BROUGHT DOWN FROM _ THEIR HIGH SPHERE, A Mecent Experiment in New York, When Eminent Players Took Supers’ Work -—Thelr Distinguished Failure in the Inferior Role. ‘ (Copyright 1888.) Aworse lot of superstian those who drifted on and off the stage ata notable testimonial benefit at the Metropolitan Opera House in “Hamlet” have never been cursed at and raved at by an cnthusiastic stage manager, And I was oneofthem. ‘There was a rehearsal in the afternoon when thestage for a brief while became the heaven in which these atar supers were dotted. Such o gathering! Sucha Babel! ‘Why, howare you? Such a times:nce we met. I've been so anxious to go and see you.’’ Then quickly to someone on the other side: ‘For the Lord’s sake tell me whol’m talking to; he’s evidently my most particular friend, but [ cannot for the life of me name him.” ‘‘I was so sorry to read you had been so.ill. How did you catch it and what was it? Twins? Of all things in the world, how perfectly awful!’ What improvident people weare.” From the other side. ‘‘But, my dear, she never couldact. I remember when I was playing Ophelia. By the way, I’m awfully giad they didn’t ask me to play it for this performance. Tho theatro is go enormous,” ‘“There’s Mme, Ponisi; why on carth isn’t sho playing tho. Queen?” “Are you playing anywhero, Madame Do' ambulance-and—Woodlawngaze shines in the eyes of the bystandors asthe speaker continucs: ‘I always ad‘mired yousomuch. You are one of my. favorites. I never lose sightofyou,” Hero Mr. Goatcher, thecclebrated sconicartict, comes up, glares at two ladies who are seated, and yells straight in their faces; “Can't anyone find a chair for Madame Dolaro?’’ To me; ‘What ashame, and youso ill, The idea of your not having achiir.”” The ladies remain imperturbabl:; disregard Mr. Goatcher’s gentle innuenco. He then proceeds to rem'nd me how he painted the scenes for my first production at my own theatre in London. ‘'Court ladies on the stage,” calls the stage manager. Wo troop down and support Mr, Booth, look at him with an expression betokening, ‘You ought to be very much flattered, you are indeed a privileged person to be allowed to head such a galaxy of talent.” Theneach star who has the honor of Mr. Booth’s personal acquaintance'steps up and gossips a bit with an air of superiority over the other planets who are planted a long way from the sun. Herea new arrival says to a man, “T hear you are going to star next season; I observe a hazy halo around your head.” “More like around his chin,’’ says Mary Selten, calling attention toaday’sgrowts of scrubby beard which jAdorns the face of our prizo dude, who says to a lady standing near, ‘‘I am very hurt at eomething Lheard. I was told when your play was heing cast my nante was mentioned and you said you would not havo mo for anytkiug.” “But there was no part for ou and—-"” ‘Here, sweethcart,’’ says Bob Hilliard to the lady, suddcnly stopping recriminations. (Don’t be jealous, Madame: It wasonly Selina Dolaro to whom this affectionate grecting was made.) “WhenamIto hear tho part inyour new play that Lamtoact?”’ , Catherine Rogers, Aunt Louisa Eldridge, Kato Forsythe, Dora Goldthwaite, May Brooklyn, were ina front group talking about their dressés when another call from the stage manager warned us we were expected to act. ‘‘Now, ladies, at the cue, ‘Our Queen,’ all bow.” We do 80 in a loose, slipshod fashion. ‘We. are a mutual dependency society. So each star says; ‘When do we on? When dowe go off?” “Oh, watch tho others,” says a comforting voice, At this moment Nelson Wheatcroft passes;° one of the group says, “Oh, Mr, Wieatcroft, I hear yowroa father. What is it? Another Hamlet?’ ‘‘Ladies,’”’ said courteous Mr, Ben Teal, the stage manager, ‘will you go and choose your dress? U four flights of stairs, to the right.’’ t tell Mr. Teal that not for the wealth of the Indics could I walk up one flight of stairs, so I will hunt up some rags of my own, Can any one guess what that hunt cost me? I had my stage clothes unpacked, and they were spread in confasion beforeme. Dresses that had been filled by a comely form I threw aside hurriedly, not daring to look at them a second time. How those bits of gold embroidered satin became live memories, wringing my heart with pain at the vision of past glory and power that roso like incenseas the faint perfumeof dead powder pervaded the air! How I had flung off one dress to rush into another, with that boisterous strength which had been mimic! With what feelings of certain conquest those bits of poor faded’ tinsel had been-donned, and now—the crumpled masses strewn around me were filled with skeletons of my dead hopes! Of all the crowd who looked forclothcs on Monday, was there one whose search was as strange and sad as mine? 3 By the way, on looking over my rags, it struck me my legitimate wardrobe was remarkable for ite paucity. Tights andsmall unmentionable garments were there galore, but—well, at last Isewed up a man-: tle I used to wearin ‘‘TheSnake Charmer” into a skirt, and with sundry bits of embroidery and a largo red drapery I mapaged to render myself decent. When garbed in this queer mixture I looked like a cross between an empress of Byzantium B. C. anything and a first witch in a pantomime. I drecsed at home, took a very expensive cab—for which I still owe . (confiding liverymen, bless you!)—and drifted on thestag@on the eventful night. I was giving greetings to Mme, Mojeska when I remembered I had no rouge on, and I was very much kalsomined. Some ladies were there, dnd I asked if I could have some rouge. Again the stairs, P petaath: could not get up. Mme. jeska took all the trouble to fo with me to her room,and giving mo in charge of her maid left mo to complete my bar ah ie ced sweetly graceful it was of her to take so much trouble for me at amwoment of intense anxiety, for the task of acting in such a performance abe = ode nerves. . boot y began, and we, the star supers, spe a ckarcclag seating. We bela litle re ceptions in various corners, We went ou at tho right time—by luck—and then faded off. wee After the second act, amember of the . press who wanted to see Mr, Booth came on the stage, and looking about said, “Where is Hamlet?’ ‘“ibere are two “to its originul.color; makes the scalp ! editor of the “ Oveun Foam,” Cape May, ' NO MEMBERSHIP FEE.

I am still using ft, and could ask for no better results.” “Mrs. R. H.

Here is the picture of a gaudy procession of oriental . beauties, dressed in flesh-colored silk tights and a velvet fig leaf. Thereisa gory scene in which an 8-foot villain with a %-inch dirk is about to carve the heart of the 5-foot hero while the 4 foot heroine with a 4-inch derringer comes around the corner in time t6 punish vice and reward virtue, Here is acharming face of ‘‘Weefar off is the portrait of some barnstormer of the Texas wilds. Plans for stages and auditoriums drawn in white upon goblin-blue cardboard; ‘‘three sheet hangers’ in every color, possible and impossible; casta of Booth, Barrett, Davenport, Jefferson, Irving, O'Neill, Miln and other stars, great and small, in plaster, papier-mache and metal; hideous wood-cuts fot the rustic mind; signs and bulletin-boards are among the attractions with. which the walls are lined, The furniture consists of little desks and chairs, It isten aym. and the place is packed with customers and subscribers, P 2 At one desk a manager of continental reputation for his enterprise is engaging @ pretty black-eyed girl for emotional parts and at the same moment making dates with a travel-worn theatre-owner from St. Louis, A few feet away a dramatic editor is apologizing to an inebriated villain while : atall and ancient maid stands waiting her turn in which she will ask for a “lovely” notice in next Sunday’s Bazoo. Ata third desk is the agent for a Chicago printing house chatting with a circle of friends, The short, slender, nervous and black-eyed youth is N.§. Wood, the boy . scout, although a score of years have . rolled by since he assumed the name. The* tall, handsome, smoothly-shaven man next to him is H., M, Pitt, better kuown as Harry Pitt, lately of Edwin Atwell’s comedy, “lis Lordship.” Over both towers handsome Paul Nicholson, atill alert and interesting though gray with fifty years’ service on the stage. Nicholson is the spokesman and {is deascribing his last experience on the road. “T was with Campanini, an} we did a royal business. But operatic people are not theatrical people. They won't make hay while the sun shines, They aro all _abject slaven of Ilis Majesty, Themselves, We were no exception totherule. I was in Chicago when thotelegraph boy handed me a message: ‘Season closed; como home!’ Ilere was a pretty go. I had about a dollar, and owed bills amounting to s.venty-five. 1 telegraphed bick immediately for cash, received no reply, stayed in pawn a week, and then borrowed enough money on my personal credit to pay my debts and get home with. No more music for me for some time to come,"’ At the next desk isa crowd of managers talking to a booking-agent, The card over his desk explains his business; “Open time in Omaha, Lincoln, Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka, Wichita, et cet.” ‘ A second card “Open dates Wheeling and Louisville.” A veritable meeting of the East and West. Tho managers represent melodrama, “‘legitimate,” variety and light opera, One of them remarks: “How this knocks out the old way of doing business. It took mo two weeks writing and piegneoe: exchanging contracts and eign ng to close a date, and coat me a good round sum for postageaud wiring, Now I rush it through in a few minutes and it costs nothing.” There is the same adventage on the other side, as the commission paid by the distant theatre owner is far Jess than his booking expenses under the old style of administration. ‘ The company are listening to a chapter in Brayton’s career as manager of Maude Granger. “My star had done very well for several months, and unhappily got a slight attack of the disease which attacks all actors at times, ‘bighead.’ Wo had arranged to take the ten o’clock morning train, the only one that woul. reach our next stopping place in time for a performance, The company ani bag age were at thedepot, but where was the star? I went to her room as mad asa hornet and found her in bed reading a novel, In reply to my remarks, which were very brief and pointed, she said: “*Q let them bedisappointed; I’m going: to stay in bed!’ “I rushed out, hired two huge porters, and came back ina trice, We entered tho room and I drew out my watch: “«‘Miss Granger, if you're not up and dressed in five minutes, there men will roll you up in a blanket, carry you to a carriage aud put you on the train just as you are.’ “She saw I meant it, and that the two men would do the kidnap act, In three minutes she wasout in thecorridor ready to depart.” As they talk, a district messenger dashes in with a telegram, which is imlargest in history of house.” CARRYING THE CANE OR UMBRELLA. A Chapter of Instruction for the Youthful and Aspiring Dude, The accompanying will, I am confident, be of interest to my readers of the dude persuasion. It is a serious matter this carrying the cane or umbrella wisely and well, It will be noted that the popular impression that a cane should becarried grasped with both bands and in a ‘present arms” position is erroneous, It will also be seen that the elevation of the stick with one hand so that the head comes in exact line with the mouth, thus presenting an easy solution of what is popularly known as ‘nursing the cane head" Is equally wrong. ‘This from a man who is “over there’’ where he can see that of which he writes gives emphasis. to his statement: “Always carry an umbrella or a@ cane with a large head, But the manner of carrying these, that isthe most important item of my articleon ‘form.’ “Tl have observed this very carefully, and ‘all styles are proscribed but this one.
