"The White Sister" in Minneapolis, last
January, there came to her a dirty
scrawl penciled in a 10-centlodglng-house

anything else in her big album of au

Three of the company are stellar
piscatorial artists (Hush, we mean that
they fish when they get the chance),
and it is whispered that ttt is the one
thing they would rather do than act

fish certainly does not sound so onerous
as rehearsals and performances. These
three men, William Dills, Earl Dwlre
and Nell McKinnon will spend the Sum
mer months In the mountains. All
good luck to them.

The Queen, as is well known, set her
self firmly against social recognition
of actresses, but she has been unable
to withstand Miss Elliott's beauty and
charm. Among the noblemen who have
been conspicuous by their attentions to
Miss Elliott are Lord Curxon. of Keele

of Chicago, and whose ead death some
years ago was an event of International
mourning. , ' -
At Epsom Downs during Derby weeK
Miss Elliott was the only actress to be
observed within- the royal enclosure.
Certainly she was the most beautiful
woman present. Time only seems to
enhance the brilliancy of her loveli

sumptuous description, and an invita

no surpclse to learn that our charming
leading; lady at the Baker, Alice Fleming-,
does not in the least know what
to do. She may know what she ought
to do; that is another thing-. Portland,
however, has done one thing- for her.
With its tastes of what a Summer
climate should be, it has made her
dread the heat in the cities of the East,
and she does not want to return there,
at least until the Autumn season opens,
All the same she has had several
tempting- offers to return to the scenes
of some of her previous triumphs in
Canada and the East, and possibly the
call of the profession may triumph
over her personal dislike for swelter
ing- neath a baking sun.
