STORY OF a SLAVE

TO be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form Of
slavery George d. Williams of Man
chester, Mich, tells how such a slave
been SO helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work. This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleoplessness, melancholy, headache
backache, fainting and dizzy spells This
miracle working medicine is a godsend Ia
weak, sickly, rundown people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold by

Stockwell opens Sunday night in his
original creation of the Deacon in "A
Midnight Bell"
Mentioning The Turtle" which
piece, by the way, is touring the
State to a vigorous accompaniment of
abuse and slim patrOnage-sOme Of the
metropolitan newspapers were quite
excited over our swift treatment of it.
In an editorial by the inquiring title of
The Herring or the Nose?" the New
York World says:
San Francisco has Just had first view
of a play which filed a New York play
house every night and a two matinee
performances a week for many months.
The Pacific slope critics ran from the per
formance with their fingers to their noses
and ransacked Crabb and Roget for syn
onyms for the word "disgusting" The
owners of the house in which the play
was produced have sued the producers
and say that they fear they will never
be able to dsinfect their theater.
San Francisco has the reputation of be-
ing an extremely easy going, broad
minded town. What is the matter?
Is San Francisco indulging in a spasm
of prudery? Or is our moral sense of
smell so clogged by the high perfumes
which our theatrical managers have held
under our moral nose that we can no
longer detect the presence of a theatrical
dead herring?

ing NV first appearance was at the
Grand Opera house, Toronto, Canada. The

that Mr. WalCott, who is now in my COM

extra girl in "Arrah-na-Pogue." Then |
joined Mr.. Morrison's company and have
been with him almost constantly since.
LEWIS MORRlSON.

young, fond of excitement and had moth
ing else to do I was an officer in the
Federal service during the civil war. At
the close of the war L drifted into New
Orleans, and one night at the theater fell
in love with the art and determined TO try
the stage. Lawrence Barrett was then the
manager of the theater and laughed at
me when ! told him of my determination.
He f1nally gave me a part-that of Cap
tain Amersfort in a farce, THE Loan of
a Lover" In six weeks time 1 was play
ing Barradas in "Richelieu'-rather an
ambitious part for novice.
MARGARET ANGLIN.
There is little about me that is in

fession My intent was to give readings

QUERITA VINCENT.
With me the stage was matter or

ambitious to be some mans housekeeper
for my board and clothes-for too often
that's about the reward of the dutful
wife. l looked forward to the time when
l could be self-sustaining and self-inde-
pendent. l thought seriously OF law ana
medicine, and was about to choose be-
tween them when my attention was
drawn to the stage. decided that the
50 me amount of hard study required in
obtaining a diploma in either law or
medicine, If devoted to some branch of
the stage, would bring greater returns,
and it also offered the advantage OF be-
ing at least partly self-supporting from
the start which the study of medicine or
law does not. As l had natural talent

Ursula is suddenly brought to realize
that her capriCiOus escapade is apt to
cost brothers life. And that is how
she enters the bifurcated garments of
the other sex and essays TO take her
kinsman's place in the dueling field
There are many complications, none
the less humorous on account of their
seriousness to the young woman in
volved, and finally Sir George finds out
the whole business and does what any
noble Briton would do with such an
enemy-marries the girl and throws his
doors wide open to the dangerous sex.
Mr.. Miller will have a long. strong
part as Sir George Sylvester; Mr. Nor
gan will be the hot-headed brother to
Lady Ursula. and Miss Angin will be
that masquerading parsonage herself.
Mrs Thomas Whiffen, one of the best
beloved artists on the stage. will make
her first appearance with the company
in a part that is said to be not entirely
unworthy. on the whole the cast of
Lady Ursula" should be stronger than
the one that found success in the origi-
nal production, and the prospects are
that Columbia Theater tickets will be

Next in Importance is the revival of
Denis O'Sullivan and "Shamus O'Brien"
in the Tivoli on Thursday night. A de-

midweek opening. This Irish opera we
know for one of the masterpieces of
modern composition, and in both this

Gently has attracted attention in dra-
matte circles The gifted colonel in his
enthusiasm scared to dizzy heights. 1t
would seem, judged by his answers to the
question, who Are the Friends of the
Human Race which formed the opening
for the following response:
THE citizens of the mimic world, who
have delighted the weary travellers on
the thorny path, amused the passengers
on the fated train. and filled with joy
the hearts of the clingers on spars, of the
fioaters on RATS With fancy's wand

brought to life and made to act again the
parts they played The hearts and lips
that long ago were dust are made to
beat and speak again The dead Kings
are crowned once more, and from the

ers leave the graves and breathe again
their burning vows; aid again the
white breasts rise and and fall ~ IN In

death is heard again, and lips that fell to
ashes long ago are curved once more with
mirth Again the hero bares his, breast
TO death; again the patriot falls, and
again the scaffold, stained with noble
blood. becomes a shrine. When in the
mimic world the shaft of wit flies like
the arrow of Ulysses through all the
rings and strikes the center-when words
of wisdom mingle with the clowns con-
ceits-when folly laughing shows her
pearls and mirth holds carnival-when
the villain fails and the right triumphs-
the trials and the griefs of life for the
moment fade away. The stage brings
solace to the wounded, peace to the
touches the tears of grief and they are

7I ~ r MILLER and his fellow
MIM players will set aside the
II " " practical garments of mod
II M " ern London this week and
appear in the costume Of
the early eighteenth century in a play
written by Anthony Hope and entitled
The Adventure Of Lady Ursula" Her
special adventure, so we are told, con-
sists in wearing mans attire and al
most participating in a duel Nobody
but Anthony Hope would dare to
handle seriously at this time of day
comic opera episode of this sort, and
it will be a matter of curious interest
to see just how this clever young man
manages it. Considering that the deli
cate wit of The Dolly Dialogues and
the bracing heroics Of The Prisoner
Of Zenda' have dripped from the same
pen, it is not safe for US to be skepti
cal in advance. Anthony Hope is
man who has done much to make ro
nance rosy and human in an unro
mantle and superhuman age, and he
has contributed a quick wits share to
the gayety of modern conversation.
This is a forecast of how the sweet
Lady Ursula becomes a male imper
senator
Sir George Sylvester is a persistent
bachelor and has passionately vowed
that no woman shall ever enter his
house. NeighbOrs of his are the Earl
OF Hassenden and his sister, Lady Cr-
sula. She does not take much stock in
Sir Georges monastic fad, and with her
brothers betrOthed wagers that she
will make him break his VOW. She af-
fects convenient illness when passing
the house, and a messenger is dis
patched to Sir George. He is polite but
firm; explains the rules of his house
hold and offers the swooning Lady
Ursula the hospitality Of the porters
lodge near at hand. On returning home
she acknowledges her defeat and the
story comes to her brothers ears, and
this young gentleman, with the proper
pepper of the period. issues a prompt
challenge to Sir George, which is as
promptly accepted. Sir George is re
puted a skilled swordsman, and Lady
