mination to begin life over again, and
i've to better purpose than is afforded
by the large, cold bottle and the small,
not bird. At one time, a number Of
years ago, Miss Girard was a member of
Lifts Stock company, and played sea-
sons engagement In st. Paul. While
there she was general favorite among
all theatergoers in that city.
John Major, who managed the last tour
OF Julia Arthur has returned to New
York. He says that Miss Arthur Is some
what improved since her collapse in
Philadelphia. Her physicians inform her
that absolute rest is required to restore
her to health. Hereafter she will make
no long professional engagements, but
adopt the plan of Jefferson, Booth, Bar
rett and Patti, playing a limited number
or short engagements in few large cities
only.
There is httle slip of a girl named
Clara Morton playing at the New York
theater, and she has suddenly awakened
to find herself famous. Many Of the blase
nrst-nighters of this city have gone wild
over her performance, and some of them
rave about her. Strictly speaking she Is
not an actress at all, but she Is one of
the most piquant and delightful little
singers and dancers. This will readily
be acknowledged by all who have seen
her. She plays in the same company
with Ezra Kendall, the whimsical eccen-
trio comedian. whose salary Is a top
notcher, and with the gushingly French
Fougere. But neither of these two emf
nent entertainers evoke the hands be-
slowed upon chic and sprigttly Clara
Morton. And she produces all her ef-
fects with her voice and her heels But
it Is the superb finish of her execution
that wins her the plaudits of the audi
