in the players own
he is made welcome; but
the chances are that the Professional
will find the outsider a bore or the
worst kind. and will be unable to pre-
vent himself from showing a we'll
defined lack of interest in the new ac-
ouaintance. AS to the chap VINO
struts and poses as an actor among
people in ignorance of the deception,
he is usually of inferior quality-ex-
cent of course, in such cases where he
is sharper" or confidence man.
AS a class, actors-whether justly OF
not is not to the point of this matter
bear but a sorry reputation lot the
moral worth but there is always sup
ply of idiots who, given half an oppor-
tunity, will undertake TO convince an
entire community that they are OF the
stage stagey.-F. j. Donaghey, In Phil
