EG0TISTICAL EVA COMES IN
CONFLICT WITH MASTER MIND

Fftful, cyclonic, temperamental Eva Tan
quay attempted a coup much after the
style Of the late lamented Rube Waddell
q few days ago when she "balled" out
her matinee audience and the manage
ment of the Morgan Grand Theater, at
Sharon, Pa. The irrepressible Eva, how
ever. instead of forcing Manager John
Murray to kowtow to her was herself
ordered from the stage and her act put
out Of the theater.
When Eva arrived in Sharon II was
raining and the streets were sloppy and
the sale Of seats had been light. When
she reached the theater she found every
thing contrariwise to the way she wanted
II. ..
When she burst forth with her song.
Il Don't Care" her attitude and song
were well blended.
Then she uttered criticism of the house
management. the audience and every
thing and every one in sight. Never
known for his oversurplus OF equanimity.
Mr.. Murray jumped out into the aisle
and in no uncertain terms reminded Eva
Of things that happened several years
ago when she appeared In Sharon at
benefit Of the local lodge of EIks-
He then told the audience the show was
on and told Eva to get OF. All patrons
were refunded their money.

LOOKING BACK.

Looking back on the theatrical season
Of 1894 the veteran critic, Mr.. Towse.
writes in the New York Evening Post:
Signs Of the approaching end OF the
dramatic season of 1sl3-h are multiply
ing, and the expected demise is not
likely to be attended by any frantic DEM
onstrations Of public mourning. It has
had its redeeming features, but these
were few and far between. The general
character Of II was feeble. uninterest-
ing and dpressing. Perhaps nothing has
been more significant Of the general pow
erty OF the dramatic output than the
success that has attended performances
which In ordinarily healthful theatrical
conditions would not have attracted par
ticular attention, but have shone with
fictitious glitter amid their murky sur
roundings. II common report be true.
not all the plays that have achieved
long runs have brought vast profits to
their proprietors. More than one Of
these. It Is said. have been kept upon
the boards for lack Of something better.
or as good, to replace them. and for fear
lest any possible change might involve
still greater loss"

Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson closed
the hrst half of his phenomenally sue
cessful farewell tour Of the principal
cities Of the United States and Canada
at the Princess Theater. Montreal. Can
ada, last night The house was entirely
sold out ten days in advance. and the
tremendous enthusiasm Of the audience
toward the famous actor was fitting
climax to the most remarkable tour ever
achieved In America by an English actor.
Forbes-Robertson began his farewell
American tour in New York on October 2

last three weeks of which he had to trans
fer to larger theater), he visited all the

oRACULAR OTIS.

Otis Skinner. who is still acting in 'Kis-
met" was recently asked this question
by an interviewer:
What sort of plays dses the public
demand?'
Mr.. Skinner glanced about the hotel
lobby, and taking the newspaper man by
the arm, led him to a secluded corner,
where he whispered this reply:
THE public does not demand any kind
OF plays at all"
After order had been restored Mr.. Skim
ner went on to explain that the public
nine times out of ten literally supported
worthy. deserving plays. The trouble is
as the actor viewed it. the playwright has
not been putting his best foot forward in
this country. Vicious red-light dramas
or themes of the dissecting-room have
been filling the stage. Happily the end
of this sort of stun is in sight. The, pub
lie is wearied.
The clean play will prevail" said Mr..
Skinner. Romantic plays have never
gone out 1t has been a pleasure to ap-
pear in 'Kismet,' yet must confess that,
like all actors, ! welcome a change I
have had three successive years of ro-
manticism, and next year I am to ap-

YOUNG MAN ~: ~: ~.
STRUCK BY AUTO
ALvA GARRISON MEETS WITH
SERIOUS INJURY SATURDAY
WHEN STRUCK BY AUTO

Alva Garrison, young man Of
twenty-five was struck by an auto
Saturday evening and had his head
severely bruised. He was taken to
the Wittenberg hospital and DR..
Dochterman was summoned. It was
found that the hair on the right side
of his head had been ground off
where it dragged on the ground and
as the flesh was in a badly bruised
condition an operation was performed
for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not there was fracture.
No fracture was found and the bruis-
ed part was then cleansed and band
aged. The young man is getting along
very nicely and will be able to be
around soon.
The auto which struck him was
driven by Julius Nelson and Mr..
Nelson and Garrison were both 60
ing east on Broadway, the young man
being on a wheel and he on the right
side of the road. Just as they got
across the Irrigation ditch bridge Gar
ritson turned almost straight across
the street for home and attempting
to cross in front of the auto. In this
way he got struck and dragged for a
short distance. People who saw the
accident claim that Mr.. Nelson was
not driving fast at all and don't see
how it could have been avoided, the
boy crossing the street as he did. The
machine was ford and was the same
one that ran over the little boy on
Main street last fall when driven by
Chas. Baldwin.
