I When Arthur jerome Eddy OF Chicago
wrote his great novel. Cantor & Co." he
had nc idea that the book would be seized
upon for its ramsti value, and when the
artist, in illustrating the narrative, pic
tured the central character, John Canton,
he never dreamed that his conception of
this man would be reflected upon the
stage just as II appeared upon the printed
page. Persons who have read this novel
and who are familiar with the illustrations
will be almost startled at the remarkable
manner in which Mr.. George Fawcett inn
personates the character Of John Ganton
In the play, The Great John Canton, -
which comes to the Burwood in the near
future. The actor looks as II he had
stepped from between the covers of the
book, and yet he appears practically with
out makeup. 1t is likely that Mr.. Faw-
cett's great resemblance TO this book char
acter suggested to the Messrs. Shubert his
selection for the title role in the play. Mr..
Fawcett's successes have been many,
notably his part Of James Phelan, the
alderman, in The Man of the Hour" and
Big Bill in 'The Squaw Man" This latter
part won for him a distinction in London
theaters that has been obtained by few
American stars.

THE people of the stage are becoming

is the verdict of Miss Viola Gillette, a
prominent member of The Beauty Spot
company which opens at the Burwood
theater this evening for the entire week.
Broadway, the headquarters Of the actors
Of this country continues this charming
actress, 'Is more like q main street of an
inland village in the summer time than 1t

performers. Now 60 up and down its en-
tire length any summer afternoon and you
will find it entirely deserted but for the
unfortunate ones who are in immediate
need OF a summer engagement. Where are
all the thousands Of idle actors? The
question Is indeed a puzzler to the initiated.
It's answer can be found in nearly every
rural district where the stage folks are
summering on their farms, in their bunga
lows or camping out. Everywhere the
spirit of domesticity is rampant and the
modern actress is at no time more con-
tented than when experimenting the house

she how humble 1t is-she may have lived
in palatial hotels all the season, but to her
the simple cottage of the vacation period
with herself thu mistress, is far more in
viting than any royal suite in a six-dollar-
a-day hosiery. Possibly 1t is the very
contrast that makes It attractive, or, per-
haps, it is the sense of proprietorship, who
can tell, but the fact remains that con.
tentment such as she has never found In
the glamor OF the footlight rests in hel
