Show A Bright New York Ctrl. Miss Fanny Locke, whose father expects ex-pects to be the bishop of the diocese of Chicago one of these days, has written a couple of comediettas, put them on the stage, costumed and rehearsed the characters, char-acters, played the leading parts herself and acted as stage manager besides. - On several occasions this most versatile young woman has played in Mrs. George M. Pullman's theatre, the box receipts going to St. Luke's hospital. The venerable vener-able rector of Grace church, who is very apprehensive lest his beautiful daughter becomes too fond of tho stage, is most discouraging as a critio of her work. Miss Locke is young and radiant, very English in speech, dress and tastes, a former pupil of Mrs. Teufel, nee Blanche Willis Howe, and a great lover of dogs. Her constant companion is a huge, amber am-ber colored brute that follows her to church on Sundays, snoozes in the vestry through his master's sermon and never blinks till the benediction is pronounced, Exchange. |
