therein. In so far as the various
phases Of development are concerned,
each part is almost n play in itself
and the outlet tor Mrs. Fiske's COM
prehensive genius is therefore quite un-
usual
The first epoch deals with the life
Of Mary Page in her youth, which was
spent under circumstances OF cruelty
and hardship on her fathers farm.
Early deprived of mother love and edu-
cation. she was the household slave, but
Il great spirit had been born within her,
and it took its first flight into n world
Of beauty and luxury, This did not
Cling for expression, and she left it all
10 go out into the world to earn her
living with her hands; to take up
daily toll AK sordid as that of her early
years had been. Finding an opportu-
nifty to enlist in the cause of the weak
and downtrodden, she does SO to the ex-
clusion Of all thought of self. As the
years pnss she gradually becomes one
OF the great servants of humanity, ever
growing in spiritual stature, although
buffeted by many storms, until at
last she finds haven in the reverence
OF thousands Of those to whom she has
been an angel of delivcrancc, and In
4 great and lasting love. II is with tho
winning of the latter and in the saving
OF II. ana Win IL, JNe polLtlCdl AuLulS
of her husband that the dramatic In
terest of the story is most concerned.
The scene in which the wife, single
handed and alone, fights desperately
against the interests which, by the use
Of her mistake in the bygone years,
are endeavoring to force the surrender
of her husband IS moral and political
principles, is declared to be one Of the
most vivid and appealing that any play
wright has over penned.
Throughout Mr. Sheldon is said to
have told his story with gripping inter
ests, an underlying vein of poetry, and
n keen insight directed toward num-
ber OF important sociological issues OF
the moment. The role Of Mary Page,
in Mrs Fiske's manner of treatment,
has proved one of the most sympathetic
and engrossing that the stage has known
in many years. 1t brings new Mrs.
Fiske into artistic view, a Mrs: Fiske
OF infinite sympathy and tenderness,
and vet the same Mrs. Fiske Of former
triumphs in brilliance. power. strength
and resourcefulness in art.
Perhaps the best acting ensembles
with which the American stage Is ac-
ouainted are those which are always
found in support Of Mrs. F'iske. Pre-
eminent as are her own gifts, she has
never depended upon them alone, but
has maintained standard in her sup
porting PLAYERS that has become pro-
verbal. This excellence in contTbut-

The Merry Countess was written in
his happiest vein. Miss Gladys Unger,
beautiful California girl, now resid-
ing in London, provided the book, while
Arthur Anderson, quite literary, light
on the other side, furnished the lyrics.
Altogether, this combination has proven
quite the most irresistible and tempt
ing musical production of the current
season and bids fair to remain in the
ascendance for some time to come.
