word for IL. Alice fiscasT's performance OF LADY

These lines are clipped from the theatri
cal column Of New York daily newspaper
and II they fail short in describing Miss
Fischer's work in THE White Heather"
they serve at least as an example of the
sert Of criticism that has made several OF
Gothams writers famous. Aside from its
lack Of verify and its cheapness OF expres.
sion the article is in no sense a review OF
Miss Fischer's portrayal, and condemnation
without an accompanying reason becomes
simple abuse. From the first word used
until the last the only attempt made at
picking a flaw In the impersonation is IN
The doubtfully humorous remark that she
rolls through Miss COghian's original part
with all the coy grace of a runaway elec-
uric cab" Such Wit is as wearisome as
the injustice is palpsble.
The Times man does not happen to have
witnessed a performance of THE White
Heather at the Academy of Music In New
York. but he does recall having seen Rose
Coehlsn play role similar TO that of
Lady Janet in THE Sporting Duchess, -

nothing creditable in IL. The character, as

Hilda Clark is not only a charming wom-

charming sister, and between them a very
pleasant ten minutes was passed by The
Times man in procuring an interview with
the prima donna last Wednesday evening
at the National. Miss Clark, the singer.
was waiting for her cue in the wings when
the critic met her. and after she had gone
on Miss Clark, the relative, remained TO
tell the visitor what he wanted TO know
concerning the career of the actress.
"Hilda's experience in theatricals has
been as short rs it was unexpected said
the Miss Clark who remained behind.
Ours is a most musical family and all of
US either play or sing, but none had ever
thought of the stage as a means of live
ilhood. Hilda was given good education
abroad, studying for some time in Paris
and Vienna. She also had several terms in
Boston, and thus laid an extremely strong
foundation for her future labors. She was
soloist in a New York church when Mr..
Spencer, the composer of THE Little Ty-
coon. heard her and made her an offer 10
go out in his Princess Bonnie company.
The terms and the position were SO tempt
ing that she accepted
After season in the title role of this
piece, Hilda was engaged with the Bos-
In A Wartime Wedding The Bohemian
Girl, Prince Ananias,' and Robin Hood.
VI all these characters she liked Maid
Marian best and would not have been
averse TO remaining in it permanently. La

rather rough but thoroughly good hearted
member Of the aristocracy, and this is what
Miss Fischer made her. The performer
looked the part, spoke her lines intelligent

is undoubted. One does not look for perfec-
tion nowadays, and If on such a quest
would not enter the popular-prlced houses.
To the unsophisticated provincial Miss
Fischer's portrayal seemed very adequate

And one more recoIlection

And one more recollection
Last winter Lydia Barry. who may be
seen this week at the Grand was coming
home from the theatre in Harlem ele-
waited train. Two members Of the dear.
intelligent public stood near her and they
were discussing theatrical matters in tones
that were audible all over the car. THE
whole play was simply gorgeous" said one.
Perfectly ideal" remarked the other.
Let's see-what was the name of the
thing"
Have you forgotten already? wouldn't
have your memory for anything. Why 1t

Il guess So
is Maxine Elliott any relation to
George Elliott"
''0f course-he's her brother"
The girls decided that Miss Elliott in
private life was the wife of Tim Murphy.
while Miss Barry enjoyed an inward laugh.
Then the inquisitive one of the duo asked
what Mr.. Murphy was to use for a We
hicle during the coming season.
"A melodrama, called a Female Drum
mer.'" answered the knowing one
"Is that the piece a minister wrote-a
man named Rev Griffith Davenport %
"Oh, no. Rev. Griffith Davenport is the
name of one of Hoyt's farces. a Female
Drummer is by Lottie Blair Parker
Appalled, by the wonderful wisdom OF
her companion, the younger woman re-
mained in silent contemplation of a pass
ing express train during the time consumed
in the operation. Then she turned around
with a smile of conscious supremacy. "Oh.
of course" she exclaimed. 'Lottie Blair
Parker is the woman who introduced Ia

And then Miss Barry was obliged TO
choose between changing her seat and go
ing into fits of laughter.
Apropos of this incident is a rather
laughable one that occurred to Thomas Q.
Seabrooke while he was starring in THE
Isle of Champagne" The company was
playing in one of the suburbs of Chicago
and Mr.. Seabrooke had followed his Sat
urday evening performance by visiting two
or three refreshment resorts of the Windy
City. At the first of these he met rather
fine-looking young fellow who was already
in the third stage of intoxication. The two
had drink together and then the youth
became curious. Turning to his companion
