MAUDlG ADAMS APPEARS I'm

NEW PLAY

In the height OF her wrath at Petru-

he has won his fight for dominance the
hirsute flamc i, dulled to crimson;
and a. the conclusion, when the con-
flagration OF her rage has been sub
duee entirely by his prairie trick of
setting the counter fire, her hair is
hardly Iedde- than embers- Miss Re
han always did wear wigs OF art on
the stage, from the pale yellow of her
beautiful Lady Teazlc 10 the jet black

o. an oldfSh woman in poor health as
she passes from her carriage to the

you that Miss Rehan's loya1 ana ad-

thia time in her tours she has been
tremendously prosperous. She has Wis

the bis cities, too. her business was
satisfactory l. she hadn't owned a

about third OF the Daily estate at the

her best two roles, Katherine and Lady

dreaded such neglect as she is suffering
from he- townsmen. They have lost
no appreciation o. her, nor any respect
