THE MOB IN "MoNNA WANNA"

Mans Held fill vast theater nightly, but all tickets were bought as fast as they were put on sale weeks ahead. Finally the great actor was induc ed to forego his vacation planned for holy week and all tickets were snapped up in a jiffy. Then for eight days the box office attendants relieved each other at intervals only to repeat from morning till night, All seats are sold." MT. Mansfield then consented to an extra matinee.
 A newspaper estimated that New York city paid $77,00O to see Mansfield act twenty-nine times. The critical and popular praise was quite propor- tionate to the other extraordinary fea- lures of this engagement. MT. Mans field acted nine great roles. and the opinion was general that never before has he acted with greater force. sub tlety, sympathy and power than at present.

ELLEN TERRY'S FIRST
 STAGE APPEARANCE

Ellen Terrys first stage appearance was complete and utter failure. That statement may come as mild surprise to Americans in view of recently pub- ltshed commentaries on the great actress's successful debut in 1858, as the child Mamillus in "The Winters Tale" but it is true nevertheless.
 Hero is the narrowing story of her initial failure" in Ellen Terry's own words as related to an interviewer:
 think 1t must have happened somewhere in Scotland, because the stage manager was Scotch. My father and mother were both on the stage and had married when both were under nineteen years of age. Then came a baby-that was Kate-and when she was three and half to help things out. 1t was settled that she should act. By the time she was six she had played iu Richard H. danced Spanish dance. in one play. sailors hornpipe in an- other-in fact. like the Bateman chil. dren, she had done everything. We still keep little pair of white ducks marked Kate Terry and sailors jacket and little sailors hat.
 "Then came my turn. When was about four or five 1t was decided that should take part in a pantomime called The Spirit of the Mustard Pot had long yellow hair, which was cer- tainly most appropriate, and I was to wear a yellow dress. But at rehearsal was afraid. I shrieked and misbe- haved generally.
 "'Pit your child down into a mustard pot (my yellow hair was to represent the mustard overfiowing the pot), bawled the irate Scotsman.
 Darn the mustard pot!' I think that was the inelegant expression my father used in reply As soon as we were alone he said to me: You little idiot. you'll never be an actress!' Fancy saying that to child of my years! But then, you sec. Kate was already considered a great actress, and she was. then retired for some years. my first appearance having been at rehearsal only"
 As every one knows, despite her fa- ther's prophecy, the little mustard pot" girl did turn into tolerable actress

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

One of the Pennsylvania wrestlers who competed against Cornell in re- cent dual meet between the two col- leges said that the Cornell grapplers smeared their bodies with oil before going on the mat. It would be an odd thing if college wrestling team ac- tually did turn trick like that, and still more odd that Pennsylvania would have wrestled under those conditions without making few general and dis cursive remarks of protest.

Joseph CaWthorn,

Joseph Cawthorn is the star in "The Free Lance" His unique antics and effective comedy work are excellent &C., compartments of the splendid lines ,swith which he is supplied by the libret- to. Some of his witticisms are un- doubtedly the best of the year.
 2 Cawthorn appears in the role of Sieg- mund Lump, a shepherd, once re- doubtable brigand. But, like Samson of old, his strength depended on his hair, so when his wife cuts his hair his power deserts him, and so do his supporters. In the opposite role is Jeanette Lowrie. as a goose girl, mar ried to Lump. These two young people become involved in the troubles of two rulers. the Duke of Graftiana and the Duke of Braggadocia. They imper- ssonate prince and princess who are sabout to be married and amusing com- plications pile up a pyramid of fun. ' The piquant Miss Lowrie rivals sComedian Cawthorn for first honors in spopularity. She is an alluring sight in white silk tights in the last act.
