There is no actress on the stage to-

docs in the estimation of the theatre
going public. Tile admiration In which
she is held may, perhaps, best be de-
scrihed as i. species of idolatry. Her
worshipers, 1t is more than probable,
could not tell you why they bowed low
ut her shrine. Half the women who
were questioned on the subject would
waive all explanation by the ejacula-
ton: oh. she is so cute In other
words. they mean to convey the idea
that it is her personality that IS so
attractive. Beyond Il doubt, Miss Ad-
ams's great success is due in large
;spart to -har personality. which has won
for her the, support of theatre patrons
all over the country. Among women,
Miss Adams is even more popular than
among men, and this applies to nearly
every actress whose personality has a
great deal to do with her vogue.
All such are matinee favorites, and
caramels are at a premium on the
