One evening the Celt was asked if he did not know the play by heart. s'Know it by heart; not much. 1 know it, but my heart is not mixed up in the matter.

 An evidence that Ada Rehan is not in want was furnished last week when among the transfers it was found that Miss Rehan has sold a bit of property up in Harlem for $3O,OO0. It was the impression of many that Miss Rehan's entire fortune was wiped out in Au- gustus Daly's enterprises. This is er- roneous. Miss Rehan owns beauti- ful home in West Ninety-third street. some property at Monmouth Beach and some more real estate i'll Harlem which yields her a handsome income.

 Every now and then a rumop is ta- ken off the shelf dusted and circulated and this time the old story that Max inc Elliott and Nat Goodwin are to separate has again been revived. klaw and Erlanger's name is men tioned as Maxine Elliott'S future man. agers, and Mir Goodwin contends in asmuch as it is hard problem to find play suitable for himself and wife, he is going to do just what E. H. Sothern has done, by each going in separate ways and each iii the stellar ranks. Of course it depends a great deal upon whether a suitable play can be obtained for Miss Elliott to star alone; if one is found there is no req son why she should not have the same success which has befallen Julia Mar lowe, hthel Barrymore and other beau tiful actresses.

 1t is curious fact" observed well known circus agent recently, ''that the owners of the tent shows. no matter how wealthy they may become. rarely break into large cities for resi- dential purposes.

 Things have changed very much from the old days of Count Johannas who was pelted with eggs every time he tried to act. and James Owen OConnor, who received 9 shower of potatoes when he filled that memor- able engagement at the Star theater, New York. Nowadays the public show their disapproval by staying away from the theater and causing freaks to collapse, while those whom they delight in praising are frequently the beneficiary of some remarkable exhibitions of appreciation. Recent ly at the farewell performance of Ethel Barrymore in Chicago, she was pelted with yiolets. Last week, in Philadelphia, Maude Adams had her dressing room converted into a hot house, while during performance on Wednesday night the occupants of the boxes threw so many roses at her that the entire company was busy col- lecting them from the floor of the stage- 1t is not an unusual occur renee to see Mrs Carter receiving bou- quets after bouquets of violets at the Criterion theater, which have been thrown at her from all parts of the house, inasmuch as the rules of the theater prohibit the passing of flowers over the footlights by the ushers. Truly things have changed.
