THE WHITE SISTER" AT PoLrs.

The Poli Stock company are mak- ing the hit of their lives this week in that powerful production of "The White Sister at Polls theater Last night curtain call after curtain call was demanded by the large audience present in appreciation of the efforts of the company and regarding the elaborateness of the play.
 ''The White Sister, is one of those plays that takes hold of the auditor with gripping effect and does not relax its hold until the very last moment; therefore it is easily to be seen why the production is attaining such un- qualified success by the popular stock company Each and every one of the members of the company deserve the great2s- amount of praise for their particular portrayals, and MT Kirk, the efficient stage director, should be congratulated for his splendid staging of the production. Next week the members of the stock company will be seen in that famous drama Woman Against Woman" which has. been on the boards for a number of years and always played to big houses. The com pany will be cast to fine advantage in this play.

BRADLEY THEATER, PUTNAM.
An Actors Career.

In these days the actors aim is to get to 9 Broadway theater and make a success. for playing a part in New York Is the only way for an actor to attain reputation. In this regard the career of John E. Kellerd is certainly both noteworthy and interesting Here is ana actor, still comparatively young who holds the record for having play ed more leading parts in New York city than any actor who speaks our language, or probably any other. He has appeared in over eighty leading roles. and has never made a failure. He has played every great classic role, except King Lear. He is the only liv- ing actor who has appeared as King Oedipus in Sophocles' greatest Of all Greek tragedies, and is the only Eng lishman who ever played Uncle Tom. which he performed nearly a hundred rirnes In aE all star cast some ten years ago. He has also spoken the longest speech that can be allotted to an actor in our 1anguage-the messen- gers story of the assassination of Aegisthus in the Electra of Euripides. in a. speech taking nearly twelve min utes- During his recent staEring en- gagement in New York, he made a noted success in Hamlet, Shylock Mac beth, and Oedipus. Certainly this is an incompOrable record. Mir Kellerd will appear as Shy6ck in 'The Mer- chant of Venice," at the Bradley tte- ater. Putnam, on Thursday evening, Dee. 1th.

A Collection OF Drawings by
AUH-eV BeardSIey.

There may be seen for a few days at
the gallery Of the Berlin Photographic
Company a number Of drawings by the
late Aubrey Beardsley. the first collec-
tion Of original work by him 70 be shown
in public in this country. 1t is an cpl
sode Of some interest. The Beardsley
craze has gone down the wind, along
with a number Of other things which
fourished in the palmy days Of The
Yellow Book" But while a lot Of the
Cecadent stuff Of the 9Os has been laid
pretty definitely on the rubbish heap,

ICY remains.
The history II his triumph over the
repulsion provoked by his morbid traits
is Well illustrated in the experience Of
one Of his most famous critics, Whistler.
The present writer once asked that
painter what he thought Of Beardsiey.
Whistler was seated At = table in his

may Well tinge with compassion any es-
innate formed Of Beardsley in the length
and breadth of his dealings with life.
But it has nothing 10 say 10 US when we
| look at the drawings that are unwhole-
some. That burden the artist must bear
50 long as he is remembered at all. II
there is a cant Of condemnation as re-
CARDS this side OF his history there is
also d cant Of conformation.
What is left after the morbidity Of
his atmosphere is conceded is an as
founding technique We have glanced
at its decorative potency. This rests not
only upon his invention as a designer,
but upon the mint and cummin Of work
mauship. Besides knowing now TO op-
pose his blacks and whites-in which
he revealed extraordinary judgment-he
exercised in the process the manual deX-
te-ity of a conjurer. 1t was deXtcrity
for which he paid certain penalties or
which, at any rate, would seem 10 have
excluded certain merits. The value OF
Beardsley's line as line should not be
exaggerated II is curiously wanting
for example. in subtlety of modulation.
It is not elastic. II does not leap and
run contour with him has never

from living flesh, which belongs as q
matter Of course To the highest expo
nents of linear art. It possesses, instead.
the sharp immoblity characteristic of
the silhouette. His line is pure and fine.
too fine 10 be regarded as merely me-
chanical. but II very nearly iucurs the
latter epithct; it does not hesitate. bat
neither does IL flow. There is something
in il, we repeat suggestive of cold
slejght-of-h hand rather than Of honest.
artless strength. Possibly IL was this
that caused Whistler 10 stand aIoof so
long. He. with the splendid mastery OF
line that we know in his etchings, must
have fairly resented Beardsleys habit
Of craftsmanship. Beside his own, that
habit appears not simply mechanical but
even meretricious. Especially when
thus tested does Beardsley's work dis
close bloodless artihce. a point Of view
not alone Independent Of nature but
actually defiant Of il. And still as has
been said, his technique is astounding
How true this is the present exhibit
tion clearly enforces. Reproduction and
reduction in scale heightened the stac-
cato quality Of Bcardslcy's work. gave
il a more consummate edge. but he did
not need II 10 affirm BIZ intrinsic OK
ccllence as craftsman. In fact the
originals only deepen our sense Of his
phenomenal skill. That line OF his,
which, as we have shown is so different
from the greatest line. Is still brilliant
and beautiful. Within his restricted
sphere he could. after all, do anything
he liked. That expressiveness, that gift
for the .likcliiSc," 10 which reference
has already been made is supported by
miraculous technical hncsse, and I'm
one resource. that OF the art OF omis-
