comes on, one, after
another of Uncle Sam’s theatrical daughters
announces that she will pass the winter in
the drawing room instead of “on the boards,”
and it begins to look as if the whole class
of theatregoers-who-have-favorltsa will have
just cause to remark with one of their num¬
ber: “Ah, well! we old fogies will have to
look around for new faces this winter.”
There is Mrs. Potter, for instance. Mrs.

so very long; it is said by some that her

Gossip (and gossip is seldom exaggerated on
the side of kindness) has it that Bellew him¬
self is the cause of Mi’s. Potter’s sudden de¬
sertion of America. The story goes that, ,
notwithstanding Mrs. Potter's well known
independence, Bellow has enough influence
over her to make her betid her will to his in
the selection of her green rooms. The scoring
Bellow received in American newspapers be¬
cause of his unsavory revelations about Mrs.
Leslie Carter and other women whose names
had been mixed up with his made him hate
America and fear Yankee newspaper report¬
ers. For these reasons It is said that he has
bid good-by to America for good, and has in¬
duced Mrs. Potter to save her smiles for au¬
diences of other nationalities too, for a time
at least.
Another vacancy in the American theatri¬
cal bill of fare, which has caused much more
concern than has Mrs. Potter’s decision, is
that left by Mary Anderson—“Our Mary,”
as her admirers are fond of calling
her. She is their Mary no longer. A

this season. The newspapers are said to be at
the bottom of this, too. The St. Louis press
is principally blamed. When the famous
woman last appeared unmercifully. hi that city the critics
assailed her Not one of the
manifold beauties which the critics of other
cities had seen in her acting could their St.
Louis brethren perceive. And they said so
in such plain English that the actress felt it
keenly. Then, not long ago, the story that
she had been placed in an English lunatic
asylum went the rounds of the American
press. That, it is claimed, was the last straw.
She felt that die had been affronted far past
the atoning power of the American dollar.
She decided not to visit America No, never.
Well—that is, not this season anyway.
Tho retirement of Helen Dauvray-Ward
causes genuine regret to thousands of Ameri¬
can piaygoei’s. With this case the papers
have nothing to do. They Viave never treated
Mrs. Ward in other than tho kindest fashion,
end no one thinks that sho doesn’t deserve all
the praise they have given her, and more,
too. Haro is an actress of a thousand. Her
fame is not notoriety. She has gained every
bit of it by honest, hard and inteUigeut work.
Her real maiden name was Helen Williams.
She first stood behind the footlights when she
was only 5 years old as Eva in “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin.” Years later, after she had won
something of a reputation in tho States, she
went to Australia and earned a fortune. It
occurred to her that she was not well edu¬
cated. She stopped acting, studied hard and
remedied the defect. Finally she went to

though when she appeared in New York as
Lady Macbeth she received considerable
praise. But to the pit (apd the pit’s opinion,
after all, is the one to go by) her stage work,
as her continued popularity shows, has been
far from disagreeable. Aside from her abil¬
ity as an actress—granting that she has abil¬
ity—she has undoubted and perhaps more
valuable gifts. She is a thorough woman of
business and is sociallycharming. The man¬
ager who has got the better of her in a money
transaction has yet to be heard from. During
Mrs. Langtry’s residence in New York, a
rural looking gentleman met a natty looking
city friend at one of the elevated railroad
stations, who asked him what he was doing
in New York.
“I’ve come to the eity to see Mrs. Langtry,”
he replied.
“Mrs. Langtry? Aren’t you pretty well
along to begin theatre goingP’
“Theatre going? I never went to a theatre
in my life, and I ain't going to begin now.
I’m going to see her on business, and I’d
rather work on a scaffolding all day than do
It. If she plays theatre pieces as well as she
talks business she plays cute, now, J tell you."
She owns one or two ranches in the western
states, and has a fine stable of blooded horses.
In 1887 she appeared at Carson, Nev. The
railroad from there to Virginia City was nar¬
row gauge and her special car could not
travel on it, so she drove across country in
the mail coach. Before she arrived in Vir¬
ginia City she had made a deal with Mr. Sam
Davis, of The Carson Appeal, to buy of him
forty acres of land on condition that she sink
an artesian well on it. When the shaft had
gone down 240 feet traces of stiver were
found, and before long a regular bonanza
had been developed. The ore assayed $510 to
the ton. The mine is half hers. Besides the
properties already mentioned she owns real
estate in New York and other American
cities
Oscar Wilde once said: “There ore but two
purely Greek things in Europe. One is the
the other is Mrs.
Langtry.”
Much has been
written about Mrs.
Langtry and Fred¬
dy Gebhard.
Among other re¬
ports that have
been circulated is

Grace Hawthorne, too, has decided not to
play in America this season. She is the
young actress who created something of a
sensation as “Only an American Girl" at one
time, although it is said that she had to “go
to London to get the recognition which she
deserves.” Perhaps, if that is true, it has
something to do with her desertion of her na¬
tive land.
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., whose marital
infelicities will be clearly remembered, was,
it was currently reported, to take to the stage
this and It

members of their families, and it is more
than probable the charges wero true, for that
was an evil time. Men were whipped, robbed,
murdered; women were iusulted, outraged,
driven from their homes. Each army con¬

was that in July tto New Yorks won 18
games out of 23, a record not evsn approached
by any of the other clubs. Thi* steady play

Chicago* fell off badly, and after having
