"TUBNED UP"

One of the most amusing of the many hilariously funny situations in Turned Up,' which Polls stock com pany is playing at the Jacques, comes in the first act, where Captain Med ways dusky bride appears on the scene The captain has married her unknowingly in southern port and tries to avoid her. She follows him from a distant country, however, and her advent to his house creates an up- roar which throws his son and wife and guests almost into Mysteries. The company does fine work in the farce comedy and not since the merry days of vaudeville has there been so much laughter at the Jacques. The comedy is we'll worth seeing. and the theater is cool and comfortable. Souvenir photographs of Miss Jane Tree will be distributed at Fridays matinee. Popular prices. ..'

ELLEN TERRY IN A BLANKET. Her Dancing Master Made Her Walk
 With If Trailing in Front.

One of the most wearisome yet es- sential details of my education writes Ellen Terry in McClure's is connected with my first long dress. Il introduces too Oscar Byrn, the dane. ing master and director of crowds at the Princess.
 One of his lessons was in the art of walking with a flannel blanket pinned on in front and trailing six inches on the floor. My success in carrying out his manuev with dignity won high praise from Mir Byrn.
 He often used to say that "an ac. tress was no actress. unless she learn- ed to dance early" and whenever he was not actually putting me through my paces I was busy watching him teach the others.
 There was a minuet to which he used to attach great importance and there was walking the plank" Up and down one of the long blanks. ex- tending the length of the stage We had to walk. first slowly and then quicker until we were able at a con- siderable pace 10 walk the whole length of 1t without deviating an inch from a straight line. This ex- perience Mir Byrn used to say and quite truly. I think. taught us up- rightness of carriage and certainly of step.
 Eyes riehtl Chest out, Chin tucked in!" can hear the dear old man shouting at us as if 1t were yes terday and have learned to see how valuable all hls drilling was. not only to department but to clear ut terance. It would not be bad thing If there were more "old fops" like Oscar Byrn in the theaters to-day. That old fashioned art of -deport- ment% is sadly neglected
