Madame Sherry, Thursday, Dec. 2s

Madane Shefry, ] thursday Lee. 70.
Perhaps the best thing Madame
Sherry has done is to introduce us to
Lima Abarbanel as a star in musical
comedy. Her antecedents are almost
exactly those of FritZie Scheff and
Fanny Wehlen. She was trained in a
German eapital-where she worked in
grand opera, light opera, musical COM
|edy and serious drama. When she
first came to America, she came to the
Metropolitan Opera Company in New
York. That is an indication that she
has voice. And she doesn't have to
be on the stage long before she shows
that she has. for so small and winsome
a being, vast amount Of personality
land vivacity. She's better than
FritZie Scheff. Like Nine. Scheff and
Miss Wehlen, her work is character
lied by all those little gestures, graces
and expressions which the trade broad
~ refers to as technique. Its possess
sion, in the degree it is thought neces-
.sary in Europe, by these three wo-
men, makes their work seem quite
similar-it contrasts so strongly with
the native American method Miss
Abarbanef1 has brilliant future in the
better class of American musical COM
edy She will continne as the prima
donna star OF Madame Sherry" for the
balance of this season.

Presents Are
Being Sent Early

At the postofIice Holiday business
begins most auspiciously. People are
adopting the sensible method of send
| ing their presents early. The senders
of Christmas parcels seem to more
generally appreciate the fact that it is
favor to their friends, and a con-
venience TO themselves, as we'll as tn
the postal employees. if they properly
wrap, stoutly tie, and clearly address
those parcels and write the name and
address of the sender in the upper left
hand corner. Otherwise the chances
of loss are many.
Annoyance and delay may be avoid
ed if it Is remembered that anything.
which is sealed, that is so wrapped
that a clerk in the pesteffiee may not
examine the contents, is liable to letter
postage before it may be sent on TO its
destination. FASTING anything over a
string with which the parcel is tied
should be avoided as that seals it.
Nearly everyone knows, but some do
not readily recall that all written or
sealed mail is subject to first class
postage, two cents per ounce or fr8s-
ton of an ounce; all miscellaneous
printed matter Ton paper) is third
class, subject to postage at the rate of
one cent for each two ounces or frae-
ton thereof; and all other mail, save
and periodicals, is fourth
class, the postage on which is a cent
per ounce or part of an ounce.
As Christmas comes on Monday,
special arrangements will be made for
delivery at the postoffice on Sunday of
Christmas packages.

BAN JOHNSON HERE
FOR CONFERENCE
Head of American League
Arrives To-day.

Although Ban Johnson. president of the
American League, was expected IN
Washington yesterday, at a late hour
last night he had not arrived. and will
probably not get into town until early
this morning.
Immediately upon his arrival there will
be a conference of the officials of the
Washington baseball club regarding the
rebuilding of the grand stands at the
ball park
Plans submitted by the Fuller ConStruc-
ton Company. which have been approved
by the District officials, call for a COM
plete rebuilding of the stands. with the
exception of the bleaChcrS
Contractors are OF the opinion that the
lower section OF the proposed double
decker grand stand can be erected by
the time Washington is scheduled to
play its first game home, April T.
One important change which will be
given consideration is the plan to move
the center field fence back eighty feet
to the building line on Fifth street. and
this is one of the matters upon which
Ban johnson will be asked to give advice
By noon yesterday yesterday the work
of clearing away the charred heap left
by Fridays fire was completed. II took
a special force of police to keep back
the crowd of curiosity seekers who
thronEed the baseball park to get a peep
at the fire-Swept district.
