magnitude rarely attempted in plays
of this character, and the weekly ex-
pense must be enormous, to say nothing
of the original cost Of production.
The argument of the play is given as
follows:
jeanette Vaubernier, beautiful mil
liners girl, dazzled by title, leaves her
humble surroundings and her soldier
sweetheart, going to a gambling house
frequented by royalty and nobility.
There, even as she has been persuaded
to go to the country with her old love,
she meets King Louis XIV, who infat-
uated. claims her for his favorite.
She becomes the Countess du Barry
and the count is sent away. Cosse- Bris-
sac, her sweetheart, had been got
out of the way, but during a petit levee
he staggers into her boudoir, having
been discovered entering by the brother
of her husband. The king is informed,
but in most dramatic scene she con-
ceals Cosse- Brissac. Her brother in
law, however, discovers her secret and
exacts as a price for silence an inn
mense sum of money.
THE -Du Barry" gives a grand fete
and, having leased the king into good
hunor, pleads for her soldiers life.
Jean du Barry reveals her secret as the
king is about to relent, and she knocks
him down. She betrays the hiding place
of Cosse- Brissac to save his life, but re,

sARpou,s ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

NJ Victorien Sardou was married I'M
der the most romantic circumstances
AS young man he worked and starved
in a garrett and disappointment preyed
upon his nerves till he fell i'll. A young
actress-Mlle. de Brecourt-took com
passion upon him, nursed him back to
health and introduced his work to the
famous actress Dejazet, through whom
he was first acted.
Sardou fell in love with and married
his benefactress, whose death, ten
years later, was the one great sorrow of
his life Sardou has made more money
than any other dramatist, and he is
probably the only man who ever gave
Sarah Bernhardt a shaking.
The incident occurred at a rehearsal
and at a period when the divine Sarah
was less eminent than she is now. They
differed as TO the way in which pas
sage should be acclaimed, and Sardou,
losing his temper, seized the actress by
the shoulder and gave her a shaking.
She retorted by Shaping his face and
afterward challenged him to a duel.

bowling Clubs For women.

Every city in the United States has
bowling clubs for women. They all aim
to promote the social as well as the
physical side of the sport. Bowling

Mis-. Martinot and the Critics.

| do not know why it is, but it is I'M
doubtedly true that the critics of this
city do not like Miss Martinez. She has
done much excellent work here, too,
and a few years ago was regarded as
the legitimate successor of the late Ro-
sina Vokes. But whatever praise of
her acting has been forthcoming has
ever been grudgingly given, though
why this should be so no one can i'm
aeine. for Miss Martinez has always
been particularly gracious to her ac-
ouaintances and is, moreover, general
~ popular in the profession.
Still the fact remains that whenever
the New York critics imagine that
there is warrant for saying something
unfayorable of Miss Martinez they usu-
ally "go for her without gloves" to use
a cant expression. One may admit that
this actress is not the greatest artist in
fine world, as one may admit that Clyde
Fitch has been responsible for better
nlavs than 1.-The Marriage Game and
vet feel that there can scarcely be justi-
fcation for these caustic comments
from two of the most prominent and
most honorable critics of this city. One
says:
"Tt is only to. be regretted that Mr.
uammerstein permitted his stage to be
used for the production of such a mall
formation. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that this presentation will not be re-
heated very often, because it appears
as if the taste of the public for such
articles of stage food had been over
satiated in spite of the fact that the
audience applauded more than liber-
ally.
1.-The audience, however, was entirely
on a level with the play, and by its I'M
reserved expression of amusement and
satisfaction recorded for itself the un-
enviable reputation Of being as far be-
low the average of American and An

is said with handsome balance on the
right side of the ledger. Then he mar
ried Miss Martinez, and that lady,

Mrs. CampbeIrs American Debut.

There have been no end of stories
afloat during the past week relative to
Mrs. Patrick Campbelrs alleged objec-
ton to opening in the Grand Opera
House, Chicago, because of the exag-
gerated statements that had come to
her of the size of the Grand Opera
House auditorium and a consequent EN-
phatic expressed desire on her part that
her American opening should take
place in New York and in a theater OF
reasonable size. These reports, accord
ing to George II. Tyler Of the Liebler
forces, had little truth for their origin
Mrs. Campbell had expressed a desire
that auditoriums of reasonable size
should be chosen for her use where II
was possible. She had made no obJec-
ton to opening in Chicago, nor, IN fact'
has she at any time had any knowledge
of this alleged controversy. Mrs. Camp
bell is not disposed to take issue with
her managers in this regard, and it VIII
be found that she will abide by their
decision. She will open at the Grand
Opera House, as previously stated, and
in "Magda" Her New York appear
ance will take place Jan. 10 at the The
alter Republic, when "Magda" will
again be presented. AS an indication
of the interest excited by her ap-
proaching visit hundreds of orders for
seats are now on file at the Grand in
Chicago. and already practically every
box for the entire engagement there
has been applied for. Orders are also
being received at the Theater Republic
in this city and in the same amazing
numbers.

the stage or whether this proud creator

not do not know: certain it is, how
ever, that Miss Sadie Martinez, playing
her psychological role, with its carnal
accessories, suggested Jimmie Russell
all the time.
In her light moments-which were
soggy-she had his airy, falsetto intona-
ton; in her lively moments-which were
circus-y-she had his facial contortions
and his lovely caricature of femininity;
in her passionate moments-which
were burlesque-she was Jimmie in his

to be very awful and bewilderingly i'm

Opposed to these two gentlemen are
the opinions of a couple of equally well

of them goes to the length of saying
that in it Miss Martinez has achieved !

The bear raised the imprisoned fore

it was kindly of the trapper to shoot
him, as there and then he did, for this
