"Who is tho handsome man with thi dissipated face?" asked a girl in pink chiffon. "That," said Miss Irwin, gravely, "was a few years ago ono of the best men In his line In this country. No. I won't tell any ono his name. He may get on his feet again." Sarah Bernhardt has produced at her Paris theater a romantic costume play of the Louis XIV. period. Tho mio of tho piece Is "Esther." nnd it Is Interesting to mention that It was llrst played in the year ltSf by the lady students of St. Cyr.

When Maurice Barrymore and Steele Mackayc. actor, playwright, manager, got together there was Invariably a clash of raplcrllke wit that relegated the other men at the tables to voluntary silence.
