LOCAL AMATEUR.
 MAKES GOOD

A few weeks ago J. F.. Robarts received word from his wife that she had accepted an offer from a stock company in Washington to play leads, the engagement to last six weeks. She had filled five weeks of the engagement when Mrs in Seattle with her little grand daughter Mona Anita, had bad fall, injuring herself so seriously that Mrs. Robarts severed her con nection with the company at once and left for Seattle to attend her mother-in-law. Since that time Mrs Robarts has received offers from other companies to play leads, but has had to refuse It is probable, however, that as soon as Mrs. Ro- barts, Sr., has entirely recovered, the clever and talented little lady may accept another position.
 Mrs. Robarts and little daughter Mona Anita, left Fairbanks last Au- gust for Seattle. where they were joined by Mir Robarts' mother, and set up housekeeping in a cosy little flat, hoping that J. E. would join them at Christmas, which, however owing to business interests here, he was unable to do.
 Mrs. Robarts is conceded by every one in Fairbanks to be the clev crest amateur actress who ever trod the boards in this Northland, ant without question the greatest ia vorite. She made more than goot here On every occasion, and it seem: her fame preceded her on the Out side, for it was only a short time before she received several offers finally accepting the above-men tioned.
