Monument to Fulton.
The Fulton Memorial Association Of
which Cornelius Vanderbilt is presi
dent, met yesterday and decided tc
raise 100000 to place somewhere or
the banks of the Hudson a monument
to the inventor of the steamboat
When it is completed his body will
be removed from Trinity churchyard
and placed beneath it. 1t has been
decided to perpetuate the memory OF
Henry Hudson by building handsome
bridge from the northern end of Man
haitian to the heights of Spuyten Duy-
vii, and some one suggests that the
tomb of Fulton be placed at one end
of the bridge and monument to
Hudson at the other.
An Artistic Studio.
Mr.. Edmund Russell, who is one of
the most versatile men in the art
circles of this city, returned fort
night ago from a two months visit to
London and Paris. He was at home
to his friends last Sunday afternoon at
his beautiful studio in West 3Sth
street. I attempted to give some idea
of the exquisiteness of this place in
former letter, but mere words cannot
convey to the reader its restfulness,
it's harmony of coloring, and the In
trinsic value AID lovliness of all its
furnishings. Among the interesting
things Mr.. Russell gothered on his re-
cent trip abroad are a small plaster cast
by Rodin, the famous sculptor, and an
autographed photograph of Madame
Marchesi, who at the age of eighty
eight, is still imparting her knowledge
of voice culture to score of pupils.
Among the pleasures in store for
me in the near future are visits to the
Sunrise, Playgoers, and New York's
Woman's Press Clubs.
Chat Of the Theatres.
Since the tremendous success Of
THE Music Master" and "The Lion
and the Mouse" any play by Charles
Klein commands large share of pub
lie attention. Therefore much interest
to the production at the Astor
Theatre next Monday evening of his
latest work, Daughters of Men" 1t
will be interpreted by notable cast.
This theatre for the past month has
been the scene of beautiful produc-
ton of "Cymbeline" with Viola Allen
as "Imogene." Miss Allen is eminent
ly fitted to portray Shakepearian
roles, possessing wonderfully modu
lated voice, pleasing personality, and
an intelligent conception of the lines.
She makes of ''Imogene" a charming
creature who wins love, admiration,
and sympathy from the moment she
enters into the action of the play I'M
til the curtain goes down on her
ultimate happiness.
Robert B. Mantell, in Shakespear-
ian repertoire, is meeting with the
same success at the Academy of Music !
hat he did last year at the Garden
He has added but one new
'ole to his list, namely "Iago."
New Workers have had an opportuni-
y during the last three weeks to hear
me of London's favorite actresses,
Mss Lena Ashwell. She is a pretty :
woman with very sweet voice, but
Ter play "The Shulamite" is not the I
lind that appeals to the general pub i
ic. It's scenes are laid in South Afri-
"a, and both the scene painter and the 4
ext combine to give it plenty of local I
olor. 1t is the unpleasant details, of !
is story that bar it from becoming !
opular. A beautiful, imaginative
irl, poor and without relatives or
riends becomes The second wife of
tern, fanatically pious old Boer, who
elieves he is carrying out a Biblical
when he whips her for some
city act Of disobedience, such as read
lg Shakespeare when he has forbid
en- her to read works of fiction. The {
verseer of the Beers farm is a Gull
Ired young Englishman, who finds in
lie girl an eager listener to his stories
travel and the wonders of nature.
1hen he learns that she is beaten for
eading the books he lends her he ex-
acts from her promise that she
iii never again submit IN Such dp1Pa.
