seen also in a Shakespearean play
Twelfth Night presumably-during
next season. The fact that Sarah
Bernhard is to make L'Aiglon' the
feature of her our is another reason
why the value of the Rostand play in
English is problematical."
During the American tour of Sara
Bernhardt with Constant Coquelin, the
Theatre Sara Bernhard will be occu-
pied by Jean de Reszke, who will pro-
duce Wagnerian operas three lines a
week.
Armida, the new opera, in which En-
ma Calye will originate the leading
role, will be the last new opera in
which she will appear. 1t is said that
she will retire as an opera singer and
will make her debut as an actress in
Sapho at the Theatre Antoine, Paris.
Great success on the s%tage-the sue
cess that goes into dramatic history
and endures-is won often without
pleasing physical gifts, and sometimes
in spite of LONELINESS and awkward
ness. 1t is won by genius, which tri-

Edmond Rostand is said to be enjoy
ing an income OF $500 a day from
"L'Aiglon" and "Cyrona de Bergeras."
| Sarah Bernhardt's daily receipts in the
first are said to be $1,000, While Coque-
lin with the other has drawn an aver
age OF $4,000 for every performance.
The statement is made that Franklin
| McLeay, now in Beerbohm Trees COM
pany, is the only actor Of Canadian
birth on the English stage. II this be
true. Canada has been far more gener-
Gus in giving its players TO the United
States than TO England. Many stage
folk of prominence in this country were
born in the Dominion. Among them
are Clara Morris, Julia Arthur, Mar
garet Mather, Margaret Anglin, May r.

Roselle Knott, Nellie Braggins, Ida
Hawley, William Courtleigh, J. II. Gill

touches turns TO gold-eyen her statue.
though envious folks swear that II is
stuffed with a baser metal. Maude
made Shakespeare look seven ways for
Sunday, yet her Juliet earned more
money than was won by the Capulets
of Helena, Modjeska, Ada Rehan and
Julia Marlowe. Next season she steps
jauntily into the shoes Of Sarah Bern

already intimate 10 US that she does
not approve the style OF the great
Jewess, but means To give US a new
version OF her own. Like an expert In
the sinful game of draw poker, Maude
is playing her hand for all il is worth
while luck lasts. It does not last al
ways. Ada Rehan n was the oiled
and curled darling OF fortune. No dog
dared TO bark where Georgia Clayyan
