Ordi- narily, such misaives would be vulgarly Galled “mash notes,” bat being ad- @ressed to a composer instead of to an stor they should, perhaps, be given a More artistic clasaitication, One letter, however, was from a sweet young thing, who lafd bare her soul and tedtined that for many moons she had Greamed of the {ntermezzo, and that how, since hearing it under Mascagui's @jrection, sho neither dreams nor sleeps, but les awake nights think of it and him. Shoe confessed it was she who daily @ent flowers to her ideal, and further Mttests her adoration by saying that after hearing “Cavalleria Rusticana” and seeing its composer she hung @round the Metropolitan Opera-House ‘Until 2 o'clock in the morning, hoping to see him come out, and experience the blies of & word with him or the humble pleasure of touching the hem of his Ttallan cut coat.

For nearly an hour on the day of her arrival she vat modestly in the recep- Uon-room of the Holland House, waiting until the management could make shifte whereby could, be accommodated with a small suit of rooms. As she patiently sat there, her {dentity not guessed by the other occupants of the room, a lady rustled in and sweep- ing up to the great actress, exclaimed: “You're the French dressmaker I sent for, I suppose, I'm so glad you came!" Duse merely raised her eyebrows and shook her head. The woman who had made the amusing mistake curtly said, “I beg your pardon,” then turned and sorted out the foreign modiste she was expecting. |. OPAT! ON MR, BLAIR, narkable, for a woman, {s the 5! Mrs, Campbell ts maintaining on lence John Blair's disaffection and resiznation her has mts and had from her company, In answer to leading man’s complaint that she nagged him with unpleasant comm on his acting, both at rehearsals performances, Mrs, Campbell hi virtually nothing to say. To The Evening World yesterday, how- ever, she dictated the following statement with the strict Inlunction st shou:d be printed exactely in her own words: “Mrs. Campbell has had no difference nor discussion with Mr. Blair at re- hearsals or otherwise. Mr. Blair, sud- denly, during the performance of ‘Tan- queray’ on Monday night, resigned his part In the new play, Mrs. Campbell Iles in her agreements with her company, Her business manager advised her to accept Mr. Blalr's restz- nation on the condition that he con- tinued his role of Tanqueray until the end of the present revival." So there now MONKEY MADE TROUBLE. Perhaps it was the same monkey that went to see Mrs. Campbell play Paula that scurried {nto the Casino during re- hearsal one afternoon this week and scared the “Honeymoon” girls nearly Into fits, Brideematds and all gathered wu: skirts and with high C precipitately, 1 Manhelmer, a trusty on the Shu- hetr screams fled berts, and doorman at the Hemid Square, happened to be qn hand, and promptly concluded that here was 4 chance to get into the “legit” s the hero. ie, accordingly joord” the monk" into. a corner, with the rity of ait organeg soon had attering intruder oned tn phi and de: Imprii the 4 box, Hearing a door he urchins who rela commotion at the stage found there a group of excited od they had seen the monkey hopping along the street and was attempting to capiure it when it took a notion to go on the stage and turned into the stage entrance of the Cazino, Sol took the monkey to the Shubert offices and immediately inserted an ad- vertigement in the papers announcing It had been found, and telling whore it could be covered, Then he bought 4 cage in which to, keop thé restive little creature until a chiimant oppeared, Three daya later the owner of the money called, ile said he was A.

You remember the great Yen How, with his one little, two little, three little, four little, lone little, live little wives? Tho fascinating combination is irresistibly recalled by Everyman and his four retainers, Beaute, Strengthe, Dyscretion and Five- ‘Wyttes. Which ts Beaute and which Five-Wyttes matters not. Like Strengthe and Dyscretion, they'are labelled with ribbons bear- ing their names in Old English characters, but otherwise all four are as much alike as angels on a Christmas card. They prob- ably represent the nearest approach to the modern ballet that was reached in the Middle Ages. One tremb.es to think of the “effects” Mr. Edward BH. Rice would have achieved with Beaute, “All right," replied Sol, “may you be monkoyless the rest of your days.” “Not if the law can help it,” quoth Richardson. And straightway hicing himself to the Jefferson Market Police Court, he pra. cured a warrant for Sal's arrest on the charge of unlawful detention of prop- erty. When Sol learned of this, he tele- phoned the man to come for his measley monkey,| Then, fishing out his ever-ready ex- pense account, Sol wrote: For monkeying with a monkey. A GALLANT HERO, Gallantry took precedence over art during a performance of “The Little Mother's at the American Theatre Wea- nesday afternoon. The hero was in the midst of an im- passioned declaration of love. “Nan, he was saying in earnest trembling tones, say to you.” The heroine, her eyes on a knot-hole in the fi "Nan,"" went on the hero, huskter at every word, “you one to care for you no A tremor shook the girl’ ha nearer, and bending tenderly ovet “I want you to let me"— $3.00 tighe on the ankle. —"present you with interpolated the hero, and pte! handed to “Nan,” ‘Then he went stooping on and told And Nan?

Strengthe +» Miss Maxine Hlliot Mrs. Patrick Campbell Dyscretion . «sees Mise Edna May Five-Wyttes ... ; Miss Henrletta Crosman But not even that combination could prevent Miss Mathcson, who plays Everyman, from being the beginning and end and mid- dle of the morality play. For imparting a deep, abiding. de- spatring, refined and not gaudy fifteenth century fit of the blues, she hasn't an equal. I suspect her of having played Ibsen. If she hasn't, I'm sure she could.
