Considerable criticism of an adverse
nature has been heard concerning Mrs
Fiske's lack of voice at some stages
of the play. True. Mrs. F'iskes lines
were at times obscured by the drop
ping of her voice. but this fact did not
detract from the brilliance of her per-
formance.

M R RS. FISKE'S revival of
NH Becky Sharp" at the Man
haitian theater is the par
A ticular topic at present agi-
tating metropolitan theater goers.
The play in itself, one of considerable
interest, is strikingly Illuminated by
the effective picturing of the three
principal roles. Mrs. Fiske's Becky is
too well known to require especial COM
ment. 1t is SUFFICIENT to state that she
equals the impersonation of the role
which she gave at the time Langdon
Mitchells dramatization of Thacker-
avs Vanity Fair" was first presented.
''The best thing Mrs. Fiske has ever
done" say authoritative judges of his
trionic art, and, whether net this be
SO. Becky Sharp as I saw her on the
recent opening night was wonderfully
real, viciously mercenary. alluring.
damning and gayly fascinating being.
tite must respond to Mrs. Fiske's
Becky. Consummate mastery of the
art of expression and of representation
are requisite in the picturing of the in
fernal feminine in the thirty-third de-
gree. The kiss that warns not of its
treacherous promptings. the smile that
masks the fell intent of a heartless wo-
man dissembler. the words of an un-
faithful wife TO a trusting husband that
ring with the sound of honest metal
the arch witchery of the ambitious ad-
ventures flushed with the heeting ex-
hilaration of temporary triumph-all
these phases Mrs. Fiske spreads for
your delectation- Say not that here is
a test which, assailed by the many, has
been met by more than the few.

Baker Bros, the weIf-known Mary
land Gamers and packers, have about
completed their big corn canning estab
lishment here and had steam in the boil
ers Wednesday morning for the first
time. The plant has a capacity Of fr.,m
Al. 900 to 30, no cans of corn day and is
equipped with every modern appliance
for corn canning.
The firm contracted for 500 acres of corn
among the farpers of the neighborhood
and the outlook at present promises a
fair yield. That they have come to Mid
detown to stay there can be no doubt.
They have purchased site on the Pen
ington estate, near the railroad station,
and siding runs direct to the shipping
house. The plant is complete in every
way and will give employment to a large
number OF people. Buildings have been
erected on the property for the ac-
commodation OF the workmen who will
go there for the season only, and they
will not be obliged to live in shacks, as
the do in many places.
Mr.. Baker stated Wednesday morning
that he was much pleased with the sea-
sons outlook, and that the. new plant
was amply prepared to handle every ear
of corn contracted for. The acreage con-
tracted for by some OF the Maryland
factories has not been altogether satisfac-
tory the past year or two, and the firm
