YOUTH IS NO BAR
TO HER SUCCESS
MAuDE FEALY HAS INTERESTING
CAREER
One of the Youngest Stars on Ameri-
can Stage: She Has Played
Leading Roles with
Irving

When the announcement was first made
that Maude Fealy had been chosen by
the late Sir Henry Irving to succeed Ce-
celia Lotus and Ellen Terry in his mag
rificent company it created a furore OF
discussion on both sides of the Atlantic.
There could hardly have been a ques-
tion of her ability however, for she had
already distinguished herself with Will
liam Gillette, E. S. Willard and others
but the much-mooted question appeared
to be whether she was in reality to be
the leading lady in his extensive roper
toire, or had only been secured to enact
especial roles best fitting her extreme
youth.
The controversy finally reached the
ears of Sir Henry himself who to set
at rest the minds of all interested pub
lic.y made the announcement that she
was not to play any particular style OF
parts, but was to portray the leading
feminine roles il all his productions. That
she fulfilled this requirement is now a
matter of stage history, for she ap-
peared with distinction in a lonC line OF
characters in his support. with one ex-
ception1that of Portia in The Merchant
of Venice" which she herself declined
to essay feeling reticence toward at
tempting the role on account OF her
youth and inexperience.
1t is said that Sir Henrys disappoint-
ment over her decision was Keen as ne
felt she would lend a new atmosphere
to a part that had always fallen to the
lot of actresses of greater years.
Miss Fealy's decision was. however,
highly commended by the London press
which fully appreciated the modesty OF
this gifted young actress-then only Il
years of age-who. though having scored
notably in other prominent roles, felt a
hesitancy toward placing herself in the
limelight of comparison with the worlds
greatest actresses-contempor and
otherwise.
Maude Fealy remained one year and
a half with the famous English actor,
supporting him with credit and to the
full satisfaction of the most conservative
English theatergoers.

A pretty little fawn placed on
display in cage in front Of one of
the confectionery stores of Baton
Rouge, and which has attracted a
great amount Of attention during the
past few days, has disappeared, and
it will not be on display again, and
none Of it's kind in the very near
future. While it is hardly prob
able that the grand jury will indict
any of the parties who had the fawn,
as the game law of the state was
violated with all innocence, the par
ties not knowing that it was against
the law to have this fawn in captivity
still those who had the fawn have
been worried over the possibility of
getting into trouble. Several days
ago a farmer in Livingston Parish
heard number Of dogs after an
animal, and, making an investigation,
found that they had young fawn at
bay. He captured it, took it home,
and finally brought it to the city
and gave it to Mr.. Tobias, who sent
it out to one of the confectioneries.
Gagged as it was, and placed in front
of the store, the animal attracted
much attention, until officers came
along and informed the parties that
they were violating the game laws
Of the state and were liable for in
dictment, when the fawn vanished.
