THINGS THEATRICAL.

Sarah Cowell lie Moyne. who will make
her metropolitan debut in Beatrice De
Mile and Harriet Ford's THE Greatest
Thing in the World" on Monday evening
at the Columbia. began her stage career
as juvenile member of A. VI. Palmer's
famous Union Square Stock Company.
After playing the usual routine Of maids
parts in such old-tine successes as was
The Bankers Daughter" she scored a
hit as the aged woman in The Dani-
chefs" Strange to say. she was not de-
lighted with her triumph, and. when Mana
ger Palmer insisted that she continue in
the character, she resigned from the or
ganization and devoted herself TO the yocG-
ton Of dramatic reader. Two seasons ago
she returned to the theatre as the giddy
widow. Mrs. Lorrimer. in The Moth and
the Flame" and afterward created the
role OF the Duchess de Coutras in Cath

lie Moyne Is destined to make her mark
in matronly work. she is yivacious and
charming. her efforts still bearing the
print OF the spirit OF youth which she re-
fused to sacrifice even at the bidding OF
Manager Palmer. Seats for her local en-
gagement are on sale.
