Blanche Walsh.

Blanche Walsh will be seen at the Jeff erson theatre next Wednesday in an en- tirely new emotional drama by H. J. w. Dam, entitled La Madeleine" Miss Walsh has distinct personality which she puts into her work. and which prob- . ably is the secret of much of her sue cess. A, writer in a recent number of an English magazine calls her the Sara Bernhardt of the English speaking stage Any one who ever saw her in the Bern- hadt roles. Cleopatra, Gismonda, Fedora, or La Tosca will admit that she pos sesses all the brilliancy, dignity, fire, pathos, and intelligence of the famous French queen of the stage, with the very desirable additions of youth, and refined beauty.

In every city where she has visited the receipts have equalled, if not surpassed those of her first success. The Christian" No comparison can be drawn, however, be- tween the two dramas since one was a modern problem play, and the other is a romantic costume drama, that takes us back to medieval times, when Philip the Second ruled over Spain and half the world besides. The scenery and costumes are described as being of regal splender Miss Aliens company for this season is a superb one.

Nell McEwen Rose de BriSsac. ............ Agnes Roslyn Mrs. Foley. ........Alma Weston Stephanie de Morivart...... Rose Coghlan
 The Rose Coghlan portrayal of this play yesterday filled the Jefferson even to standing room at the matinee. and it drew thether an appreciative audience at night. It brought too, many recollec- tions to the minds of old play goers.
 The play is essentially the story of an adventurer thrown out from a background held by a pure and lovely girl. The ad- venturer, "Stephanie de Morivart' was none other than Miss Coghlan, who for the moment forgot her own personality, and lived and looked and talked the life of a character known in all the capitals of Europe in the days of the papal gov ernment thirty years ago. Too much praise cannot be said for the part pre- sented by Miss Coghlan. It's dramatic cli- maxes call for great strength and never is Miss Coghlan wanting In the least. Her power as shown, too. without any man. oeuvers. She sinks her own self and be- comes for the time the character she rep resents. It Is a great piece of acting, and only strong artist could meet it's demands.
 The support was to the end of the list excellent. Emmett c. King. as Sir Hor- ace Welby," the cold booded Englishman, had to be strong and well-balanced in or der to meet and foil "St tepbapie Mice McEwen as Alice Verney," was as sweet, attractive and winning as .Stephanie" was cruel calculating and repellent The one set off the other. The play as whole was very dramatic and no audience can escape it's power. It has long held high place on the stage, and it bids fair to live many years longer.
