not spoiled by ao-called “up-to-datlam"
which so- often mar many a good

Noted London Actress in
“Fanny'* . First Play”
**My dearest memories of the stage
are associated with the fine actor In
whose company I remained for 17
years, the late J. E. Toole," says Miss
Kate Carlyon, who will so delightfully
portray the part of Mrs. Gllbey in
George Bernard Shaw's widely dis
cussed comedy, "Fanny's First Play,"
In the Garrick theater next week.
"Mr. Toole 'was London’s favorite
comedian for many seasons. I acted
Wkh him on the occasion of his last
performance, the play being ‘The
Cricket on the Hearth.’ Henry D> v '
lng waa Toole's most Intimate friend.
They began their careers about the
same time, and each saw the other
rise to fame and fortune.
*Tt was during my engagement with
Toole that he was responsible for
launching the careers of two of the
most popular dngnatlsts. now before
the public—Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
and flir James M. Barrie. Pinero w-as
an actor In Irving’s company—an ex
tremely bad one, too, I remember.
He was thinking chiefly of playwrit

young man had written a short piece

Eleanor Gates, author of “The Poor
Little Rich Girl,” which comes to the
Detroit opera house next week, is a
Californian, whose literary contribu
tions have appeared In Scribner's,
The Century, and Saturday Evening
Post. “The Poor Little Rich Girl"
was first offered to the public as a
novel and later dramatized by Its au
thor. Miss Gates is an enthusiastic
horsewoman, and on her ranch near
Los Angeles, maintains a large riding
stable.
"Fanny’s First Play” which will be
the attraction in the Garrick theater
all next week, has the satiric flavor
of all of George Bernard Shaw’s
plays. The comedy Is sald to be most
invigorating In this era of hodge
podge musical shows and dramas in
which one sits and yearns for a line
of true cleverness. Being true satire,
the target of "Fanny’s First Play”
is all humanity and consequently Its
appeal is universal. To the playgoer

behind the body to which it belongs.
Then the spell will be broken.”
Jack promised to do all that, and
they started on their journoy again.
“Do you see anything?" asked the
foal who was carrying Jack.
"No,” answered Jack.
So they traveled a while.
"Do you geo anything?" again ask
ed the foal.
“No," said the boy.
They traveled a long way In sllenos
again.
"Don’t you sap anything?” the foal
at last asked again.
"Yes. now 9 see something which
looks like s blue stripe on the
ground."
"It is a great river," said the foal.
“We are going to cross it!”
As they crossed, Jack saw somo-

When the foal and Jack, with the
other six foals close behind them, got
up close to the trunk they could see
a door behind it. It opened very
■lowly as they approached. They
could sqe, just inside, a small room,
in which there were a few pieces of
furniture.
There was a fireplace, a couple of
benches, a great rusty sword and a
little pitcher.
"Can you brandish the sword?” ask
ed the foals as soon ss they were all
inside.
“No,” said Jack. *Tt Is much too
Hetty for me.”
’’Oh, try,” said the foals.
So Jack tried and tried and tried.
At last he could brandish It!
“Now,” said the foals, “you must
take this sword and cut off our heads
with it. Do this on your wedding day.
We are brothers of the Princess
whom you wish to marry. We are not
foals at all. We are Princes! But,

“That Is the steeple of a church,”
ho answered.

Then he gave them wine and a

Jack took some of the wine and one
