oPEAKING of Mrs. Large reminds me
- Of the Cushman Club. in which she
has been interested ever since its in
stitution, and Of which she is one Of the
vice presidents. Did you know that next
winter the managers OF the CushmaI
Club have decided TO hold II series OF
actors afternoons in the foyer Of the
Academy Of Music? Yes, aud already
they have secured Annie Russell and
Ethel Barrymore. who will be the
guests Of honor on two Of the afternoons
and Mary Roberts Rinehnrt, who had
four plays all going at once in New

will come on for an afternoon each, too.
Won't It be interesting?
! understand they are going to ask

very good. They are to be given on six
afternoons.
