memorable hit at the Madison Square Theatre years ago has a young actress not yet a star, so moved the critics in New York as Miss Eleanor Robson did in the first performance of Audrey. Her distinct hit in the title role of that play, founded on Miss Mary Johnston's s book, awakened memories of the best days of the theatre, when it was home for the largest of productions.
 Of Miss Robson The Herald said: They loved her for her sweetness, they mar veled at her savageness, and they adored her when she faced down the quality of the Governors Ball" William Winter said in The Tribune: Miss Robson in- vested the role of the forest waif with piquant beauty and expressed her emo tion in strain of melodious fiuency. and beauty and a demeanor of alternate calm and fire, her personality Is excep- tionally interesting, she Is uncommonly felicitous in denotement of passionate feelings" Alan Dale said in The Amer jean: Miss Robson was admirable. She spoke her lines exquisitely." The World said: Rarely does an actress reach Broadway who has such sweet and winning personality, such a pretty face and figure, and who-and this is her highest mendation-speaks the Eng fish language so musically and so well. v
 This little actress who has so won the hard hearts of the critics. has been act ing only a few years, and Is duplicating a rapid rise of Miss Maud Adams. She is a child of the stage. Her father was well known as a player, and her mother, Mrs Madge Carr Cook, has supported the best stars In the country. Miss Robson was known throughout the country to the player-folk in whose company she travelled with her mother. She learned through them all the arts of the realm behind the footlights. Thus when she made her debut at 16 in a stock company In Milwaukee she astonished both those with whom she played and the audiences, by her exquisite art. She was discovered in this company by New York man. ager and given more ambitious work.
 She had the opportunity, after two sea- sons, to appear in New York, creating the role of Bonita in the original cast of Arizona" Miss Robson was so charm ing in this breezy role that she immedi- ately caught the favor of the metropolis. and the prediction was made that she would soon be among the most popular women on the stage.
 Her next chance was in "Unleavened

Artistic Life in Paris.

London Telegraph's Paris Letter.
 One of the leading foreign sculptors in Paris has had a fearful dissension with his chief model, a girl of 1e. who fell madly in love with him. The sculptor liked the girl, but he had another damseI in view. and his model. in order to re- venge herself, went lately into his studio and smashed all his statues and statu- cites. The man held in his rage for the time being, but while the model was asleep he cut off all her hair. This hap Spened recently, and when the model awoke she rushed with a dagger at the sculptor. who defended himself with knife. and a desperate encounter ensued between the two. Both were separated by neighbors, and were found to be se- riously injured. especially the young wo- man. who Is now in a hospital in a de- plorable condition. In spite of her in- juries she does not forget her rival and the sculptor, and swears that she will have a deep revenge on them should she recover.

 Among the many captivating stories for children, none is so popular as the beau tful fairy tale of Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. So popular has this become that 1t is now installed as a reader in most of the public schools throughout the land. Almost every mother, and every child is now familiar with the strange and beautiful dream of Alice in Wonderland" but it is not until quite recently that this charming story has been set to music and dramat- ized

 Mary E. Wilkins Is SO delighted with the success of Walter E. Perkins in the dramatization of her novel. Jerome A Poor Man." that she is said to have de- clared that she will write an original play for MT. Perkins from which she will afterwards construct a novel, This IS rather a reversal of the usual order. though not a bad idea by any means.
 Olga Nethersole spoke her mind freely in regard to the present condition or the stage in the course of an address deliv- cred by her to the Manchester Arts Cluo not long ago. The actress said that now adays a career before the footlights was regarded by many as the last resource of responsibility. and remarked upon how often 1t happened that woman whose name was momentarily before the pubic through some act of notoriety. was plac- ed upon the stage by spectaculars and the public encouraged the vandalism by growing to see the curiosity"
 On Wednesday, November 26, Dan Daly began his starring tour, under Walter D. Yager's management, In The New Clown" at Schenectady, N. Y. He played the part of Lord Cyril Garston, who thinks he has murdered a man and who masquerades as a circus clown to con ceal himself from justice. Mir. Daly as a bogus clown suggests wildly fantastic possibilities, and it Is fair presumption that he has taken advantage of all the chances provided him.

 Newgate prison, now in the housebreakers hands was only one of two Newgates that earned Khastly fame in the heart of Dublin until a comparatively short time ago. and on It's site there is now municipal playground for children. It was in the Irish Newgate that most of the prisoners of the I799 rebellion were incarcersted, and where many of them were executed-how many will never be known. Lord Edward Fitzgerald died in Newgate prison; Robert Emmet was in it for time the night before his execution; and the Broth CTS Sheares were executed there.

Aeain this week Montgomery theatres ~iiI he dark until Friday night.
 December is not regarded as a month of good business for theaters on the southern Circuit, and the bookings are consequently meagre. The poor business in December is said to be due to the fact that the people are planning for the holidays and there is activity in commer- cial and domestic life.
 The only attraction offered during the week by the Montgomery Theatre is The Climbers" a Clyde Fitch comedy which comes Friday night. This play was pre- sented in New York by Amelia Bingham and is said to be one of the best plays of the prodigous playwright.
 At McDonald's Theatre Friday night. Saturday matinee and Saturday night there will be presented an elaborate pro- auction of D. Hope Leonard's spectacular oneretta, Alice in Wonderland.

 "The Climbers" Company.
 A special company in Clyde Fitchs new Comedy, "The Climbers" comes to the Montgomery Theatre next Friday night
 of 'The Climbers" little but praise has been heard for it's unconventionalities of nIot and treatment. The theme Is the so- rial climbing of a New York family whose efforts to be showily fashionable are attended by difficulties. MT. Fitch has done some of his best work in this field of dramatic fiction. but even he Is con- sidered to have surpassed himself in this brilliant play of social life.
 The part of Mrs. Sterling is the really worthy one among the daughters of a vain and ambitious mother, who is of humble origin but has succeeded in mar rving into the best element of society. The struggles of this widow, Mrs Hunt CT. and her youngest daughter, backed bv a coterie of their own, to obtain ad- mittance into a frivolous set of the 400 furnishes the satirical comic element of the play The figure of Blanche Sterling, the married daughter who in spite of a bitterly disappointing marriage succeeds in living a highmnded. noble life, forms a strikingly effective contrast. Her hus- hand is a moral coward who. becoming involved in Wall Street dealings. appro- rriates first the funds of the family which are entrusted to his care and then those of his clients. His wife makes heroic efforts to have him assisted by the friend oT the family. Edward Warden. Love
