Here. Monday.

1t is quite the fad nowadays for
actresses to make Il collection of im-
talinn jcwclry. Not long ago a page
;:'.lic!r appeared in The New York
Herald naming the women who had
many beautiful Stage jewels.
Mildred Holland Who comes to the
augusta Opera House on Monday eve
nh%. has the largest and most btauti-
ful collection If stage jewels in the
country. When She WIS in Russia
last season she WAS allowed, through
the courtesy Of the car, who through
the influence of Prince WalkonSky re-
cciV,d her request. to make drawings
uf I'LL the famous Russian court
jewels. some of which are never shown
except II times Of crronations of
CIIr. These drawings Miss Holland
luoil to Brandt, tn" most famous mi-
tatiun Jewel maker IN Paris. and had
nIadr fac-simile. ana they are the
jewels Miss Holland wears in the
throne room scene rs catherine the

Great in The Triumph of An En-
pr, SIS They will all be ON exhibition

Miss Holland also wears on her
coronation robe the historic black

for III" rob" worn by the then heir APP
parent to the Russian throne ut the
coronation. He has since become

yards remained after the robe was
made, ana Miss Holland succeeded in
buying it. Her peasant costume.
which she wears in the second act. was
bought from a russian peasant girl.
and its Cross-stitch embroidery would
make Il fashionable lady "nvious in
these days when it is SO popular iii

EIany friends of Miss Holland insist
that her latest character study of
Catherine is much greater than any
thing she has ever done. Certainly
