me She was a charming girl, and she came TO me
and kissed me and softened her triumph IN any
way she could.
None the less, my defeat young as 1 was, was
like the sting of a lash. What cut me most was
the conviction that the committee were r18ht.

the character She had harmonized, vltallzed, It,
as l had not done with HOrtense That conviction
absorbed my mind for days. 1t seemed as II an
opened door had revealed to what the art OF
acting really was, something that l had not
understood before. 1t gave me a new, clearly
defined goal toward which l must work and
aspire.
I NAV saw en- PEASANT that this critical capacity,
this power to appreciate superiority IN Others 10

to me vital necessity if is to achieve any great
success | had my vanity of course. One must
have that to arm one for the long struggle.
1 shall never forget, while still young actress,
though with successes to my credit-lt was IN
1872-calling on Victor Hugo to tell him that l
wanted to play La Tish6 in angelo He ceased
his worl-he was sketching- laughed so hard
that he had to sit down. My dear child he said
YOU haven't the strength nor the experience. 1t
will be years and years before you are equal to
La Tishe"
As matter of fact, it was thirty years later
before l felt that l could do justice to the
role, and 1 then PLAYED it in my own theater.
But this critical capacity, this power to see ones
own powers and to see Art correctly, truthfully,
&c as I have said vital. Nothing interfereS with
it so much nothing clouds the vision 50 much,
as dreaming. Nothing develops it so rapidly as
doing.
Another incident of the final examinations
dwells still in my memory, the kindness of Camille

OBITUARY NOTES

Henry HarIand, 'Sidney Luska," Dead
 Born in Norwich, This State.
 The death of Henry Harland, the Am- erican author, who wrote "The Cardin- aPs Snuff Box," was announced in cabIegram received from Italy yester- day by Walter H. Marion of New York. MT. Harland died on Wednesday at San Reno, Italy. His American home was at Norwich, Conn.,, and he also had a London residence. Mir. Harland wrote under the pseudonym of Sidney Luska. After being educated at the, College of the City of New York and at Har- yard, he went to London to live, where he began his writing under his pen name.
 Henry. Harland, who in style and in- vention occupied a high place in the ranks of contemporaneous novelists, was born in St. Petersburg In 1881, and was the son of Thomas lHarland of l Norwich, Conn.,, who was famous in his time as a lawyer and mathemati- elan of remarkable ability. At the age of nineteen he went to Europe, living in Rome and London, whence, under the name of Sidney Luska, he publish ed several clever stores of Jewish life. So exact was his portrayal of Jewish character and customs in such. books as "As It Is Written" and 'The Yoke of Torah," that many readers conclud- | ed that he himself was of Jewish or l igin, whereas he was of New England stock, and the godson of Edward Clar- ence Stedman. In London he became connected with the Yellow Book" and 1 its young school of literateurs and ar. lists. Though many of his early books had a considerable sale, it was not un. til the publication of "The Cardinals Snuff Box," two years ago, that he ob- tained wide critical and public recog' milton.
 Among his various publications may be noted: Mrs. Peixada,' "The Land of Love-" My Uncle Florimond, "Mademoiselle Miss" (1S93), Gre, Roses (1S95), "Comedes and Errors, (1S9S), "The Cardinals Snuff Box "The Lady Paramount" and My Friend Prospero." His early education was received at the College of the City of New York and at Harvard univer. sity. For two or three years, 1SS3-S6, ht held position in the surrogate's of flee in New York city. After he wal married he lived chiefly in London, bli

New Haven 'Thenter.

A comedy drama, with big scenic equipments, depicting life in New York, will be the Christmas attraction at the New Haven theater, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week. The play is called "The Great Jewel Mystery" written by Mark B. Swan to give advantage to James and John Russell, those ininitable deline- ators of female Irish character. In the first act a very sensational confidence game is worked upon a worthy and un- suspecting lady, who not only loses her jewels, but is charged with having snuggled the same, the situation is in- tensified by the fact that the officer working upon the case recognizes the lady as an old and much loved sweet~ heart. The evidence points to parties who are innocent, and the real crooks enjoy the most perfect immunity. It is in this case that Nolan and Dolan (the Russell Brothers) get their work in, they essay the roles of amateur de- tectives, and by the aid of several dis guises, mostly female, ferret out the criminals, and send them where they belong. In the last act a very pretty love story is consummated, and all are mae happy, especially the audience, who had three hours of thrills and laughter. Holiday matinee. Christmas day, and regular matinee Wednesday. Seats now on sale; it would be we'll to secure them in advance, for there has been good demand for sittings.

EZRA KENDALL.

Ezra Kendall, the laugh launeher," |" in a revival of his former success, ''The Vinegar Buyer" when at the Hyperion Tuesday, December 26, last year, won the approval of large audiences, and his return is reasonably sure to witt ness a repetition of the pleasant condi- tions he then enjoyed. The central character, as will be remembered, was suggested by Joe Miller" of James Whitcomb Riley's poem. The title role is one fitted to MT. Kendall's person ality and his droll comedy and his dry humorous way of telling a story. with which '"The Vinegar Buyer" abounds usually keeps audiences in continuou: roars of laughter. Not only is a hand some new scenic production promised but company composed of actors and actresses excelling in their respective lines of dramatic work. The complete cast is entirely new and contains the names of Thurlow Bergen, Harold Rus. sell, James Bevins, John 0'Neal, Editf Taliaferro and others.

Out of Miriam Michelson's novel, "In the Bishops Carriage" Charming Pol- Jock has evolved a drama of much power. The play Is a study in crimin- ology, and the excitement and mystery surrounding the artistic offerings of Nance Olden, the young female thief, is calculated to produce many thrills. In it's original form Miss Michelsons story was one cf absorbing interest
 as the many readers of the book can testify, and in it's dramatization for stage purposes the story has lost none of its charm. A splendid company of players will interpret the different characters made famous in the book. Mabel Taliaferro will be seen afaes Nance Olden; Arthur Byron. as Latimer; E. J.
