Corbett and Terry
Famous Lightweight Rivals
Are Training Hard
For Bout

Pugilistic sharps are on the anxious
seat regarding the Young Corbett- Nc
Govern fight. The antagonistic atti-
tude of Governor Bliss of Michigan to-
ward the little fighters makes 1t highly
probable that the Detroit authorities
will not permit the bout to be decided.
Billy Considine, who arranged the
match, however. believes that the pres
ent cloud has silver lining and that
influential friends of his will succeed
in heading off the opposition.
The fight is scheduled for the middle
of January, and the lads are going on
with their preparations just as if there
was no uncertainty concerning it.
Both the clever lightweights have
settled down to hard work for their
ten round battle While the disap-
pointment Is keen that these little boys
should not have it out as originally in
tended for twenty rounds. many sports
are of the opinion that there will be
more fighting In the ten rounds at De
troit than in a ma jority of the encoun-
tiers of a longer duration.
Both pugilists are now in Cincinnati
at their old training quarters, Corbett
at Price Hill and McGovern at Nor
wood inn. The champion works under
the immediate supervision of Harry
Tuthill, with Willie Fitzgerald and
Willie Lewis as sparring partners.
Lewis is n find" of Tuthilrs. and the
latter predicts n great future for the
kid. McGovern is handled by Charlie
MayhOod, as before, and has as aids
his brother Hughey and Eddie Cain.
1t is to be hoped that the state and
municipal authorities will not put a
stop to the coming match. After the
many disappOintments of the boys

dip. 1t is possible, however, that Miss
Rehan is herself again and that her
coming stellar venture in a new play,
especially written for her by Haddon
Chambers, will prove an enormous sue
cess. Let us hope so, at any rate.
Julia MarIOvve and 1'The Cavalier"
Despite the fact that no one appears
to care very much for the new Paul
Kester dramatization of George w.
Cables novel, The Cavalier" in which
Julia Marlowe is at present starring at
the Criterion theater in this city, she is
attracting numerous audiences. This,
too, although Miss Marlowe's best eff
forts are largely wasted upon the me-
dunn selected for their exploitation.
The illustration accompanying this ar
ticle is from Miss Marlowe's latest
photograph in the principal female role
of 1.-THE Cavalier"
You may hear almost any sort of ru-
NOR for which you care along the Rial
to these days, and the latest is to the
effect that Miss Marlowe's tour in Ell
ametta" was brought to q sudden end
not because of the illness of the star,
due to the extraordinary demands
made upon her powers by the leading
role. but because the business was
poor. OF course it is rather an anomaly
to hear of a star complaining Of the
strength of the character assigned to
her, but it is little short of absurd to
say that Miss Marlowes business was
poor.
1t is possible for popular star who
has long been identified with n single
role or even with Il single line of work
to find that the public will not accept
him in a new piece. This has been to a
great extent the experience of James
O'Neill, though in his new venture,
1.-THE Manxman," the protagonal role of
which ought to fit him like glove, the
result should be more satisfactory.
But with Miss Marlowe the case is
different. She has played every sort of
character within the last decade and
has never been identified for any length
of time with a special line of work.
The public rather expects to see her in
new each year, and her art
is of such a quality that even If Fla
meta" had been the greatest frost"
ever known Miss AIarlowe could have
continued in 1t indefinitely to profita
Bile business unless some more potent
influence than the box office had
prompted its abandonment.

set work was most natural and pleas
ing innovation. OF course the hero is
not shot. The news comes of the decla-
ration of peace, and all ends happily.
When L can, 1 usually tell the story of
the play, but in this instance it is be-
yond me. There is none.
Ada Rehan's Tour.
Ada Rehan is to make another ven
ture as a star. There was a time when
that announcement would have brought
to her managers flood of kilograms
and deluge of letters asking for time
for the woman who was once the most
popular actress in America. But, alas,
for the fickleness of the theater going
public, that time has passed, and the
announcement now scarcely creates q
furry beyond a mild species of specu-
laion as to whether or not the tour
will pay. Think of it! Casting a
doubt upon the probable success of an
Ada Rehan tour!
1t was currently reported few years
ago, and generally credited, that Miss
Rehan was offered salary of $4,000
a year as a star. The firm whose name
rumor associated with the offer was
thoroughly responsible too This is
mentioned to show that even though
the rumOr was not based upon fact the
salary mentioned. large as it was, was
not large enough to inspire doubt in
the minds of persons familiar WITH the
affairs of the theater at that time
Miss Rehan appeared to lose her grip
upon the public when Augustin Daily
died. There is no doubt that he did
much for her; that she often received
consideration in the matter of the
choice of roles which was for the best
interest neither of the play nor her
self. Mr.. DAILY doubtless also was large
ly instrumental in developing the art
of the woman who was raw begin
ner when he undertook her manage
ment, but it is absurd TO assume that
he could have done all this unless there
was at bottom real ability.
Yet the fact remains that she has
never been the same since Days
death. Her i'll starred venture of a few
years ago in Sweet Nell of Old Drl-
~" will not soon be forgotten. Her
work in that piece was not worthy of
Ada Rehan. Beside it that of Hen
rietta Crosman in mistress Nell'
