Whitman -of W\inniet- ka, wvas directly responisible for ini- teresting patrons of this section, Ini the intriguing "dance comipositions of 'Miss Enters, and durîng the past three years Miss Eniters lias had enornious success with Chicago au- diences. Last fall she gave a "'one-1 man show" at the Punch & Judy tlîeater for a week.

Arthîur RuhI of the, New YVork Herald 'Tribune says of bher. -She can be, in the brief spacei during whicb each turn lasts, tender! or terrible. savage or sentimiental:' she is, ini effect, dancer, painter. ac-i tress and satirical essayist. There isi more brilliant acting, in the sense ofi atmospbere created and character put invsa ens noeo e ecitaIs than in most haîf dozen Broad- w.ay, plays put together. The ex-' planation lies, 1 suppose, in tbe vervi fact that slîe is so eclectic and so in- ý dividual, so bard to run into any of 1 the routine grooves, and is botb more! and less than an actress" and. a "dancer." We miss the voice and tbe "lnes" of -the one;, the straiglît sens- uous appeal of -the other. And yeti we are so captivated Iwith ail sorts of flashes of sometbingvery close to genius that we want to, see something, done about it. Maybe no producer, witb aIl the good w ilI in 'the world,. could make, anytbing of Miss Enters which .this curiousîy gifted young womian Won't make of herseif. May- be she wvas destined to walk hy ber wild lone, and we should be content to enjoy ber and let it go at that." Mrs. C. M.
