Impressive Record
For Quick Studies

"Quick studies" are . byword in the
atrical circles, and many a man and
woman in the profession lays claim to
being the champion in that line but un-
less some one arises to eontrovert the
claims Of William J. Kelly he must be
given the laurel wreath. He is now
playing the role of the young Irish
American major in "Seven Days
| Leave" He prides himself moro ON his
ability to "get up in part" than in
anything else he does.
He was called upon at midnight to
play the role made vacant by the sud-
den illness of Henry B. Warner in Will
ton Lackaye's production of "The Bat
tie" at the Savoy Theatre, and learned
the seventytwo pages of manuscript
and played the part at the matinee the
next day.
He was called upon by David Belasco
to get up in Aubrey Boucicault's part
in "The Lily" at the Belasco Theatre.
The role was of forty-eight pages. He
studied it on train from Washington
to New York and went on that same
night.
Henry Ainsley, the English actor, was
taken Ill while leading man with Clara
Bloodgood in Clyde Fitch's 1.-THE Truth"
in Cleveland. Mr.. Kelly was handed
the part of seventy-hvc pages at the
Lambs Club, and studied it on the
Twentieth Century Limited en- route to
Cleveland. and played the role that
night.

One Prophecy of a
Gypsy Paln1ist That
May Come True

When Clara Moores, leading ladv
Tor William Hodge in the Lee shubert
production of "a Cure for Curables ;,
was planning her debut on the stage in
4 stock company production out in
seattle gypsy told her that the day
would come when she would be a great
theatrical star.
Miss Moores and a friend were on n
shopping tour one afternoon and tbev
passed little store which had an
Oriental air about it, but on closer in
spection it proved to be the fortune.
telling establishment Of gypsy.
After the usual Sights" which all
1ak!rs see in their victims hand. the
gypsy startled Miss Moores by telling
her that she was planning to 60 on
the stage. Immediately Miss Moores
became more attentive, and urged the
seer to continue with her observations
will I ever be a starr" she asked.
You WILL" the gypsy replied; "but
hrst you will have long, hard
struggle. However, eventually you will
acquire great success. Your name will
be known from one end of the world to
the other"
At that time Miss Moores was more
interested in making good in the stock
company than she was in startling the
world, but she was thankful at least
mat the gypsy did not pour cold water
on her aspirations. After her debut on
the stage in Seattle she came east to

New York, and the first time she ap-
piled for an engagement she was sue
cessful. Then came short tour
through New England, and a return to
New York in Bunker Bean," in which
she was given an important part. And
now Miss Moores is Mr. Hodges lead
ing lady, with fair chance of the
gypsy's prediction coming true.
