"a Butterfly on the Wheel"
When an entire play is new except
ing one part, and that old part is the
only part in which success is scored.
IT is indeed a peculiar condition Of
things. But such II is with "A Butter

at the Thfrty~ninth Street Theater.
The explanation lies in the fact that
Miss Madge Titheradge. just imported
from London is practically the whole

the play is reached.
That part is the last act. which pre-

Miss Titheradge plays the part Of
Peggy Admaston, who becomes in
volved in an innocent yet foolish and
unfortunate affairs with a Paris ad
mirer, while her husband is too busy
with politics. Through complicated
scenes, the action progresses until
Peggy is defendant in court. 1t is a
question whether the spectacle of hec-
toring a defenseless woman is agree
able to American audiences, even in
drama, but Miss Titheradge would be
lost in the rest of the play without
this chance for exhibiting her won
derful appeal in emotional acting. To
Judge from her exterior manner and
appearance, one would say She is fitted
for light parts, but she is really at her
height in the kind of scenes made
famous by Leslie Carter in her palmy
days. Many nice things have been said
about Miss Titheradge since she capti-
waited her frst-night audience, and il
is not amiss to venture that she will

John Faed's famous group, Shakespeare
and His Contemporaries" is one OF the
most popular paintings Of the Corcoran
Gallery at Washington City. W. W.
Corcoran, the founder of the gallery,
purchased this picture about sixty years
ago. 1t was in his private collection
when he gave it to the Corcoran Gallery
of Art, on May 10, 1853. The painting
bears no date, and II is fifty-three inches
in height by sixty-eight in width. 1t is
the favorite picture OF Julia MarIowe,
who viii appear with e. H. Sothern at
the Belasco Thester, week Of February
u. In discussing the picture, Miss Mar
lowe said: r.s
''The choice Of the Chandos and the
so-caIIed Stratford portraits as models
by John Faed was a happy selection.
This bearded likeness of Shakespeare Is
the one which comes nearest to our ideal

have, i believe, but one personal descrip-
tion of the Bard, and that from the pen
OF John Aubrey, who obtained his data
from friends OF the poet. Shakespeare
he wrote, displayed in his dress some
degree of refinement harmonizing with
the expression of his pale, tranquil face.
his intellectual forehead, and thoughtful
eyes.
The Ely Palace and the Droeshout are
nothing like so agreeable as the STRAIT
ford and Chandos portraits. In the lat
ter, the poet, except for the mustache. Is
smooth shaven. While the Stratford and
Chandos lil1enesses may be purely imaci-
nary compositions, they better satisfy the
mind; they are more agreeable and pre-
possessing.
