Miss Frances Stevens was seen In
the role of Lady Babbie and she gave
a sweet and pretty portrayal of the
part, thoroughly credttable in every
way.
Mr.. Mitchell as Gavin Dishart has
been seen here before, as have several
other members of the company. Mr..
Mitchell made a good Little Minister,
and the supporting company was ca
pable in nearly every. part. The four
elders-R. B. Graham, George Conway,
j. c. Carlyle and Howard Morgan
were all excellent and added much hu-
NOR to the performance. Among others
in the company were w. C. Mason,
Cecil livingstone. Harry Lillford, Helen
Lee. and Mary B. Henderson.

his performance Of the swashbuckling

A controversy has arisen lately over
the spelling of the name of the great
est of poets. Some Shakesperian schol-
ars contend that it should be spelled
without the final "e, others say that
the "a" or "e' should be left out of
the last syllable, etc. AS a matter OF
fact there has been so many ways OF
spelling Shakespeare name that Mr..
Charles B. Hanford, who appears in
to-day's THE Tanning of the Shrew,
interested himself in the matter and
discovered no less than eighteen diff
ferent spellings, as follows: Shake
speare, Chaksper, Shakspere, Shaxpere.
Shakspire. Shaxspere, Schaksper,
Shakespeare. Shagspere, Shaxpur,
Shaksper, Shakespeare. Saxpere, Shake
spire, Shaxper, Shakspear, Shache-
pere, Shakespeare. In selecting a form
of spelling to use in advertising the
bardS famous comedy, Mr.. Hanford
found that the most popular was was
Shakespeare, and thus it will be used
by him during his tour.
Friday night and Saturday matinee
and night Foxy Grandpa will have
the stage. 1t will be the first presen-
tation of the play here. That Foxy
Grandpa" could ever be seen in the
flesh is due entirely to Mr. William A.
Brady. Mr.. Joseph Hart and Miss Car
rie De Mar play the principal parts
and anyone who has seen the play has
instantly realized that the opportuni-
tets offered them have ben taken ad-
vantage OF most thoroughly. A fea-
ture of the performances here will be
the toe danseuse, Mile. Fleurette. The
story is in three acts. The first scene
is laid in Vermont at a summer resort
hotel. the second at thu lake, and the
third the carriage floor of the hotel
barn. Some twenty-five of Mr..
Schultzes (Bunny's) sketches form
the basis of the play. ..t-:
The Pride of Jennico," founded up
on the chief incident in Egerton Cas-
ties novel, and dramatized by Abby
Sage Richardson and Grace L. Furniss,
authors of "a Colonial Girl and 9TH
er successful plays. will be seen here

is the most pronounced of the recent
Frohman successes and will receive
and adequate production at the hands
