avenue She made the usual statement that she had no hobbies Miss Adams was born November 1S73 nt Salt Lake city although San Francisco claims her as she began to play there She bears the stage name of her mother Mrs Annie Adams Her first appearance on the stage came about in a rather odd way said Mrs Adams I was at that time leading women of the stock company at the Salt Lake city theatre We were playing piece called The Lost Child My daughter was at that time nine months old As luck would have it shs Vas unusually obstreperous that evening and the nurse bad brought her to the theatre to see if I could quiet her As It happened tho child who appeared ap-peared in the play was missing and the stage manager was frantic In the midst of his despair the nurse brought in Maude The stage manager made no explanations but simply grabbed the child from the nurse and put her on n tray and she thus roads her first appearance the stage Wo all expected her to cry but she laughed at the lights and crowec at the people in the most approved fashion Her fathers name was Kiskadden and he boasted of his connection con-nection with thoEwings and tho Shermans J of Ohio My side of the family comes from the old John Quincy Adams stock though S of course laughed tho mother we have J degenerated terribly by going on the stage My daughter never went to a dramatic school acd has never married thank

sweet young New England school girL She then joined Charles Frohmans forces and made a success In the icgnue role with the stock company in Men Bad Women Last season she played with her usual success L > c the pathetic part of Noll the crippled working 1l1 in The Lost Paradise Hike comedy better than sentimental parts said Miss Adams speaking of her preferences I think that comedy demands de-mands more artistic treatment and If anyone any-one is inclined to find me at all heavy as Suzanne In The Masked Ball it Is because be-cause I have been kept in emotional roles I for two years Ive often said that I should become habitually tearful and I nm truly glad to get out of the snivelling onco > more In emotional characters the lines do much to carry out tho effect but comedy requires pure independent acting act-ing The studies of this young leading woman I go on with as great regularity as if she were yet at school Her days are divided and the various hours all allotted to work She is enthusiastic about tho harp and expects to bequite a proficient performer by the time The Masked Boll closes its Non York engagement Among the new Tarara verses which Lottie Collins now sings at the
