To refuse to play would be to milf
Mr.. Bowser. To play would almost in
ev1tably end in a quarrel. Mrs. Bowser
had to choose, and she reluctantly sat

On the first three hands out neither

chuckle became a laugh. In her draw

ment. This play, which has been seen all
over the country and has made millions
weep and laugh, was produced in the old

1897, and it at once came into great pop
ular favor. In the present cast, Ella
Hugh Wood is seen as Martha Perkins

original cast when it was seen in Chicago.
This engagement, which is for two weeks,
will make fifty weeks that the show has
played in Chicago.

Mr.. Crawford declared that he ex-

said that he had booked Vaughn

a distinct success, will be given at dol

Mr.. CHASER has played Ibsen's

Letters in Shakespeare's Plays.
Even as q lecturer, Ellen Terry shows
a regard for stage effects, says the
wide plain field of dark green velvet
curtain, she stands dressed in a lighter
green flowing silk robe, much like
Portals legal garb. This unity of color
centers all the attention upon her face
under its crown of golden hair. At one
side is her reading desk, draped with
a fabric of Oriental pattern, and at the
other is a broad, low seat. Could a
picture be more cIasstcally simple and
complete?
Miss Terry ventured the opinion that
most authors said all they wanted TO
say to the public outside their private
letters. She was consequently glad
that Shakespeare left none, especially
as there are thirty letters in his plays.
Some Of these she read and commented
upon.
Several were love letters: Hamlet ex-
pressing real love to OpheIia; Porteus.
Sylvia; Armada, the tiresome bur.
lesquer, to Jacquenetta: Macbeth, the
dynamic dreamer, to Lady Macbeth.
Antonio's letter to Bassanio she con-
siders unparalleled for tenderness of
affection, and she thinks that men no
longer write such epistles to each 9TH
err. She made much of Falstaff's in
discreet communications to the Wind
sor ladies. For Maria's poetry Miss
Terry has small esteem; but ''she
shines in prose- when deluding Ague-
check, and the legal Bel1ario. The
warning Of Artemidorus to Caesar is a
model of Latin brevity and lucidity.
She closed with the sad words of
Timon.
Prolonged applause from the crowd
ed house told Miss Terry in eloquent
fashion how nightly she had pleased
her audience.
