of the American stage and one Of which
we may well boast 1t calls forth every
phase OF Mrs. FIske IS wonderfully wide
and delicate art; makes demands upon
the supporting company that few, if any
organization other than the Manhattan
company could meet and as an example
of perfection In stage management and
production, stands among the most not
able achievements Of recent years.
Probably the most vivid stage picture
that has been seen in this country Is
the famous ball room at Brussels in
Becky Sharp. Much of the romance of
the NapoleonIc wars centered about the
memorable function at which the pride
of English soldiery danced the morning
in while waiting for news of the arch
enemy. The military uniforms Of the
period were the most brilliant in color
ing that the army had ever known and
the toilets Of the ladies were in ex-
travagant keeping. ALL the civilized
world was military and pomp and cere-
mony had reached the extreme. The
picture itself. tb. massive ball room,
the spectacle within, the unending
dance, the orderlIes rushing to and fro,
the stealthy, careworn aids carrying or
ders among Wellington s generals, the
nonchalance Of the officers anxious only
to conceal their concern from the la
dies, and finally the distant rumble OF
Napoleon's 's guns. the resounding blasts
of the assembly bugles. the farewels of
the officers, the anguish of the women,
who knew in their hearts that Napoleon
had returned from Elba to fight to the
death with their loved oItes.
How splendidly Mr.. and Mrs. Fiske
stage this scene is now matter OF
American stage history. II was reve-

uralness. Rarely has there been SO
perfect an exhibition Of stage direction
and discretion and that the interpretive
excellence of the cast is equal in every
way to the spectacular effectiveness of
the production is proven by the fact
that the present Manhattan company
has been continuously hailed since its
debut during Mrs. Fislee's spring en-
gagement at the Lyceum thcater. New
York, as the most perfect body Of play
ers ever banded together in this coun-
try. Additional proof of the capacity
