inasmuch as Mr. Ames regularly invites
lis audience to step downstairs during
intermissions and partake informally of
coffee, the reason for sorting out and
classifying the audiences is obvious.
Otherwise, there might take place the
gaucherie of Glenmore (Stuffy") Davis

The arrangement, therefore, was most
ideal, and at every performance thus
for each set has enjoyed itself huely,
since everybody present has been on
calling terms with bis neighbor. The
scheme really is an improvement over

Mr. Ames has produced Anatole

is a marvel of good taste and detail. Th.
players also have been chosen with
discreet knowledge of their fitness to
the roles assigned, and it is due to Mr

tribute the honor justly among the lead¬
ing women. Each suited her rose with
distinction. Miss Clark was winsome

Kane was a handsomme picture as the
circus lady. Doris, Kane never acted so
well in her career, as in her portraya
of the opera singer who is about to leave¬
Anatol for a poor musician in the or¬
chestra, and who, therefore, is intent on
drinking all the champagne possible at
her last supper with Anatol. Katherine
Emmet played Gabrielle, the married
woman, with a depth of feeling and a
fine sense of pathos, and Isabell Lee
gave a realistic exhibition of hysteries
when Lena discovers that Anatol is to
leave her for a bride.
The production of The Affairs of
Anatole is worthy in ever, respect.
