She Is Fond Of Horses and Of Her
Farm.


milwaukee .SentineL)
The people who crowd the theatres to
see Charles Frohman's star. Miss
Maude Adams, in J. NJ Barrie's beau
tiful comedy, The Little Minister" are
evidently puzzled as to why nothing
concerning the personality OF this most
successful of young English-speaking
actresses has been given to the public
her habits, mode of life, favOrite au-
thOrs. and all the other things that are
eagerly announced for the exploitation
Of less distinguished ones of her sex.
That there il keen interest in the pTf-
vatd life of the young lady is shown
by the number of letters from many
people and many places, that pour into
the management from time 10 time,
asking all sorts of polite questions
about her These questions are always
referred to Miss Adams herself, but
she is too well-bred to crafty the curl
Osity Of the questOners. even though
she knows it is born of a sincere interest
in her. To all these-and to those who
may ask similar questions about Miss
Adams during her engagement at the
DAVIDSON theatre a general answer may
be given. She is, in private life. just
like any other educated. refined young
lady Miss Adams is lowered with
the genuine friendship of many worthy
persons, who consider themselves more
than blessed in the reciprocation Of
that friendship. Is she athletict some

What watering place does she go to in
the sumner was questioned by a New
Yorker who. like many others. was
under the impression that all actresses
go to watering places in the summer
Miss Adams, il is understood. does not
go TO watering places to be gazed al
or for any other purpose. She plays

may consider very big for such a
little person, and there she is sur

does she do during the afternoOns2 was
another eager inquiry. She studies

the theatre-always and everywhere
Miss Adams is studying. constantly

has glOri6ed her. Study is the key
note Of her Iife-study for her ambi-

about the locale Of "The Little Min
lister than anybody who has never
spent a lifetime Chere. She knew more
about The pre-ViCtOTian era when she
PLAYED Dorothy in Rosemary" than
anyone who now lives to tell of it. She
does not merely study her part-she
studies everything that can P0ssibsy
have any bearing on il.
And this is Miss Maude Adams

erwise she is just like any other we'll
bred young lady.
