THE NEW STAR.

Eileen Huban, who plays the leading
feminine role in David Belasco's latest
production, Dark Rosaleen," the new
Irish comedy by W. d. Hepenstall and
Whitford Kane. at the Belasco Theatre
last Tuesday evening. Is an Irish girl
with black hair that refuses to remain
in conventional twists and a wealth
of burning ambition shining through
big gray eyes.
Without any theatrical experience to
speak OF. Miss Huban's chance came a
few years ago when she appeared at
the Garrick Theatre in the title role Of
a tragedy called THE Grasshopper. "
SO potent was the spell OF personality
and so touching the sincerity and
power of her performance that after
the second act on the opening night
the newcomer was applauded, much to
her own establishment
Previous to this engagement, Miss
Huban had appeared at the Bandbox

an actress, but was cultivating her
voice. Following "The Grasshopper"
she appeared in Barrie's "Old Friends

who became q drunkard, and when
theatregoers next saw her it was in

A FEW years ago, in Washington,

for child actors, upon one family

mand might be, there was always an

fairy stepladder. as one of the capital
critics put 1t POLITICALLY. There were
four girls and three boys in the Eaton
family, and each looked more like a
Raphael cherub than the other. They
were oftenest cast as angels and
Fairies-and the audiences at Polls
Theatre became SO enthusiastic when
one or a troupe Of little Eatons ap-
peared with wings that frequently
the stage manager wrote in" an
Eaton part in his manuscript.
This was four years ago. Then the
eldest of the Eaton sisters, Miss Eve
Ign, was tempted by New York man
ager to come to Broadway and be
made famous. Which she might have
done, except that she married and left
} the stage before she had played a
season away from home. And then
there were SIX little Eatons.
Meantime the two little Eatons next
to Evelyn-namely, Doris and Mary,
aged thirteen and fourteen respective
ly-arrived at the success of their
Washington career in the leading roles
of The Blue Bird" Most playgoers
of the Capital City were convinced
when they saw this fairy play that
Maeterlnck had written it just for the
express benefit of showing off the
Jatons. Every one of the half dozen

anything but eager to disrupt her
family life by accompanying Doris
and Mary on the road; but they
pleaded so prettily that 'just this
once" she finally succumbed-and
soon matters We're arranged, and the

Shakeup Comments

The Philadelphia North American.
with which James S. Benn. one of the
Public Service Commissioners, was
long connected has this to say about
the coming shake-up in the Commits
sion staff:
Seven employees of the Public Ser
wee Commission, including William
c. Hartman, of Philadelphia. fol-
lower of Representative John r. K.
Scott and two other Ware men, have
been slated for removal by a COM
mittee on dismissal, of which Com
missioner Samuel NJ. Clement, Jr., and
James S. Benn, of Philadelphia, and
S. Killing, of Erie. are members. 1t
is said that the dismissals are being
made to cut down the operating ex-
penses of the department, as the ap-
preparation made by the recent legis-
lature will not allow the continuance
of all the present employees and the
reed of more stenographers has be-
come pressing. Among the men men,
toned for dismissal is a prominent
Pittsburgher, who has been with the
commission several years."
The Public Ledger says much the
same thing and the Philadelphia
Press. which often reflects Commits
sioners' views, likewise predicts a
shakeup.
