the west from the conquest of stage
land-frOn the success the world loves
as the Englishman loves lord-from
international fame in New York and
Lond0n-a star. Such in brief is the
career Of Miss Maude Fealy, the young
est juliet and the strangest stage favor
lite in histrionic history. She is to play
an engagement at the Grand opera
house in Denver as 'Babbie" in The
Little Minister" to be followed by 1.-The
Two Orphans" Romeo and Juliet"
and possibly "ShylOclz' and several 9TH
err classic and standard plays, with E.
j. Morgan, who was seen in Topeka in
The Christian" as leading man, just
to show her versatility. Then she goes
to San Francisco to play the same roles.
This rather extraordinary girl has
been acting since she was a little tot of
three years old. but her real success,
strange as it may. seem, has been built
on hers uperstitiOus faith in the prophetic
belief in the palmistry analysis Of her
hand by DR.. McIvOr-Tyndall.
The analysis was indeed hattering. but
it played absolutely no part whatever

THE aCYRANo0 CONTROVERSY.
Who Invented Love Making by Proxy
in Dispute.

Did Edmond Rostand steal ideas for
his "Cyrano de Bergerac" from Samuel
Eberley Gross's 1.-THE Merchant of Corne-
ville"? One author is a famous French
poet and the other a Chicago lumber
man. One drama is a masterpiece that
has been acted in many languages the
world over, and the other a crude com
position which no manager has yet been
Mr.. Gross went to the Porte ST Martin
in Paris In 1896 and left a print of his
play in English with Constant Coquelin,
who was then managing that theater.
Mr.. Rostand's play was produced there
in 1897 by Mr.. Coquelin, for whom it had
been written. In each play the heroine
has a lover whom she would gladly mar
~, but he is too diffdent to WOO her, and
when he goes to her garden as a sere-
nader he hides under her balcony and
pleads his suit by the proxy of a GLIB
and initiative companion. In each case
the deceived girl has been matched by an
Obdurate guardian to marry a man she
dislikess but she encourages the forbid
den sutton, is aided by her maid and
eventually becomes his wife Mr. Gross
brought an action in Chicago to enjoin
Richard Mansfield against using the Ros-
tand piece and Judge Kohlsaat of the
supreme court of Illinois has made an
order to that effect This makes the case
lock like one Of outright plagiarism.
But there is another side. Mr.. Mans
Aeid IS involved IN controversy with
Mr.. Rostand over 'Cyrano de Bergerac."
The actor contracted to pay a royalty
to the author for its use in this country,
and he did so for awhile, but ceased when
owing to the fact that it had not been
internationally copyrighted, Augustin
DAILY and other managers were able to
appropriate it. Now that Mr.. Mansfield
no longer utilities it, he is a gamer by
Judge, Kohlsaat's order, to which he as
scented as the defendant in the action
brought by Mr. Cross. So the Judge did
not pass upon the merits of the charge of
plagiarism or consider the evidence con
corning it. Mr. Mansfield is quoted in a
published interview saying that, in
his opinion, the resem blance between the
two compositions is wholly accidental. as
1t is confined to one scene, and affects
only small portion of the story More
over, Mr. Coquelin and Mr.. Rostand have
declared under oath that the author gave
the role of Cyrano to the actor in 1885
apd that the completed drama was de
livered several months before Mr.. Gross
left at the Porte St. Martin a copy of
The Merchant of Cornevile" a perusal
of which each denies having made. While
it is a bare possibility that the French
men are perjurers, and that they stole the
wooing-by-proxy episode from the Chicago
man to interpolate in the piece they were
preparing to produce, no such thing is
probable The resemblance is no doubt
