PETER Pi WITH PECULIAR INTERES Miss Bruhe Comes From Australia to Learn to Play Maude Adams' Role. Of all the *.000 people—there were that many—who aaw Mina Mamie Adame play "Peter Pan" during her four daya' atay In Atlanta, the moat aerloualy Interested perhaps was Miss Slttell Brune, of Sydnay, Australia, who had come across the sea to learn how to play the role that Miss Adams car. rlex so magnificently. This Is Miss Adams’ third season and probably her last In "Peter Pan.” 8he will moat likely put It aside for something new that ul 1 r create a fresh sensation on Broadway. Australia, al most off the tnap. takes up only plays that have proved successes In New York and London.
