Maud Allan has been writing q book
about her life and her Ganc:ng, and / am
told that she has the real literary knack.
Her 25Oth performance is to be given at
the Palace next Wednesday, and If the
book comes from the printers in time, the
occasion is to be celebrated by distribu-
ton of a copy to everyone in the audience.
This fair American has been getting. all
sorts Of big offers from home for a sea-
son OF dancing there, but London seems
to show no disposition to let her go. She
had been planning to make a tour of the
provinces after her Palace season is over;
but II can be announced here that she is
now definitely considering a particularly
attractive offer she has received from
America, and may go to New York sooner
than she had expected.

1.-The Professors Love Story" which will
be the offering at the Burwood for the
week starting this afternoon, is a comedy
by j. M. Barrie, one of the cleverest of
the present day dramatists, whose Peter
Pan and The Little Minister won for
fame and fortune in both America
and England. The play is just what the
title implies, the love story of an old pro-
lessor, but 1t is a story so unusual, and it
Is told in such a delightful way, that it
appeals to one in a far different way than
does the average stage romance. The IA
nous actor, E. S. Willard, always con-
sidered the play one of the strongest in
his repertoire; in fact, he played 1t more
times than any other comedy. The plot
has to do with Prof. Goodwillie, who is
an enthusiastic electrician, whose work
has hitherto so engrossed him that 1t hos
become his world; and, as a result, though
only a middle aged man, he looks and has
the habits of a man of 90 or 70, and lives
alone with his maiden sister, Agnes, who
Is his housekeeper and only companion.
In the first act we learn that the pro-
lessor has almost completed his greatest
book, but that for some unaecountable
reason, he is unable to give his mind to
the work. The professor, during the alb
sence Of his sister, had engaged a young
woman secretary, and unconsciously he
has fallen deeply in love with her, thus
accounting for his inability to finish his
book. Never having been through the ex-
perience before, he summons his old school
mate, DR.. Cosens, to diagnose his case.
The doctor is baffled at first, but finally
scents the truth. The rich fun which has
thus far developed is continued, with the
assistance of two or three subplots during
the three acts of this delightful comedy,
which will be found to be one of the most
charming bills yet presented by the Bur-
wood company. The week will be dis
tinctly Frank Bacnn's, as the character
Of the quaint and lovable professor is one
most admirably suited to Mr.. Bacon's
qualifications. Mr.. Bacon appeared in this
role several times in San Francisco, and
considers it exceptionally becoming to lin.
There will be matinecs today, Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.

'The Patriot" Is the name of the new
three act farce in which Charles Frohman
will present William Collier at the Boyd
theater tonight, Monday and Tuesday
with a matinee Tuesday afternoon. The
appropriateness of the title will be readily
appreciated when one sees the play comedy.
As a title The Patriot is not unusual,
As a matter Of fact it has been used on
more than one occasion i'm this country
and abroad. II was used for the first time
in this country on June II, 1894, when "The
Patriot or Love in Camp being the second
part OF THE Poor Soldier" a musical
play was produced at the John Street
theater in New York, when that famous
play house, the second built as a home
for the drama in this country, was under

Ing well known at hJm- except be hca--

at her own expense for several weeks one
Of the most spacious and beautiful-and

Is too early yet to say whether she will
manage 10 carry so heavy a load on her
slender young shoulders, but II the en-
thusiasm Of the first night audience at
tbs Scala on Thursday. and the dis
eliminating praise OF the critics Is any
criterion, she is going to win out, in spite
Of the fact that her dances are rather
more serious-minded than any we have
seen before.
Ruth st. Denis story has been much
like that of 1sadora Duncan. She gave a
few performances in America two years
ago and won more critical attention than
sheckels. Then she tried 1t in London
with the same result. Then she went to
Paris and suddenly found herself famous.
Berlin. Vienna and the other continental
capitals took her up, and made a ire
mendous to do over her. and now after
winding up her continental season in
Wiesbaden last June, she is getting her
belated reward in England, and next
spring she will probably try her luck in her
native land.
Miss st. Denis is a slim, 1.-THE. thought
full girl who takes her art seriously. and
has original ideas. No pirouetting and
conventional flouncings for her. Il want, A"
said she to the writer, ito express in terms
Of rhythm and gesture the real spirit of the
Orient, and especially Oriental religion.
The Hindu dances l give now are only
the beginning Of what l want to do in the
future in representing eastern religious
ideas, for II is in the Orient that the dance
is recognized as one OF the highest ex-
pressions Of religious feeling. 1t is neces-
sary for me to be, for the time, a devout
Brahmin or l cannot do justice to such OF
my dances as are of a religious nature.

express the sentiments 1 want to express
except in the right surroundings, and If
l go to New York 1 want to appear there

Miss Allan and Miss Duncan chiefly
convey musical ideas in motion, and l
try to convey another kind of idea, but
it Is significant that in every case to
reach what seems to be the highest ex-
preston of the art Of dancing, one must
always represent an abstract idea, rather
than represent some particular person.

to satisfy even people in stageland. She
began life as a poultry farmer in the Mid

self-using poultry farm terms-into an
artists model. This latter career did not
suit her and she went to oxford where she
secured a triumph and took honors in
modern languages. All this, mind you,
