what, in your estimate are the pres
poets of the future, so far as the Ameri-
can stage Is concerned?''
1.-THE future is not overly bright, be-
cause the system at present in vogue is
wrong. Actors and actresses nowadays
are stars before they know how to walk
or to talk with ease and intelligence. 1t
seems as If there was always somebody
ready to feature anyone who shows the
slightest ability Evolutionary schools
lead in spelling those who have the
re ouisite talent. The teachers of these
schools go in for defamation and move
ments of certain peculiar fashions. A
reciter or graduate of such institutions
Is usually the most difficult person to
teach what they should or should not do
on the stage. The majority have no other
| thought but of themselves while they are
| before the fOotlights. They speak their
| liIes well, perhaps, and then turn into
statues. They forget that it is All es-
sential that one should listen as well us
speak.
I'VE have some very fine artists who
think will make their mark yet. There
is Annie Russell-sweet Annie Russell
how I like her! and Maude Adams, an
other delightful woman, clever and ar
tistic in every way. Annie Russell has
not yet had her opportunity. Her great
est success will come when she appears
| in the higher drama. Blanche Bates Is
| another splendid artist, full of natural
grace, and the keenest appreciation of
| what Is good in her art. She delights
me. 1 really think she Is the best of
our younger actresses.
Nine. Modjeska is great admirer OF
Israel Zangwill She thinks he has struck
a. blow for better theatrical conditions,
which will long be remembered, If 1t has
not great influence upon the stage art Of
the future.

yesterday. were unusually crowded with
fans and curious people who were anxious
to look at Bob Fitzsimmons, the lanky

The game was rather one-sided. The
Jersey City players hit harder and more
frequently than the visitors, but they
made errors galore.
Terry pitched a good game and was
hard to find. Wiley hit him for a home
run by putting the bali over the fence.
and Dobbins got a double. This was the
hardest blows the visitors got in. He gave
but one base on balls and struck two bat
ters out. His fielding was also good while
his support was poor. Day. at short, who
ought to know better, made three errors
