There are bargains and finds to be
made in tho plant world equal to any
picked up in old curiosity shops. Some
time ago a Glasgow gentleman re-
ceiyed from his son in Egypt an en-
yelope full of peas. which were said
to have been found in the tomb of one
ns the Pharaohs. He sent them to
friend Of his at Kames, in the Isle OF
Butte, who sowed them. They grew
up into plants quite unlike anything
known at present, strong and about
six feet high, with great white flow
er having red center. The pods
were long and full of excellent peas.
This new old variety found a ready
sale at good prices.

headed by Eva Tanguay, who as Phrosia,
the girl detective, made a great hit last
season by her vim, animation and clever
comedy work. May Boley, pretty, clever
singer, for some time with the Alice

and charming. Genevieve Day, who was

Jessica Duncan, a handsome brunette
who was also with the Nielsen Opera
company, appears as Hortense, a Partisan
prima donna, and Mae Stebbins, the very

/ Mary Shaw, the star in Ibsen's widely:
discussed play Ghosts is not only a.
great actress but a woman Of great IN
telligence While the New York neWspa :
pers were devoting columns to the dts
cussion of Ghosts" in its recent long
run in the metropolis, Miss Shaw was
asked to give her opinion. Her remarks
regarding the deep moral motives In lb-
sens play are remarkably interesting.
She said among other things:
Every cultivated man and woman has
| an opinion Of tGhosts-favoTable or other
wise It's one Of those things that you
| can't help having an opinion about, il you
4 have ever seen or read it. The point at
issue thus far is whether or not Ibsen has
told truths which should be suppressed.
Even at their worst the critics have never
/ dared to say that he did not tell the
1 truth. He has torn the mask from hy-
pocrisy, he has flung down the veil, and
tlo, there stands naked truth Cringing,
modest humanity raises its hands in holy
1horror because the naked truth stands re-
yealed, not the thing Of beauty one hoped
/ to see, but horrible, distorted Hyde
& which reflects perfectly the immutab1e
4 course Of human events. Il don't mean to
4 preach, but believe Ibsen has done more
4 to reform the world than any dramatist
has ever done before, because he has
i shown the world what a sordtd,s narrow
4 minded, pinch beck little world 1t is. He
4 is one Of the few who has dared to SPEAK
4 the truth. Believing in telling what Is
4 as it lis he will force attention however
reluctantly. to- affairs as they are, and
thereby effect change.
s Gle has written such fearful truths 81
accurately that the censor In Londol
The Minneapolis journal., 1903-04-11

would not permit q public presentation of
'Ghosts'--those who undertook to give
it had to make it an invitation affair-it
was so dreadfully accurate. Indeed, when
the play was first presented in Baltimore,
thousands who had never seen it, hum.
reds who had never read 1t, and scores
who had never heard Of it grew intensely
excited and protested. Still, when the
play was produced it was what Is known
theatrically as a hit Now that play
which is the greatest success is always the
play which most accurately reflects hu-
manity as it is. That is one charming
failing of the human race. Those who
have seen Ghosts have been properly
horror r-stricken--indeed that was Ibsen's
purpose; but the horror has been at life
rather than at Ibsen's drama, It has
been healthy horror, If there is such a
thing, the kind of horror that makes the
thoughtful man or woman hesitate and
wonder whether he has ever fully COM
pretended the weakness of human nature.
And because Ibsen has dared to do all
this. he has been denounced bitterIy-even
because have dared to associate myself
with Ghosts in an artistic way.
