May Hennessey and Ina Hammer. Messrs.
Mellish, Duncan and Sheffield and Miss
Louise Galloway are well remembered for
their work at the Columbia in seasons
past, while the names of Guy Standing,
Charlotte Walker and Jeffreys Lewis are
vividly recalled in connection with APP
pearances here with standard attractions.
MIR. Standing was associated leading
man with Mrs Patrick Campbell the past
year. and prior to that time was under
the management of Charles Frohman, APP

original production of THE Little Minis

ceeding brightness, her name being closely
associated with such productions as la

ril Maude, managers of the Haymarket
Company, an organization which, continued
through notable successive arrangements,
has for nearly century been one OF the
leading companies in England. Miss JEFF
freys' professional career prior to her pro-
motion to the Haymarket Company was OF
an unusual character. Beginning, as 1t DID,
with Charles Wyndham at the Criterion,
where for two years she played in comedy
parts, she advanced rapidly toward steliar
roles, and passed from the Criterion to the
Adelphi, where she appeared In melodrama
under the management of the Cattis, ana
thence to Terry's Theater, where she be-
came leading lady. From Terry's she went
to the Duke of York's to play leading roles
In The Dovecot," and from there to John
Hare's company, at the Garrick, where she
remained for two years. She then returned
to Mr.. Wyndham, at the Criterion, from
whence she went to the St. James, with Mr.
Alexander, where for two years longer she
was leading lady, and while there was ten
dered the position of leading lady at the
Haymarket Miss Jeffreys was the original
Cousin Kate and Lady Flirt, and almost
her entire career has been identified with
A. w. Pinero, Henry Arthur Jones, Sidney
Grundy Capt. Robert Marshall, Hubert
Henry Davies and other leading play
wrights. Miss Jeffreys has developed mar
velously, and her long engagement at the
Haymarket has beeen but series of tri-
umphs. Miss Jeffreys local debut will be
made under circumstances worthy of her
fame and name and environed by conditions
which should plead strongly for success.
In the all-star cast to be seen here with
Miss Jeffreys are Eben Plympton, W. H.
Thompson. Joseph Wheelock, jr., Murray
Carson, Ben Webster, James Neill, Herbert
Sheath, Kate Phillips and Kitty Cheatham.

Father Beck of the Holton Recorder has
lined up on the side of President Roosevelt
