BLOSSOMS REPERTOIRE.

1t is interesting TO read the biogra-
ply of Robert Edeson, who is star
ring in Where the Trail Divides"
and note the different sorts of char
acterlZatiOns he has played and the
scores of prominent players with
whom his name has been connected.
He has been seen as a newspaper
man in The Editor" he played a
minister of the gospel in The Good
Old Times" d man about town in "A
Nights FrOlic;" and then rip-roar-
ing rustler in That Cowboy" an
English dandy in The Masquer-
aders." and a sWashbuckIer in Under
the Red Robe With Maude Adams
he did clever piece of work as the
little minister in the play of that
name, and who can forget his Cap
tain Carew in His Excellency, the
Governor" as a registering, boyster-
ing, devil-may-caTe-ever
sort of a chap, as King Charles in
Mistress Nell" thence TO stardom
in Soldiers of Fortune" Again he
donned the cloth and played the rec
tor in The Rector's Garden" His
Soangataha, the Indian. in Strong
heart" gave him vogue that will
last for many. many years to come.
Playing clergymen seems TO have
been popular With Edeson, for we
again find him donning the cloth. as
Rev. John Wayne in The Sinner"
He found himself happy playing Ned
Trent, the hunter in the great wastes
under the shadow of the Arctic cir
Gle, in The Call Of the North" His
next part was entirely different, in
that of Klif King, an ex-convict in
The Offenders" AS the noble Span
lard, in a play of the early Victorian
period, he was as dashing and cap
tivating as any matinee idol could
wish TO be. Now we see him again,
back to his best beloved, that of an
Indian character. He promises for
next year in his new play, that we
shall see him again in evening dress,
which he has so often adorned. to the
delight of his hosts of friends and
admirers.

MANNERINe ON APPLAUSE.

Mary Mannering. who is appeaTing
in a Mans World holds that the
success of a performance depends 10
a great extent upon the audience
Achievement grows upon appreciation.
and the audience which applauds most
sees the best acting.
1T is generally supposed" says Miss
Mannering, that the success of a play
depends entirely upon the actor, au-
thor and manager. This statement is
true in a large measure. yet one of
the most important considerations has
been overlooked-an eXhilarating and
generous audience.
During a performance. an actor who
receives no applause is like an artist
painting in the dark. He never knows
what he has accomplished. what eff
fects he has produced. The only wav
to let him know he is right is TO ap-
plaud him.
The value of applause. then TO an
actor is great: but its value TO an au-
dience is as important. The one re-
acts upon the other. To get the best
acting an audience must inspire it by
hearty and genial applause This is
no trouble to an audience. II commits
them to no judgment upon the actors
performance. but the effect upon the
player is magical. He feels at ease in
a moment and will play the better dur
ing the course of the evening
The truth of this assertion will he
readily understood by those who have
attended a rehearsal. when there Is
Haught save empty seats confronting
the players. II matters not how en-
trancing. stirring and captivating n
play may be. at rehearsals il ever ap-
pears dull and spiritlcss. But fill the
seats with kindly auditors. who cor
daily participate in their efforts. and
delightful change takes place. That
which at rehearsal was spiritless
bursts all at once into life and activ-
ity
Appreciation is the parent OF fine
work. while cold house chills the cur
rent of the actors art. There is no
doubt of necessity of applause to the
player"

this moment there comes into her
life a young man, who was left, as
his heritage, this mercantile estab-
lishment. She is in ignorance of
his real position and thinks that he
is an applicant for employment, as

ly against embarking on the tu-
multuous seas of mercantile disap-
pointment. A Maynard sister of
hers is arrested as a shoplifter and

Maggie loses her position in the
store. and everything looks dreary to
her but her natural optimism rcas
serts itself and she starts out to win
even though she is opposed by pow

a healthy optimism and teens with
many laughable lines such as none

author of the play feel confident that
