brilliant. II is as IL the playwright

impressive roles Of the sniveling,
rheumatic lord and the frivolous
Lady Kitty. There will be matinee
on Saturday.
Mrs. Leslie Carter's career fur
nishes the history of the American
stage with one OF its unique chap
ters. w.
She was brought up in Louisville
society. She married into Chicago
society. She ranked among the
southern bells from the day she lett
school. Her beauty, vivacity and
athletic prowess--she was the most
daring rider in the whole Blue Grass
country when Leslie Carter, western
railway magnate, made her his wife
were celebrated. And this celebrity
had much to do with her decision
to 20 on the stage.
Would she start in comedy or
tragedy? Which did she prefer? !,
II am q horsewoman," she replied
to these questions. II wish to make
my entrance on horse leaping over
= hurdle"
More remarkable even than that
was her determination to start as a
star. When David Belasco, to whom
she turned for advice and assistance,
heard OF that he fed to the country.
Mrs. Carter followed him and they
say that her eloquent plea, made to
his butler, was the turning point in
this singular adventure. Belasco, It
seems, overheard the talk At the
door. He noted the fair callers ami
nation and earnestness. He had al-
ready been impressed with the re-
nowned crowd OF Titan hair. Any
how, he undertook, for the first and
last time, to make a star out of a
beautiful woman without stage ex-
perience. It took him FIVE years, for
it was not until "The Heart Of
Maryland" production that Mrs. Car
ter really conquered the playgoing
public. "Zaza," "Du Barry" and
AAdrea" followed, AZ Belasco pro-
ductions, and all more firmly estab-
fishing Mrs. Carter's fame not only
on the American, but also on the
English stage. Her wonderous hair,
her finely chiseled features and her
emotional power often caused her
to be compared with Bernhard.
