END OF aTHE HENRIErrA.Y
Stuart Robson's viii Provides That
the Manuscript Be Destroyed

When Stuart Robson. appeared for
the last time in The Henrietta" at the
Grand opera house. New York. he re-
marked to some friends after the per-
formance that this was the last time
THE Henrietta" would ever be played.
So jealous was he at the thought that
any other actor should appear in his
role of BERTHE, that it is understood he
had provision in his will that all the
manuscripts connected with the play
should be destroyed immediately upon
his death. 1t was a favorite saying of
his that, next to his wife, 1.-The Hen
rietta" is the finest woman in the world.
One point upon which Robson was par
ticularly sensitive was his age. He was
such a complete master of makeup
that few who saw him in the role of
Bertie ever realized how cold he was.
J. H. Stoddart was talking with Rob-
son about 1.-THE Bonnie Briar Bush
shortly before he sailed for Nova
Scotia, and remarked that he would
use the same play next season by the
way" said Mr.. Robson. there is a
great opportunity in it for an old man
The part just fits you"
That's no way to talk" replied Mr..
Stoddart. I'm not so very Old
You are doing pretty well, though
why" said the actor, L had to ask
my mother to let me go to see one of
the first performances Of Joseph Jeffer-
son in Rip Van Wrinkle and I was
Just cutting my second teeth when you
put on The Henrietta That isn't 50

HALE HAMILTON IN DENVER
Is Manager of the Jane oaker Stock
Company.

From present indications it looks as
If Denver is to be the most fortunate
city IN the west as regards summer
amusements. says the Denver Post The
Jane Oaker Stock company which Man
ager McCourt has secured. will begin a,
season of twelve weeks early in June,
ana well known players whose names
have been linked with many of the most
successful ventures of the present sea-
son viii be in the organization. Mr.
Edwin Arden, who heads the list, is, per-
haps, the best leading stock actor of the
present day He is as firmly establish
to a class whose number is very limited,
but whose work has an irresistible
charm that can only be acquired
through innate refinement and a clear
knowledge of the dramatic art. The
ease and grace, which. are a part of this
actors work, together with his absolute
command of his art, are convincing and
always in evidence 1t may be remem-
bered that Mr.. Arden is at present a
member of the all-star cast of Romeo
and Juliet in Chicago.
Miss Oaker, who comes as leading
lady, commands high place among the
stock actresses Of today. Her numerous
enga genents in the east have won for
her a place excelled by few, and her
undoubted talent, together with her
beauty, should win for her a sure place
in the esteem of Denver theater patrons.
The other members of the company are
almost equally strong, the list includ-
ing names whose fitness for stock work
could hardly be excelled. Mr.. Charles
F'rohman, New York's leading dramatic
manager, said when looking over the
names that its success was assured. Mr..
Hale Hamilton, the organizer, states
that not only has the company been one
of the chief topics of conversation in
New York, but that also he has secured
an exceptionally good list Of plays,
which, when presented by this COM
pany, should prove most attractive. The
garden, which was q feature last sea
son, viii it is said, be even more beau
tiful this summer.
Miss Oaker off the stage is Mrs. Hale
Hamilton. Mr.. Hamilton is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. NJ. Hamilton.
