to laugh at the first is an excuse to
mourn or rejoice with the second. The
story of The Old Homestead is a de-
lightful picture of rural simplicity and
the characters are lined with the
striking acuteness Of a silhouette. It
has no plot: no high flown dialogues, no
rolling periods; these are all lacking.

have seen it to be the most entertaining
as we'll as the most human play written
IN the last decade. Excellent however
as the play itself IS, it owes a very
large proportion of its popularity TO
the remarkable impersonation of the
slavey heroine by Miss Robson, and it
is doubtful If another actress can be
found who will so realize the purity and
innocence which are the chief charms
of the character.
Miss Ada Dwyer. whose cockney Iodg-
ing house keeper is one of the delight
full character bits in the production of
the comedy here, will accompany Miss
Robson to London, but the balance OF
the supporting cast at the Duke of
York's will be made up entirely of Eng
lish actors. Henry Ainley. a youthful
leading man of what may be called the
modern romantic school. has been Sc
lected for the role of Lancelot. the
composer, and Gerald Du Maurier will
be Peter, the musical tea merchant.
Miss Robson's first big hit in Merely
Mary Ann" was made last November
at the GaTrick theatre. Chicago, and it
is expected that her return engagement
in that city viii be crowned with even
greater success. Her tour Is to be an
extended one, and arrangements have
already been made at the earnest So
licitation Of the local managers. for
her to pay return visits to Cincinnati.
Cleveland. Baltimore. Washington and
all the other cities in which she ap-
peared last autumn before she came
into New York for her long engage

gone to her and said: You are old
and the rigors of touring will not give
you graciousness or good humor. Your
voice is cracked and you cannot sing
the songs the people want as you were
wont TO sing them. You will be disap-
pointed and perhaps heart broken by
another tour. Rest upon your laureIs
and spend the rest of your years at

Then, if Patti had insisted, she would
be TO blame. Her yielding to an Offer
that promised in turn to yield a great
sum of money resulted in her undoing
At the Nixon theatre last Monday night

most pathetic things l have ever seen.
If Patti could have seen what her
audience saw she surely would have
stopped her tour there. I met a gray

er her first appearance. He had seen
her on three other tours. The last time,
he said. 10 hear her was worth all that
he had paid. But now he was going
home In sadness, his idol shattered
You know we had been won't to re-
gard Patti as a divinity. We all looked
upon her as an Incompatible artist and
a gracious lady. We thought her as

as she was in vocal gift. All
the illusion is gone now. Instead Of
a goddess Of music she is hut of human
clay and has the fOibles and failings
and short life of all things human. Her
conduct showed that, like the other
prima dome, she has whims and
caprices, that she is Imperative and
petulant, and that the graciOusness that
she used TO have on the stage must
have been a demeanOr donned for the
occasion. This last tour OF Patti showed
US that she had used her surprisingly
beautiful gift of voice TO fool US all
these years But, as Nancy Brown
sang last week, You can't fool all the
people all the time" Farewell Patti,
and this time it is farewell

One of the details that is important
in dramatic performances is the music.
This is a fact so generally recognized
that managers always devote much
thought TO it when they mean to make
their production a particularly fine one.
Kirke La Shelle spent at least a week
getting the kind of music he wanted
for The Virginian." He had his mU-
sic director writing and trying Incl
dental strains and chords until It
seemed as if one or both of them would
be nervous wrecks. But Mr. La Shelle
got the music he wanted at last, and
| now it is the general remark that the
orchestra does its full share toward the
general completeness.
