ESTIMATE OF MISS REHAN.
What William Winter Thought of
the Famous Actress.

In view of the announcement oS Miss
Rehans return to the stage next season
in a series of classic revivals. the reader
may be interested in some detached eSti-
mates of her work by William Winter,
a man to whom the record of Miss Re
hans achievements was as a chapter of
the law and the prophets.
In the records that remain of the
famous women of the stage there is but
little that interprets, and there is Moth
ing that perpetuates their charm.
When all has been told that words
can tell of those delicious combinations
of genius and beauty there is still some
thing which remains untold.
What words can transmit to posterity
the smile of Ellen Terry or the voice of
Ada Rehan?
The pictorial art has done much for
actOrs-m0re than could be done for
them by the art Of writing. The best
understood and most admired actor of
the past is David Garricz, and that is
mainly because many portraits were
made Of him Portraits of Ada Rehan
told in words, for they would take Il
wide range, and therein they would de-
note the versatility which is one of her
prominent characteristics.
She has assumed at least a hundred
and fifty characters since she went upon
the stage.
Miss Rehan has that temperament of
tremulous sensibility that Oscillates be
tween smiles and tears.
Ada Rehan has. from the first been
exceptional for intense earnestness and
self devotion.
Her mental attitude is that of a mind
that thinks for itself
Miss Rehan is not tragic actress. but
she has more power, because deeper
feeling, than many serious players Of the
day.
The time is blessed beyond its knowI-
edge of its own welfare that is favored
with such an actress as Ada Rehan.
In his three volumes of dramatic COM
ment and history Shadows of the
Stage Mr. Winter has several essays
on various aspects of Miss Rehan's art,
and from them the foregoing sentences
were taken.

Later It Was Discovered That There
Was No Boy.


"One day last summer" said Farmer
Bill Bits TO a group of ottawa friends.
Il was over at the burg and a friend
of mine brought a couple of strangers
to me and said they were looking for
work One YVES a man about %. the
other slight boy. I didn't need any
help just then, but would later on, and
told them that if they wanted to go out
to the ranch. I'd fed them, and when
the time came. in a week or so, would
put them on the pay roll. They agreed.

my crop was ready. Then said 1 I don't

The natives of Tibet are quiet, good sort Of
fellows. but their government, since the TWO
invasions by the Sikhs and NepaliS. has had
fixed prejudice against any travellers getting far
into their country, fearing that they may be in
yaded and annexed; but their principal fear is
tnat their sacred places may be deSeCrated. The

Church, and, while he keeps the innocent school
masters affair sufficiently in the foreground,
proving in his account Of the steps which lead
to his rehabilitation. that truth must inevitably
prevail over the powers of darkness, as it pre-
vailed in the Dreyfus case. he makes US feel that
he is on the whole chiefly concerned with the
castigation of the cIericals and all their works
The result is a heavy, i'll tempered and appaIl-
ingly dull book, with figures in it that are mere
puppets, the stalking horses for the authors
ideas The narrative is cIumsily put together,
and where the authors use of the Dreyfus case
should have enabled him to give a dramatic
thrill to his pages, he has been content with the
cheapest theatrical devices The episode OF the

with open arms, and installed in house built
for him by them in atonement for their lnJus-
tfce is worthy of the crUdest melodrama. Char

grossest bad taste. The crime OF which the
schooImaster is falsely accused is just the crime

whatever to the authors reputation; It is Weari-

In his new volume Of short stories Mr. James
is at his best and at his worst He has found
his subjects where he has found them before, in
the backwaters of life, where very queer people

Scotland IS naturally proud of Robert Burns
whose birthday ii celebrated a few days ago.
Il has not as yet, l think, claimed that Burns
was as great a man Shakespeare, but
James Dewar, Of Belfast, sends me a claim Tor
Burns that has interest Of its own. 1t Is
that more people pay an annual visit 10 the
places associated with Burns than pay an an
nuaI visit to the places associated with Shake

supplies. They are for one year:
