THEATRICAL NOTES

The story Of "Mliss." which deals
with certain phases of California life
in the early SOS, done into a play,
under the title of '"Mliss." is one of
the most popular dramatizations the
American stage has ever seeen. AL
ready has "M'hss" made the fortune
of one actress, and now there is an
other who is rapidly acquiring wealth
with the same medium. Her name is
Nellie McHenry known from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and she is now
in her fourth season with this charm
ing comedy of life on the Western
frontier. "Mliss" has been given a
very elaborate production under the
direction of Messrs. Spencer and Aborn
and will make an extended tour OF the
country the present season. 1t win be
given at the Lyceum this afternoon
and evening.

MdndSeI iiullpNIleS announces loF
an early appearance at the Lyceum
something novel in the way of a theat-
rical attraction. Daredevil Dorothy" :"
which the author prefaces as a melo-
dramatic musical comedy novelty.
Fred G. Berger and T. II. ONeil have
secured the American rights for this
attraction from the English authors
and have organized a surprisingly fine
company and a novel one, embracing
powerful dramatic actors, musical COM
edy people, dancers and singers. The
date OF this company's appearance here
will be announced in a few days.
Ezra Kendall has long been recog-
nized as one of the most popular and
successful comedians on the American
stage. He is one of the coming at
fractions in his new three act comedy
The Vinegar Buyer" This funny
mans managers Liebler & Co., are
positive that they have play adapted
to Mr. Kendalrs personality and he
viii surely be able to extract laughs
by the score. He will be surrounded
by a clever company of artists at the
Grand Opera House next Tuesday
night.
1t is odd how people on the stage
become identified with certain STYLES
Of plays. Miss. Enid Mayo, who is to
appear here as a star in the famous war
drama, Winchester" at the Grand
Opera House on Monday 1ight, had a
leading role in Shenandoah" five years
ago and before that played the part Of
! Cigarette in THE Little Trooper" a
stage version of Ouida's Under Two
Flags" Miss Mayo has not appeared
on the stage for the past four seasons
owing to illness which resulted from an
laccldent while playing in Shenandoah" !"
She is a warm favorite with theatre
goers everywhere and her return will
be enthusiastically welcomed.
There are any number of people in
all parts of the country to whom the
wonders of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
will possibly never be revealed. and
who, unless they attend a performance
of THE Earl OF Pawtucket," may never
have the faintest conception OF the
grandeur Of that famous hostelry. for
in this equally renowned comedy is
shown the exact counterpart Of three
of the Waldorf Astoria's most magni-
ficent apartments. together with faith
ful reproductions of the furniture and
other belongings which have been the
objects OF so much curiosity to visitors.
Kirke La Shelle, who is a warm per-
sonal friend of Proprietor Boldt of the
Waldorf Astoria, was allowed this
special privilege so that nothing should
be left to the Imagination in preparing
the important scenes of his comedy.
all Of which are supposed 10 take place
there.
THE Earl OF Pawtucket." coming to
the Grand Opera House March II. will
not only please admirers Of artistic
stage furnishings. but will prove a
source of exceptional delight to those
who are partial to the noblest quality
of comedy.

THE AMBITIOUS FISH

There was once young fish couple

rock. They would have been very happy

Of bluejays had built their nest Mrs
Bluejay, with her fine feathers, her loud
voice and most of all, her home in the

She talked to, her husband SO much
about her desire to live in tree that he
finally lost patience. well. my dear" he
said, fishes cannot live in the top Of
trees-you know that-but we might move
back into the roots of the willow tree,
where lived when was a bach

This did not satisfy Mrs. Fish at ALL
and the next day, when her husband had
gone down stream, she was very much
excited to see hook and line dangling
thru the water. There she said to her
self, that is my opportunity 1 will climb
up that line and sit in the tree. Then I
can talk to that elegant Mrs. Bluejay and
learn from her just how to set about liv-

She smoothed her scales and hurried up
to the hook Got a bte! cried the small
boy who was holding the end of the rod
He gave a jerk. and Mrs. Fish flew high

Flower Gardens in Municipal
Identification,

Apropos of the Vacation Gardening
club that is being started among the
boys Of the Minneapolis public
schools, It is interesting to observe
what has been accomplished along this
line in Cleveland, as described by
Mr.. j. M. Bowles in the current
Worlds Work. Cleveland has home
gardening association which is at
tempting to beautify an entire city
and is meanwhile actually supporting
itself. Unlike the Minneapolis idea,
which is more economic than orna-
mental In Its purposes, the Cleveland
organization has for its primary OBJ
ject the planting Of flowers, vines and

and in the winter months the school,

In 1900, $4,000 packages Of seeds
were sold at cent each and the re-
ceipts covered all expenses In 1908
the sale of more than $4,000 pack
ages resulted in profit enough to pay
for twenty-four stereopticon lectures
and to provide prizes for flower shows
in the schools.
The result of this work has been
remarkable, the appearance of the
worst parts of the city has been trans
formed; even in the crowded districts,
beds of bright flowers are seen on all
sides.
There is room in Minneapolis for
work along this line, if it could be
taken in hand by some vigorous asso-
citation. We have had some efforts in
the past to encourage flower gardens,
but it cannot be said that the most un-
slightly parts of the city have been af-
fected. Minneapolis has some very
extensive regions which are dreary
and desolate, dirty and untidy, that
could be altogether changed in APP
pearance by the Introduction here of
such an undertaking as that which has
beautified Cleveland.
