and numerous claims for breach of
contract. He said that he didn't pro-
pose to be worried about these things
for the rest of his life, but wanted to
take fresh start.
Salt Lakes old friend, Hugh j. Ward,
scored big hit in Pittsburg last week
as Baron Chevrial in "A Partisan Ro-
nance" He is said to have carefully
followed the impersonation of Richard
Mansfield, and to have equalled the lat
ter in it.
The following from an eastern paper:
Sarah Bernhard has refused Jean
Richepin's play La Gitane," and it will
be presented by Antoine at his theatre.
No reason has been assigned for Bern
hardts sudden abandonment of her
American tour beyond the fact that she
met with such success in Italy that
there is a demand for her return. "Da-
lila" did not prosper on it's revival.
The ending of that play is so inconclu-
sive that the spectators frequently re-
manned in their seats, and on more than
one occasion it was necessary for some
body to announce that the performance
was over. Once the audience would not
be convinced. Never cried a man,
somebody must kill Sarah" He was
accustomed to seeing that as climax
IN Bernhardt plays.
The following, which will interest the
many friends and admirers of Miss
Maude Adams in this section of the
country, is from a Chicago paper:
Miss Adams will probably take her
fresh honors with the unruffied serenity
which has marked her achievement
from the ranks. No change has taken
place in the gentle actress since her
fame has sounded throughout her ma
tive land. The good will and in some
cases the affection of her co-workers
is hers. 1t is said by one of the mem
bers of THE Little Minister company
that her charming manner has made
the scene shutters as much her slaves
as the audiences she enthralls over the
footlights.
Presents are sent to this admired wo-
man from every quarter of the globe.
If accepted there would have been
quite enough to start respectable mu-
scum of latter-day wonders. Occasion
ally a simple token of admiration or
some flowers are accepted, but all other
gifts are declined. The exception it is
noted by those nearest her. is in favor
of presents that have not mere money
value, but hold some sentiment or sug-
gestion of it for the recipient. Among
the last is a big slab of onyx from

the little actress lived the early years
of her life with a charming actress
mother. When it was found that the
pride of Salt Lake City could not greet
her old-time friends in the familiar
places it was decided to send a bit of
the west to her. The remembrance
took the form of a small slab of polish
ed onyx dug from its native bed for
the purpose. Then a picture of Bah
BILE was done in intaglio in the center
and upon the right hand corner was cut
another picture of Miss Adams taken
from a photograph. which showed the
changeful face before it was turned
toward the dramatic mecca in the east.
Another possession of the actress,
whose real name, by the way, is Maude
kiskaden, is an enormous scrap book
which is at once the wonder and joy
of those fortunate enough to see it.
The volume is made up of all the tele-
grams and letters and newspaper clip
