Miss Crescy has studied long and hard in preparation for stage work. It is entirely safe to affirm that Miss Crescy's personality and bor de termlncd Industry will In the neai future mark her as a serious dramatic possibility. Already in her very first part she shows much of the Intuitive grasp of the actress that is born, not made.

A flexible face that easily takes dramatic impressions and retains them, a voice which has been trained into obedience, and a sweet person, combine to make her a very fortunate young aspirant. She is at present play' lng with 'very fair effect the part of Fatty In "Mrs. B. O'Shaughnessey' (Wash Lady), with George W. Monroe, In these days, says the Dramatic Mirror, when New York is recognized a.i the center of the American theatric' al world, it is hard to realize that less than half a century ago this city occu pied the second, If not the third, place in the business of the theater.

Phila dedphia a that time was reckoned the Mecca of the engagemcntless actor, as well as the goal to which the success ful members of the profession our neyed in order to gain, if possible, the stamp of approval from the most crit ical American audiences. Reputations were made there, new plays were pro duced there, and in the offices of the quiet old city the plans were formulat ed for all of the important productions 01 the time. "The Visit" is a French play that tells the story of a man whose wife had such a mania for moving the furniture around that no room looked the same for two days. He was methodical in his habits and reduced to seeking a divorce on the ground of incompatibility of temperament. They meet again through, a matrimonial agency and are about to be reunited when the woman shows again that the moving mania is strong on her still.

So they give up the idea of matrimony, but decide to remain good friends. Alexander Dumas, the elder, not only wrote original dramas, but translated the classics of other countries into his own tongue. Among these were Shak-speare's "Hamlet" and Schiller's "The Robbers." It was' recently discovered that he had also made a free transla tion of Schiller's "Fiesko," under the title "Fiesque de Lavagana." It was r.ever acted. Dumas is said to have had a greater admiration for Schiller than for Goethe, in whose works he found little that was available. Viola Allen, in "The Christian" has this season kept up the remarkable record for receipts last year, in which in thirty-one weeks the receipts amounted to J392.000.

This season, for five weeks in Chicago, Miss Allen's receipts averaged $13,000 per week, and In Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburg the takings were $12,000 a week each. In St. Louis the enormous amount of J16.200 was taken In during eight performances. 1 A shipment of American black bass was made to France, and they have flourished so mnrvelously that today they are common articles ot diet la the hotels and restaurants.

To assist a certain charity In the prov lnces, ahe offered a kiss to be put up at auction. The bidding was brisk, and had advanced In three leaps from two guineas to thirty, when, without further parley, tbe round sum of 100 pounds was offered. There being no higher bid, the kiss was knocked down by the auctioneer to a colonel In one of England's crack regiments, who came forward to meet the blushing actress. But to the surprise of all present, the colonel Introduced a dear little fair-haired boy, explained that It was his grandson's fifth birthday, and that he had acquired the kiss as a birthday gift for him, whereupon Miss Terry took the child in her arms and discharged her debt without 1ft terest.

When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tubo restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ton are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but uu Inflamed condition ot the mucus surfaces.

Henry Irving gnyt Tliat too Star Is Alwayi Keeping I'ar with Troirrui Ilallevea That riayen Are Degeuert Inj Somewhat. In response to the recent Inquiry: "Has the stage degenerated?" Henry Irving replied: "Degenerated? Good-new, no! The stage has not degenerate. I was asked that question sixteen years ago. Sort of an old bird, as It were. I have given the subject a good deal of thought elnco then, and have come to the conclusion that, (while the people of the stage may have degenerated, the stage itself has not.

And I don't think It ever will. The young never see the so-called degeneracy. It is always the old who seo what they consider a retrograde movement." "In what light do you view Ibsen's Influence on the writing of plays?" he was asked. "I don't care a great deal about answering that question, because I cannot confess to being an admirer of the man. He has influenced to some extent the writings of plays, but not the spirit.

He has also influenced the method of dialogue. Ibsen's dialogue Is a great thing for the actor. It goes along as moothly as the unwinding of a spool of cotton." Cyrano had a historical counterpart In Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer, who wore a golden nose. He was astronomer, poet, painter, fighter and what not. James I.

of England, when lie was James VI. of Scotland, called him familiarly by his first name, made him presents, and wrote verses about him. Honors were heaped on him at home and abroad, yet he married a peasant girl, an act which raised such a rumpus between him and his family that the king was obliged to act as peacemaker. Like Cyrano, Brahe was ready to fight, with or without provocation. He lost his original nose in a duel, and made the substitute himself.

It was of gold, skillfully covered with wax. Hopper has caught the London public with his skit based on Grundy's DE WOLF HOPPER. "Degenerates." which was written for him bv W. H. Post.
