KATHRYN KrDDER SATURDAY
EVENING.

A small but select company. headed by
the charming actress, Kathryn kidder
was seen at the Howard Saturday even
ing in the four-act society drama, Lady
Calmore's Flrtations." The merits of
the piece are mcagre in tho extreme and
this would be far more apparent had the
portrayal of the various parts been en-
trusted to less capable hands than to
those Of Miss Kidder and her associates
AS Diana, Countess of Calmore. Miss
* dder held the center of the stage and
even the conscientious work of Thomas
Meghan as Paul Graham her artist adj
mrer, Herbert Fortier as Maxwell Trent

husband who loved her and was too proud
to show it. and Emily Dodd as her one
true woman friend, Marcela. Duchess of
Roxbridge, could not in the least dctract
attention from Miss Kiddcrs excellent
Interpretation of a somewhat unlovely
character. Tho story told is how Lady

title, in an inccssant endeavor not to be
bored. ilrts with her gntlcman friends
till she has list of II 81 love yous." She
then. to every appearance. falls violently
in love herself with Paul Graham. the
hero of many Bohemian affairs of the
heart. In the last act she determines to

he urges her to cast propriety aside and
fee with him, her better nature asserts
itself and. almost in the twinkling of an
eye, Lady Calmorc does the unexpected.
She falls in love with her own husband
and is seen pressed in his fond embrace
as the curtain falls. 1t being a society
play much was expected in the way of
fetching costumes and in this the audi

of the ladies were many very handsome

chief industry being fishing and oyster

school teaching, applying himself, in the
