There was a contract between them
and Charles Frohman for a season Of
forty weeks. which season Terminated
on the 23d of June. 1t included a tour
of the Pacific States. The Pacific
States part of it is all off now be-
cause of the disaster. The folIowinr
explanation, published In the New
York Dramatic News, will more fully
enlighten the many who are interested
In the careers OF these talented actors
and were anticipating the pleasure of
seeing them on the San Francisco
stage:
LAS there seems to be some sort of
an undercurrent motive to try to
make the public believe that Miss Mar
loves illness is due to the fact Of the
coming appearance of herself and Mr.

QUAKE REFLECTIONS
IN THEATRICAL WORLD

Among those generous members of
the dramatic profession who have
shown themselves kind-hearted friends
of San Francisco by giving a portion
of their valuable time to benefit per-
formances for the sufferers from the
earthquake and fire is Henrietta Cros-
man. Her doings and her career would
be of interest to us, anyway, because
of her talents. but they are doubly
so just now, when she has been proving
the adage that a friend in need is a
friend indeed.
Henrietta Crosman and her COM
pany played the second act of Mary.
Mary, Quite Contrary" at benefit for
the San Francisco sufferers in Omaha
last week The receipts are said to be
in the neighborhood of two thousand
dollars.
1t is probable that Henrietta Cross
man will make a tour Oh the North
west this spring. going as far as Van
couver and Winnipeg. Denver, Salt
Lake. Portland, Seattle and Tacoma
will be included.
She is rehearsing Thompson Bu-
chanan's play, Don't Care Nancy" The
piece will have a tryout this spring.
In Sioux City the other day Henrietta
Crosman saw a horse with a very Sc
we're check rein, and with her usual i'm
owner of the horse wRs away at the
time, and when he returned he swore
vengeance on the person who had un-
checked the horse. He hunted UP Miss
Crosman and threatened to arrest her
She became indignant and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of the owner of
the horse on the grounds of cruelty to
animals The man was fined SIS and
Miss Crosman is happy.
Miss Crosman's production of Pill
grim's Progress" will probably occur
next January in New York. The play
will be taken on the road for two
weeks, and then go into one of the
large New York theaters. The stage
settings are probably the most massive
ever used. and it will require large
force of men from now until the date
of the production to complete them. The
company will number two hundred per-
sons. There is cast of seventy and
chorus of eighty. The last scene is
the CELESTIAL city, and is said to be the
most beautiful picture ever put on the
stage. In this scene alone it will re-
quire at least twenty-five men to oper-
ate the lights.

BOSTON, May 14.-Margaret Anglin's S
return to the Boston stage as a star
was the most important event of the
theatrical night. She had not been seen
here since that notable night more
than two years ago when she was one
of the great company of actors who
had the curtain rung down forever
upon the historic Boston Museum
Since that time she has been greatly
missed from local theatricals, but not
forgotten by any means, as was appar-
ent from the heartiness of her recep-
tion at the Majestic. The play was
"Zira," in which she has been seen in
New York this season. and the favor
able reception which it had there was
repeated in every respect. Miss Anglin
