public when 1t may no longer enjoy
this fine old actors art or come in
touch with his gentle personality, for
Mr.. Stoddart has remained throughout
a long life wholly unspoiled. He is as
simple and unassunling at the zenith Of
his stage career as he was during his
early struggles for recognition.
Naturally enough, an actor Of Mr..
Stoddart's long experience is frequent

Is that opinion, as Mr.. Stoddart ex-
pressed 1t In a recent interview:
Time has little to do with ability.

as Ned Nimble and the girl as Flossie.
While Flossie attended to the stand, Ned
sold papers. The father of the children
was one Albert Cooper, who had been
sent to Sing Sing, and separated from
his Wife, through the false charges of
Prince Charlie, a gambler, who also
ruined the wife and the nephew of
Cooper's employer, wealthy merchant
named Montgomery.
The wife became trained nurse, and
at the time of the action of the play is
employed in Montgomery's home, the
old man being slowly poisoned to death

into Montgomery's home by Prince
Charlie as his wife.

dramatic doings at the Metropolitan

they were dire indeed. 1t is a question
whether, in view of the impossibility of

been the wiser policy to have allow

three or four nights in preference to
filling in with such an atrocious dra-
matte exhibition as was exemplifled by

the burden of his honorable career.
Seventy six years old, seventy of them

his last night In the ST. Lazare prison
with friends who are to share his fate on

ty Nine de Coigny. To celebrate his last
night on earth he IS giving a supper, and
by special permission, his wife Nine de
MonJourdan. has been allowed to stay
with him. The sounds of Cara and
the Carmagnole from the mob outside
plunges the wife into agonized tears. He
tries to console her, while NJ de Mon
troud deals in airy, courtly nothings and
Nine. de Coigny practices walking to the
scafold, using a chair as a gullotine, so
as to be sure to show the canaille how
an aristocrat can die. After supper, hus-
band and wife are left alone to wait the
hour of parting. They can hardly speak,
and can only look into each others ewes
and try to stifle their sobs. Suddenly the
door opens softly. Is 1t the jailer coming
for his victim? No, only a man in his
nightshirt, candle in hand who hastily
mumbies an apology and disappears The
incident strikes both husband and wife as
unspeakabIy 1udicrous and they burst into
laughter. Then comes the jailer. Even
then they cannot stop the laughter, and 1t
continues amid the sobs and tears De
Monjourdan is led away, and his wife, left
alone, sobs wildly and then laughs, and
laughs and Sobs. Then the curtain falls.

Who knows? Perhaps this elixir of
Shakespeare which DR.. Liebler, DR.. Viola
Allen and Surgeons Klaw and Erlanger
are beginning to prescribe will fit the case.
1t may be just the right dose to tone up

De Foe in the New York World.
The prescription is old. But then there

that the old remedies are best.
Surely the engagement of Ada Rehan
and Otis Skinner at the Lyric theater,
which ended last night, must have sug-
gested a new idea to those persons who,
unmindful Of changing conditions, cling to
the old belief that Shakespeare spells
ruin.
