Fortune comes late to some who
never strike their real vein of luck
until by accident after long search.
Miss Helen Lowell, who is to play the
role of that little old maid, Mis- Hazy,
in the production of Mrs. Wiggs of
the the Cabbage Patch" at the Hi
nois tonight, is striking example of
how a player may not hit upon his,
or her, particular forte until after a
prolonged stage career. Not that
Miss Lowell has not had noteworthy
stage career, for she has had many
successes, and in the role of Dear
est in Little Lord Fauntleroy," be-
anne particularly distinguished and
was kept playing it for Il number of
seasons. She made her footlight de-
out at the age of three, and has been
everything from Il juvenile actress
and humber member of the chorus,
up to the prima donna in comic opera
and character Coincidence. Nor is she
ashamed of her chorus career but it
was not until two seasons ago that
she really struck her tune and unique
pitch in the part of Sister Susan in
Quality Street" AS the fussy. fidget
ty. but kind hearted old spinster. she
scored decided hit, indeed, second
only to Maude Adams herself; and yet
that was her first attempt at such a
racterization. As Mis- HAY she
has also kindred spinster role, but
decidedly in many re-
spects, as Mis- HAY is a shiftless,
meek and worrying little body. Her
lebut in the role here will be awaited
with quite little curiosity.

to be the attraction at the Illinois to-
morrow: Seldom. if ever. has there
been a better thing in the way of a
drama at the Grand than Buried at
Sea- that was seen for the first time
last night 1t is good from every
standpoint. In the first place it is a
handsome play. with Il plot that furn-
ishes opportunity for good acting. The
climaXes are strong; the tone of the
piece is good and the appeal from
first to last is made to the best side
of human nature. In the second
place Buried at Sea- is splendidly
staged. The costumes are bright and
new; the scenery is appropriate and
there is enough realism, not to say
sensationalism to keep the audience
on tiptoe of expectation throughout
the evening. In the third place, the
play is in thoroughly capable hands.
Oral Humphrey as Walter Allen, is a
star and is followed closely by Ray
mond ID. Aldrich. as Lord Archibald
Spencer. Another member of the
company who made a hit with the
audience last evening is Mrs. Louis
Belmour. as Mrs. Krummbaach. Every
member is deserving of praise. Moth

One CT the events of the theatrical
season will be the appearance of
"Under Southern Skies" at the Iii
nois Sunday. So great has been the
success of this beautiful play through
out the east that two entire seasons
have been played there, many cities
being revisited three and four times.
The play is in the authors most de-
lightful vein, and when it is remem-
bered that Mrs. Parker. who wrote
Under Southern Skies. also wrote
Way Down East much may be ex-
pected of this, her last drama. Under
Southern Skies is full of life, light
and gayety, and fills the audience with
the spirit of youth and romance. The
great beauty of the scenic settings,
the dainty cOstuming, the many anus
ing and diverting characters and incl
dents, the absorbing love story, and
the Halloween celebration and pump
kin dance, all go to make Under
Southern Skies" one of the most de-
lightful and satisfying entertainments
now before the public. Under
Southern Skies" has appeared to the
most fashionable and critical audi
ences of the east and will no doubt
draw out all the lovers of good drama
in our city. The company is very

That prime favorite with playgOers,
"M'liss," will be seen at the Illinois
soon. There are many interesting
characters in ''M'liss" aside from the
title role and there is an abundance of
stirring episodes and dramatic mo-
ments in this sterling drama of the
Sierras. Who that has ever witnessed
a performance CT this charming play
will never forget Yuba Bill, the big
hearted. mselfish and brave stage

says the hayward flower of the noun
tainS, and she but echoes the senti-
ment of the entire camp, for the
scenes of the play are laid in one of
the mining camps way up in the
Sierra Nevada mountains in the early
DAYS when California was overrun
with adventurous spirits from all
parts of the world, seeking for the
golden wealth which exists in her
mountains 1t was Bret Harte who
has idolized these scenes, and it is
from one of his best tales that the
play has been taken. Miss" is not
new play; it has already made the
fortune of at least one actress, and
was at the time of its production ac-
counted one of the strongest native
American plays that had been pro-
duced. This season it has been given
a very handsome revival. The com
peny is headed by Nellie McHenry and
is said to number some of the best
people in the profession.
