thl* Institution by an American. Attracted by the young virtuoso'* ciaaetc
feature*. Wngcmnns Immediately sought the opportunity to paint bis portrait.
Macmlllen at the time was preparing to leave Brussels for London, where hla
debut as a virtuoso was to take place. Wagemans had Just fifty six hours In
which to start and complete hla task. 80 successful waa be that not only waa
the work completed within the scheduled time, but the directors of the Bel
dan National Art gallery were so taken with Its merits that they Immediately
began negotiations for Its purchase. In which attempt they later succeeded,
paying Wageinana 1*.000 francs for the work. It now occupies a conspicuous
placa among the great paintings In the galleries.

FAMOUS MUSICAL HIT OF THREE '
CONTINENTS TO GET FIRST
PERFORMANCE HERE.
la Clean, Wholesome and Quiet Musi
cal Show, and of Unusual
Excellence.
“TSe Quaker Girl," the famous mu- ,
xlcal tit of three continent*, which 1
will he presented at the Court The- i
atre Thanksgiving afternoon and eve
“Idk, has a rather peculiar history.
It was originally produced In lxmdon '
about four years ago, at George Kd- t
ward*'* Royal Adelphl theatre, and
Immediately scored a tremendous hit,
remain.ng at that playhouse for twj
entire years. The title role was taken
by Miss Gertie Miller, who in prt- j
vate life is the wife of the composer, '
Lionel Monckton. while Joseph Corn* I
plays the leading male role of Tony j
Chute. Of course, when the new'.) I
of this success reached New York, all
the American managers who make a 1
practice of bringing Knglish suc
cesses to this country, sent their em- :
butanes to see “The Quaker Girl." )
and report on Its chances as an Amer- I
lean show. One and all these dra
mat'c scouts reported that the piece, i
while dainty slid entertaining and 1
too quiet for American audiences, ac- j
exceedingly tuneful, was far and away I
customed as they were to ragtime
audiences, chorus girls in tights and
general burlesque entertainment So. j
In spite of the London success of th's
Play, the American rights were not
sought until the late Henry H Har
ris, who had never produced a musi
cal s.iow. took a chance and bought
the rights. The result was amazing.
The company which Is coming to ihe
Court played one solid year In New
York, ten weeks in Chicago twelve
In Boston, and eight In Philadelphia,
and is now packing theatres In the I
larger cities. The estimated profits
from the American rights for this pro- ,
duetlon are over $200,000. so that it
can be seen that American audiences '
once in a while do apprc< late a cleau
and wholesome, if quiet, musical coin 1
edy.
