Mrs. E. L. Perras arrived home on

The tracks and cuts have been in a

Old Man Hare.

John Hare, the eminent English
actor-manager, said that the most de-
llghtful compliment he ever received
was from Mr.. Gladstone. 1t was a
double-ended compliment Whichever
way you took it it was satisfactory.
MT. Hare earned fame playing old
mems parts, his character as Mr.. Gold
by in "A Pair of Spectacles" being
good example. Added to this was .
horror of having his picture taken.
MT. Gladstone had never seen a pic
lure OF the actor, but he knew him
well behind the scenes as well as be-
lore the footlights. The premier's IA
Vorlte play was "a Pair of Spectacles,"
and he always went behind the scenes
10 chat while with the actor. The
really old man and the made-up old
man would sit there and talk in the
most delightful way for an hour after
the show.
One day the Earl of Rosebery had
Mr.. Gladstone to dinner, and he also
invited his friend John Hare. The
actor came in smooth-shaved, looking
ABOUT thirty-five. He was presented to
MT. Gladstone, and the prime minister
shook his hand most cordially and
said:

1t took the whole evening for the
earl and Mr.. Hare to convince him
that the son was really the father.
