reason to be proud of her. for it was
owing to the generosity and confidence
of two score of wealthy art loving
Americans that she has been able to
complete her studies under the great

ing countrymen and women how really
great her genius is.
1t is fairly overwhelming to think of
all this little lady has achieved in her
teens, for she is hardly out of them
yet. In Berlin her education was car
ried on under the great Joachim, whose
dearest pupil she is, and she made her
formal debut three years ago in Berlin
with the splendid Philharmonic orches-
ira; Immediately afterwards she was
empress. who gave her the heartiest
praise. Following this the conquering
heroine won the Mendelssohn state
prize given by the Prussian govern
ment. and then. after a few more con-
certs, the able young girl went over to
England. There she not only enjoyed

American Theatres Not Beautiful.

In the November number of the Pail
Mall Gazette Mr.. William Archer writes
as follows:
The American theatre. like the Eng
lish theatre, is never beautiful extern
ally. A few playhouses, such as the
Garrick and the American theatre in
New York, the Broad Street theatre in
Philadelphia, and the Lafayette Square
theatre in Washington, present more or
less decorated frontages to the street.
but as a rule the theatres are either
built into huge hotel blocks, or sand
wiched away among other structures.
1t is hard to conceive that not even in
one of the western towns, where sites
are still comparatively cheap. has any
architect been moved to design a self
contained and dignified theatre; bu-
certainly have not heard any rumor
of one, throughout the length and
breadth of the United States, that can
compare in its external architecture
with the theatres of even third and
fourth rate German cities Internally,
however, the theatres are generally well
arranged, and gaily and sometimes
tastefully decorated. All modern play
houses approximate to one type: they
are not curvilinear buildings. like the
typical European theatre. but square
or oblong halls. with curved galleries
inserted. as it were, by afterthought-
