note that such is not the case with
the works of sydney Grundy, and no.
tably so with his Sowing the Wind"
a play by the way which was success
full with the press and public i'm
mediately it was presented. Sowing
the Wind" will be utilized by Man
ager AL S. Roth as vehicle to exploit
Miss Suzanne Santje as star the
coming season. She will imperson-
ate the part of Rosemond, Sydney
Grundy's heroine, and will be sup
ported by that clever actor, Edward

ability, each member of which has
been carefully selected by Manager
Roth with a view to bringing out
properly the virtue of the character as
drawn by Sydney Grundy. The en-
gagement in this city at Academy of

member with pleasure the cleverness
of her work as Dora in the "All Star"
