perous season. The play is too well-knoKTi
to go Into detail regarding its true merits.
An excellent company of established play
ers has been engaged to interpret the

ance of the play is insured.
"The Christian."
The coming of Hall Calne's powerful
drama, "The Christian," with our own
Catherine Countias as Glory Quale, sup
ported by an excellent company to the

Because she refused to allow the leading man
to kiss her on the lips, Mabel Bardlne, leading
laiy of the Leonard Scarlett stock company,
of Baltimore, Md., was asked to realm her
position with the company. Mr. Scarlett says:
The lo e-maklnr from a. scene in Tolstoi's
"Resurrection was so cold, insincere and In
different that It had a corresponding effect
upon the audience. The fact that Miss Bar
dlne would not let me kiss ner on the mouth
shows that she is headstrong. A few great
octreses, Mary Anderson, for Instance, have
objected to being kissed, but we do not hear
much objection In these days." Miss Bardlne
fajs- "I am a Southern woman, and for
reckons known to me I refuse to allow Mr.
Eairlett to Kiss me." Grace Van Studdlford,
of the "Red Feather" company, says that ehe
docs not belleev In promiscuous kissing. Elsie
de. Vcre sajs: "It Is all right to kiss In a
I lay. It would make no difference to me If the
man were ugly. But it would be ery hard
If he were dirt " Lillian Kemble, of the
Xelll-Moorsco company: "In love-making
scenes I really make loie to the actor whom
I am with on the stage, and I kiss him on
the mouth. A make-believe kiss would spoil
the sentiment."

"Dairy Farm," Is one of the richest actors in
America. He has real estate holdings to the
value of $100,000 In New Tork and vicinity,

A novelty In the way of showing the method
of making up is the act of McWatters and

such Insurance at any price. And
you will find that we have paid even
more than the customary rate for
this week's bill, headed by
