 voice and yet be heard distinctly by members of the home circle When on trains or walking on the street let her aim to strike a voice tone below the din, and not above it, so low. in fact, that 1t rings like a second or alto part in sing ing. She can then be heard as distinctly as If she tried to shout above the roar of street raffic, and her voice will lose | that penetrating. shrill quality which is

 One of the most massive productions of the season is Lorrimer Stodard's romantic drama, "In the Palace of the King, |" which Miss Helen Grantly and her ex- | cellent company will present here shortly, | The most envied man of the season IS ! Arthur Dunn, star of "The Runaways. {" whose pleasant duty it Is to kiss six
 stately and handsome girls every night
 on the stage during the rendition of the
 song. "A Kiss For Each Day in the
 Week." Montgomery will see Dunn do it

 | Josephine Cohan's success in Running
 for office." has been a delight to her many
 admirers. She brings to the part vivacity
 and artlessness with a thorough knowl- edge of the technique of her art and a
 spirit of youth which is infectious. Henry Carson, author of Hester Blair" '"The FooP' and Tito" three of

 Tim Murphy has booked himself for an | all summer engagement in St. Louis. He will not. however, appear in any theatre there, nor yet has the gentle comedian | any designs on any al fresco perform | ances. The fact Is MT.

 When it comes right square down to a
 point of realism, kirke La Shelle may
 be counted upon as doing things with
 vengeance, for he has equipped his mag
 nificent production of ''The Earl of Paw
 tucket" with stage furniture and furnish
 ings on a scale of costliness heretofore
 unknown. Aside from the handsome leather covered, mahogany dining room chairs, which alone must have cost a.. large sum. there is the gold reception set
