arch-hypnotist. Mr.. Lackaye's revival Of
the famous old play after ten years of In
termittent representation and misrepresen-
tation in the hands Of all sorts and condi-
lions of actors, is a convincing proof that a
really good play wins something more than
passing vogue: that II is, indeed, a peren-
NAL box office asset, II properly cast and
mounted. From Svengalfs hypnotic eye to
Taffy's Dundreary whiskers, including
Trilby. the Laird. Little Billee, Gecko and
Madam Wizard. the old piece has struck
fire again. The original New Amsterdam

have won distinction by real merit. and
best OF all, she is an American. When she

Eames in Paris at the beginning Of her
artistic life, and fell heels over head in
love with her Immediately. Her regal
beauty appealed to his imagination, and he
made up his mind to win her. Mrs. Eames,
the mother was in a fever Of disapproval.
but the daughter was not of the same
mind. The world knows now that obstinate
determination is part of Madame Eames'
success. She decided to marry Mr.. Story,
in spite of warnings Of a blasted career
Subsequently. history has shown that she
was right. She and Mr.. Story have been
entirely congenial, and have grown famous
together. They have a very beautiful per-
manent home in Paris and a villa near
Vallombrosa, IN Italy. where they spend
their summers. The accounts of the pres

thusiastic. Packed houses have been the
rule. There is a young Spanish baritone
in the company, who seems to have stirred
