ing, and above all indescribably inti-
mate; and preceding that her scene
with Sam Wright brought into play
her gently admonitory attitude as ex-
pressed in her voice, recurring from
time to time like a haunting theme in
an opera, with a final hint of ominous
presentment in I'm Afraid of You"
That fine restraint which is evident
in Miss Anglin's treatment of the part
finds trenchant exemplification in the
second act In her rebuke of Benjamin
Wright with it's torrent of staccato ac-
cents yet never seeming to rise above
a half-voice. Will anyone else, who
may venture to play the part resist the
temptation to make of it the conven-
tional tearing to tatters of passion
of vituperation? Especially strong are
the memorable interview with Pryor
in the third act, the momentary weak
ening of her resistance, and later the
crux of the play when he mentions the
impossibility of taking David with
her; the flash of silent amazement,
minus the outburst of the conventional
emotionalist, but with a poignant look
and-"You don't suppose that I would
leave Davidr. Miss Anglin gripped
us, step by step, to her scene with DR..
Lavendar with its beginning of simu-
lated f1uency and self-possession to
conceal her anguish-always one of
Miss Anglin's most convincing mo-
ments-and ending with her mute sign
of negation when DR.. Lavendar asks
her if she can do the child any good.
From the fourth act there stands out
Helena's giving of the list of David's
small needs to Dr. Lavendar as mo-
ment of ineffable sweetness. The simple
directness of Miss Anglin's reading OF
the few lines and the gentle melan-
choly of her presence linger in the
memory.
Whatever honors may accrue from
her future endeavors, however rich in
distinction her present high place may
become so long as the sense of beauty
and truth in life and act exist the
memory of Miss Anglin's Helena
Richie must be amaranthine.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-03

It is in the nature of evolution that
each succeeding creation of Miss Ang-
Inns should be her finest. When she
played Mrs. Dane we recognized her
to be an actress of remarkable force
and sympathetic appeal; when she
played some intermediate parts and
"Zira" we concluded that If placed in
an interesting situation in domestic
life on the stage Miss Anglin could be
relied upon to bring the utmost of
keenest sensibility, pathos and emo
tional intensity to bear upon its enact
ment; and when she gave us Ruth
Jordan these gifts remained with her.
supplemented by a psychological in
sight into feminine character that pro-
claimed Miss Anglin an artist of the
first rank with a flavor of genius un-
deniably her own. And yet not even
her achievements in the past led us
to expect that her powers would have
reached their present rich fruition in
the comparatively brief period since
Miss Anglin's last appearance here.
The actor of ordinary ability reads
part, emphasizes in his mind certain
salient points to be made and proceeds
in the playing of the role to make those
points with more or less effect, leav-
ing the other matter to take care of
itself, whereas to Miss Anglin every
speech, every sentence is a point and
so unerring is her dramatic judgment
and so nice is her technic in its Ian
cet-like precision that one feels In
watching her play that chain were
being welded, link by link, before ones
eyes. That thought never leaves the
spectator who witnessed "The Awak-
ening of Helena Richie" The four acts
comprise a veritable quadrant of a
woman's soul and Miss Anglin de-
picts Helena's regeneration with
steady, admirable strokes, filing in the
detail with a variety of tender lights
and shadows.
She has never done anything finer

act in which Helena is in turn ar

the joyous strain of greeting, and saw
the hand clasp of meeting friends. Two
tears coursed slowly down the woman's
pale cheeks. Dennis said a few low
ing words, and tenderly wiped them
away.

"Oh, hurry, hurry" said Norah, "its
on the knees of me heart I'm travelin'

do you see now for yourself, do you
see?"
But Terence was more interested in
looking at Norah and thinking how
like wild rose the pink color of her
cheeks was at that moment.
And he hung back that she might
welcome her old people first herself,
but when he had taken one look he
went white to the lips.

where's the old folks as ye was ex-

For several miles the road passes

but by disease
At last we reached the shores of
Tenaya lake, most beautiful of all the
lakes we saw. Here we slept one night.
The next day we started early, followed
the road for many miles, then took the
trail for Yosemite point. All day we
walked through a magnificent forest.
At brief intervals were meadows lus-
cious with grasses and flowers. When
at last we stood at the point and
looked upon that wondrous valley with
the afternoon sun aslant upon its
prodigious cliffs, all the wonders OF
the past few days sank into their true
perspective and we exclaimed together:

Re-Submission

Governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed" ,"
says the Declaration of Independence.
We hope that the professional work
ers for the cause of temperance, will
read that venerable document between
now and January l. 1t might save
them from making some very big
blunders.
Current press dispatches indicate
that the opponents of resubmission
propose to keep up their fight before
the next Legislature. Every friend OF
real temperance will save his energies
for the proper battle-ground, the polls
in September 1911. The people OF
Maine have spoken as distinctly as a
complex form of government makes
possible. The result of the September
election is but another confirmation
of the Declaration of independence
No faction can stand against the basic
principles of that document, and sur
vive the wrath of the American peo-
pie.
Resubmisson and license are two
separate and distinct issues. Thous,
ands who favor the first will fight
the second to the bitter end. If the
friends of the prohibitory law meet
the issue like men, then every gooo
citizen must concede that it rests upor
the consent of the governed. The
question of enforcement can easily bs
handled as it has been in Somerse
county.
