serious illness following on the death of
her husband. in 1883. she was appointed an
honorary member of the Court Theatre at
Munich, at the personal request OF King
Ludwig II. Her principal roles were
Medea, Antigcne, PentheSiiea, Judith and
Brunhild, and she was also responsible for
the authorship of two little comedies, en-
titled "Elirt" and "The Fear of the Mother
in-Law." The last few years OF her life
she spent in the companionship of her step
daughter. Miss Elizabeth Christen. on her
beautiful estate on Lake Starnberg. Two
years ago the famous actress created a
fund. bearing her name, amounting TO
10000, the interest of which is distributed
equally between the orphanages of Munich
irrespective of creed, and to different char
tiles connected with the stage.
THAT there has been great change in
the public attitude toward the theatre may
be inferred from the fate OF the first and
the fate of the last of Pinero's series of
serious plays" says a London critic 'If
We recall the tremendous success of The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray'' and contrast il
with the admitted failure of Mid Channel

The rehearsais OF "Chantecler" are ter

are of extraordinary beauty, and vast In

so voluminous that the doors Of the dress

performers complain that they are almost
