Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the great
est of English actresses, after a brief
engagement in New York city, is now
touring through the west and will
Grand In this city on Thursday night
next, when she will present one of
her greatest successes, THE Second
Mrs. Tanqueray."
Both from a dramatic and social
point of view the engagement may be
reckoned the most interesting. of the
season. Despite the efforts of sensa-
ton mongers, Mrs. Patrick Campbell
is in reality far from what she has
been made to appear in print. She
is an actress of the most delicate and
subtle art, a woman of great person.
al beauty, and a wit that can COM
mand any London salon. Upon these
qualities alone depend her enormous
popularity with the general public as
well as her success in the upper cir
Giles of society On her present visit
Mrs. Campbell will bring with her
Miss Stella Patrick Campbell, her
beautiful young daughter. Miss
Campbell who Is still in her teens is
now making her professional debut in
this country under the tutelage of her
brilliant mother. Miss Campbell has
been a great social favorite in Eng
land and has been made to study va
rious arts, including music and paint
ing, DO1OIS BIC was dl1OWcO " IOllOW
in her mothers footsteps During
Mrs. Campbelrs career she has travel
ed in many weird and poetic lands.
Some of her experiments have failed
as a whole but her own hold on pop
ularity has grown In everything she
has done.
Boston has shown her appreciation
of her art by throwing open for the
first time in history its temple of mu-
sic, Symphony hall, to Mrs. Campbell
and her company, for three perform
ances of Sudermann and IbSen plays.
There can be no doubt but that Mrs
Campbells appearance in this city
will be an equally important event
from every point of view.

Madge Douglass, Who Will Be Seen in
"Way Down East"

Age does not wither nor custom
stale" its infinite variety and no
further proof of its undying powers to
please is needed than the fact that To-
cal managers everywhere still regard
1t among their gilt-edged bookings. The
fact that it appeals to no limited class,
but to all alike, gives it a universal
audience, and its quaint pictures of ru-
raj life, inoffensive comedy and homely
honest sentiment touch the hearts of
all Under the circumstances it seems
useless to speculate upon the day when
this familiar story will ever lose it's
potency.
Anna Moore, the central character of
Way Down East has perhaps re-
ceived from the public more sympa-
thetic expressions Of heartfelt regrets
over her treatment than any character
of fiction of modern times. Her sim
pie story, her grief and anguish, her
spirited denunciation of the man who
took advantage of her innocence, her
triumph and the prospect of peace
and happiness for her as the curtain
falls, all go to make up pretty, I'M
affected and direct play.
May Robson.
In the forthcoming production of
1.-THE Regeneration of Aunt Mary
which L. S. Sire will present at the
Grand on Wednesday next, local thea
tergoers will have an opportunity of
seeing the we'll known character ac-
tress, May Robson, in the title role of
Aunt Mary. This will be the first time
here for this new American comedy.
The production is complete in every de-
