Modern vaudeville with its foreign
acts has developed more trials and
tribulatiOns for the long suffering
manager of a house. At the Orpheun
this week there has been a sample of
what is expected on the part of the
childlike and bland foreigner who
knows nothing Of travel and cannot
speak English. From the time the
Spanish dancing girls left New York
they have Bog put on trains and met
at the depot at their destination. The
Barowsky troupe Of Russians also have
to be taken care of in a similar manner.
Tickets have to be given the conductor
and care taken that none leave the
train. Then when they arrive they
have to be escorted to their hotel and
looked after while in town. Even in
the face of these precautions once in a
while members of a foreign troupe go
astray and board wrong trains and
there is consequent grief and frantic
telegraphing in order to get the act on
the stage in schedule time.

PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.

No where else does nature display
such faVOrit-sm as on the stage In al
most any other profession hard work
may take the place of genius; but in
the theatre man of cultured attain
ments may be quickly forgotten while
some one Of less intellectually compels
attention as the pole cOmpels the mag
netic needle. observation-disclosures
not more than once in a generation
both individual magnetism and the
mental graces are united in the same
person. Then season by season the
public gradually awakens to the fact
that q great actor is again before them.
He is never received with instant up
roar as d prevailing fad His merit
must be tried as precious minerals arc
tried. The verdict is one Of too much
significance TO be hastily reached and
tinseled limitations are so many that
the genius in art must clear itself of

1.-THE Right to Love" calls for little
dramatic action, save in the fourth and
last acts, where the longsuffering hus-
band sentences his faithIess wife, de-
serted by her ungallant lover to a life
time Of lOVeless misery under his roof.
The play was creditably enacted by a
large cast. Wayne Arcy, as the stern
but Just husband, acted with natural
ness and reserve, and showed consider

PASSING OF AUNT LOUISA
She Was AffectionateIy Called So BY
All the Players.

Writing of Louisa Eldridge, who died
recently, the New York Sun says:
Aunt Louisa was right when she said
that they would have to hold her fu-
neral in a church because there would
be such a crowd. All Souls church
was filled to overf1Owing, not by actors
and actresses alone, but by men and
women from all walks Of life, who had
come to pay their last respects to the
memory of an Open-sOuled and remark
able woman, one who had been in
finitely greater in her own personality
than she had ever been upon the stage.
Columns on columns might be written
about Aunt Louisa" and yet none Of
them could quite do her justice. To
the world at large she always appeared
a hustling little body, full Of cheerful
ness and good nature, with a, fondness
for calling q spade a spade in those
moments when she wasn't calling it a
old shovel: but the quality which
endeared her most to those who really
knew her we'll was her adherence Of
a fake in any shape or form. You
couldn't fool Aunt Louisa for a quar-
ter of a second, and there was nothing
on earth which she enjoyed more than
calling down some upstart who de-
served to be put in his or her proper
place. On this occasion there was a
width and breadth to Aunt Louisa s
vocabulary that was positively superb
Even those members of the Profess
sional WOman's League who loved her
most always stood a little bit In awe
of her, for there was no telling who
was going to get hit over the head
with a few home truths when Aunt
Louisa arose in meeting to make q few
remarks. When we say that her heart
was only equaled in size by her sense
of humor we are merely telling the
truth Knowing her well, we feel per-
fectly sure that # 1t had been possible
for her to read her obituary notices
her criticism Of them would have been:
"They are all very nice and kind, but
they have oil made me out too ami
able" Availability she always scorned
profoundly. and she loathed cheap SEN
tiraent In any form. To no one outside
Of her own immediate family will her
death be a greater loss than to her old
friend. Mrs. Henry Abbey. Through
all the years OF her professional career

riage Mrs. Abbey and Aunt Louisa
