Marie Cahill and the Snare that Should Be Set for Her—Blanche Ring Is “One of the Boys’’ and Is Also the Lighfiof “Asi —Blanchky Walshovitch, the Sunshine of Siberia, Does a Neat Reform Change, ERISH the thought that I should bear Marie Cahill any ill-will, but I do wish that Weber and Fields would catch her. Please, dear Weber and Fields, won't you set a snare for Marie Cahill and cage her in your house of laughter? Believe me, it’s the house of laughter that I’m concerned about, You don’t know how I've been worrying ever since the approaching escape of La Templeton was announced. And some of the ladies that have been mentioned as likely to replace her (as if any one could replace the Templeton!) have filled me with the bitterness of despair. But the Cahill—ah! that would be different! pleton is irreplaceable, but the Cahill is unrivalable. Whether she can be lured from the Milky Way of stardom I know not, but you have had some experience in lassolng and taming stars, and—and —oh! it's no business of mine, of course, and I dare say both you and she feel like telling me 60; but I did think it was a rather bright idea. You see, I've just discovered Marie Cahill, It’s awfully jolly to dis- cover greatness a long time after everybody else has discovered it, You feel quite sure that nobody else really and truly knows as well as yourself, and it makes you want to preach, Not till this blessed week did I discover the Cahill, and I could preach about her by the column. I had never seen her before—honest! Knew the name, of course, but wasn't particularly interested. Never heard “Under the Bamboo Tree" except on a barrel organ, But that’s all right. I'd rather be late with my discoveries—there's more thrill in them that way. I'll not repine for the overworked bamboo “tree” (brilliant thought of a gentleman who evidently never saw a grove of bamboos), but will content me with Marie Cahill as I discovered her the other night in “Nancy Brown,” the prettiest and snapplest Mttle entertain- ment that's been seen in these latitudes for a blue moon, and an exact fit for the Bijou stage, Musical comedy on a tiny stage {s quite a treat after an orgy of ‘‘mam- moth productions.” And the people in it are clever, and do their work with inimitable spirit, Edwin Stevens, Alfred Hickman, Judith Berolde and the momentoys Jean Newcombe are especlally Mkable members of the Cahill's devoted little band. And the Cahill herself—— But no, I won't preach. The words to deacribe her fascination hayen'l been coined yet. as * ad Pd rd Pad LANCHE RING'S character as a comedian was fastened upon her partly by Nature and partly by “Tommy Rot." She is and ever must be “one of the boys,” It was as one of the boys—a jolly good fellow in petticoate—that Broad- way went to greet her, and she wisely honored the promissory note she had issued at Mrs, Osborn’s, . Big, hearty yitality is Mies Ring's long sult, and she is going to win out on it, Not an atom of Marie Pani’ delicious subtlety, you know, but shee oar It is true that the Tem- “4 SS “The same old crowd’—I think that’s the refrain of her first song— simply expresses her temperament, and it captures the sympathetic chuckles of every rollicker in the house, On the opening night she was guilty of one error of judgment, and that was in ostentatiously delivering her “tough” verse to the gallery. The gallery didn’t appreciate it a bit. Fifty-cent galleries don’t like the performers to assume that they hail from the Bowery, and I don’t blame ‘em, The orchestra chairs enjoy Miss Ring's delightful “toughness;" so would the gallery if she didn’t point it at them like a pistol. One. shudders to think of what “The Jewel of Asia” would be without Miss Ring. Its’ too bad that she should be condemned to illuminate the gloom of that sad production, but she “done her dooty,” like the good fellow she is, # Cd a a Cal ss HEN Blanchky Walshovitch was @ broth of a little bit of a colleen, tagging happily after her proud papa as he jingled his keys through the Tombsky Prisonkof—— When she was little Blanchky, the Sunshine of the Siberia of Centre Street, be jabera—— What wae I leading up to? Oh, yeso—— That Blanche Walsh, the turnkey’s daughter, has made good use of the sights and eounds that came to her in the unterrified and alldevouring time of childhood, Genius never wastes anything. It shovels in experience by the million tons, sorts it out and melts it down, and passes out an 18-carat nugget of art, hot from the furnace of real life. It’s the furnace that counts, and not the quality of the experience. Some minds would have carried those Tombs experiences through life in their original rawness, which wouldn't be nice, Blanche Walsh melted | them down into material for a Tolstoi heroine, Hence the astonishing Katusha Maslova, in “Resurrection.” Astonishing in the four stages through which Mies Walsh pictures the soul history of that Muscovite Magdalen, as a a Cad * ss N the prologue she dawns upon you, a red-cheeked peasant girl, as shy as a bird, In Act II. you don't easily recognize her in the brandy-soaked here ridan, who is the hardest and gloomiest member of the demoniac company in the women’s prison. The transition 1s as skilful as it is abrupt, and I don’t know whether Miss Walsh's make-up or her acting deserves the first bouquet, Both are wonderful, The former makes you fee) that the peasant girl is older by ten yearé—it might be twenty—and innumerable botties of cheap brandy. The latter makes you feel that the birdlike shyness has given place to degradation, despair and flerce resentment. Without a trace of exaggeration, without visible artifice, the actress stirs the abomination of drink and vice to the dregs, fills you with shudder- | ing without losing your sympathy, and never lets you forget that the har- ridan and the red-cheeked peasant girl were one and the same. Arthur Collins, the manager of Drury Lane Theatre, who was present on the opening night, sald; ‘She's as great as Charles Warner used to be in ‘Drink.’ " Which, to the veteran playgoer, 1 believe, means “some punkins.” * rad * * * * A ND when you watch that scene, perhaps it will please you, as it did me, to picture @ Mttle Miss Walsh in short frocks, studying wilh bright- eyed wonder the sad human drift that eddied into the jawe of the old ‘al abil house, blind monster of Egypt, that once crouched in Centre street, KATE CAREW, SeLs Leite iss CeetCuue FASCIN- ATING CAHILL.
