The Maddern Twitter.--a Reporter

of read the "Maddern Twitter" paragraph in The Play of last week, and he strolltd into the office of the Tabor opera house, where he met the distinguished Ingenue's business manager, Mr. Fred Miller, who ia the originator of this very popular trifle. "Mr. Milier, wil) yon kindly enlighten an inquii-ite Bohemian more fully upon your ïatest 'Miss Maddern Twitter?' " "Why.certainly, my boy. Asnearas I can describe st, it is simply a nervous peculiarity or shrinking commotion which Miss Minnie does in Caprice imniediately after the rise of the curtain on the third act. The scène presents a picture of the plain, simple, everyday home of a newly married couple, from which you can imagine for yourself of the many pretty things told us in the Hymeneal Encyclopedia. She is seated on a sofi, when smldenly she expresses an unexpected Hiought of unadulterated innocence and Simon pure happiness, by giving vent to au eccentric twitt of her form, and like a flash about two-thirds of the great Ingenue disappears, or shrinks into a knot, so to speak. Why, my dear fellow, she does it with a grace and smoothness that would make the gilded lady on Bartholdi's statue drop her torch and slide right off the pedebtal. I have had applications by the dozen for a photo of Miss Maddern, and every solitary one has an amendment: 'I would like one in the third act, please, where she does the twitt.' Rather embarrasing, my boy, to have to refuse all the ladies and misses, but the fact is there is no one inanipulating the camera obscura who is swift enough to catch the little Maddern twitter." Miss Maddern has received a letter from a world-renowned prima doma, who in writing of Miss Maddern's singing "In the Gloaming," ia the third act of Caprice, says: -'The hush that feil upon the audience at the close of your song was more eloquent than the cheers with which I am greeted. You cannot sing, and yet I could almost envy you your voice."
