To hear that play has failed to

mining the probable popularity of a
drama, are now insignihcant-or, at
least. they have been during the pres

and women altogether odious was

1t would be no easy matter how
ever, to discover a native actress to
do credit to any role SO foreign to
their ordinary experience. Grace
George. easily the most polished OF
our Light condolences, would probably
have come nearer to a skilful inter

Miss Kane was IN the tolls with the

stands forth that acting for the movies
Is mainly matter of perspiration, not
