President Roosevelt for 2 cents due on
a letter, has been copied until it has

graph gallery at Berwick, received a
clipping from the Evening News of
Portsmouth, England, containing the
account. The clipping was sent by his

Miss Roselle Knott, who is starring
this season in Kane, Shipman and Col
WINS grand production "When
Knighthood Was in Flower" has pro.
badly received as many laudatory com.
ments as any living actress. More
especially as MARY Tudor" in her
present play has her work been favor
ably criticized. The following express
sion from one of the best critics of the
day, and severe one. seems to best
set forth the opinion of theatre goers in
general: ''The play When Knight.
hood Was in Flower affords many
theatrical opportunities, and these Miss
Knott adroitly uses. Her embodiment
of Mary Tudor crystaizes into one en-
gaging personality the attributes OF
authority, impetuosity, intrepidity,
force of will, gleeful caprice alterna
ting with tenderness, and ardent pas
sion tempered with both sweetness and
mirth. She presents woman who
loves, and who, amid enemies and
perils, has the courage of her love #
seems probable that her impersonatior
shows her personal ideal of woman
,, hood and is but little, if any, removed
from revelation of her actual self
i 1t certainly is an Interesting and
winning image offeminine variety, in
, tegrity, romantic ardor and femme
