OF fact, the A. A. U. has gone into this
matter very thoroughly. and instead Of
being dilatory has been working faith
fully In behalf OF our athletes. When
speak Of the A. A. U. In this connection,
should really refer 20 a committee Of
three men who have conducted the
whole business.
When the first Of the revived 0lym-
plan games were held some years ago
at Athens, II was agreed that each
country should have one representative
who should look out for the interests
Of his own land. II was also decided
that each Of them should have the
power 10 appoint a committee TO help
him in settling all matters In regard to
sending team 10 represent his coun-
try in future games
The American representative Is Pro-
fessor Sloane OF Columbia university.

II is needless 10 mention that these
represent the wild dance participated
in by Miss ST. Trevor and the Earl Of
Burford. Naturally. they create a SEN
sation, and II goes without saying that
the fortune OF the managers Of the
Frlvollty Music hall Is as good as made.
Miss Woodberry, In order 10 aid her
mother. who Is practically pennlless,
has been induced by the st. Trevor wo.
man to go on" in song. She is well
received and appears to have made a
hit, when her mother appears in one OF
the dress circle boxes. She chdes her
daughter, who falls in a dead faint,
while the audience rises menaclngy at
the parent All OF these entangle-
ments are Of course Strengthened out in
the end. and Miss Woodberry eventual
ly marrles the stupid young minister
who seems 70 object 10 nothing, and
who is, in both appearance and manner,
about the most unminlsterial divine
ever seen on New York stage.
Amelia Bingham was as radlantly
beautiful as ever In the role OF Lady
Winifred Crosby. II has generally been
supposed that this lady, while possess
ed OF very charming stage presence
and the ability 10 acceptably enact
roles calling for no special exhibition
OF power, was wholly unequal to the
task Of portraylng violent emotion. but
In the Royal academy scene she demon
strated beyond all possibility OF cavil
that she would shine as brilliantly In
strong roles as In comedy. 1t is posi-
bic that she may have overdone this
scene trlhe. but inasmuch as II pro-
vides situation In which there could
be scarcely any limit TO the rage Of a
mother. II is very likely that less We
hement acting would have failed to
make the desired point, And. after all,
In melodrama points must be shown
and not merely suggested. as In the so
called society drama which is at pres
ent in vogue.
j.. NJ. Holland as Koldltz gave a mag
nicent performance, marked by con-
siderable subtlety and Just a sufficient
appreciation Of humorous phases OF the
character to prevent II from dropping
out OF the wildly colored melodramatic !
background.
The real hit OF the piece. however
was made by Jessie Busley as the mu-
sic hall artist As a matter OF fact, 1
there are no such vaudeville performers I
as Miss Busley portrays but she made II i
what the authors desired II to be, and 4
that is the main point Miss Busleys
achievement Is all the more notable
when IL is remembered that she mas not
heretofore attempted anything in this
line, II Is a conservative estimate OF
her increased worth to managers 70 as
sert that she could now easily get an
enlightenment at at least $50 a week more
than the figure named In her present
contract.

under penalty OF exposure, TO paint un-
der the shoulders OF the partially fin

best scenes in the play, when Lady

persons who have consplred to injure
the reputation OF Miss Woodbury. and
then confesses that the latter is her
