To-day she returns to us an ac- complished and remarkable musi- cian. With ease and grace she en- tertains immense audiences with se- lections from all the French and German operas. Though the man- dolin has been thought of perhaps insignificantly, Miss Fiske, by her musical skill, has given the instru- ment a place with the Violin. Her old College friends are most happy to welcome her back to this Mi EDNA FISKE. country and the city is proud to claim her. There was a full house last night to applaud the universal favorite, Alice Bennett. Although for some time past her voice has been recog- nized as one of unusual sweetness and power, this is the first time Miss Bennett has attempted grand opera. The musical critics prophesy great success in this new field. Among the many enthusiastic lis- teners were a number of Womans College students, with whom the distinguished singer was so popular while among them. Well do they remember the sweet songs she used to sing with such charm and ease of manner at the Glee Club concerts and other College affairs. It is of interest to note that she also took much pleasure in athletics and was a tennis player of no little skill. She played in several tournaments ALICE Pl BENNETT. while at College and won the admi- ration and friendship of all her as- sociates. GOSSIP FROM THE STAGE. Miss Emily Hoskins is in town once more and is sending her crowd- ed audience each night into convul- sions of laughter by her presenta- tion of comedy roles. Ever since her first appearance in Sophomore dramatics at The Womanys College of Baltimore her popularity in that city has been unbounded. She is so l fortunate as to have in her company 110 less celebrated an actress than Grace Moses; of ttLondon Assur- ance and iiRomeo and Juliet fame. Miss Moses is not only a tal- ented actress; she is also a writer of great wit and originality, and won 26 no small share of fame by her bur- lesques on Shakespeareis plays. She is a rollicking good companion, al- ways ready for a joke at her own or her friends expense, and will go EMILY L. HOSKINS. to any trouble to create a laugh.

It is rumored that Fanny is soon to appear with Henry Irving in Shakespearean roles. She has arranged a tour in this country and has planned to be present at Junior dramatics next year at The Womants College of Baltimore, where she first discovered her dra- matic talent. Dramatics. Chicago, 1902.eNever since the days of Euripides, Aristophanes, .Plautus and Shakespeare has such a phenomenal personage come be- fore the dramatic eye as Sarah Elizabeth Rupp, a former student of The Womants College. Though her chums marveled at her familiarity with the dead lau- guages and admired her dramatic ability, no one ever suspected that she was soon to startle the world with the presentation of one of her own plays in Greco-Latin. Taking the part of four heroines and four- teen heroes at the same time, she now assumes the character of a de spairing lover, now a scheming vil- lain, and now a iluttering, bashful maid. Her audiences are immense; she is the wonder of the modern Her Latin-Greek composition her stage. is perfect, impersonations EDITH R. DEAN . i studies she was attended by marked success.
