"BOOINOS" OF
ENGLISH GALLERIES.

81 was never booed by London
gallery" Minnie Madden Flske said
with smile, although | have heard
OF other American actors and actresses
being 'booed long before the unpleas'
ant experiences Of Mr.. Goodwin and
Mr.. Gillette. have known of English
actors and actresses being 'booed' by
London galleries SO you see ! hardly
believe these latest outbreaks OF rude
ness can be interpreted as meaning that
London is tired Of American things the
atrical or that prejudice has arisen
over there against us. As for indicat-
ing opposition on the part of London
theatrical people, think that Is equal
~ Improbable The Londoners have
found and are finding America a profit
able field in which to exploit some OF
their own attractions"
Miss Maude Adams Is inclined TO
think as Mrs. Fiske does.
London gallery audiences are noted
for the emphasis with which they ex-
press their dsapproyal of a play or an
strike them Just right said Miss
Adams, "and | am inclined 10 think in
this lies the explanation Of the 'booing
OF Mr.. Gilette's play, and that pre-
scented by Mr.. Goodwin. The expression
Of disapproval was perhaps more mark
ed than usual which is saying a great
deal, and this gave rise to the rumor
OF an organized attempt 10 make things
80 uncomfortable in London for Ameri-
can attractions that they would not
come there"
Il. II. Sothern's comment on the
much. talked-of- "boolng" was brief and
TO the point.
"Organized attempt TO drive Ameri-
can actors and actresses American
theatrical productions and American
managers out of London Nothing Of
IT," he exclaimed. american actors
and actresses and American plays are
as welcome over there ne English ac-
tors and actresses and English plays
are here. Why. right after the re-
ported outbreak at the London prem
iers OF When We Were Twentv-One,'
and Sherlock Holmes, the comedy Are
You a Mason? was produced under
American management at the Shaftes-
bury theater and was enthusiastically
received bv the entire audience. gallery
included. Even though some Of the Lon
don dramatic papers tried TO dignity the
hooting OF Mr.. Gillette aud Mr. Good
win by calling II a protest against
American INVASION the simple truth Is
thot the hooting was done by unruly
galleries, n thing likely to happen at
any time"

RELIGIOUS LIFE
ON CAPE COD

The religious life Of Cape Cod Is
unique study in itself. The varied phases
of religious beliefs existing now are as
interesting as the sources from which
they sprung. and many Of them retain
the real Puritanic elements Of primitive
simplicity in their forms OF worship
The most interesting type of the minis
terial brotherhood is found among the
sect called "Comeouters" and the "Holi-
ness people, of which a few remain Of

ceive their call from the Holy Spirit TO

with the hymns echoing through the
pines, are vivid harmonies Of sound and
color. Every winter the little chapel is
crowded on Sunday evening and when
there comes an outpouring Of the Holy
Ghost, not only Sundays but every
night of the week the faithful gather to
pray for the sinner and reclaim the
damned From house to house the ell
ders go during these REVEALS, their
their mannerisms and per
sonalties being full OF interest to the
student OF human nature. No other
OF a religious nature have the
peculiar fascination that these meet

elders are usually men OF power; they
throw their whole magnetic strength
into their preaching, II their talk may
be called preaching, and the strange
