publishers price, and we found we
could sell them generally at half
those figures and then get n fair
profit. Small wonder then that
we're selling tons of books and
folks are buying two for the price

the famous old Covent garden, and
finishes in the interior of the National
Sporting club. More than 200 people par

commodious boxes filed with shouting
devotees in dress suits, the announcers'
platform to the right, with the distin-

holders and timekeepers lowering about
the ring, all together producing the most

morrow.
This engagement promises well for a

tertal5ment Miss Rice occupies very
unique position on the American stage
She is a brilliant comedienne Of many
accomplishments, but her greatest charm
consists in the benefcent atmosphere Of
jollity and good nature which she spreads
all around her with a prodigality that
only she can afford. Miss Rice can do
more with an audience and do it quicker
than any actress on the stage today.
From the moment her voice Is heard an
anticipatOry smile fits over every face
IN the audience, and when she bursts into
view, like a food of sunshine, the smile
spreads into a grin and develops into a
laugh. Her glowing, efferVescent person
elity Is the very incarnation of cheerful
ness and JOY. 1t is a healthy, happy
flow of humor, surrounding the somber-
ness and severity Of life, like an eternal
spring of happiness, light and content

necessitate the closing of her own regu-

than usual. AS the salary list of the
other stars already amounted to an enor-
nous sum, the managers began to think
some one who would not be quite so ex-
pensive as Miss Rice. When Mr.. Joseph
Jefferson heard this he is reported to
have said: Expense must not be con-
sidered In forming this organization. It
must be an artistic success above every
thing else. There will only be ten of us,
and each one must be the representative
of his or her line We want Fanny Rice,
and we must have her" That settled it..
Miss Rices terms were acceded to, and

"A Yenuine Yentleman" is the title of
Ben Hendricks new play, which has
achieved success and which is to be given
upon very complete and elaborate scale
by arrangement with Jacob Lift. at the
Grand for the week commencing tonight.
Mr.. Hendricks Is clever comedian of
original methods and exceptional ability.
or the many characters introduced on
the stage within the past generation, few
nave been received with greater favor
or gives promise of more enduring life
than the Americanized Swede as por-
trayed with such nice discrimination and
consistency by Mr.. Hendricks in this
popular play. 1t has been commended
everywhere for it's originality and its
quaint and unique Individuality
In "A Yenuine Yentleman" is promised
an entirely new conception Of the droll,
phlegmatic Swede of impassive coun-
tenance and methodical manners. He
has elaborated and broadened the part
and given 1t many artistic touches The
play tells the story of an ambitious young
Swede-a graduate Of Upsala university
who has left his native land to make a
fortune In America. AS a mining ex-
pert he has secured a responsible posi-
ton in one of the great mines of the
Occur d Alene district of Idaho. He is-
introduced to the audience on board an
ocean steamer en- route to America, to-
gether with the other characters that fig
ure conspicuously in the exciting events
of the Drama later on. There Is a
strong humorous element IN the play, In
which. Of course. the SMede figures prom
