THE THEAT E R.
"a sz-sA
BelaSco,

One of the prettiest bits of acting that
Miss Charlotte Walker has done during her
gagement at the Be.asco was seen last
night in her Cousin Kate, in the comedy of
that name by Hubert Henry Davies. The
role fitted the actress like a glove, or she
fitted herself to it that it appeared to
have been made for her No recollections
of Miss Barrymore's Interpretation of the
part, which she created in this country.
need have disturbed the audience, for Miss
Walker last night made it h.r own, p aging
the worldly wise novelist, burdened win
the emotional intensity of the g.rl, with a
fineness of perception and dehcacy OF
analysis that brought out the most excellent
points of her talent. Here was no oppor-
tunity for shrieks and tearing hearts 10
tatters, nor was there temptation TO Stalk
stiff-legged with the tragic muse. 1t is IN
characters like that which she portrayed
last night that Miss Walker has galned
what eminence she has attained in her pro-
fession and won the hearts of her admirers.
AS Wonanly woman, her face rehecting
every shade of feminine emotion, without
the beguiling charm of meretriclous mre,
her Cousin Kate left little to be desired
and seemed a fit role for the actress WAC
has lodged herself so securely in the affec-
lions of Washington playsoers. Into what
mold Mr.. BelaSco will cast her is problem
for himself.

DOGS.

Editor Southern Planter: Il have lived
In old Virginia nearly four years and
have been raising poultry ever since /
came here. l find the climate ideal, the
soil and water excellent, market fairly
good, shipping facilities splendid and
everything all that any one could de-
sire. We can have green pastures for
our focks practically every day in the
year. Crimson clover, rye, oats, wheat,
turnips and cabbage will all endure the
winters without injury, while red clover
and alfalfa can be seeded in early Au-
gust to make an ideal range for the hens
for winter.
There is but one drawback to poultry
raising in Virginia and this is a serious
one. [ refer to the great number of
worthless, half-famished dogs that
roam at will over our yards and fields
chasing and destroying everything
within their reach-eggs, chicks, hens.
turkey eggs, young turkeys, ducks.
ducklings, all fall victims to the lean.
lank, hungry, pack of worthless:curs. /
have lost hundreds of dollars worth of
eggs, chicks and turkeys in the past
four seasons, and in but one instance
could recover pay for the fowls des-
