The Curtkin -Rung Down Finally and Forever on *'L,a Belle Helene."
Of course,, it's, nobody's fault. Edna
Wallace Hopper Isn't to blame because
the wicked playwright made her wear
costumes that were so inconsiderable.
Lillian Russell isn't to blame because
her part didn't fall for a bathing suit
like Miss Hopper's. Probably it is better
that Miss 'Russeil dind't have to wear
one. Wltert you -read further on what
awful troubles .grew out of one very small
little comic opera queen with one very
very small costume you might imagine
what f rlghtttn" 'tln'rigs wejmight now have
to be tcllnig if the generous figure of
Lillian WußseH had also-Jmrst upon the
troubled scene lAtt fluttering bath robe.
Before^rarratiiig the exact facts in this
behind-the-scenes comic opera in real life
we will relate Oie climax here; The Lil
lian Russell-Edna Wallace Hopper Opera
company abruptly closed , its career in
Washington. The curtain was sorrowful
ly rung down on "La Belle Helen*'" final
ly and forever. The remaining six weeks'
itinerary of Edna Wallace Hopper and
her bathing suit were cancelled by Miss
Russell. So up went the manager's notice
on the bulletin board, and King Agamem
non and King Menelaus and the Oracle
and the choi'us and the trunks arc com
ing home, sa*s- the New York Journal.
Lillian Russell has resigned her part
as La Belle Hetene in the comic opera
of that name. It was largely a case of
dignity against nudity, and the latter
quality won a victory.
Miss Russell represented dignity and
Mrs. Edna Wallace Hopper nudity. Mrs.
Hopper would also have us believe that
it is a case -in which frivolous public
preferred youth to maturity, but that is
too delicate a subject for the pen of a
critic.
There had long been an ' unacknowl
edged riva|ry between the two stars of
comic opera. It culminated in Philadel
phia last Monday night after a turbulent
and indecorous ovation to Edna Wallace
Hopper from the University of Pennsyl
vania students. That was too much for
Lillian Russell. She decided to resign at
the end of the wec-Tc.
The proportions of Edna Wallace Hop
per to Lilliaii Russell are somewhat like
those ot a wasp to a fine bumble bee.
In other respects their relations have not
been dissimilar. We all know that the
wasp usually gets the best of the bee be
cause the former has an unlimited ca
pacity for stifiging.
The audience that caused the trouble
was made up principally of students
from the University of Pennsylvania,
noted for its spotting proclivities. They
had heard of the interesting- costumes
■worn by Mrs- Hopper and went to the
theater prejudiced in her favor, full of
enthusiasm andi perhaps, something
stronger.
When Lillian Russell appeared they
showed impatience and impoliteness.
"How aid you win that foot race with
Venus?" asked one of them who had a
very hazy recollection of the contest um
pired by Paris.
"Get a move en. Show us your speed,"
cried eeveral.
Miss Russell naturally left the stage in
a state of just indignation. It was to b«
heightened very much in the course of a
few minutes.
As aoon as Edna Wallace Hopper ap
peared she was greeted with a storm of
cheers, howls and more or less encour
aging remarks, intermingled with the col
lege yell. All the classical learning at
the command of the students, together
with a great -Hiany topical and personal
allusions was showered upon her.
When she first came on her costume
seemed as slight as the conventions of the
stage permit. But further revelations
were in store.
"What's the matter with Edna?" cried
a voice.
"She's all right," answered the chorus
punctuated by the college yell.
"What do you think of her dress?"
"It's all right," answered the chorus
again with the college yell.
It required several pointed and forcible
remarks fronxtEdna before she could go
on with her performance.
"You deserve to' be spanked," was her
concluding observation.
Having agreed that she was all right
and fully vented their feelings, the stu
dents allowed; hef to act in peace, but
applauded vociferously at every suitable
point.
One studious, and chivalrous young man
take up the case of the beautiful Lillian.
He described Helen' s. dress from a man
uscript which fie held in his hand. While
he read others told the details of Lillian.
Russell's costume and make-up.
reader yelled: "Her eyes were length

BUSINESS FACTS !
When you see a house advertising regularly every day, "Great assortment of colors and
styles, the regular $12.50 kind for $8.00," do you believe it ? Do you think that right now
at the start of the season anybody is selling you goods for $8.00 that are worth $12.50?
If you do you must think merchants are philanthropists. We admit that we and others have
"special sales," at which goods are sold below values — but we don't have them every day.
We believe that honest advertising pays, and we have never yet, in 26 years, ever advertised
a thing in the papers that we did not do' in our store- We have, we think, the best stock we
ever have shown, and we know, furthermore, that no such stock has ever been shown in
St. Paul. We have elegant Jackets at $8.09, and they are cheap and well worth $8 00
but they are NOT the $12.50 kind. See?
. We are fully equipped to sell you a
JACKET, SKIRT, or WAIST or SILK PETTICOAT for a FIV&DOLLAR BILL,
the best that that sum will buy anywhere, but they are not the $8.00 kind. We also want
one and all to understand that we have everything in Suits and Ladies' Wraps at prices as
low as $10.00 and $12.50, as well a3 at all the intermediate prices np to $75.00; that our low
prices are as low as anybody's, and surely our styles and qualities are known to be always
good. We have seen "suits at $20.00, silk-lined," advertised as great bargains, "special for
today," etc. We have plenty at this price and lower every day in ths week, and they are
good and yet pay us a profit. All we want is to have you come into our store. If you have
any prejudices against us, come in and they'll disappear like ice in the sun. Every day we
hear it, "Certainly, we knew you had ths goals of the town, but we didn't think you carried
such pretty things at our prices." Well, we do. We have a stock that any lady clerk or
workingwoman can find what she wants in, and within her income, just as well as high-class
novelties better than any store here carries, and in far more variety. These are plain state
ments of facts. We rely on your verdict; use your eyes; conae and see us. Kindly tell us

Her pale and warm complexion was in
toxicatingly youthful.
"On her forehead her hair in short curls
formed a straight line. Two tresses,
brushed behind her ears, fell forward on
her breast. She wore a diadem of pale
gold and electrum. In the middle of It
radiated the mysterious swatsika, which
is the sacred sign of the Arayan rulers.Oa
both sides of the diadem were long, pend
ant jewels, llxed with chains and termi
nating in triangular plates.
"She wore necklaces of agate, jadite,
porphyry and carnelian. Above that was
another necklace of blue glass, intermin
gled with charms, heads of birds and the
mask of a cow. At the end was a round
plaque chased with seven diamonds. Hep
underskirt was of a fine, red stuff in
small pleats, embroidered in colors. Hep
overskirt was Indian pink, with sleeves
to her elbows." —
"To her elbows," the crowd repeated.
"There were lotus flowers," the reader
. screamed.
"Lotus alba," the pedantic voices shout
ed.
"Yes, white lotus," the reader screech
ed, "alternating with embroidered but
tons"—
He could not continue. The audience
was weary of his description. His voice
was hoarse from trying to be heard above
the tumult Lillian Russell had quitted
the stage in disgust. Presently, to the
accompaniments of sticks beating time
on tfre floors, voices shouted in unison:
"Edna, Edna : Edna!"
She said: "Pray, be quiet. We cannot
1 do anything unless you hush."
They applauded. The asked her if she
was in love with the play or with them.
She replied;, .
"With you. Actors love only the pub
lic." fi!
She was a- Greek figure copied from
a bass-relief of the Parathenon, and yet
she might have played Helen to that au
dience. No other woman could have cap
tivated its adoration as well. It was
amazing.
. Ffjm act to act Edna's costume be
came scantier and scantier. As the eur
[ tain rose in the last act Edna emerged
from the sea with just the smallest bath
ing tights imaginable. The boys looked
at the programme and shouted:
"If there was one more act what would
you wear, Edna?"
"Wait and see," she replied.
Lillian Russell #as on the point of
stepping into her carriage. Her manager
arrived in time.
She returned to the stage, almost un
; wittingly. She played and sang better
than ever. Plaudits came irresistibly, but
I the enchantment of Edna Wallace Hop
per regained its power in an instant. A
courteous old Philadelphian said sorrow
t fully:.
"They have a power superior to steam,
j to electricity and to the genius that uses
I them. They have a power in the lack
I of which poets die in the hospital, or at
I the door of the hospital. They have sweet,
immaculate, triumphant and serene silli
ness."
After the performance Lillian Russell
absolutely made up her mind to leave,
and gave notice to George W. Lederer
that she would do so at the end of the
week.
She was asked by a reporter in Wash
ington if she and Mrs. Hopper had quar
relled, and gazed at her questioner with
an amazed air. She said:
"I like Edna Wallace Hopper extreme
ly. She is a pretty, dainty, little wom
an. I am jealous of her? What an idea?
We are not even rivals.
"I cease playing because I am tired,
because the rest of the trip is to be a
-continuous run from town to town. I
was not offended by what happened In
Philadelphia. Disorder of the galleries
Is to be expected there."
Edna Wallace Hopper said: "Lillian
Russell is exquisite. I have a great deal
of affection for her.
"I trying to dethrone her? We are not
of the same epoch."
She was ordered by Lederer not to talk
of Lillian Russell.
Mrs. Hopper diverted the conversation
to the weather, the races, the achieve
ments of her dog. Her smile was pret
tily enigmatic.
Mrs. Hopper admired in Philadelphia a
child's cradle in iron gilt and silk, yellow
or saffron. And they have ordered for
hare there a large cradle, pink and gold.
It is proper to recall hero that Lillian
Russell long ago abandoned the practice
of wearing tlghta. She was once sued by
her manager because she had refused to
wear them. She replied that nature has
been so generous to her that It was out
of the question for her to appeal to the
public In the manner suggested. More
ovor, she was extremely sensitive to
cold. When It was pointed out that she
might have a woolen lining under the
other' garments she eaid that It was ab
surd. One may truthfully say that it
was on artistic grounds that Miss Rus
sell set her face against tight*.
