Rusaell la rood" to Im Angelca. Liist year Lios Angeles mada good to him, when he, with his little barnstorming opera, was excellently supported by musto lovers who flocked to the' Mason Operahouse. This first company, which could scarcely ba called a company at all, was merely ft feeler throughout tlw western part of tha United btatas. Mr. RuRsell wanted to And out tha land, and ho found that Los Angeles acclaimed a good thing.

He promised that not less than two weeks should be given here when hU big company was organised. Now he la about to keep his promise, and during the season, at the Angelus Palm he will play his whole repertoire. Chicago only received a week's visitation, though the people clamored for more, and tha same thing happened in St. Louis, i Mr. Russell, still a-young man.

Is a unique figure among the world's Impresarios. His aggressiveness and musical Initiative have won htm many enemies among the conservatives, but he has progressed, notwithstanding. When he organized his company this year, he called it the "San Carlo Company." Tha real San Carlo Company, in Italy, made a big noise. Mr. Russell didn't mind, however; he liked the name', and used it.

The winter seems to have proven that Russell's aggregation has given far more credit to tha title than it ever possessed in Europe. Mr. Russell is the son of a famous father, musical to tha English Royal Family. His mother, It is said, was a beautiful Italian woman of Jewish extraction. The blood of three peoples therefore commingles in the veins of this little dark-skinned man.

That explains, in part, his wonderful cosmopolitanism. In stature very short, in physique very slight, the director is an embodiment of Twentieth-century nervous energy. His versatility is tremendous, but his apparent success as an operatic manager seems based on his own genius as a vocal master. He has been obliged to accept no thieving agent's word for the capabilities of his people; if they had faults and youth he could correct the faults; witness Alice Nielsen. He has a numbttr of interesting people with him, but no matter -who accompanies him, the unique and forceful personality of Mr.

Russell himself will always be the strong controlling factor. A NQELUS PALM QARDEN UTH AND MAIN STREETS.

Miss Lillian Adams will be at the piano. The details of Miss Del VaUe's programme will tie announced in a later issue. Dramagrapha, Ben Greet is planning a revival ot Charles Reade's "Masks and Faces," in which ho has appeared as Triplet more than a thousand times. Another Yiddish actress, Mme. Lo-bel, who Is a favorite with her own people.

Is planning to follow In the footsteps of Bertha Kallcb, and will appear shortly in English plays. Maude Adams will appear for the first time In London next July. In a play which BarrlS Is writing for her. Rehearsals will take place in America, and tha company will be American. George Alexander has received the new play which has Ibeen written for him by Alfred Sutro, and is reported to believe that It contains the best work this dramatist hat achieved thus far.

Ida Conquest, It Is reported, has deserted the stage for the studio. She has opened a suite near Gramercy Paris, New York, and will devote her time to portraiture. She is skilled In oils, and Is Just finishing a portrait of Marie Dora Marshall P. Wilder has given np vaudeville for tile present, at least, and has taken to the platform. He has prepared a lecture called "Smiles and a Laugh or' Two," and soon will start on a tour of the smaller cities.

The talk will be a story of his travels In Japan, and several moving pictures will be used that were taken especially for Mr. Wilder. Lole Fuller, whose birthplace was Chicago, has remained abroad with her spectacular 'dances for ten years, making occasional short visits to her native land. She has been held a special favorite In' France, but now is considering an appearance in this country in a special production, with a salary Inducement which is said to be $2000 a week. There are those Who remember the time when $100 a week would have seemed a fortune to her.

H. 6othern has acquired the American rights to Catulle drama, "La Vierge d'Avlla," in which Bernhardt Is now appearing at her Paris theater. Tha play is founded on the story of St. Theresa, It was first produced in Paris oa November 10, and it looks as if its run would be indefinite. Tha role of St.

Theresa is one that would suit Julia Marlowe admirably, it is believed, and the play will soon be sdded to the Sothern-Marlowe repertoire. Ermete tha famous Italian actor, is about to make, his fourth visit to America, coming under the banner of tha Shuberts this time. He will appear for the first time in Boston, on March 4- His repertoire will include: "Louis XI," 'Papa Labon-nard." "The Merchant of Venice," "King Lear," "Hamlet," "Othello," "Kean," "Monte Civile." and "Poverta Gente," a play by the young Italian, Llberatl. His leading woman will ba Olga Jlninnl. Apropos of Bernard Shaw's latest play, "How Ha Lied to Her Hushand." a satire on "Candida, which Arnold Daly will play at the Majestio this week, Shaw wrote while serving as a play reviewer in London: regret to say that the patrons of the gallery of the Princess, being admitted at half the usual west-end prices, devote the savings to the purchase of sausages to throw at the critics.

I appeal to the lady or gentleman who successfully aimed one at me to throw a cabbage next time, as I am a vegetarian, and sausages are wasted on Harrison Grey FIslte has signed a contract with Percy Mackaye for a new play, which is Intended for the usa of Bertha Kalich.

"At that time Rosenthal's business ability kept pace with his artistic prowess, for he was an open foe to Vienna's exorbitant cabmen. His firmness in dealing with them was delightful, and many and picturesque were the remarks the cab fraternity would hurl at the pianist's head.
