/ Will remember Mary Elizabeth Forbes
I the tall and willowy blonde maiden
who played the smaller parts. Her
girlish innocence and beauty. together
/ with her charming naivete, made her
universal favorite. Now she is &c
be theatrical star. AS leading lady
! in her own company she will make her
debut on September 10 at Santa Rosa
and will tour the West under the man
agement of Scott Seaton, the clever
actor who played with the Neilis Miss
Forbes is niece of Edythe Chapman
Mrs. NeiI. in real life-and is only a
year or so out of Elmira College. She
has been with the NeilI Company dur
ing that time and has improved great

| the play of that name. the part taken
SO ably by Edythe Chapman. MILFORD
Roger will be her leading man, and
Charles Astor Parker will direct the
presentation.
Neill will have an interest in four
companies next year: The Neill Com
pany which was in Honolulu, the Neill-
Frawley Company which will play in
Manila, stock company at Portland,
Or, and the company which Miss
Forbes will head. NELL has suffered a
good deal financially by his trouble
with the lodge of Elks at Spokane,
when he refused to receive the impact
of the stuffed club twice, and while he
asserts his rightful stand in the mat
ter. yet he feels that the affair was
most unfortunate for him. He has
since the Elks row joined the Wood

statements made by Neill that the Spo-

NELL. however, is firm in his argu-
ment, and hopes some day to have
matters thoroughly Strengthened out.

their appreciation of Warde's acting.
The Chronicle says in part:
Mr.. Warde has for many years been
the best Lanciotto. The part was one
of Barrett's greatest pieces of work.
and Mr.. Warde brings to the role the
virility and intensity it needs, with the
experience of half lifetime of study.
Ii is an impressive performance, con-
v:ncing on its stronger side, and on the
side of Laneiotto's love for Paolo not
lacking in tenderness and pathos.
Judith Berolde is a striking figure in
Francesca. She has been associated in
our minds with more heavy dramatic
work, but she has the poetry and the
