Cousin Kate

Alberat Gallatin comes to the Metro
politan operahou for half week s
engagement beginning next Thursday
night with matinee Saturday in a
comedy of English home life with it's
scenes laid near to London in the peace
full environment of the Surrey Hills.
The characters Of the play are Of the
conservative British type Of educated
people who have never fourished their
delicate sensibilities away from home.
sCousin Kate,' is brilliantly accom-
plished bachelor girl and successful
novelist, possessed of endearing and en-
during qualities. She is never, called
sKitty.' She is the kind of Kate so
many educated and uneducated families
lean on when stricken by various vicis-
STUDIES of private or of public interest.
The author has given to her the right of
free utterance in conformity with her
attachments, but has debarred her from
ill-natured sarcasm, scathing remarks Of
Ncattiness'' to the relatives with whom
her lot is cast for twenty-four hours,
during the action of the play. Two
seasons ago Albert Gallatin appeared in
a play which cut to the bone like a
surgeon IS knife, and as Mrs. Alying
In fbsen s Ghosts, demonstrated her
possession of great personal beauty

but in all his theatrical career he has
never had one to equal the "Ideals,''
that are underlined there for this week.
The new three-act comedy, "Every Day

Great Preparations Making
For Summer Season at Met

Dick Ferris in his summer season at
the Metropolitan opera house is going
to back heavily his judgment that the
people of this city can and will enjoy
real plays in the good old summer time.
Summer seasons have usually run to
rags of comedy and remnants of opera,
but here is to be an initial production
Of piece which is characterized thru
out by melodramatic thrill. "The
Great Ruby" has no lazy scenes.
Something is doing all the time.
1t stands to reason that with such a
play to be put on for the first time by
a new company, something must be
doing in advance. These things are
going on already-the company which
Mr.. Ferris has selected has arrived
and is going thru daily rehearsals of
"The Great Ruby The men who are
painting the scenes for the production
and the carpenters who build the frames
for them have taken possession Of the
big Auditorium stage and are busily
engaged in turning out work. There
are twelve distinct scenes in "The

this coming season to a young woman
in whom she thinks she discovers dra-
matte ability that can be developed.
She invites candidates for future his
trionic honors to write to her. She SAYS

and it takes. besides men and paint,
artistic knowledge to do it. 1t is be-
ing done in such way that the people
who see the production here for the
first time will see everything that the
fashionable New York audiences saw
in the two-years run of the play there.
Likewise the people of Minneapolis will
see a company competent to take care
adequately of every character in the
play. Some of their old favorite
actors will be present, such as Mr..
Beasley, Wallace Shaw, to say nothing
of Miss Stone and Mr. Ferris them
selves. These will be reinforced by
artists of approved merit who have
been seldom seen in Minneapolis.
Among the leading men, of whom there
are three, will be Harrington Reynolds,
who was formerly Miss Margaret Ang-
