stage.
Not that it should be overlooked that
MISS Starr had received q severe training
In histrionic work before she came under
Mr. Belascos direction. She began her
stage career as a member Of a modest
stock company in Albany, in June, 1901,
playing mostly small ingenue parts for a
brief season there. Proceeding afterward
to New York. she became member OF
the Murray Hill stock company, and aft
erward joined the organization of the
Alcazar Theater in San Francisco On
returning from the coast she obtained an
engagement with the Castle Square The
alter stock company in Boston, removing
/ thence to New York. where she had a
somewhat important role in the play
called ''Gallops." That engagement was
the turning point of her career.
1t so happened that one evening Mr..
Belasco strayed into the theater and
was Immediately arrested by the fresh.
ness and charm of the young actress
work. An invitation to call upon the
dramatist followed shortly after and re-
suited In Miss Starr being invited to be-
come the heroine of 1.-The Music Mas
ter with David Warfield. Her next and
more important step upward was taken
when Mr.. Belasco selected her to play
the title role Of 1.-THE Rose of the Ran
cho."
THOMAS E. SHEA.-Nineteen years
ago Thomas E. Shea decided to go into
the theatrical business and secured an
engagement with a travelling repertoire
company under the management of II. J..
Chaplain. Here he played all kinds Of
parts and laid the foundation for his
character work
The following year he was with the
Charles Atkinson Stock Company, and,
at a time when its owner needed money,
he purchased an interest in 1t, and subse-
quently bought him out entirely For
the past seventeen years he has been
appearing at the head Of his own Or
ganization.
He is voracious reader, a busy stu
dent. and a dramatist Of no mean ability.
Several years ago in collaboration with
Charming Pollock he wrote a play based
on the life Of Napoleon. which contained
quite a vogue and may be revived next
season on an elaborate scale.
When Mr.. Shea acquired the rights to
Henry Irvings great success, 1.-THE
Bells" he believed that Matthias crime
should be made more lucid to the minds
of his audiences, consequently he wrote
a first act to the piece, which he still
uses. He also collaborated on the drama
tization of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
and wrote a first act to the new play he
is using this season, Counsel for the De-
fense."
At present he is engaged in rewriting

CONCERNING FRANCES STARR
Frances Starr is proud of a framed auto
graph letter which hangs in her dressing
room In the Etuyvesant Theater. New
York. That letter. penned in the char
enthusiastically bold handwriting Of its
writer, reads thus:
Dear Miss Starr: Am hoping that you
will make them sit up and say, Hello,
here's the American Duse. My best
wishes for you. David Warfield.'
Another whole-hearted admirer of Miss
Starr is David Belasco himself. 1t must
be a pleasant memory to the actress that
when THE Easiest Way had it's first
production in New York, and achieved
success, the only remark which Belasco
made when he at last answered to the
insistent calls of the audience was Il

Belasco has good reason to be proud of

THE BANANA TREE.
Each Piece Of Fruit Represents a Sin.
gle Flower.

Tropical trees and plants, with
their luxurious growth and brilliant
flowers. are very interesting. In
Hawaii there is not the boarding or
niggardliness Of slow growth. Ma
ture does everything with lavish
hand. Small ANIMALS in colder
climes do not seem remarkable
when they have their full growth
but to perfect their flower and seed
but in the larger growth of the
tropics this does seem a remarkable
feature.
During my stay on the windward
side of the island of Oahu / have
been studying the banana tree. In
growth and habit it is exceedingly
interesting Very truly does it live
but to produce its fruit, for, though
a stem attains a height of from
twelve to eighteen feet, as soon as
one bunch of bananas ripens it is
"pau" in Hawaiian parlance, "fn-
ished" in English. 1t is cut down
and another tiny shoot starts from
the ground to pursue the same
course.
Each banana represents a single
flower, and we eat the feshy seed,
pod or ovary, something as in the
apple, only that the seeds have no
covering, as in that fruit. The
large cluster of flowers is inclosed
in leailike coverings, which roll
back and fall off, one by one, as a
hand Of the flowers is ready to open.
BY a hand one means two rows of
flowers going half around the stem.
/ have often wondered what was
meant in the oriental stores by n
"hand" Of bananas. Now l under
stand by looking at the empty stem
from which we have just finished
eating the delicious fruit. As soon
as the fruit first begins to turn the
stem is cut and hung up TO ripen.
Bananas hanging in the porch to
be used at will are a very good sub
stitute for the apple of colder
climes.
But to return to the flowers. The
first hand Of flowers turns very soon
into tiny green bananas, and then
the next leaflike bract rolls back
and falls off, and a hand Of flowers
comes to light, till, one after an
other, these hands have made
large bunch Of bananas. In those
that have examined the last flow

Pneuliar Marrinnn Ritns.

Northern India and the island Of
Banquey can certainly claim to
have the most peculiar marriage
rites of any country. In the former
a COW and a calf are invariably re-
quired at the marriage. The ami
mails are driven into a narrow run
ming stream, the priests and tie BE-
trothed couple also standing in ttp
water The man and woman cara
catch hold of the cows tail. and l.r
priest pours water out or g'l,S
vessel upon their joirel haa3-.
while all present muttcr certain
prayers. The young folks are then
declared to be man and wife, and
the priest claims the COW and calf
as his fee. In the island of Ban
quey the officiating priest takes
sharp knife and with it makes
small incision in the right leg of the
bride and bridegroom. From each
incision he gathers a few drops Of
blood and transfers them to the
other ones leg. This operation, to-
gether with short religious formu-
la, constitutes the whole of the mar
riage ceremony.
