She naturally values most those articles of table use or furniture which came from the old Inn where she was born and raised, and which In their associations carry one back over years, o-" --i the mothei country, England.

Among these is the trunk In which Richard Wiggins brought over from England the few articles of personal apparel which he needed to begin his career In this country. That is now stored in the Btan and near-stars, look to your laurels! William A. Brady, the theatrical manager, has let down the bars that heretofore have served to keep your green pastures free from the ambitious but untried aetorB and actresses who have been lopgtng for a chance to get In. He has done more, than that; ha has caused "Welcome" to be hung up over the gate, and during the entire month of August will receive young people with tage ambitions who have found It difficult or Impossible to get a hearing from theatrical managers. The hearingB are at 2 o'clock each afternoon, and there 1b only a rule to check the ruth.

In announcing his plan, the manager eald: "I realize that what we most need at the present time Is young, fresh talent, and Instead of encouraging It to come to us we have built an Insurmountable barrier to keep it away. It does not require any particularly vivid sense of vision to perceive that if we continue to keep up the bars we shall have to go on engaging the same group of actors and actresses the year around, with a mere filtering in of the few who manage to creep under the fence or fly over it. It often has occurred to me that If we are to do away with the difficulty of digging up new talent "we have been going the wrong way about It and Increasing our he had since been ottered another engagement. "'What must I do about it?" "Take it," promptly responded the manager, turning to the next caller. Near the end of the Dour the interviews became very brief Indeed, as there remained many to see, but the wit of one bright young woman caused her time to be extended.

As she appeared in the doorway the manager said: "Nothing for you today." "This way out?" the girl asked, with a little laugh, without attempting to give the history of her life, as many of the others had done. She quickly turned toward the door. She was called back and was asked a lot of questions, and it is safe to say that "likely" was written by ber name. Another actor of experience was practically engaged on the spot, as he looked the part of a character In a play now being cant. Mr.

Brady and several people of known ability were referred to others in the office who were looking for people to flay In approaching productions. It is possible that some of the amateurs will be taken care of In this way, as Mr. Brady's search is not alone In his own behslt. "Between my own productions and those of the Shuberts, there will be room during the Beason for a large number of those who pass muster, and through this actual experience they will be able to show what they are made of a great deal more rapidly than they possibly could through any cut-and-drled course of ln- Saturday, August 24, will be Hepta-soph's Day In Brooklyn. At that time the order will celebrate Its thirty-fifth anniversary at Dexter Park.

Much enthusiasm Is being manifested by the 'twenty-four conclaves and a splendid success is predicted. The day will be given over to athletic events and games. The outing Is under the supervision of the Allied Association of Conclaves, of which W. H. Burgess Is president.

The object of this Heptasoph's Day Is not for great financial success, but more to bring about a brotherly spirit by uniting together In sion, associated with the venerable tavern, for the furnishing of one ot its rooms. She Is Mrs. Albert J. Wilkinson, wife of Captain Wilkinson of Union Hall street, Jamaica, and a lineal descendant of Richard Wigrins, who is said to have built the hotel, or perhaps added to the first structure erected about 200 years ago. Aside from the question of preserving the inn, Mrs.

Wilkinson's recollections of old times In the vicinity of Jamaica and her remembrances aB to traditions handed down by older members of her family form an interesting contribution to local historical lore. The antiques she has received from preceding generations are ot exceptional historical value, and ought in some way to be kept from being lost or destroyed when their present owner has passed over to the majority. Mrs. Wilkinson seemB like a woman ot scarcely more than middle age, yet her own recollections go back to quite an early period in the history of Jamaica, and it was her great grandmother who was the wife of the original owner of the old hotel.

Professor Eolfe Is Enthusiastic Over the Idea.

Professor Henry Winchester Rolfe, th" well-known Greek scholar, who has been studying in England fur some time, has kept in touch with several of the Americans who are working for the plan, and he is enthusiastic over its possibilities. He said.

The arrangement committee for this Warming Stool Is One of the Quaintest of Curios. Besides the articles mentioned, Mrs.

Wilkinson prizes a little rushbottomed chair used by her grandmother when a child, the family Bible, a mirror which Is quite an antique, a sideboard with fine Inlaid work, the old pot thnt hung In the trammels In the hotel chimney and various chairs and tables, pictures and articles of curious workmanship which have their associations with the inn and the early days In Hollis.

Two remained here and one returned to England and left a fortune at his death, which the family in this country endeavored to obtain, but without success.

The brother who built or remodelled the Hollls Hotel was Klchard Wiggins, and bis wife, Mrs. Wilkinson's great grandmother, was named Ann. Whether Richard built all of the hotel or added to a smaller building already on the site seems to be a matter of dispute. It Is certain, at any rate, that he built the portion containing tne kitchen and ballroom. The year 1710 has been said to be that of the original construction of the hotel.

Mrs. Wilkinson inclines to the belief that it was In the year 1717 that the structure was erected. In any event, it Ib now about 200 years old, which is quite an age for anything of the sort In America. The Wiggins brothers -were prominent among the early Jamaica settlors.

She was an amateur, she said, but her poise would enhance the work of a number ot familiar stars. The next person was a young man, with some professional experience outside of New York. He "looked good" to the manager, and "likely" went down along side of his name. It began to look as though a rich vein of dramatic ore had been unearthed. It did not pan out, however, for the next entrants were very "raw." One had eome from a town in New Jersey, another from the Pacific coast, several had the appearance of 6hop girls with an afternoon off, and murmured their story of ambition almost inaudlbly.

It did not take long to see the Impossibility of this kind ot material, and it was a case of walking in, turning around and walking out again. The questions they wure asked were something like this: "What have you done? "What makes you think you can act? 'What part did you play? do you live?" There were different questions for veryone, of course, but the answers were not varied much. Several with no experience were sure they would "do" if given a chance, and some even had parts in Mr. Brady's plays picked out for themselves. As these people depnrted, Mr.
