Stray Bits of Gossip
About Plays and Players

One of the biggest hits Of the present
vaudeville season has been made by
Grace Hazard. a young Washington girl
who is now playing upon the Keith cir
cult in The East. Miss Hazard viii BE
pleasantly remembered as the Contrary
Mary in Babes i'm Toyland." which
played the National Theater here last
fall. Financial reverses overlook the
Toyland organization in the Canadian
viIds and after the Management fell be-
hind in Miss Hazards salary over the
three figure mark she gave her notice"
and left the company. Two weeks after
her departure the company stranded.
Rather than run the risk of another ex-
perience of that sort Miss Hazard came
home to Washington and prepared a
vaudeville act which she invented her
self. This is called Five Feet of Comic
Opera" ana is pronounced by those who
have seen it one Of the cleverest and
most novel features OF the present
theatrical year. During the fifteen min
utes she occupies the stage Miss Hazard
appears in no less than eight character
cations from well-knOwn comic operas
and sings a familiar song from each.
She remains on the stage in fun view OF
the audience while making the changes
from one character TO another ana al
though everything IS apparently simple
enough when done by the clever little
actress, the audience finds il hard 20
understand how she manages to make
clothes for Zeriina out Of those that
Sernolette had on the moment before. or
how Serena gets the garments that
Yum Yum wore. Miss Hazards singing
OF old faVorites like 4 Dreamt / Dwell
in Marble Halls "On 1onder Rock Re
Ginning" the sleighing song from .'Fati-
nitza and the soldier song from
sCrand Duchess" all make hits.

It is my personal fortune TO have seen
Miss Terry first as Beatrice. IL has
been my fortune since TO have seen her
in many roles-my regret that l have
not seen her In all that she has done,
AS 1 said last Tuesday though the roles
have differed greatly the one from the
ether. they have all been charming, in
fused with the most deliciously blithe
personality the stage has known, and
after each one have told myself, This
can't be acting: it must be exactly the
sort of woman Mss Terry is" And
that after all is the perfection of art.
Friday night for the first time that
was not TO be said. No one told himself
Chat the old Dutch fish wife was exactly
the sort Of woman Miss Terry must
really be. Every one knew that it
wasn't. She could not entirely lay
aside her own beloved personality for
that of its absolute antthesis-Kniertje,
the widow Of a Dutch fisherman. She
brought all her art to the task, and her
art achieved much. No one else, per-
haps. could have painted the character
so wildly. but after all. it was merely
q painting Il was not the living crea-
ture. Some Of the others were better
able to get into the skins of their parts
than Miss Terry. She makes a Iovablc
enough picture of Dutch matrOnEness of
II, but the soTdidness, the stOlidity of

natural bent. so absolutely OHeaven be
praised for it, without the boundaries
OF her artistic tendencies that in spite
OF its moments of thrill. il failed of con-
viction. For il is the real Ellen Terry
the wonderful wOmanliness and sin
eerity. the tenderness, the Scnsibility
the bubbling mischief the sweet dignity,
the joyous humor, the absolutely mex
haustible vitality, shining through her
work. through every character she has
assumed that makes up her irresistible
charm. and has won her her place not
merely i'm the admiration but in the
affection of the English and American
public.
Frankly. this trip has added nothing
TO her reputation. Perhaps il C0uldn [.

Brooks has reviewed the Conried pro-
auctions from the viewpoint Of a con-
siderable musical knowledge and a wide
musical experience. But. as for me, all
things consideTed-give me the Savage
production.
Give me my opera in English that 1
may know what Il is about Give me
nv opera at something like a reason
able price And--it is unreasonable Of
course-but give me even opera reason
ably well acted. The only point to my
mind in which the COnried performance
was TO be preferred over the Savage
performance was in Caruso's voice Mr.
Savage has no tenor who is within a
thousand miles of CarusO vocally, but
he has two singing the part who are at
least a hundred miles ahead OF Caruso
dramatically. And while Miss Farrar
really did act the Butterfly as well as
sing it-really did some remarkable act
ing foI a pTima donna, il seems 10 me
that as an actress Szamosy wins in a
walk Equally. while Stracciari both
looked and played SharpleSs very well
for a grand opera singer-the late Win
fred Goff. who was. to my mind, the
best actor singing grand opera, did it
much better.
II that be treason, make the most Of
IL.
It Is said, by the way, that Puccinl.

already at work on new opera. and
that Henry W Savage has already Sc
cured the contract for the American
