Miss Sanderson's Work
Well Nigh Perfect.

To Inc Miss Sanderson has one of the
most alluring personalities on the
stage and I think that side with the
majority of theatergoers when I say
| this. No matter whether she be sing
ing. dancing, talking or merely think
| ing" She seems to exude some sort OF
subtle mind-perfume. II I may coin the
phase, intensely alluring and extreme,
| Iy appealing.
AS musical comedy star she is we'll
nigh perfect-her singing and speaking
voice is a delight. she has the rare ability
of getting her lines across without
conscious effort and she is a past-mis-
tress of the art of the dance. Just To
see her rendition OF the Tango with
Allan Mudie or, her interpolated Bit in
the "Good-by to Filtration number Is
we'll worth the price OF admission while
her rendition of the delightful dainty
Tiny Touch" at the close of the first
| act is one of the most enjoyable por-
| tions of the performance.
In common with the remainder of the
company, Miss Sanderson seems to be
more sure of herself this week than she
was during the opening rpn of The
Sunshine Girl in Washington. This.
of course, is only TO be expected. for
no company can play its first week in
new production with the same sursty
and poise which is attained after six
months or more.
Miss Sanderson's work last winter was
the hit Of The Sunshine Girl" The
piece has improved greatly since Wash
ington saw il last-but Miss SandersOn
has more than kept pace with this i'm
ovcmcnt. She is really the star of a
highly capable company.

me go.
Although / was from my girlhood days
an expert pickpocket and could at any
time, when other means Of revenue failed,
earn a good living by taking watches,
pocketbooks and pieces Of jewelry without
their owners knowledge or consent I
never had great success In getting away
with goods from the large stores.
Where there was a whole tray Of
diamonds to be had 1t was different mat
ter, but what is commonly known as shop
lifting-the theft of a piece Of lace here
and a pair of gloves there-that 1 never
found very profitable.
In fact, some of the most serious trouble
in which I ever became involved came
from my sporadic attempts at shoplifting.
I often did some daring shoplifting,
nevertheless, and in this connection I re-
member an amusing incident which hap
pened In Cincinnati in the early eighties.
/ walked into fashionable millinery
store on Vine street, one morning, and
satisfied my vanity by trying on a number
of the new Spring hats which were on
display. One of these which was marked

salesgirls back was turned quickly
walked out with this charming creation
on my head, leaving my old Winter hat
on the counter. l had not gone block
before man touched me on the shoulder.

to know where / was going with that s75

should accost me in this way
Where did you get your new millinery?"

down the street. Don't you think 1t Is
very becoming to me?" As uttered these
last words l gave him one OF my very
sweetest smiles and with a coquettish toss

detective.
"Oh, no, sir" said ], II didn't pay a. cent
for 1t. You see, am a kleptomaniac, and
