How Miss Maude Adams Gained
q Pounds Leading the Simple Life

Ii Is fair to assume that there are
very few theatre followers in this cOun-
try who are not Interested in Maude
Adams, and particularly in the man
neT in which Miss Adams spends her
time. For the knowledge has gone
abroad that she is far from strong,
and this has added TO natural curl
osity a tinge of sympathy that whets

sary evil than a blessing. Personally
she is anxious that her tours should
be conducted with as little publicity
as possible. and the keynote of her
character is that Of honest. retiring
mOdesty.
However. there are those favored in
dividuals TO whom Miss Adams win
talk, and sometimes they tell Of her
vacations. One such related last week

enjoyable, occasions experienced by
Miss Adams during the summer, as
told of her by her house companion,
was her attendance at a country fair
held in an adjoining county from that
of her mountain home. She was anx-
ious that her identity would not be
come generally known. as il would re-
lieve her very much from the gaze Of
the curious. bur this was out of the
question. IT was not long till the
president of the fair association was
informed of Miss Adams presence up
on the grounds. and Immediately he
insisted that she make a minute I'M
spection of everything, from the live
stock quarters 10 the giant pumpkins,
fancy needlework and the ice-like COW
cred cakes which occupied d conspicu-
Gus corner i'm floral hail. Soon she
realized that she was in for il. and
when she was solicited TO act as judge
in the warding of prizes in many Of
the departments, she yielded, and. with
several others. passed final judgment
on the output OF cake from the kitch-
ems OF the various farnhouses through
oct the county. Her judgment was not
even questioned by those who failed
to be awarded the ribbons OF honor;
the prizes being SO graduated that they
extended from one 10 five. those on the
losing line being sufficiently honored
that Miss Adams had tasted their cake
and had, OF course, said it was good.

rollicked like a schoolgirl. for it is said
she has the happy faculty of casting
aside all cares pertaining TO the stage
when her season of vacation comes.
About four years ago Miss Adams
selected tract or ground il the most
remote portion of the Catskill noun
tains. on an extremely high elevation
overlooking the valley Of the Hudson
river. Here she built home, which,
however she seldom occupies herself
during an entire summer. but usually
makes the abiding place for a num-

n ONTRACTS were signed last week
L. for the greatest concert that has
ever been attempted in salt Lake.
This seems a pretty large order. in
view of the fact that salt Lake has
heard a number OF very fine concerts,
but the time for the supeFlative has
come.
on the evening of Friday, April Z. in
the Salt Lake tabernacle, the Conried
Metropolitan Opera company Of New
York City viii give an operate con-
cert. This does not mean that some
people who in years gone by. have
sung i'm the Metropolitan Opera COM
pany VIII visit Sail Lake and give a
concert. 1t means that the great COM
pany that is now singing in New York
viii be here i'm its entirety. 1t means
that from a list containing the names
of CarusO, Eames, PlancOn. Sembrich,
Homer, Van ROoy. Burgstaller. Frem-
tadt, BlOss. Weed and others, two or
more soloists will be selected for the
Salt Lake concert.
With the soloists will be heard
chorus Of 200 voices. every one of them
so well trained and possessing 50 much
power that their owners would have
leading roles in any company except
the Metropolitan. There win also be
al orchestra Of sixty pieces. and it
may be said that every member OF
the orchestra is an artist.
