What Does Mr.. Haclxett speaks
One OF the special excelencies praised
in James X. Hacketts performances OF
Macbeth, in which he has found genuine
success in London. is his manner O.
using the English language 'Mr. Hack
ett's elocution was superb !" speaks the
blank verse more admirably than is the
custom with our English actors" 1T
would be finer ear than ours which
could detect anything American in mis-
accent'-these are typical OF the general
approval OF the actors use OF the Ian
guage. William Archer went so far as
to say that Mr.. Hackett's English was
particularly pure and cultivated"
In view of this London opinion. a Is.
difficult to understand the plight OF an
authoress who is about to produce a new
play here. She complains bitterly that
although she has listened to the voice
and speech of every actor available in
the theatrical exchanges at this time, IL
Is so impossible TO find an American
who can speak like n gentleman that
she will be compelled to put English
actors into all her leading parts.

Whether Miss Maude Adams returns
to the New York stage this winter or
not-she is still celebrating whether
her health is sufficiently restored for a
seasons grind--it is all but settled that
she will not act at the Empire Theatre.
Barrie's MARY Rose" will be given
there in December and the powers are
counting on long run for that piece.
So Miss Adams would have to begin her
season SO late that another theatre will
have to be found in case 1t is needed.
Miss Adams's New York ensaeennents
always have been associated with the
Empire, where her career as a star be-

that the stock company might return
there were stock companies in those
days--the play was removed to the Car
rick, where its long run was continued
Both in "L'Aiglon" and "Chantecler"
the actress appeared at the Knicker-
booker Theatre, and in this same play
house she acted in Quality Street" But
for the greater part of her New York
career she lodged artisticaly in the Em-
pire.
Miss Adams had decided long before
there was any doubt about her return to
the stage this year not TO play the lead
ing role in "Afary Rose which j. M.
Barrie intended for her just as be more
or less definitely intends all of his hero
ines for her. Miss Adams was delighted
when she read the play and more or less
decided to act the heroine. Then she
had a change of heart.
IT really could not bring myself she
told friend, ito play the part of a six
teen-year-old girl. That Is the age OF
Mary Rose in the first act have TO
come to that decision sooner or later.

Much as her admirers will regret 1t,
the actress may be wise. II was gen.
orally agreed the last time she acted at
the Empire that she looked-wel. at
least, twenty.
New Musical Play Approaching.
Ray Goetz, who gave "As You Were"
to New York last winter, has a sue
cessor to that play which may arrive

the name when the time comes to an

week at a Brooklyn playhouse the now

Anna Wheaton were the leading men,

Miss Edith Hallor left the Winter Gar
den to Join Mr.. Goetz. and William Kent
also was added to the company. Since
their accession the piece has become
''vogues and vanlties," with plenty Of
time TO change before the Boston en-
gagement Is ended.
Fred Latham ana q Veteran Play.

find a plot for THE Half Moon" which
still is beaming at the Liberty Theatre,
he took no risks. He picked out play
that had stood the test OF time The

Miss Patti Harold Urges More
study of Our Language.
Miss Patti Harold, playing the title
role in Irene" believes hat there should
be society for the promotion of clar-
ity In speaking the English language
or some such organization to encourage
a respect for the spoken language Of our
country. Just the every day use of Eng
lish she believes, could be much inn
proved to the benefit of every one con-
cerned; and that it is carelessness only
that makes beautifully spoken English
unusual.
Miss Harold. who is the daughter of
Orville Harold, operate singer, holds
that spoken language is an art, just as
painting or sculpture. singing or dancing,
with the additional merit of not demand
ing a long course of study or any ex-
traneous materials wherewith to demon
strate ones talents Furthermore she
insists that a reverence for the mother
tongue-English--is much needed to-day
'0rhe student of French and Italian"
says Miss Harold, "is always anxious to
speak the foreign tongue clearly and
correctly. takes great pains to get every
accent and infection just so, enunciate
every syllable, and speak another Ian

Every day English is worthy of suf

1t hundreds OF times for once that we
sing it, so the speaking voice should be

beautiful, just as musical. when correctly
spoken, as French or Italian. and far
more so than German"

be impossible now for instance, for a
smiling hostess. merely by saying gra-
ciously to the maid of all work We

prodigality OF a modish board, as the

Niggcr. you're too fresh" suggest that
the strict decorum Of fashionable

cost. Such mistakes are no longer made.
But it is not easy to understand Miss
Kate McLaurin's lodging house in

floor evidently a fast--very fast he is
said to be. although he does no more
than open" a pint of wine in the pres

gests an early period of metropolitan
