The portraits of honored heroes adorned Iho
walls , nnd the profusion of decorations , to
gether with a display of accoutrements and
all else that goes to make a military recep
tion what It should bo , were neatly arranged
for the occasion. A vision of such seemed
to malto the old soldiers fool young again ,
and they thus freely mingled with the future
defenders of "Old Glory. " Many Jokes and
Interesting stories were related , wnlch pro-
vokoJ any amount of laughter and inorrl-
ment from the members of the Hides.
The display of the Oalveston championship

TrtnimiliN of Orent ActreiHen When
Wearing Seek and Iliixklii.
Mlsa j\Ca .Rehan's appearance In the part
of Prince Hal , Shakespeare's madcap hero o
"Henry VIII. , " marks the revival of aclrcsscs
In male characters. It is also announce !
that Miss Vera Berlnger , who was the orig
inal Little Lord Fauntloroy In London , and
her slstor , MLss Esmo Berlnger , nro studying
the parts of Romeo and Juliet. This Is the
first time since the days of Charlotte Cush-
tnan that these famous roles haov been as
sayed by two sisters.
As early as 1838 Mlai Cushmon played the
male part of Rolt In "Pocahontas , " n drama
by George Washington Parko Custls , and her
career at the Park theater. In New York , as
"utility actress" deevloped her capaclly In
this direction. It was when she began he :
nccond London engagement at the Haymarkc
In 1845 that she appeared as Romeo , selecting
the orlgUuj play Instead of the acting version
then In vogue. Her Idea of playing this
tragic lover's part was chiefly to bring out
her sister Susan. She mot with great suc
cess , for the play ran olghly nlghls , then a
wonderful length , and had an extended tour
In the provinces.
The London Times said : "It Is enough to
say that the Romeo of MIs = i Cushman Is far
superior to any Romeo wo have over had.
The distinction Is not ono ot degree ; It Is ono
ot kind. For1 a long tlmo Romeo has been a
convention. Miss Cushman's Romeo Is a
creation , a living , breathing , animated , ar
dent human being. * Miss Cushman
looks Romeo exceedingly -well ; her dcport-
moat la frank and easy ; she walks the stage
with nn air of command ; her eye beams with
animation. In a word , Romeo Is ono of her
grand succeses. "
Although Mmo. Sara Bcrnhardt has never
appeared as Romeo In Ihls country , she Is
said to both look and act the part ot that
passionate young lover with consummate art.
Though ChaVlotto Cushman la associated
chiefly with Lady Macbeth and Meg Mer-
rltles , she achieved great renown as Cardinal
Wolsey. On n few occasions sno played
Hamlet , which her biographer , Emma Steb
blns , say "glvo her Intensepleasure. . " Miss
Cushinau alludes to It In some of her loiters
as the very highest effort she had ever made ,
and the most exhausting of nil her parts ,
this ono seemed to fill out most completely
the entire range of her powers. Miss Mar
riott appeared as Hamlet at Sadlcra Wells ,
London , under her own management In 1SG4 ,
and In 1870 appeared In New York In the
samerole. .
Another woman who gained early distinc
tion In this line was Mrs. John Drew , who
began her career sixty-eight years ago as
the Duke of York to the "Richard III. " of
Junlua Brutus Booth. She played also Ham
let as well as Dr. Pangloss In the "Heir at
Law. " The latter character she appeared
In about 1629.
Pretty Peg Wofflngton , the heroine ot
Charles Reado's novel , was famous for her
man's characters and Sir Harry Wlldalr , In
the "Constant Couple , " will always be as
sociated with her name. She first played It
In 1738 In Dublin , taking the town by
storm , and It is said ono maiden refused to
bellevo that It was played by a woman and
offered her hand In marriage to Iho hand
some Peggy , She made a great sensation
when she appeared In London In this char
acter In 1740 , which had never before been
acted there by a woman. "It waa ad
mitted , " says Macklln , "that Peg Wellington
represented the gay , good-humored , dissi
pated rpke of fashion with an ease and ele
gance of deportment that seemed almost out
of the roach of female accomplishment. "
It Is Interesting , too , to remember In this
connection that Julia Marlowe began her ca
reer as Sir Joseph Potter In "Pinafore , " with
a Juvenllo opera company , billed aa Fanny
Brough , though her real name was Fanny
Frost , Then ehe attempted Parthenla , Ju
liet and Imogen , meeting with success. One
of her best parta was that of Chatterton ,
Ihe sad young poet , who perUhed In n garrot.
