day upon the development of the idea
attacking it from three angles-as
part author, stage director and actor.
Finally he got it into sufficient shape
to invite Mr.. F'rohman to the rehear-
sails; and at Mr.. Frohman's suggest
ion what was originally unqualified

drama flecked with humor. That was

CLUB

A New York paper gives the follow
ing account of the recent organization
of the American Actors club recently
organized in that city:
The American flag waved triumph
antly and the American eagle screech-
ed cXultantly at the Algonquin hotel on
Tuesday night when William Collier,
George NJ. Conan and a select coterie
of assorted henchmen planted the seed
that is to rear the American Actors
club.
Few of those present We're. aware of
the object of the gathering when they
received their invitations. They knew
that a dinner had been arranged, and
beyond that happy event they did not
care to inquire. 1t was not until after
the entire route of the menu had been
%coverted that Conan solemnly arose
and called upon Collier to explain the
real purpose of the assemblage. The
latter proceeded to outline a scheme for
the formation of an actors club, re-
stricted in membership to $50 players,
either native Americans or so long
identified with the American stage as
to have become fully ~acclimated.
Conan continued the discourse by ex-
planning the plan IN sun greater de-
tail. He said that he and Collier did
not wish to be identified as the found
erS of the club, that already thirty
five members We're pledged, and that
in a few days they expected to have
filled the full complement. In about
two weeks, he said, the ~cmbroNotic
club would give a public performance
for the means of starting the bank
roll" and on February p there would
be a meeting Of the members to &C
complish formal organization and to
elect officers. Both McssrS. Collier and
Cohan insisted that in organizing tn"
club they were not aiming at any other
theatrical organization, and that their
relations would continue friendly with
other clubs of players and managers.

The Confession" fresh from a sue
cessful run at the Broadway Bijou
theatre, New York City, will be pre-
scented at the Harnois on February II.
Unusual interest is attached to the
engagement of this powerful drama in
this city, as it has been endorsed by
the most eminent men in the country.
1t has been claimed that the strongest
point in this play is the u~nreliability
of circumstantial evidence. How a
chain of circumstances can be so ar
ranged by skillful lawyers as to point
to the guilt of a man, is clearly shown
in this play, which deals with the eX-
p]erienco of a man falsely accused of
murder. He is convicted and sentenced
to death, and even on circumstantial
evidence the law of the state has de-
creed that he shall forfeit his life as
a penalty for his crime. Almost too
late it is made clear that the man is
innocent of the accusation, and the
state is kept from committing a crime
to punish a crime.
The story that is tod is a remark
able one and the plot is well developed
and finds a strong conclusion, Much
interest should be attached to the fact
that this is the first presentation in
this city of his great play which claims
great dramatic power, heart interest,
a lesson and a purpose, coupled with
the announcement OF a distinguished
cast of exceptional merit.
Mr.. Richard Sterling's rendition of
the sublime character of the Reverend
j. j. Bartlett, is being commented y
on nightly as being acting of the very
highest order. Mr.. Sterling will be re-
membered by many for his clever char
acterization of John Storm in The
Christian" also his clever work with
Tim Murphy and Florence Roberts.
Mr.. Charles Garfield, whose work as
one of the attorneys has caused much
from the legal talent in the
cities where he has appeared. Mr..
Garfield has been seen in these parts
with Ben Hur," having appeared in
that production for the past five sea-
sons in this country and abroad. Many
will no doubt remember his "Laramie'
with William Gillette, while en- tour
in sherlock Holmes
Mr.. George Manning. whose portray
al of the character of the French-Can-
adian, caused so much favorable COM
ment while EN- tour through Canada, IS
an artist of exceptional ability. His
dialect was so good that the Canadians

says:
Werba & Luescher's company in
The Rose Maid opened the, week
at the Mason opera house last night
before a good-sized audience. The
production is a two-act operetta,
adapted from the German by Harry
b. Smith and Raymond Peck, with
music by Bruno Gramchstadten.
The Rose Maid has a pretty lit
tie romance for a story and a good
deal Of agreeable music of very light
character, but it is a work that is
neither better nor worse than the
many of its sort on the. American
stage.
The Werba & Luescher company
is a large and excellent one and may
be credited as notably good in voices.
Also it has not overlooked Il num-
