Up to this time Of the sesqui-

comedy, "The Rivals the great
est role of Mrs. Fiske's career
stood out conspicuously in her
creation Of Becky Sharp in the
Decentralization of Thackeray's
Vanity Fair" In that part she
had extraordinary scope for her
rare and admirable quality OF m
teIlectuaI character, and that
ample professional equipment which
has made her an authentic leader
of our stage.
But, perhaps, no service she has
rendered the stage will surpass
that of her encoura cement OF that

For this service, Mrs. Fiske is
eminently qualified. She is the
possessor of a theatrical record

the age of three years that the
actress, then little Minnie Mad

TAME STUFF, THESE

Dagmar. zone would think that
even children were not safe there.
AS a. matter Of fact I would much
rather trust myself in Limehouse
than in many sections OF New
York. Burke almost makes
people believe that the sun never
shines there. 1t shines just as
frequently there as it does in any
other part of England. Sand there
is inst as much sunshine,
figuratively speaking, in the hves
of it's inhabitantN.

The cast in the original pro-
duction century and a half ago
was one of notable merit: Mrs.
Green as Mrs. Malaprop, Mr..
Shutter as Sir Anthony Absolute,
Mr.. Lee as Sir Lucius O'Trigger,
Mr.. Woodward as Captain Abso-
lutte, Mr.. Quick as Bob Acres,
Miss Barsants as Lydia Lam
guish, Mrs. Lessingham as Lucy,
Mr.. Lewis as Falkland, Mrs.
Buckley as Julia, Mr.. Lewes as
Fag, Mr.. Dunstal as David, and
Mr.. Pearson as Thomas, the
coachman.
In this country, "The Rivals"
was a constant fayorite in Days
stock company in New York.
Joseph jefferson began to give
it regularly in 1881 with Mrs.
John Drew as Mrs Malaprop
and Maurice Barrymore as Cap
tain Absolute, and, after William
]. Florence Joined the company,
so Mrs. Drew writes in her
memoirs, jefferson continued to
play it until 1892.
In 1896 jefferson took an all
star cast of "The Rivals" on the
road for months tour, playing
one-night stands. In that cast
Jefferson played Bob Acres, Mrs.
Drew was seen as Mrs. Mala-
prop, William H. Crane as Sir
Anthony Absolute, Robert Taber
as Captain Absolute, Joseph Hol-
land. as Falkland, Nat Goodwin
as Sir Lucins, E. NJ. Holland as
Fag, Francis Wilson as David,
Julia Marlowe Taber as Lydia
Languish, and Fanny Rice as
Lucy. The late Lolita Crabtree
had been originally cast for
Lucy, but at the last moment, it
is said, the great Lolita took
fright, and Fanny Rice was en-
gagged in her pace. That was
the last tour of "The Rivals"
previous to the present under
taking.
In the last two years there
have been two special produc-
fions of tSThe Rivals" which
were sect in New York only.
In 1922 the Players Club pre-
sented It for its annual offering
