He belongs to that class of actors who reach tHe high places by years of steady climbing, lather than by sudden and eccentric leaps. He spent 12 seasons playing in Shakespearean and other classic repertoire, and augmented bis acting experience by Intensive study outside the theater. After be had served what he refers to as his "apprentice ship.” he joined the company of the famous Mme. Modjeska and remained with her for three seasons. Mr. [ Kyle was characterized by the fam ous foreign actress as “the most versatile actor she had ever met." He is appearing at the Orpheuni this week in “The House at the Cross roads," a one act playlet by Paul Gerard Smith. "Soubrette" is a word of which few men and women not of the stage have a complete understanding. The average person merely knows that it refers to "some kind of an actress" or other, hut flirthei than that they cannot go. And even the dictionary doesn’t Help much. A '‘soubrette" Is defined as “an actress in light jcomedy, originally a pert. Intriguing lady’s maid." And besides adding that the word is derived from the French, the dictionary let it so at that. Arnette Creighton billed as Miss Sottbrelte in "Let’s Go" at the Gayety theater, has her own defini tion. she saya that a aoubrette in burlesque is nothing more or less than sort of a first-lieutenant to the featured principal; that her duties i onsj-t chiefly In leading the com panv in lioth vocal and dance num bers when the captain isn’t around. Which seems to he a good enough definition, to which might he added the fact that, when speaking of this particular souhrette, ihe dictionary is emphatically right about Hie "pelt” and "intriguing" parts of the defini tion.
