Adams. was performed on the stage of
the Empire theater, New York, to au-

what was never expected-she broke
the record of the Empire theater by

The cast and production of Peter

detail exactly the same as those which
were seen at the Empire theater in

"You playerfolk don't seem to like
the nonprofessional husband of an
actress"
This Husband Is Human
"We don't. unless he is unobtrusive
and self-suporting. In the Lambs
club the man who nlarries an actress
and lives on her earnings is usually
alluded to as the human husband.
Which means?"
Il have never heard the meaning
defined, but | presume it relates to
his docility-his subservience-as a
spouse"
He told me. about society girl
who married a businessman and be-
came an actress after he became a
bankrupt Both of them carried their
society tricks and manners into
stageland, with the result that the
lady's career as a histrion soon came
to an inglorious end
"She acted as an amateur" Fraw-
ley narrated. "and when she applied
to me for position | happened to
need a second woman, so after test
ing her talent, / engaged her. The
other women in the company re-

she turned UP her nose at them
When they realized that she regarded

most distinguished of my ancestors

president of the United tSates."
WAS she telling the truth?"
Indeed she was. and the disclosure
came as news to all of us. The
naughty lady began to thaw, but her
silly hauteur had gone too far, and
the women enforced the exclusivcness
that she had sought. So when her hus-
hand came to me and complained oi

faithful to their professional duties
and have time for indulgence in the
little politics of which society life is
largely made up. He took her away =

La Tosca," the celebrated Sardou
drama with Nance O'Neil In the leading
role. will be the attraction at the Lib
erty playhouse this week. The part has
been attempted by nearly ali the emo
tf0nal actresses since Ii was given
forth by Sardou's fertile brain. the late
Fanny Davenport having made IL fam
GUS throughout this country. and in no
role does the art Of Nance o Neil come
to the surface more strikingly than as
Floria La Tosca- She has played II
many times In this city. always with
the greatest success. One OF the
charming features of the play Is that it
allows her to wear some gowns which
for cost and elegance are said to equal
any worn on the stage.
Miss O'Neil will be supported in la
Tosca" by carefully selected cast. and
the production will be all that could be

Mrs. Fiske and the Manhattan COM
pany, after long run in New York,
will appear at the Colonial theater this
week in THE New York Idea." a play
that tells in satiric vein story of
present day New York life in Gotham.
It's author is Langdon Mitchell, who
adapted Becky Sharp" for Mrs. Fiske
from Thackeray's Vanity Fair"
"The New York Idea" deals with the
divorce question. 1t holds up to ridf-
cule the absurd complications that re-
suit from rushing into marriage and
rushing out of it through the divorce
court. Follow your whim (for mani
and leave the rest to the divorce court"
is given as the New York idea The
means of handling this question or con-
dition has been found by Mr.. Mitchell
in having two couples divorced. and
having one of the divorced women
about to marry tho divorced husband
of the other woman.
The cast supporting Mrs. Fiske will
include John Mason. George Arliss.
Charles Harbury. Robert c. Ferguson.

exchanged glares of hatred, shifts of
contempt and snorts of defiance,
thus distracting the attention of the
company from the work in hand and
prompting their respective daughters

He wiped his brow.
I'VE were in Minneapolis at the
time" he resumed, "and the first thing
/ knew those two mothers had the
community split into factions by max
ing sectional issue of their rivalry"
"A sectional issue?"
A Clashing of Claques
"Yes--north versus south. One of
the mammas had been prominent in
the society of a Mississippi town and
by some subtle means she created an
impression among the southerners in
Minneapolis that her daughter was
Disseminated against and otherwise
prosecuted because her father had
fought for the confederacy. Her sup
porters came TO the theater in focks
and applauded her daughter. Then
the other mamma rallied the federal
forces, so to speak, and prompted
counter demonstrations in favor of her
daughter"
1.-THE battle of the mammas must
have been good for the box Office" I
remarked.
"It was" Mr.. Frawley sighed, "but
business had to be sacrificed in the
interest of peace preservation. The
conflict threatened to destroy disci-
pline in the company, and to get rid
of her mamma I was forced to dis
miss one of the prcttiest and most

IF he comes out OF society, yes.
An actor who WEEDS an actress

discomfort, but the outsider who mar
