cd Julia Marlowe adopts for varying
the readings of a part in which she
appeaT1 for a great number of consec-
utive performances, and it is not likely
that this method often stands her in
good stead and helps to preserve the
variety which ~chaTacterizes her work.

thor, native Or foreign, with the eXcep-
ton, of whom it can be said that four
of the leading theatres in New York
have drawn crowded houses with mis-
plays ait the one time.
The "Peg Woffington" which Charles
Frohman has selected for Maude Adj

many papers. Mr.. Frohman's "Wof-
fngton' is by another author, and was
purchased two years ago. The Curzon

the title role, turns out to be a failure,
and Curzon has cabled to Mr.. Frohman
asking him if he will not send Miss
Adams over in April to play the Gar
rick in "L'Aiglon."
Mr.. and Mrs. Nat c.. Goodwin MAX
