Poets have extolled her virtues, have
fallen at her feet to pay homage to
her beauty; have poured incense at her
shrine. shielding her with the invinci-
Bile armor of their praise until the
world is forced to join them in con
tagious adulation. Artists have ideal

1t is said that Langdon MitcheITs dram
attzation of Vanity Fair for Mrs.
Fiske-the, play will be called Becky
Sharp"-has seized every dramatic Incl
teresting character; and that he has
evolved a play which, as it relates faith
fully to the novel, is even more skllful
and interesting than was Mrs. Ffske's
Tess of the D'Urbervilles" as that re-
lated to the Hardy story Mr.. Mitchell
has shown a thorough apprecistion Of the
remarkable constructive ability in assem-
bling them in dramatic sequence. Ex-
marveled at its symmetry. the march OF
its events and the completeness of the
story as it is unfolded. 1t Is said OF the
play as il stands that the reader OF Van
1ty Fair will find in 1t that peculiar sat
isfaction that flows from the picturing Of
a favorite novel on the stage-the living
actually Of its scenes-while one unac-
quainted with Thackeray's story, II there
be such a one, will enjoy the play as a
perfect story in itself.
Edna Wallace Hopper will star next

production will be made under the direc-

among others, by Mabella Baker, John
Page, Ethel Irene Stuart and Nellie

At the Theaters
During the
Week.

TVHE chief interest of the week seems
to have been the revival of that old
familiar play 1.-The New Magdalen !"
and it bids fair to do the largest
L business of Miss Roberts season,
not even excepting Camille" l re-
member a year ago when East Lynne"
was put on in response to popular de-
mand that at the fall of the curtain Miss
Roberts went TO her dressing room in
despair. declaring that the part was not
suited to her. that another night like the
one Just over was more than flesh could
stand, and that she positively refused to
go on again in the part She awoke next
morning TO find the critics telling her
with one accord that 1t was the very best
work she had done and that she had
proven herself to be one of the foremost
emotional actresses of the day. She
smiled a little, ate her breakfast with
increased appetite and went back to duty
and her part as meek as a lamb.
The reception of "rhe New Magdalen"
is another surprise. After each rehearsal
a despairing hand would prune and cut
and rewrite and alter the action with a
view to bringing the play within the ap-
probation and approval of an audience
OF to-day, and many were the predictions
of failure. Miss Roberts is master hand
at cutting, and will never, if possible.
speak an unnecessary line. At the close
of the scenic rehearsal they had not yet
decided what the final speech. known to
the profession as the tag was to be.
and after Mr.. Moore had exhausted his
patience waiting for decision he said:
well, Miss Roberts. when you want the
curtain rung down tonight just wave to
me. I'll be on the lookout for the signal"
I haven't found out yet whether it was
waved or winked down, but l do know
that the speech served to put a tired set
of mummers IL. q royal good humor.
