Columbia Theater.

Before going into the New Amsterdam
Theater, New York city, one week from
Monday evening to resume his successful
run there, Mr.. Richard Mansfield will be
seen seven times next week at the Column
bia Theater in the now famous cold Heidel-
berg There are three lines in the third
scene of the first act of Hamlet" which
have been placed at the top of his program.
They are:
lie may not. uDvalud persons do
Carye for himself for on his choice depends
The safety and the health of the whole state.
These lines from Hamlet" Mr. Mansfield
selected as the bestgdeinition of the almost
tragic motif of the German play of .Old
Heidelberg The young hereditary prince
or the petty German state is weary of the
conventionalities which hedge him in. He
yearns for some share in the joys of youth;
for some glimpse of the free, happy world
beyond the walls of his castle; for some
companionShip more human than that of
venerable cabinet ministers. He has heard
his old tutor, DIR. Juttner, recall the glad,
wild life of his student days at Heidelberg,
and in sudden passion of revolt he makes
to him a plea for a little journey into the
world of merriment and unconventionality.
Forth into the world the pair go. The old
man renews his youth at Heidelberg: the
young prince finds his. But because he is
a prince he cannot keep the treasure. He
must sacrifice it to statecraft and the little
interests of his little state. Hence the
significance of the line from Hamlet" as
expressive of the motif of Wilhelm Meyer
Forsters play
''Old Heidelberg has been played for two
years in Vienna Berlin and St. Petersburg

ANNIE RUssELL's START.
First Appearance Jeopardized by Her
Extreme Youth.

From the New York Times
A fact not generally known. perhaps, is
that Annie Russell, like many another sue
cessful player. had no theatrical ambi-
tons at the outset. She aspired rather to
letters, and her early wish was to be an
authoress. But the first manuscript she
sent to publisher was returned with brief
thanks. and In that respect she became
disheartened at the outset Her fondness
for the stage resulted from a short excur-
sion into amateur theatricals, and She
made her first appearance at church
fair. Then she Joined a dramatic club,
and the rest followed naturally. She re-
lates the circumstances of her professional
debut follows:
Miss Rose Eytinge was coming to Mon
treal to play Miss Mutton and as she car
ried only one child to play the boy Paul.
she wrote to the local manager requesting
him to engage girl for the part of Jeane
and to have her perfect by the time of the
stars arrival The manager advertised for
a young girl, and mamma took me down.
The part was given me. but when Miss
Eytinge saw me at the first rehearsal she
was dreadfuIIy put out. and sent for the
manager
:. What's this?' she cried pointing to
me.

Il said a girl, not a child. declared
Miss Eytinge. Go and get me girl or q
young woman who can play a girl.
THE manager protested thar no such
person could be found bat Miss Eytinge
insisted that the town be secured.

slowly dawned upon me | retired to the
wings and set up a dismal bowling Then
