The troubles of Anna Gould, broken
out afresh in Paris, are beginning to
pail on the New York public. The
cables from Paris that have in former
years been read with avidity by the
scandalmongers in New York society
are now received with derision. Anna
, Gould became the object of ridicule
when she divorced count de Castellane
to marry a roue, but now that the
cables convey grave hints of immoral
conduct and divorce there is a feeling
of disgust A brief dispatch from Paris
stating that the couple had a fad or
collecting books that had been barred

road, and Miss Bates, here at the Stuy-
Vesant, are playing 10 crowded houses,
while Mrs. Fiske in her new play, sal
vation Nell" has scored a great success.
In this play, that opened Tuesday night
at the Hackett theater, Mrs. Fiske
plays the part of a scrubwoman in a
saloon. This drama of the seamy side
of New York life is The first work of a
young author, Harvard graduate, Ed
I re
! the Hells Kitchen district in the upper
west side and the Cherry hill district
of the lower east side. The play is in
tended to reflect the actual life of the
under world without laying stress on
its misery, but showing its joys and its
! lighter moments as plainly as the
darker side. Salvation Nell" presents
no religious or sociological problem.
/ Mrs. Fiske has the role of a poor crea-
ture without the knowledge of right or
wrong, who loves a man of low and
! brutal instincts with the loyalty of a
dumb beast. That beauty and truth and
/ knowledge can spring from the most
I ignoble and commonplace in life is the
/ theme developed by the author. There
are nearly SO speaking parts in the
caste and the Manhattan company was
reorganiZed with an eye to making the
great variety of types as real as pos
sible. Holbrook Blinn is Mrs. Fiske's S
/ leading man. He is former San Fran
cisco boy, son of Mrs. Holbrook Blinn,
the authoress.
