ago DaUdy was To- be- remembered by the
members of his company with a sub
stantial gift at the close of the engage
ment. The presentation was to take place
on the stage in fun view OF the audience
after the performance Two days nm aa-
vance a member of the company, know
ing Dandy's weakness as a speechmdker,
quietly told him that the company would
urpeput him with q handsome watch and
it would be a good scheme to have some
imprOmptu remarks ready. For three
days Dandy labOred on his speech lie
wrote and reWrote il and then committed

thing about remembering the faces OF his
IrelnoS when ne looked at the lace or Lne
watch and the fact that it's hands would
recall the warm grasp or their hands and
a lot of stuff like that. The night Of the
presentation came and the. leading man
stepped forward as Dandy was leaving
the stage and told him that he had lit

surprised. The speaker made quite an
eloquent address. 10 which Dandy paid
attention, although all the while he was
running over the remarks about the
hands on the watch etc. that he would
make in return. Concluding his address

Critical opinion I'm New York seems 10
be almost unanimous in its approval Of
Clyde Fitch's latest play. Her own
Way which the most brilliant of our
native playwrights has written for Max
Inc Elliott. The piece. after a week IN
Buffalo, had its GotIdm premier last
Monday. and the reviewers of things ORA
ablest thing Mr.. Fitch has yet brought
forth There is one critic III is true VINO
scores il heavlly-William Winter Of the
New York Tribune-but his want Of sym
pathy with anything that is i'm anywise
modern in spirit or subject makes his at
titude easily explained. The New York
Times-and the other papers all write I'm
similar strain-says. 1T is unQuestlOnably
the most perfectly acted play seen i'm
Broadway i'm many a long year. Taken
all in all, il IS the most evenly excellent
of Mr.. Eltch's social comedy dramas and
lV bios lalr 20 be MS greatest success
After pointing out that the compiled
tons I'm the plot are of the sort which
IN real life seem 70 be more easily eX-
planned than on the stage. the paper de-
clares that this is "the only wea kness in
play that i'm all other respects Is on the
highest plane. both in the dramatic and
the literary sense The character draw
ing is especially praised and fl is de-
clared that I'm no other American play
has the comedy been more abundant and
authentic never have the deeper emo
tons been more unerTiugly OWNED or
more Tirllely rendered I'm the writing"
Miss Elliott seems 70 have surprised
even her most ardent admirers She dis

and the critic just quoted sums up his
comment or her by saying that last
night she showed herself capable of rank
ing with the foremost women of our
stage OF her personal attractiveness
there was, of course, no division of 0Din-
ion among critics or public The Times
relates that when Miss Elliott was haV-
ing her hair done up before the ball she
had a headache and her Bowerv hafr-
dresser exclaimed. There isn't a woman
who docs up her hair but would have a
, splitting headache day and night TO look
as you look now The sentiment called
forth a spontaneous burst of applause
those looks.
