delicate hand he has shown the foib!es

scientious, artistic. and praiseworthy
work.
Among the latter few Myron Lcfflng-
we'll, Of the Edwin Arden company, at
the Columbia, occupies conspicuous
place Mr. LetIlngwell is well known
but his long residence has given him
wide circle OF friends who have
watched his career from his professional
debut up to the present time.
Mr., LelIingweil counts back twenty
three years to his first appearance, which
was made as member of the company
supporting Adelaide Nelson. When one
has had such an extended career. and
one fraught with so many varied expert
ences. resume always proves interest
ing. Mr.. LefIlngwcll has played in al
most every variety of theatrical enter
;ainment from the lightest, frothiest
farce comedy through melodrama to the
highest form of Shakesperean produc-
tions. In mis- time he has, indeed, played
many parts and has sixty-four Shakes
perean roles alone 20 his credit.
During the intervals of acting Mr.
Leffingwell has found time to contribute
in no small degree 20 the literature of
the stage. Fourteen of his plays have
a neat sum in royalties in addition to
placing him among the successful dram
atists of the country
The Dawn of Freedom play deal
ing with the conditions in Cuba during
the Spanish-American war, will be re-
membered here. having been produced
by capable company. headed by Paul
Gilmore. A dainty farce, THE Summer
Girl" The Crossroads of Life" a melo-
drama, and From the East to the
West" are tribute to Mr.. Lefhngwell's
versatility in play writing. The latter
piece will be used next season by Katie
Emmett.
Mr.. Letfingwell has had wide expe-
rience as a stage director and will
shortly make a bid for approval in the
field OF literature, as he is at work on
novel which should prove an enter
tanning story. 1t will be a romance of
village life, many of the studies being
drawn from life and many characters
tics Of existence in little hamlet being
realistically outlined. Mr. Lefiingwell
is also engaged in putting the finishing
touches to romantic play which will
be given an elaborate production next
season.
In his active stage work Mr.. Letting
well has been eminently successful.
Washingtonians have become particular
ly interested In him through his afilia-
tion with local stock companies. and
many of his portrayals. particularly
those of character roles. have con-
tributed much to the plays success Mr..
Leffingwell has not formulated his plans
for next season, but has several tempt
ing offers from which to decide his next
years work.

Old Plays for New Stars.

Next season will see number OF new
stars in plays that have been made popu-
lar by prominent stars during the past
year or two
The most important OF the lot is Miss
Percy Haswell. formerly the leading
lady OF the Lafayette Square stock COM
pany. who will be starred by Henry B.
Harris in "A Royal Family" which
proved such delightful entertainments
when presented at the National Theater
two years ago by Annie Russell
Then James X. Hackett has decided to
branch out as \ manager. and will star
Isabel Irving in THE Crisis" in which
Mr.. Hackett appeared during the latter
part Of the season Just ended. THE
Crisis" proved quite successful in a num-
ber of cities In which It was given. and
Mr.. Hackett will continue TO use IL 4
part of next season. anyway The star
ring venture of Miss Irving was brought
about by the discovery that the chief
feminine role in the dramatization OF
the novel almost completely overshad-
owed Mr.. Hackott's part.
Paul Gilmore, young actor who has
been in Washington on a number of oc-
casions, will use THE Tyranny of
Tears" one of John Drew's earlier sue
cesses. and Thomas Ross will take VIII
lie Golfers part in Martha Morton's

Miss Cahill is a graduate of the chorus
Many-but not so very many--years ago
/ she was a member of one of the mum
erouI burlesque companies under the
direction OF E. E. Rice. Perhaps it was
"Eyangeline.' or Excelsior, jr," or one
OF the more recent mixtures OF comedy
and music
However. 1t was not until three sea-
sons ago that she became a prominent
! figure in the theatrical world. 1t was
while she was a member OF the Fifth
Avenue Musical Comedy Company, pre-
senting Three Little Lambs" when she
and Raymond Hitchcock, at present the
main support of the King Dodo" COM
pany, gave very delightful and clever
burlesque OF Mrs Fiske's Becky Sharp. y
Miss Cahlll was particularly successful
in the affair. and her impersonation Of
Mrs. Fiske's many little peculiarities
was remarkably good
a year later Miss Cahill came to
Washington with THE Star and Carter -
the comedy in which Frank Mckee in
troduced the August family OF jugglers
In this Miss Cahill, Otis Harlan and
Joseph Coyne gave a burlesque on
David Harum." in which Miss Cahill
impersonated the Widow Cullom In
this her efforts were even more success
full than IL the Three Little Lambs =
and the bit, introduced in the second
act. was the single redeeming feature OF
an otherwise stupid performance.
Last season Miss Cahill came to Wash
ington with "The Chaperons" and her
singing of Millinery Mary" was one OF
the best things of the show.
When George Lederer produced "The
Wild Rose a few weeks ago. Miss Irene
Bentley was presumably the leading
lady of the company. She was favored
with all the good lines She it was who
stood in the center of the stage while
the l;melight cleaned, and she was
featured N the advertisements of the
piece.
Miss Cahll asked permission to in
troduce song that she had used some
years ago. Nancy Brown" She had not
beer supplied with any musical numbers
OF merit and the request was readily
granted.
The result was that Miss Cahill ran
eway with the hcnors of THE Wild
Rose" and Miss Bentley has ever since
been endeavoring to catch up.
When Marie Cahill comes to town as
Il star. there Will be at least one per-
,ormance in the city we'll worth attend

End of Chase's Opera Season.

The supplementary comic opera sea-
son at Chase's will be brought to a
close this week with a production of
THE Nikado.' employing undoubtedly
the best cast OF principals available at
the present time.
In the opera will be william Brod-
erick, Nicholas Burnham. Grafton eak-
er, Fred Frear. William Schuster. Albert
Wilder, Anna LIGHTER, Norma Kopp,
Hattie Arnold. and May F. Lutz.
Mr.. Chase believes the success attend
ing the presentation OF THE Bohemian
Girl" last week is indicative OF even
greater favor for "The Mikado,' I'M
doubtedly the most familiar and popu-
lar OF the modern light operas, as it
represents the best handiwork of Gil
bert and Sullivan. The cast engaged FOR
the production should make the forth
coming "Mikado" almost new creation.
William Broderick is expected TO give an
artistic and original portrayal OF the
lofty Pooh Bah. Nicholas Burnham is
noted as the originator OF the role OF
the Mikado in the first American pro-
duc:ion. Grafton Baker will be cast as
Narki Pooh. William Schuster Will be
Pish Tush, and Fred Frcar viii do Ko
Ko.
Anna LIGHTER will be Yum Yum, and
Norma Kopp will be candidate for
additional admiration as Pltti Sing. Hat
tic Arnold should make a picturesque
Katisha. and May Lutz dainty Peep
Bo.
There will be three natinccs. Mon

The Washington times., 1902-07-06

May Irwin is generally credited with
being one OF the wealthiest women on
the stage. and it is interesting to note
how this condition came about.
Miss Irwin herself ascribes il to hard
work and horse sense" She has been
on the stage ever since she was a child.
and has worked continuously and con-
scientiously all the time. She also
saws that she has never been extrava-
CANT and always managed to save some
thing from her earnings. When she re-
ceived a small salary she lived within
her means. and did not go to the most
expensive hotels, as most Thespians do.
She does not care particularly for fine
clothes. and would not walk across the
street for the finest piece of jewelry in
the world,
Since she became a star. her income
has been large, and she has invested her
savings to good advantage in real es-
tate and other ventures, and has been
successful in all her dealings. She is
a thorough business woman, decides
quickly on all matters OF Importance,
and oversees every part of her business
affairs personally.
Miss Irwin ascribes much of her sue
cess ON the stage to two men. Tcny
Pastor and Augustin Daily. She says
she learned from Mr.. Pastor, while un-
der his management, how TO sing comic
songs so as to get the best results from
them. but from Mr.. Daily she learned
the value of discipline and stage man
agement.
Mr. Pastor. she says, was easy-going
and would let her do Just about as she
pleased. but she found Mr.. Daily entire
ly different. She learned while with
Mr.. DAILY the true inwardness of atten-
tion to details, and the way TO read
lines so as to get the most out of them
There is scarcely any doubt that some
The Washington times., 1902-07-06

have the benefit of the entire produc-
tion used by Miss Bates.
'2aza" will be played by Eugene
Blair, Washington actress, who is a
present at the head of her own stock
company In Cleveland for the summer
Miss Blair met with a good deal of sue
cess when she toured the country l.
Mrs. Burnett's "A Lady Of Quality
after Julia Arthur had no further use
for the play, and hopes to duplicate this
success in "zaza.''
Fred Frear who has been seen in most
OF the comic opera productions at
Chase's this summer, will be at the head
of company that will be sent out in
Foxy Quiller." and Caroline Huestis
Graves will try and create some degree
of popular interest in the musical COM
edy Nam selle 'Awkins." which very
persistently refuses to be sent to the
storage warehouse. and bobs up every
once in while.
Much ado is being made over Eliza
beth Kennedy. a hitherto unimportaat
actress who will be starred in Captain
Jinks of the Horse Marines, in which
Ethel Barrymore was seen here few
months ago
Miss Kennedy's husband is theatri-
cal manager, and he has associated with
him A. Toxin Worm, who is responsible
for the lurid press agent stories print
cd about Mrs. Patrick Campbell when
the English woman was in this country.
Mr.. Worm named Pinkie Panky Po
Campbell's little bow-wow, and had
several loads of tan bark dumped in
front of the theater in which the ac-
tress was playing. SO that her nerves
might not be disturbed by the racket of
passing vehicles. Then, too, Mr.. Worm
made Mrs. Campbell win some few
thousands of dollars at bridge whist.
He is now inaugurating a series Of
very remarkable press agent achieve
ments for Miss Kennedy and If she
shows a talent for acting at all pro-
portionate with the work of Mr.. Worm
her success Is assured.

Miss Bob White" in Storage.

Nixon e Zimmerman and Willard
Spencer are having a good deal OF
trouble over Miss Bob White.' which
Mr. Spencer wrote last year and which
was sent on a tour under the manage
ment of Nixor & Zimmerman.
The cause OF The difficulty is due to
the fact that the management took the
advice of divers writer's on theatrical
affairs who discovered the painfully an
rarent fact that Mr.. Spencer's product
was about as inane thing as has
ever come over the Philadelphia pike.
Messrs. Nixon Zimmerman de-
lermined to heed the well meant critical
advice and called in the services of a
play tinker, who threw away good por-
ton OF Mr.. Spencer's dialogue and sub
stituted lines that proved more produc-
tive of laughs.
The result was that Immediately af-
ter the elimination OF Mr.. Spencer
and Miss Bob White" promised to be-
come a money-maker for its projectors.
Just at this moment Mr.. Spencer
stepped In with a very vigorous objec-
tion that his brain labor should be so
rudely made TO take a back seat. Now
Mr.. Spencer goes further, and says II
his original lines are not restored lie
will not permit Miss Bob White 10 be
sent out next season. while Nixon and
Zimmerman say that II Mr.. Spencer
,arsie,s In b{c Doei,ion tho pieca Will
be sent to storage.
In either case the public seems sure
TO be the winner
