Mrs.' Patrick Campbell at Hcilig.
Mm. .Patrick Campbell, supported bj
her own London company, from her
own theatre, the Royalty, In London,
England, cornea to the IlelUg theatre
for a -two nights' engagement, com-
, menclnlt Monday night. During her en
gagement here she will present her two
nest Known plays, "Tne tsecona Mrs.
Tanqueray," Monday evening and Tues
day evening ino .notorious jots, mu
smlth." As the stellar figure in these two
Plnero plays, Mrs. Campbell has
achieved a notable success. She Is
' called the greatest "Tanqueray." Surely
no on -has ever so graphically pictured
this capricious Woman as Mrs. Camp
bell. Her Paula Tanqueray Is played
witn ail tne Intensity of repressed emo
tion. Most Tanqueray. It has been said,
have been emotional females who were
allowed full freedom of passionate out
bursts whenever the mood came on, but
Mrs. Campbell's "Paula" is constrained
and' her tempestuous feelings are de
scribed with a quiet, but none the less
vivia, painrumess. Ana so it is wun
her Agnes Ebbsmith. Seldom does Mrs.
Campbell allow her voice to rise above
. tne ordinary tone, and tne general aia
. logue has the effect of a mere conversa
tional flow. But the heart Is there.
There la no denying that Tanqueray is
mostly soul; Ebbsmith mostly heart.
Both women want to do the right thing,
but they take different paths to achieve
the same results. Seats are now selling
at theatre for both nights.

All the Hoyt plays hold capacity rec

Ibsen Matinees at the Baker,
Next Wednesday and Thursday after
noons, members of the Baker will ap
pear In two special matinees, which
will be the initial events of their kind
In the history of the theatre. Theatre
goers of all classes, as well as students
of the famous Norwegian dramatist,
Henrlck Ibsen, are attracted by these
matinee performances of his master
piece, Rosmersholm, nnd another un
usual thing Is that they will be glyen
at tne regular naKer matinee prices.
"Rosmersholm" Is a great tragedy of
numan lire, -it is a powerrul story and
takes unlimited liberties with ordinary
customs - and conventionalities, but
teaches a lesson to all who will under
stand that they will never forget. It
la a classic, of course, and takes only
six cnaracters to present, but these six
persons must be ones who can -act. Miss
Stoddard, the capable leading woman of
the Baker company, has made the fam
ous Norwegian writer a special study
for several years, and has been closelv
associated with some of the world's
famous stars, gleaning from them
many valuable suggestions and ideas.
and her portrayal of the abnormal
character of Rebecca West Is the result
of most careful training, coupled with
strong emotional powers and artistic
temperament. The story of the play is
too long to cover completely and will

Great interest has been expressed In
tnese events at the Baker and the de
mand for seats has been very heavy.

sired. The story tells of a young member
of the Texas Rangers, a semi-cowboy
organisation from which the Rough
Riders of President Roosevelt were re
cruited. The adventures of this hero
among the hostile Indians and the
renegade whites is thrilling and filled
with excitement One of the- most
startling climaxes ever conceived for a
dramatic production la In one of the
acts. Here the small garrison, hemmed
in on all sides and maklnir a flvht
against overwhelming odds of Indians,
are about to be massacred. The daugh
ter of the commander, rather than fall
into the hands of the enemy entreats
her father to kill her when the Indians

to murder her and thus' save her honor.

WHAT YALE HEN EAT.
They Average 029 rounds of Meat a
Day for One Thing
Some statistics have been published
by the Yale Dining club to show what
the 1,068 members of that organization
who eat at the Yale commons manage to
get away wuh In the line of food. In
a week, lor instance, 6,600 pounds of
meat, 900 dozen eggs and 5.100 rolls
and loaves of bread disappear down the
Yale throat
The dai.v consumption is about like
this: Nine hundred and twenty-nine
pounds of meat, subdivided into 2AR
pounds . of roast beef, '84 pounds of
poultry. 144 pounds of lamb 143 noundsi
of pork and 72 pounds of steak; 100
loaves of bread. 1,200 rolls, 60 pounds
of oatmeal, 1,200 quarts-of milk, 120'
auarts of cream. 120 pounds of thl
butter and a like amount for cooking
gurposes, and from three to . four
unches of bananas, as well as 20 bush.
,els of potatoes. ;
Two hundred gallons of soup Is pre
pared dally for two meals. 8everai
years ago, when the club had 1,050
members, the figures showed an equal
preference for meat but not so decided
a anlng toward eggs. Otherwise the
ltems( were proportionately; the same. .
