Down in the sunny south, at Vicks-
burg, Miss, to be exact, the Florence
Roberts company in Ann Lamont
disbanded the other day. Miss Roberts,
1t was announced, would go to Denver
to rehearse some of her old plays with
view to finishing the season with
them. Various causes are assigned for
the failure of Miss Roberts Ann La
Mont" Some critics have said the play
was at fault, some have blamed the
star. 1t is probable that the combina-
ton was a bad one. The result must
have been a bitter disappointment to
Miss Roberts hacker and manager
John Cort, who invested some thou
to the author. Paul Armstrong, who
confidently expected Miss Roberts to
score the success of her career. The
sequel seems to show that Miss Rob
erts is a much better imitatOr than
originator. At all events, though, she
has hundreds of friends in this part of
the country who will genuinely regret
the disastrous finish.
It is not often that working news
paper men have a splendid concert
brought to their desks. This happened
in the new Herald Offices the other
night when the Orpheus club, some
thirty-five strong, came in and gave
some splendid selections. The work of
the club, under the direction of A H
Peabody, was genuine revelation to
the members of The Herald staff. as it
will be to the general public on the Oc-
easiOn of the clubs first concert The
way the singers get the tone volume

most delicate harmonies, cannot fail to
