For instance, a couple of years ago it was announced that when Mrs. Fiske should have secured her own theater she would in due course give at least two Shakespearean plays-'M Macbeth and Twelfth Night" Last season when Mrs Fiske through the enterprise of her husband, Harrison Grey Ffske, came into possession of the Manhattan theater in this city and did not make tions the interests opposed to independ- ent effort in the drama lost no opportu- nifty to point out that Americas great est actress was very much like other weak mortals. In short, that her an- nouncements, like those proceeding from these same interests, were made merely for their effect upon the public.

Therefore was it that they were surprised a short time ago when it was definitely stated that Mrs. Fiske will continue through oat the present season in Mary of
