HE recurrence Jn print of the
namo of Mary Anderson is
duo. welt- nigh wholly to her
participation with Robert
Hlchens In the making Into
play form of his romance of
Tim Oar-den of Allah." fJo other, cele
brated . actress "of what, may bo termed
"our-tlrho" has been sd successful as"she
In inaklns her retirement from tho world
of tho theater a retlroment do factor as
well aa de Jure. Perhaps' the explanation
of Her success In- this respect resides in
the fact that she meant to retire when
she did retire. Certainly her failure to re
cmefgo has not been due to lack' of op
portunity, for every manager of note In
this country the last twenty-two years,
beginning with the late Henry E. Abbey,
ha made efforts to get "our Mary" back
to tho stage, If only for a slnglii
American tour.
It was in April, 188), in the oventng pre
ceding a scheduled beginning of a week's
return engagement In Philadelphia, that
Mary Anderson collapsed. She has nover
slnco acted In either public-or in "that
capacity called "private" because an
extra charge is made for the seats. That
final tour of hers in 16S8-IS89 was the
record in receipts for any foreign star
who hod ever acted m the United States,
for, despite her American nativity, Mary
Anderson had. become indeed a foreign
star, through having taken up her per
sonal and professional residence in Lon
don. When her engagement to Antonio
Navarro was formally anounced, she
said that she would never act again.
Managers smiled actors smiled, the news
papers smiled, tho public smiled. It
seemed the only thing to say In the cir
cumstances. But sho kept her word
against monetary allurements that are
dazzling even when contemplated In this
day of salaries and percentages never
dreamed of in the time when she was re
garded as the foremost American actress,
"When Mary Anderson retired Julia Mar
lowe was Just winning sort iof tenta
tive attention, thanks largely to tho fact
that the lato Robert a. Ingersoll was her
devoted press agent; Helena Modjeska
had Joined forces with Edwin Booth un
der Lawrence Barrett's nianagement in
order that Booth might act vis-avis with
a Lady Macbeth and Beatrice of intellect
tual and artistic caliber; l"anny Jonaus-
chek was experiencing the first pangs- of
realization that tho public was losing In
threat in her: Barrett, himself, was
buoyant with hope after two years of
great momentary success, the first he
had ever known.us co-star with uootn.
and was preparing to stage the late Wil
liam "Young's blank verse play , of
"Canelon." (Young, by the way, was the
man who made tho Play ot "uen nur
from the Wallace novel an undertaking
regarded as quite as extensive In 1889 as
the.itaglng of 'The Garden of Allah-'
proved to bo In 1311.)
They were the We figures of our stage
in liS3 Mary Anderson, Edwin uootn,
Helena Modjeska, Fanny Janauschek and
Lawrence Barrett. E. H. Sothern was
acting farcical parts in "The Highest
Bidder" and "Lord Chumley." nobert
Mantell was playing the telepathic twins
in "The Corslcan Brothers." Richard
Mansfield was acting In a cheap melo
drama. "Master and Man." while plan'
nlng to retrieve his fortunes, with "Beau
Brummel," William Faversham had not
been heard of. nor Had Margaret AngHn,
nor Maxlna Elliott
Of all the American managers who have
tried to Bet Mary Anderson to act again,
George C. Tyler, tho head of the Uebler
cwnpanyr has been the most persistent
and the most nearly successful. If he
dldnt get her to resume acting ho at
least induced h?V to take charge of the
acting In the original rehearsals of "Th
Garden of Allah" a year ago and in
those rehearsals' by the way. she had the
experience of "bossing" at least two ac

"Freckles,"' a dramatization of Oene
Stratton-Portcr's novel of thp same title,
Is announced us the attraction at tho
Brandcls commencing with matinee to
day; This stage version is the work of
Nell Twomcy, who hus transferred tho
spirit. of the wlldwood, visualized the de
lightful characters -ol tho tory ,and
woven the Incidents Intp a logical and
entertaining play, Naturaily, tho pathetic
element has been tmphaslzed .most
stongly, but In relief of this there are!
frequent brilliant flashes of wit nnd a
charming love Interest for the two nov
famous characters, Freckles and the
Angel. Tho play Is Illusively mounted;
particularly 'effective Is the great L!m
berlost sceno painted . by Crosble QUI of
Wallack's Broadway theater, New York.
who has pictured the. famous swamp And
its environs with consummate skill. Jules
Velle will be seen hero as the plucky
llttlo waif, Freckles, and Carrie Bell
mora as tho Angel. An exceptionally
strong supporting company of players is
promised.
"As Ye' Sow" comes to the Brandels
for an engugemcnt of one day only, two
performances, matlnco and night, Satur
day, January 7. This drama is of a
moral and uplifting nature and Is being
presented by a 'capable company headed
by Ida Weston Rao. Popular prices will
prevail.
"Peg o' My Heart," which comes to the
Brandels for four days beginning Feb
ruary S, is Indeed a comedy of charm.
Tho story deals with Teg, the daughter of
an improvident but Jovablp Irishman and
an arlstlcratlo Englishwoman on whom
her relatives turned their backs when
she set .out for America with the hus
band of her choice. By tho will of one
of Peg's uncles, who repented on his
deathbed his unklndness toward his sis
ter, the llttlo Irish-American maiden s
brought to England to be properly
reared at the expense of his estates. Peg
Is received into the. family of an aunt,
hot from love, but for tho sakn of the
money that her caro and Instruction
brings. Her treatment Is hardly that of
a favored relative, but she finds little
to make her life pleasant excopt tho
friendship of one Jerry, a friend of the
family, her experience setting forth
vividly the contrast between her rather
uncouth manners, and the stilted and un
conventional wnJs of this English house
hold.
Harry Lauder comes to the Brandels
for two porfomancers only, matinee and
night, February 12, with his company of
lbternatlpnal stars engaged In his first
''round-the-world tour, During this, his
rixth American tour, Mr. Lauder is ren
define a complete new song repertoire.
William A. Brady offers "Bought and
At, the ORPHSCM
Tatd For" at tho Brandels February
and U for three performances.
Somebody has; snjS that "Tho Oar-den
of Allah" which . comes to the Brandels
for the -week bcglnnlpg February, 15 Is
the desert -dramatized. It Is more than
that, however, for It tells tho story of tho
renegade mpnk In search, of that elusive
somotlnsjhatw.e call peace and happi
ness. Every 'human being la searching
for that, That u monk, for many yours
ehut up In a monastery, should decide to
leave. Ills' peaceful surroundings and look
for contentment elsowhore Is the ground
work of the story. That ho should also
discover that desplto h happy marriage,
pcaco .and contentment nro only of the
soul and not of tho world Is not so
strange--that Is a 'cathbllo doctrine and
one which & great many people subscribe
to. There is a wealth pt beauty in the
soltlngs, for they are tpood-crcatlng as
well as Impressive to the eye. The very
first panorama and the succeeding
scenes, each In its own way, suggest the
locale, whl( the Arabs and Moors In
their ptcturesquo costumes, wandering to
and fro, speaking their unintelligible
tongues nnd suggesting the customs of
their African home, give vividness to tho
action.
The great Drury Oano spectacle. "The
Whip.". Is cpmlng to the Brandels In the
near future. "Tho Whip" Is the biggest
melodramatic succesB In tho history of
the show business" and carries the largest
production. There are over 200 people in
the cast and working crew, who put on
and appear In thirteen massive, scenes.
Tho headline feature upon, the Orpheurn
bill this week, Is a musical skit which
promises much in tho way of diversion
and . laughter- Harry Fox and Yansrl
Dolly, who present the sketch, aro in
themselves sufficient proof of Its de
lightful quality, Austin Webb comeB In
the one-act play of tense dramatio in
terest, "Your Hag, and Mine " His of
fering is the work of Wlllard Mack, and
Is sad to be the most gripping In melo
dramatic situation that he has written.
Kxponcnts of harmony and. fun are the
Chung Hwa comedy four, a quartet,
of Chlneso who sing In their native
tongue, and in English as well. Their
fun making has tho reputation of being
unique- Tho comedy sons writers, Harry
Armstrong and Billy Clark, are sched
uled for a song act Intermixed with
comedy. A combination of grace, beauty
and strength will bo displayed In the
work of the gymnastic girls known as
the Four Athletes. With the reputation
of being continental champions of double
Juggling, the Blank family have an act
that promises to bo at once astonishing
and amusing. The star of their offer
ing is a little blond girl, the only
feminine member of the family. Comedy
pantomime Is to be contributed by the
La Toy brothers. One of the brothers Is
a tumbler, while the other Is described

tlmo first part called ".Mulligan's M aril I
(iras." It Is as funny as tho. tltlo would

ready to see himself laughlnu at tho
outset. The wind-up Is a satire on city
life called "Brrck to Nature." ofcorjfe I
