COMING EVENTS.

On a week from Tuesday there viii come

scribed az being one of the most sterling
stock organizations in the country-the

This capable band Of players is under the
management Of John w Albaugh jr. and

Monumental City for 4 year and half

cy Winter. John T. Craven, Scott Cooper.

Under the name Of Katherine CoTcoran
this clever leading woman won many no.
table success in her husbands efforts.
Her last appearance was made in Mar
garet Fleming" at the Fifth Avenue The
atre, and her portrayal OF the wronged
woman is said TO have created a sensa-
tion. The vehicle. however, was too ad
vanced in its ideas to make money. The
Misses Julie A. and Chrystal Herne will
also appear here with their father in The

The entertainments of the Herrmanns
have always been noted for their novelty
and that TO be offered next week at the
Columbia Theater will prove no exception
to the rule. Its most unique feature will
be Madame Herrmann's new act, La
Femme Cameleon,'' a turn which will prob
ably create a sensation among the ladies

nineteen years.
His increased popularity in the East has
not made Mr.. Holmes forget the many
Western friends who encouraged his earl

try include Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinna-
ii, Evanston, Detroit Toledo and several
smaller towns, where his lectures have be-
come an annual event in the amusement
and educational world. The Chicago sea

first production. l don't believe l could
go through with an impersonation that
did not appeal to me in just that way"
Mrs. Carter rose. walked to the mirror
at one end of her little compartment and
returned. There is considerable skepti-
cism nowadaws," she continued, regard
ing the ability of an actress to feel what
she is doing, butt can only speak for
myself have never ceased to be what
am supposed to be and hope l never
shall. Certainly the fire and intensity of
nature cannct be reproduced without be-
ing understood and nothing but realness
with an artist can make an audience ap-
preciate what she is doing. Suffering can
be simulated. perhaps, and joy can be sim
ulated and even tears, but the result is
not what it would be otherwise. There
are certain tones Of the voice that can
only be gotten b. genuine anguish, certain
gasps and sobs that can only come from
the physical condition resulting from gen
uire anguish. and certain expressions that
are not forced but involuntary. of course,
the strain Of going through these things
is tremendous and / could never stand it
if did anything but act. During the sea-
son | only cat and sleep and go to the
theatre-even then an extra matinee puts
NE all out.
Speaking of skepticism. someone has
said that did a player really lose herself
in her part she would also lose her lines
and become unreservedly the creature she
was portraying. This seems reasonable
and yet it is not necessarily true. After
one has studied a role for months the
lines are spoken through habit-even if
they do not portray the emotions of the
character so well that they would come
first to the lips anyway. One learns the
manners and mannerisms of her assump
ton through the words placed in her
mouth, and so the two come together
that's all.
so Augustin Daily has said that any
woman with intelligence can act? Well
mo- should prefer not to answer that and
and yet | do not agree with Mr.. DAILY
If any woman with intelligence can act
why is it that there are so few good &C
tresses? My own experience argues against
such notion. Genius and intellect may
go together, but hard work is required TO
bring them out-or at any rate to attract
attention to them. Full many a flow
er-. You don't think that my ability
could have been hidden? Thank you,"
Mrs. Carter put out her hand. and The
Times man shook it. Then he walked
away. AS ne opened the stage door to
leave the theater he heard the actress and
the playwright talking together. Mrs.
Carter was speaking very earnestly:
Il don't need rest-I can't walk through
a part-I will play at the matinee tomor-
row. just as I would at an evening per-
formance," she said.
