THERESA VAUGHN INSANE.
Sister of the Famous Otis in Wor-
cester Asylum.

A pathetic story of the sad condition
of Theresa Vaughn, former stage favor
lite, comes from within the gloomy
walls of the Worcester insane asylum
where she is confined in the ward called
lower Jo," which. is exclusively for the
violent and incurable inmates.
The patient. it is said. is fast failing,
and as each succeeding period of vio-
Ience exhausts her mind more, it is
thought the end of her sufferings is not
far distant. She was committed to the
asylum on April Is of last year, upon
application of her mother, Mrs. OFT of
Chelsea, with whom she had been liv
ing for over a year previously, having
been forced to retire from the stage
because of rapidly failing memory. Miss
Vaughn. who was known off the stage
as Mrs Theresa Haupt, is one of the
famous OFT family her brothers includ-
ing "Phil' and Matt OFT and the late
Joe" OFT, of Star Gazer" fame.

Until the burning of the Metropolitan
opera house in 1892 Nine. Nordica 1e-
turned each winter to sing in the prin-
cipal cities of this country, verifying
more positively with each Homecoming
the brilliant predictions that had been
made of her.
The winter of 1s9s-'94 Nine Nordica
again returned as first dramatic so
prana with the most distinguished COM
pany that Mr.. Abbey was able to secure
in Europe. She was invited to create
the role of Elsa in "Lohengrin" at
Bayreuth in 1894. The vocal beauty or
her portrayal of the part was revela-
ton to German audiences, and her au-
thority on the dramatic stage unassa1l-
able. Two years later she gave the first
authoritative performance of the role
of Elsa in the Grand opera house in
Paris. She returned to America for
the season of the Metropolitan and
went from thence to London, and after
the conclusion of her London engage
ments of 1895 Nine. Nordica went to

The book is a thorough study of the
history of the odd members of the horse
family, such as dwarf-horses or ponies,
asses, burros, bronchos and mules. 1t
details the origin of these queer speci-
mems of the genus equinus together
with their gradual domestication in diff
ferent parts of the world, and it points
out the influence these animals have eX-
erted upon civilization and the prom
inent parts they have played in num-
erous incidents of history. The book
will be the first one to cover this sub
ject thoroughly and will doubtless prove
valuable as a work of reference. 1t will

Since "Manru was first performed at
Dresden, on May 20 of last year, it has
been the custom to attribute the rela-
tive lack of enthusiasm for it there and
subsequently, in other German cities to
the shortcomings of the text. The book,
drawn by Alfred Nossig, a Polish sculp-
tor, from Polish romance, will not for
a moment bear comparison with the
hbretti of contemporary French and
italian operas. 1t is altogether without
literary distinction or poetic flavor

still, DR.. NosSig lacks the essential in

PADEREwsKrs NEW OPERA.
':Manru" Produced in New York For
the First Time.

Except verdi's "Falstaff.'' eight years
ago. no new opera that has been sung
al the Metropolitan opera house. New
York under its present dispensation so
quickened public interest as has Mr.
Paderewskis Manu-" says the Boston
Transcript. With "Falstan' it was a
fine interest in the piece itself and in
Mr.. Maurers representation of the hero.
With ''Manru'' it has been a coarser
curiosity to taste the work in a new
field of the best-esteemed v1rtuoso that
comes among US. Those that begged
and intrigued for invitations to the
dress rehearsal last Wednesday, as
though it had been state performance
and the audience that filled the theater
were minded to hear Mr.. Paderewski's
opera because Mr.. Paderewski wrote it.
''Manru," for its own sake. counted for
little with them, and less still the sing
ing actors who have toiled at rehearsals
that in number and zeal matched those
of the German days at the Metropolitan.
The listeners had their applause for Mr..

ANOTHER PLAY ON GOWNS.
Alan Dale Says the Frocks Are Good
But LADY Margaret" Is Not.

Not again. After that awful day 1
spent spluttering through Butterick's
and the Delineator in order to do me
dooty as a critic of the Drummer, when
Days theatcr opened its display of mill
linery, 1 don't feel equal to it again.
Miss Amelia Bingham, at the Bijou, calls
her job lot of swagger frocks Lady
Margaret a title that always makes
deft appeal to Srah Jane, says Alan
Dale in the New York Journal.
But Miss Bingham may face the world
proudly in the blessed certainty that she
has secured a crate of gowns" just as
fine as those that simmer at Days;
also that in Lady Margaret she has
speared a play just as bad-not any
worse. for that wouldn't be possible.
In fact, Sydney Grundy, who was the
safety-pin in the case of 'Frocks and
Frills," and Edward E. Rose (Gloire
d'Angleterre), who was the hook-and-
eye to Lady Margaret" can snap their
deft adaptatorial fingers defiantly, and
lay claim to having fathered two of the
proSieSt, stupidest most plotleSs, most
symphonies and most backbonelesS af-
fairs that New York has ever taken I'M
der it's wing.
Miss Bingham had the honor to come
last. We knew now that it is all over.
Proud actresses with dresses to burn
can surely turn to some other oppOrtun-
ity to wear them. Even Mrs Pat Camp
bell-whose clothes, by the bye, make
Spong-at-Daly'S and Bingham at-tlle-
Bijou look like thirty cents-doesnt
have to turn her stage into millinery
esta blishment in order to wear them.
Mrs. Pat is not quite so crude.
Her excuse for clothes is the tainted
lady, who is surely more plausible than
a dressmaker's shop.
In Lady Margaret" they all wear
their clothes very well indeed, and the
gowns seem to come from the most pop
ular metropolises Cor is it metropoies?)
of the world. Miss Bingham also tells
us in her programme where she buys
her shoes, and she differentiates nicely
between gowns and costumes. She also
differentiates between gowns and other

herself as star, wore the gowns. and
that the supporting company harked
themselves into the ''other gowns" The
