STAGE STORIES.


She was hardly what you would have
called an intense woman, and she GER
tainIy did not deserve to be thought IN
usual. She was pretty in an ordinary
sort OF fashion, but her face lacked char
acter, and she would have been inteIli-
gent, as intelligence goes with her sex, had
her mind been more thoroughly balanced.
Her hair was too dark to be golden, and
too golden to be brown; her mouth was
too small for an appearance Of resolu-
tion. and too large for mere loneliness;
her figure had none Of the roundness that
comes with years. and less OF the square
ness that shows the absence OF them.
This was her look. And she would have
been bratHy had she been practical, and
practical had she not been so much a
sreamer. This was her intellect. She
was fond OF few people. and disllked none.
This was her heart. The strangest thing
about Katherine Gorham was In the fact
that she was by profession an actress.
Early last season she was offered a
part in a farce that was further famed
for its audacity than for its humor. She
refused It. and then thought and talked
the matter over for few days. Finally
she accepted. In September the play was
taken or the road and the company be-
gan its labors for the year. Most of those
engaged had been longer on the stage
than had Miss Gorham and were much
pleased with the affability OF their man
ager, the opportunities of their piece and
with things in general. Miss Gorham felt
ashamed Of the lines that fell TO her and
ashamed Of herself for speaking them
But the salary was providentially large in
consideration OF the service rendered and
the prospect was that the organization
would be kept in New York for an indef-
finite run. queer little fiat, Just off
Columbus Avenue, made such an arrange

The man whose role was opposite Miss
Gorham's had no friends In the newspaper
business and his work was not SO good
that be won any. Accordingly he was
given two weeks notice and left after
creating some excitement by acting child
fshiy and refusing to go on in the accus-
TONED way on the following night. Ralph
Davis was his successor, and ne was so
clever that few of his associates could
tolerate him. He made himself agreeable

admire him more. Mr.. Davis had been

ADJUSTMENTS Still FEW
EugeRie Blair Continues TO Nc
nopOlize the Local Field.
rDivorcons, Drew Only Fair Houses
10 the Columbia Last Week, But
Better Fortune Is Expected for the
Coming Presentation of "Lndy
CIancnrthy" mt the Popular House.

Eugene Blair did the biggest business
done last week in Washington. She also
d5l the worst and paused for considerable
lengths of time at every stop between the
two extremes For Miss Blair was the
only attraction on the local RiaIto and will
be for something like q month to come.
Her production of "Divorcons" ran out its
allotted period with only the doorstep and
the bicycle as rivals and her engagement
in Lady Clancarthy,'' which begins to-
morrow night at the Columbia, will be
played with like advantages. Despite the
declining influence of both stone stoop and
steel steed the entertainment-hungry did
not go TO see Sardou's comedy as might
have been expected, and the consequence
was that the seven appearances can hardly
have brought in a sum more than suffi-
GENTLY large to cover all the expenses of
the stay But Miss Blair insists-and prob
ably insists rightly-that Tom Taylor's ro-
mantle drama and a proper display of per-
severance will ultimately win the day and
her departure from this city is not yet def
Eitely scheduled.
Indeed. it is rather difficult to account
for the lack of enthusiasm shown last
week, for. while neither the weather ror
Miss Blair's support was what might have
been wished for her style OF offering. il
would seem that the extended period dur
ing which Washington has been without
means of amusement would insure profit
for the star who yentured to break the
spell. There are many features promised
in the presentation of lady Clancarthy'
that should prove popular. and the Column
bia viii probably be better filled after to-
morrow. The moving pictures OF the Fitz-
simmons JeiTries fight, which have been
on exhibition at 1909 Pennsylvania Avenue,
have gone on their way, and not the slight
est opposition offers itself TO Miss Blair's
success.

coIumbia-~Lady cIancarthy. -

In one Of the curtain speeches with
which De Wolf Hopper was supplied last
season reference was made by the altitude
nous comedian 10 the generous and neees-
szry support afforded him by the public.
For" said he, though We are glad 10
please you and would be equally glad were
there no remuneration in sight it costs
considerable amount of the coin of the
realm 10 take the Russian court around
with one" The facetiously inclined may
feel upon glancing over the cast of char
acters named above, a certain pity for the
individual who is obliged TO support clan
of English noblemen, while the mere prac-
teal may say with reason that the costum-
ing Of such list of characters should be
a rather expensive affair The truth of
this assumption is guaranteed by Eugene
BIair's press agent, who says however,
that his star has gone above the require
ments Of the Offering and given it such
production as will astonish those who wit
ness the performance tomorrow night at
the Columbia.
LADY Clancarthy" is a romantic drama
from the pen OF Tom Taylor, and, while a
number OF years have passed since its Ire-
mier presentation it is said to be still in
many respects a remarkable play. The au-
thor OF The New President" was as much
master Of certain graceful style of dia-
logue as Pinero is of epigrams and para
doxes. Consequently. Lady Clanearthy'
abounds in delightful bits OF sentiment and
foreefrl speeches. Its story tells of the
marriage of Lord and Lady Clancarthy
while still boy and girl-as was the custom
in those days-of their long separation, of
their meeting as strangers, OF the new
love tale between them. OF the husbands
revealing himself. and, finally. OF the heroic
manner in which the wife saves him from
death at the hands OF the king. The theme
Is a charming one and should be charming
ly portrayed.
Miss Blair, who last week gave sam
PIE OF her ability as a comedienne, will
have an opportunity in the title role of the
piece to prove herself possessed of the
emotional powers which have made her
so many admirers here. II is said that
the support afforded her will be more than
usually good. and that the entire presen-
tation viii be a most worthy one. Seats

and kindly of dramatic folk before an au-

will give an idea of both sides of the ques-
ton, it is printed here in full:
In reading Father Ducey's address to the re-

ter and no worse than other people"
But with all due difference to Father Ducey,
who has known all the great actors of recent
times, / think actors Just little better
than other people.
Their faults, which no one can deny, are not
in the class of mean faults-they apt TO
be the larger vices Of the human kind, amid
which the soul sometimes fourishes a rose
blossoms in the mire.
The generosity OF the actor is proyerhial.
Not generosity Of purse alone, but a liber-
atty of view, thought, and Judgment giving
