those of battle or bloodshed. The
pathos of the home leaving soldiers is
there and the heart tragedies of war

plays could possibly be presented, and
few actresses In the country beside Miss
Gallatin could successfully portray the
central character in each. The one,
Cousin Kate, the title role of the
play, is woman OF the world, with a
heart as large as the proverbial out
doors, a nature as sweet and lovable
as a childs, a disposition of the hap
piest kind, while Chatterton faces a
living death by starvation for the want
of a single draught or crust, though
possessed of the greatest talent of his

A friend recently met Mr.. Lackaye
and asked: Have you found New

Miserables?'
Hardly" replied Lackaye. II can't

Here is new story concerning
Madame Bernhardt. 1t comes from
New York and is told by man who
witnessed what he declared was one Of
the French actress most impressive
performances:
1T was in Detroit and the play was
one OF those innumerable pieces where
the wife, discovering the husband un-
faithful, protests in a stormy scene that
she will go forth and do likewise. This
man sat In the pit, paying little atten-
tion to what was occurring on the stage
when suddenly his ear caught an un-
familiar sentence in Bernhardt's TRADE.
He sat up and listened. To his
astonishment the actress, while weep
ing and scolding and storming at her
husband quite as she should, was de-
livering herself in choice French of an
invective against Detroit hotels in gem
eral, and the hotel where she was regis
tered in particular. The food was bad.
the service was worse, and If ever she
came to that house again might she
hope to die and dwell forever in
America. So she spoke, and fell weep
1nS at her stage husbands knees.
THE audience, thrilled by her con-
summate art, burst into rapturous ap-
plause. The man in the Dit gazed
around for some sign OF appreciation

~ 1cHARD MANSFIELD is no

~ ICHARD MANSFIELD Is no
TX longer merely a ngure OF the mys-
terious east to Los Angeles. We
have gazed upon the man who, accord
Ing to vulgar report, threw chops at
the waiter, called fashionable Chica-
go audience unpleasant names in cur
tain speech and who has been author
of scores of similar sensations, and we
have had occasion to judge his stand
ard as an artist.
Now that 1t Is all over and the Mans
field "season of drama" can be seen
from a dispassionate distance, the fol-
lowing questions are submitted to the
theatergoers: Does Los Angeles be-
lieve Mansfield the greatest American
actor? Considering the prices, scenery,
and company, is Mansfield a sincere
advocate of art for arts sake?
There Is prominent professional
man in Los Angeles who took his wife
and daughter to see beau Brummel'
and paid $3.50 for the evenings enter
tainment. After the performance was
over he remarked:
ITO my mind Richard Mansfield is
one of the greatest actors of the Amer
lean stage. But l do not believe he is
II truly great artist, for to an artistic
soul such company as he has support
ing him would be unbearable. Can you
imagine Henry Irving surrounding
himself with such amateur effects as
were produced this evening by Mans
fields company and scenery?
There can be only two reasons why
Mansfield has done this. Either he
wishes to shine by contrast or he de-
Slres to save money, and in either event
he has insulted his audience. Take
such companies as Mrs. Fiske or John
Drew or e. H. Sothern or Ethel Barry
more. for example, brought to Los An
geles Perhaps none of them had any
one player as great rs Richard Mans
field. but the average that they sus-
tanned was so infinitely superior to
Mansfield's that l know where /, for
one, will be apt to economize in my
next seasons expenditures for. instruc-
ton in dramatic art, provided Mans
field favors us another time"
Florence Rockwell, of course, was O.
redeeming feature but she was kept
in the background. In the opening
nights performance, beau Brummel,"
she did not appear in the cast. Every
scene in every play was carefully ar
ranged to center the attention of the
audience upon Mansfield. In the ad-
vertisng matter and press agents
stories there was not the slightest
mention made of any feature besides
the star.
There Is to be another Merchant of
Venice" offered to the public of Los
Angeles this week, and Manager Mo-
rosco of the Burbank does not hesitate
to say that it will be far superior pro-
duction to that offered by Richard
Mansfield He does not mean by that
that the two performances should be
measured by any different standards
because of the difference in price.
I'VE are not offering Shylock or
Portia or any one figure as our play"
he says, "but we are offering The Mer-
chant of Venice play entire COM

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Aug. A.
A contest between heavyweights is
On the calendar for decision tonight
in the arena of the Colma Athletic
club. The principals are to be Gus
Rubin, the akron Giant and Jim
Mccormack of Galveston. Mccormack,
who has won a reputation by twice
putting Jack Johnson out of the way,
has been training for tonight's con-
test in company with John L. Sulli-
van and appears to be in first class
condition. Rubin likewise appears in
fine fettle and expresses confidence in
his ability to dispose of the big man
from Galveston and pull down the
long end of the purse. Considerable
interest is manifested in the fight
among the local sporting fraternity.

ARRANGEMENTS ARE COMPLETE
FOR PULLING OFF GO AT AR
MORY TONIGHT.
Men Will Fight One Arm Free-Mar-
quis of Queensbury Rules Will
Govern the Go.

Arrangements for pulling off the
Donnelly- Queenan fight at Armory
hall tonight were completed this aft
ernoon and the indications are that
big crowd will be out to witness
the contest. A 2O-foot ring was pitch
ed in the center of the big hall and
seats arranged around so that a clear
view of the arena can be obtained.
The fight will start at o'clock and
is scheduled to go fifteen rounds.
Neither Queenan nor Donnelly mad
made their final selections of Sec
onds this afternoon, but Donnelly will
probably have the two futile broth
ers behind him. Queenan's chief Sec
ond will probably be A. j. Vaught,
who looked after kid Parkers af-
fairs when he was fighting around
Walla Walla. The selection of a ref
cree will be made at the ringside.
Donnelly expects to weigh in at
141 pounds and Queenan will probably
be pound or two lighter, although
there are no weight conditions. The
men will fight one arm free, Mar
quis of Queensburry rules. One arm
free will permit the men to fight in
clinches which will insure plenty OF
work at close range.
