The two first named especially have
excellent voices well trained ana were
repeatedly encored. Altogether ,he

audience was evidently will pleased.

When Henry Woodruff came out of
the Princess theatre one day last Aug
ust, after rehearsal OF The Prince of
Tonight, he was welcomed by a throng
of admiring friends and stopped to
chat with them under large umbrella.
II am thinking" said Woodruff, "of
adding a funny fall in the biz in the
third act where step out of the tree
and come down on the table. A good,
old-fashioned rolling fall would add to
the fun of the situation"
At this moment Mr.. Woodruff's sole
slid upon a wet, glossy piece of side
walk. He spread his feet like the sails
of a windmill; he flung his hands on
high and clawed the heavens with his
umbrella; he emitted a wild, awe-in-
spring wall of terror, and he came
down on his pantlnes like a ton of
rocks on an over-ripe tomato. Trying
to scramble UP, he lost himself COM
pletely. rolled into large lake of rain
water and pushed his dear, darling,
round-checked face against the legs of
a horse anchored beside the curb.
Not soul moved to assist Mr. Wood
ruff Nobody offered to help him up
or even to sympathize with him. Roar
after roar of delighted laughter and
shouts OF applause went up from the
gathering and several voices shouted
Great Henry, great! well fell, old
chap! best fall ever saw. Hit of
the show, sure, Henry; you can't beat
It," Keep 1t in" said Mort Singer,
'it's funnier than anything I ever saw
you do"
The little gathering thought Mr.,
woodruff was showing them the funny
fall he intended to add to his present
repertoire.
One often hears of society girls
and of other young women, who, ignor-
ant of anything save the glamor of the
theatre, leave comfortable homes to go
on the stage, but 1t Is rather unusual
to find an actress after seven years of
hard experience continuing with her
career through choice. Grace George
who comes to the Fargo operahouse
before the close of the present season
is the wife of William A. Brady, an
exceedingly wealthy and prosperous
manager, and yet she elects to keep up
her battle for accomplishment in the
histrionic field.
Miss George married Mr.. Brady
shortly after she had begun touring
under his direction. The intimates of
both declare that he shared with the
husband OF Julia Arthur the hope that
his wife would retire from professional
life The hope was intensified by the
fact that Miss George is rather frail
Despite these things Miss George re-
fused to abandon her work or even to
have 1t Iightened. She loves the thea
tire and it's atmosphere and spends
much time there unnecessarily. She
devotes every spare moment to study
ing subjects concerning her profession
and is an enthusiastic collector Of
theatrical manuscripts and program.

Mr.. and Mrs Brady have a charming
home in Central Park, Vest, New York
and this they abandon during the bet
ter part of the season for doubtful
hotels in the inevitable small towns ant
for the cold comforts Of hostelries il
