ORRIN JOHNSON'S CAREER.
PIaygOers Kept in Touch w.t.. Lives
of Stage Folk.

Pl8ygOars are always interested in the
stage careers of their favoTite actors and
actresses. and it is to this end that so
much spare is given in The Herald to the
telling of what this or that actor has
done. in what particular plays this actress
or that dancer has appeared thus per-
mitting the serious patrons of amuse-
menJ an opportunity 10 keep in close
touch with the advancement Of the artist
An interesting career is that Of OTrin

NINE. KALICH'S SUCCESS.

Vile. Ky

Bertha KaHch achieved a veritabIe
triumph in Louisville. where she had not
before been seen. in Marta Of the Low
lands adding that critical city to the
list that has declared her 70 be one Of the
greatest Of contemporary actresses.
Nine. kalich appeared In Louisville az
the Mary Anderson Theater. on evenings
that intervened between the regular
vaudeville performances there, fulfilling a
contract which the Louisville newspapers
say was happily in the interests OF drama
lovers of that city This fortuitous
break in the vaudeville programme is re-
sDonsible for having given LouisyiUs
theatergoers the greatest dramatic treat
since Sarah BeTnhardt appeared here
says the Louisville Herald. which adds:
Bertha Kalich has not talent. but genius.
Hers is the divine fire Of the born artist.
She is not merely good, she IS great
transcending the average attainment IN
possessing that magic something that
cannot be won by toll and pains and
patience. but is bestowed by the gods on
whom they viii. And Marta OF the Low
lands in itself is powerful and suited ID
her gifts. 1t is without a false note in
its construction The company. too Is

OF Nine, Kalich, the Evening Post says
that ''her triumph was one Of the most
genuine and complete ever accorded TO an
actress in this city. Her work was a
revelation and a pleasure and her en-
gagement should greatly Eiden her circle
of admirers" Speaking of Marta OF the
Lowlands," the same critic says: The
theme Of the drama, In its psychological
significance, is the infinite power Of love

expanded outlook when she feels that in
the humble shepherd she has something

by Nine. Kalich. She IS suited in every
way TO the part. Her dark eyes. full OF

her the ideal Marta"

A NEW STEVENSON LETTER.
written TO Marion Crawford from

There recently came 70 llsht a hitneT-

The postmark on the envelope reads
April l5 1890. and the note was sent from
Sydney New South Wales II will be
remembered that about this tine Ste
venson was settling down to a permanent
residence in Samoa. One word in the
letter is illegible, and is, in the reprint,

following Is the tribute that the ardent

had inspired his admiration:

Do YOU suppose it is generally known, -
said one of the leading booksellers OF the
country the other day. that the greatest
readers Of detective stories are lawyers
and doctors? Why the two are associated
cannot say, nor, for that matter, why il
should be true Of either one but that is
the fact. Perhaps it is not SO remarkable
in the case of the lawyer. whose elientage
must often involve detective problems.
but the doctor must have reasons OF his
own. The probability is that neither one
is looking for stimulus. but for relaxa-
ton of the rare sort that wakes you up
