HENRIETTA cRosMAN

Henrietta Crosman is at last coming
to st. Paul. A week from next Mon
day this celebrated coincidence viii
open weeks engagement at the Met
ropolitan, and this announcement is
sure to stir keen expectancy among
local patrons of the play. This will be
Miss Crosman's first visit to st. Paul,
although she has long held place in the
foremost ranks of American artists,
and is esteemed by many eastern crit
les as the most gifted Coincidence on
the English speaking stage. To her
credit is succession of brilliant tri-
umphs. So popular is she in New
York that she has spent actually the
last i've years there, scoring notable
runs and building up a brilliant repu--
tatlon. Indeed, SO popular is she in the
east that it seems possible for her to
spend most of her time there, and as
consequence she has made fewer
tours than any other of the younger
generation of romantic stars.
AS special feature a limited spring
tour has been arranged for Miss Cros-
man, and this city is one of the points
TO be visited. AS this is her first ap-
pearance she has selected the comedy.
Mistress Nelf' in which she has earn
ed the most conspicuous of her many
triumphs. She took this play for st.
Paul because she is considered her
best in it. Her genius and her artistic
attainments have fuller play in this
comedy than in any other in her roper
toire. The play itself is brilliant, and
is counted one of the best ever turned
out by an American playwright. Its
author is George c. Hazelton. 1t took
New York by storm and piled up a
record run on Broadway with Miss
Crosman portraying the character of
Nell Gwyn. Nothing in Miss Crosman's
repertoire would have enabled the To-
cal public to see her to as good advan-
tage as Mistress Nell.' She makes the
character irresistibly charming, one
that all must laugh at and with.
An excellent company will support
Miss Crosman. 1t was formed with an
especial view to the best acting of the
several characters in the comedy. Mem
bers of the original cast, who contrib
uted to the success of the play in its
long New York run, have been espe-
clally engaged for this tour. The sale
OF seats for this engagement opens
Thursday next.

"MoTHER GOOSE" AT THE MET
ROPOLITAN

Mother Goose the most brilliant
and comprehensive of all the Drury
Lane spectacles presented in this coun-
try by Klaw and Erlanger, will be seen
at the Metropolitan tonight. 1t is said
to be the only production of its magni-
tude and caliber ever booked in this
city.
"Stupendous" is the only word, it is
said, that will describe this beauty
show In importing and adapting it to
the American stage Klaw and Erlanger
spent a fortune. 1t represents the
most costly production ever seen, on
the American stage. 1t is staged IL
three acts and seventeen scenes, and
400 people take part in the perform
ance During it's presentation nearly
1000 different costumes are worn.
There are two great ballets and
beautiful transformation scene. The
ballet at the finale of the first act IS
called "L'Art Nouveau," and represents
in choruses and professions products
of art in manufacture, displaying cary
ed ivory, wrought bronZes and iron,
mosaics, iridescent glasses, earthen-
ware, Limoges, enamels, gold work,
transparent enamels, jewelry and the
diamond. Over 400 people appear in
this feature.
The great ballet, Hearts Ease" at
the end of the second act, is preceded
by minor ballet called The Land of
Frost and Ice" remarkably beauti-
full scene, composed of frosted bead
work. This melts into the Land of
Hearts Ease" showing nearly 400 peo-
pie in most gorgeous costumes in every
hue of the pansy. The last incident is
the display of the great transformation,
"Contentment."
Mother Goose" will be the first of
the great English Drury Lane spec
tacles ever presented in this city.
The cast is one of the best ever pre-
scented by Klaw and Erlanger in any Of
their musical attractions. the main
factor being Joe Cawthorne, who plays
the title character with so much unc-
ton that the most blase theatergoer is
compelled TO laugh at every line and
every antic of this genuinely grotesque
comedian. Harry Kelly and w. H. Ma
cart second Mr.. Cawthorne's efforts
with a vim and go which constantly
keep them in the same place as the
leader. Neva Aymar and Corinne are
beautiful to the eye and just as charm
ing in voice and action. The engage
ment will end with a Saturday mat
inee.

MoDJEsKA's BENEFIT

Modjeska will probably be acting for
the last time in New York at her
benefit in the Metropolitan opera house
in the first week in May, probably on
Tuesday, the I'd. She Is planning to
appear in scenes from Mary Stuart
and Macbeth" Paderewski will play,
Sembrich sing and Ada Rehan act at
the benefit, by which signs 1T is likely
to be artistically much above the usual
level of such testimonials" The sur
prise is that Modjeska, whom every one
thought well to do and living comfort
ably at her country house in California,
should need it.

SUCCESS OF "HoME FOLKS"

What has contributed most largely
TO the great success scored by Home
Folks" the new rural melodrama by
Charles T. Darcy, author of In Old
Kentucky" which is playing to crowd
ed houses at McVicker's theater, Chi
cago, is its fidelity to nature. The
homely scenes, homely incidents and
the familiar rural types are all life
like and human characters. There are
no problems discussed or solved. It
is just story of homely humor and
honest heroism.
The village, which in the play Home
Folks" is called Red Oak, is a real
place with real people and almost all

road, and isolated as 1t was, many
quaint characters had developed.
Illinois was not the great state it now
is, and in this little corner primitive
methods OF thought and life held full
sway. The people were, in the main,
of Kentucky and Virginia stock, and
they cherished all the traditions of
hospitality and chivalry which are dear
to the south. Prosperously they titled
their rich acres with little more to
create ripple in their lives than an
occasional apple peeling' or a picnic
on the river

Creatore and his band of seventy mu-
sicians will give a concert at the Met
ropolitan opera house Sunday evening,
April 8. st. Paul people will doubtless
remember the furore that Creatore
aroused when he was here a few years
ago. Manager Scott has been trying
to make arrangements for this band for
the last three months and was in hopes
of getting IT for a weeks engagement,
but on account of other dates, one
night was the best that could be ar
ranged for il.
The week of April 16 the bill at the
Metropolitan opera house will be Flor
ence Roberts, who has been playing in
the larger cities and who is an actress

Sonal magnetism. So far this season

Belasco's comedy drama, Tess of the
dUrbevilles," Lorrimer Stoddard's
dramatization of Thomas Hardy's nov
Ell, and Marta of the Lowlands,"

the artistic association, for it brings
before present day theater goers three
splendid revivals which are exception

In these essentially modern times ii is
not an easy task TO rally a force like
one finds in the Sothern Marlowe or
ganiZation. The past ten years or
more witnessed a decline of the popu-
larity of the poets works, and hence
the drift carried many away from the
old school of tuition where Shakes
pearean text was formerly the test of
achievement. In balance and in fine
reading of the lines these REVEALS have
been appealing. They have certainly

After three months probation she
was sent to the mother house at
Emmitsburg. Md, where she was six
months under instruction. AS soon
as she was qualified, she was given
the habit OF the order, and was sent
to the orphan asylum at Albany to

Of 1861.
The war having broken out, Mrs.

they have settled down to the conviction

Nursing Shattered Her Health.


Mrs. Jane NJ. Worrall, senior vice
president of the Massachusetts army
nurse association, is one of the vic
tins which ill-health has claimed
among the army nurses, having been
for some time one of the "shut-ins."
When the war broke out Mrs. Wor-
rail- resided with her husband and two
children in the southwestern part OF
Virginia. Owing to the feeling which
existed against northerners, Mr.. and
Mrs. Worrall removed to Boston.
Business, however, called Mr.. Wor-
rail- back to Virginia, where he was
taken prisoner. He succeeded in max
ing his escape when he returned to
Boston and enlisted in the oath Mass
volunteer regiment.
In 1863 he re-enlisted, serving in all
four years and eight months. At the
time of his re-enlistment, Mrs. Wor-

Immediately took charge of ward OF
twenty-five cots. Just before entering
upon her duties Mrs. Worrall had q
depressing experience that led her to
say, "If am to be of any use l must
learn to control myself. I am here tc

patients"
The bracing effect Of this resolution
was observed by the matron Of the
hospital, who said to her, Mrs. Wor

At Fortress Monroe, Mrs. Worrall
was given charge of the wards, acting
as q special nurse to the confederate
Gen. Walker of South Carolina, also
to Capt. Small and Capt. Babb, both
of whom were union men. Afterward,
she went to the West Building hos
pital, Baltimore, where she remained
until the hospital closed.
Just before the closing of the hos.
pital she contracted typhoid fever in
its worst form, barely surviving from
the attack. She has never been well
since. Mrs. Worrall was in the serv.
