while faint means and groan

Bending low to catch the lineup oil

But the effort now seemed futile, for
the game was almost done,
Two strikes now were called upon
him, and the Fan must hit and
run
Then doctor entered softly, and a
pill raised dying hope,
For the Fan revived a little with the
working of the dope"
And he swung, though somewhat
family, at sentence bold and

Did we win today, or lose it? Tell

Then the dying Fan sighed softly,

actresses In Male Roles.

From 1927 to 1875 the portrayal OF
male roles by the leading actresses of
the period was held in high and popu-
lar esteem by theater-goers in this
country Among the first to institute
this vogue was Nine Malibran, who
appeared as Count Bellino in The
Devils Bridge at the Bowery theater,
N. Y, in January, 1927. Charlotte
Cushman, the greatest actress this
country has ever known, was seen at
the Park theater, N. Y, June 81, 1888,
as Claude Melnotte in Lady of Lyons.
Her success possibly induced her to
assume such other parts as Cardinal
Wolsey, which she gave at Tripler
hail. Gosamer in Brothers at the
same theater, Patrick in The Poor
Soldier and as Romeo she appeared
four times. Another famous actress
of that time who played male parts
was Charlotte Champion, her fayorite
roles being Hamlet, Jack Shepard in
Jack Shepard, Mazeppa, Richard III.
and Shylock Adah Isaacs Menken,
who immortalized Mazeppa, also must
not be forgotten Among the other
famous actresses who appeared in
male roles were Mile SacKett, Ellen
Bateman, Nine. Celeste, Kate Fisher,
Anna Dickinson, Mrs. Thomas Hamb-
lin, Mrs w. G.. Jones, Kate Raymond,
Maggie Mitchell, Fannie Louise Buck
ingham, Laura Keene, Mrs. Macready,
