Chauncey Olcott, the inimitable

vals in her box stall.
But after all when Chauncey Ol
cott is in a play, the plot and most
of the other characters are. of minor
consideration. And when Chauncey
Olcott sings well, nothing stirs but
the heart of one and it fair melts in
the sweetness.
Mif. Olcott has been said to be
getting old. He says he is o9. and
that being true 59 Is the bloom of
I youth. He may be -old but he cer

I Vuln lten Mentioned
Only once in the whole course of
the play did he allude to having. the
same name as the governor Of Ore

act in which he and the heroine
"Pal" Boyer (Madge West") are dis
cussing Sir Brian Fitzgerald's (Mr.
