STAGE NOTES.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Chicago papers are almost UNI
kind to Langtry. One of them says
that stage beauties fade, sad to re-
late and when the inevitable time
stroke deprives the beauty Of the bet
ter part of her capital, youth, she must
must needs reveal some art, some
genius else fall by the wayside. Pity
was the emotion called forth by Mrs
Langtry's appearance in The Degener-
ates-regrct that Father Time cannot
woman and leave wrinkles and kin
dred things out of his contributions
TO her undoing And IL will hardly
be urged that Mrs Langtry. the most
famous beauty Of more than two de
cades, has not declined Perhaps her
inludicious use OF pencil gave her
CHASTITY look last night, and possibly
sh was not quite in form after long
travels. but il was actually pathetic
10 see the efforts TO retain the sem
blance of former charms II you have
ever before boheld pink gauze thrown
over the footlights you have seen
something that has escaped our eyes
but the gau2e was there In plain
sight and the manipulation Of other
lights through four acts was directed
SO as 10 make them as easy upon the
star as conceivable, Mrs Langtry's
figure Is still nearly perfect and she is
light and lithcsome, almost for one OF
her decidedly generous proportions.
Her neck and arms might INSPIRE
sculptor even at this late day, but with
all her claims pulchrtldinous she
lacks the youth of twelve years past
and she seems TO represent an embodl-
ment Of Plncros tragedy of middle
age Briefly. the story OF The De-
generates concerns the workings Of
Mrs Trevelyan's mind and heart
