Maboabet Fieldiko -was very sweet last week as Esther, In "Xha llo-.iic Next Door.'" 3t-e Is as clever a little ingenue as there Is on tbe stock stage. She has only been on the l>oards foi* a very short while, but In that time she has kept her eyes and ears open and has been stndylng tbe tecbnlqne of acting. In a very short while she will be able to appear on 'Broadway. Masoubbite Sbabb and Hobert I^e Sel'ER are maklDg a <]eclded bit at tbe Newell, White Plains, playing tabloid dramatic sketches.

Marguerite Starr is as clever a lead- >4ag woman as one would care to see. s viCTOa Ubown-e bas been offered a few etock engagements In and nround the city and is at a loss as to which one he will select. He is mu(o wanted, and his long record in Brooklyn has made him a big favorite. He is only a young man, and his future is very bright. Frances McGrath bad better tell her mother that we want to hear from her. Mother McGrnt:i deserves all of Miss McGrath's notices, for she Is the btggesl help that a daughter could possibly have.
