which his father took when he went on
the stage.
Mary Mannering, whose work in
The Walls of Jericho" after her abb
sence of year from the stage, has
placed her back in her old position
among the finest American actresses
and who is now an independent star
under the management of her husband,
James K. Hackett, answered in her
youth to her real name of Florence
Friend. One of the Frohmans found
her playing in England under that
name and changed it for her before
bringing her to this country to es-
tablish her as leading woman in the
old Lyceum stock company.
The derivation of the name of Mar
garet Ellington, the Illinois girl who
is just now making all sorts of a hit
as the wife in the support of John
Drew in Arthur Wing Pinero's His
Home in Order" in New York, is pref
ty well known. Miss Illington's real
enough name is Margaret Light. She
lived in Bloomington, ILL.,, and pursued
her dramatic studies In Chicago. 1t
was after she had been graduated and
played one short season with James
K. Hackett that she was engaged by
Daniel Frohman. He changed her
name to Margaret Ellington, compound
ing the last name out of sections of
Bloomington" and illinois, Then
he married her.
In choosing a name most players are
governed by their desire to get one
that the public the critics and the
managers can easily remember. The
simpler the name is the better, unless
it is too common. There are few John
Smiths on the stage, for example. But
the men strive for strong, dignified
names like John Mason or Edward
Morgan, although, of course, hosts of
them run to the Montgomery and de
| this and du that. Still any knowledge
at all of theatricals shows that the
men and women at the top of the list
are those that have used their talents
in other directions rather than in the
selection of freaksh names.
The names of chorus girls are often
fearful and wonderful Especially are
the names of the English chorus girls.
Still the championship remains in
America, for where is there a name
that can equal, let alone surpass the
beautous name of Zaza Belasco. which
is the st ge name of a we'll known
chorister whose real name is Winifred
Dunn?
No actor will wear the name of Frost
for any price and there used to be a
superstition in favor of alliterative
Names which superstition has just
about disappeared.

Charles F. Semon in his mirthful
monologue.
GRAND-Unique scenic effects and
thrilling episode are the characteristics
| of Col. Mann's new attraction, LAS Told
| in the Hills" which comes today to the
Grand opera house. The prologue tells
a tale of pioneering in Arkansas, in the
days before the Indians had been driven
| back by the irresistible advance of the
white settler. Eighteen years later we
see the same country under the regime
| of the cowboy and the miner. Comedy
of a rather unique character relieves
the intense melodramatic story and
makes the play we'll balanced pro-
duction.

Cabin" will appear this afternoon and
tonight at the Peoples and continue

standing the frequent productions of
this play, it is never produced In the
sumptuous manner that it is in Stet-
sons. This management believes in

How Actresses Use Their Eyes

~ EAUTIFUL, large, or expressive
II eyes are good part of the actors
stock in trade. This is more true
even OF the actress, who can use her
eyes with effect in ways which in the
actor would be effeminate. Like the
fash of a Jewel, a telling use of the
eyes will carry to the farthest part of
the house and win make the success of
q bit OF stage business. So well is this
fact understood by the manager that he
rates 1t higher than any other form of
beauty when considering an applicant
Other kinds of beauty and grace, good
presence, even a good voice. which is of
great Importance. may be cultivated to
q great extent, but the player whose
eyes are without fire and magnetism is
Handicapped. Mansfield always has
worked against this defect, as his eyes
are poor. He has cast in one eye, hut
by his cleverness in makeup he largely
has been able to remedy il.
No actress of the day has eyes more
beautiful than Julia Marlowe, and no
one knows better how to use them. She
can be alluring and repellant, fascinat-
ing and coquettish. coaxing and trust
ing. When 16 years old she was called
"the dark saucer eyed girl" Her Won
derful brown eyes seem TO talk with
her, and when she is acting they empha-
size her conversation and change the
expression with as much light and
shade as is in her sympathetic voice
Maxine Elliott has black eyes, and 1t
Is amusing to know that when she was
a young girl a theatrical manager re-
ferred to her as "the thin one with the
big eyes" One Of the most sincere COM
pliments on her beauty ever given to

-IioS I1lliOll WIS ITOlll fslnel barrymore,
who said she was the Venus of Milo
with arms" Several years ago Maxine
Elliott played opposite Nat Goodwin in
Nathan Hale" She came on in one
scene to say good by to her lover and
without one word but by using her
eyes, she depicted her heart breaking
despair.
In The Girl of the Golden West" a
bit that is enjoyed hugely by the audi
ence. is where Blanche Bates, in think
ing of her sweetheart, who has just left
her, says
He said-he said l had the face of
an angel" She pauses for moment,
and then. reason getting the better of
sentiment, she eXclaims, "Oh, h" If
it were not for the innate refinement
which is shown i'm her voice as well as
the expression of her eyes this epithet
would be uncomfortable.
Olga Nethersole has brown eyes, but
when she is acting you can hardly see
any of the color, but just the whites of
her eyes, which strongly portray the
suffering that is called for in so many
of her parts.
At one time Fay Templeton used to
sing a song called Fishing" during
which she gave the idea of innocence by
a downward look, except in one line,
where, to gain the whole effect of her
song-that she was not as innocent as
she looked-Miss Templeton suddenly
opened her eyes and quickly closed them
again.
Sarah Bernhardt, who has gray eyes,
is an example of an actress who por-
trays all emotions from comedy to
tragedy and is largely helped by using
her eyes. In a similar way Mrs. Carter
is called upon to express every form of
passion in the parts she plays. Her
eyes are gray and full of fire and snap.
Maude Adams has large, pathetic
blue eyes. She is able to reduce her
matinee admirers to tears by~her ten
der pathos and to make them smile
with her delicate humor. She is largely
helped by her eyes.
The gift of intellect rather than tenn

OF Florence Roberts. But in spite of
her lack of temperamental endowment
she has succeeded because she has
worked and studied with much energy

Gertrude Coghlan has serious blue

THE coming of another dramatic
stock company to the Auditorium,
opening Christmas gives rise to
the query among theatergoers: Are
we not going it little too strong on
stock companies?
And the sane answer is: Yes.
In the Belasco company it is gem
orally admitted that Los Angeles has
the best stock organization in the
United States. Visiting actors and
managers say this freely and emphat-
ically. And they are quite as lavish
in their praise of the Burbank Or
ganization. Neither company shows
much possibility of improvement; you
cannot paint the lily, you know. Now,
these two companies, good as they
are. cannot always find enough plays
suitable for stock work to test their
fullest capacities. If, then, there are
not plays to go around with two fine
companies, why another one in the
same line? Will this not create a
still greater scarcity of suitable We
hicles and lead to mediocre efforts on
the part of some one of them at
various times?
The Auditorium is, after all, simply
another theater-and the biggest and
most aYnpnGiNa--nd daH IN 7 Apo
category. 1t must run to pay expenses
and interest. Travelling attractions of
the big sort are not sufficient to sup
ply the Mason. Ergo, it must provide
its own shows. 1t cannot play grand
opera forever.
But one can hardly see the wisdom
of breaking into a field now thorough
ly well filled-the stock drama-when
another and even better field for such
house-that of spectacular opera of
the light Order-is utterly vacant.
This town hungers for good. light
opera-shows well put on with fine
chorus, capable principals, an ade-
quate orchestra and repertoire which
contains something besides emasculat-
ed versions of Faust" Carmen" and
the like 1t hasn't had such an or
ganization, but it would support
good one. San Francisco did, when it
was neither so large nor so metropol-
itan as is Los Angeles all during the
winter, and San Francisco would do
30 today, though now smaller than
Los Angeles. could the old Tivoli
company find a home there without
the grafters taking the big end of the
money Then why not Los Angeles
1t is a puzzle to all the well-informed
why Sparks Berry can't see this. He
has the record of Kolb and Dill-cer-
tainly not in the class that he would
present, but the only available basis
of compassionate show him what can
be done. Wouldn't it he well for Mr..
Berry to heed the very general adj
vice and the strong demand and to
get wise to the situation?
Perhaps when Mr.. Berry has been
q manager for a few months he will
be more ready to feel the public pulse
on the choice of amusements and not
consult so closely his own personal
likes and dislikes.

of the cotton crop made by Mrs. Burch
last year stands out clearly as the
best issued. While some "guesses"
as to the total Of the yield came
somewhat nearer the mark, they were
haphazard shots that sometimes make
bulls eye. Taking it state by state
for the whole belt, the lady statisti-
clan" made the best balanced estimate
of the thousands that were issued.
Although everybody thought the crop
could not possibly exceed 10.300,000
and many placed 1t below 100000.
Mrs. Burch placed it at 10.979.0 900. The
bureau of statistics made an estimate
of 10,167, 900. The actual yield is now
admittedly a little more than 1000
900. So Mrs. Burch came closer to the
prod uction than her old friends In the
