STARS AS SUPERS.
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

After the second act, amember of the
. press who wanted to see Mr, Booth came
on the stage, and looking about said,

The advance of time ts heralded by
bleached, thin, and falling hair. By the
use of Hall's air Renewer, the hair may
be restored to its original color, lustre, and

Mass., writes: ‘My hair was weak, thin,
‘and full of dandruff, Hall s Hair Renewer
lias removed the dandruff, and caused a .
vigorous growth of new hair.” Abel IT.
Smith, Portsmouth, Va., writes: “My
hair had nearly all fallen out, and that
which was left was dfy and dead. I used
one bottle of Hall's Hair
Renewer,
and now rejoice in the possession of hair
as abundant as ever.’ E, J. Adams, St.
Paul, Minn., writes: ‘A diseased scalp
caused my hair to fall out, and, after
using 2 number of preparations without
avail, I finally tried Hall’s Hair Renewer,
which caused a vigorous new growth. I
am still using ft, and could ask for no
better results.” “Mrs. R. H. Corning,
Tattle Creek, Mich., writes: ‘‘ By the use
of Hall's Hair Renewer, my head, which
was quite bald, has been covered wits @

writes: “ We speak knowingly, when we
assert that Lall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair
Renewer is the best of: its kind. The
article is an ciegant and cleanly‘one, without which we think no toilet complete.”
Thos. >. Jones, Middle Granville, N. Y.,
writes: “I have used
Hall’s Hair
Renewer about ten years, with satisfactory
results.” E.G. Perkins, Oberlin, Ohio,
writes: I considcer.Hall’s Hair Renewer
the best hair preserver in use. I have
used it for the past twenty years, and my
hair ts fn as vigorous and healthy a condltion as. when I was 30 years of age. Not
a sign of gray hair to be seen any where.’
Dwight L. Chamberlain, Oukland, Califoraia, writes: “ My hair, which was nearly
white, has been restored to its original
color and luxuriance by the use of Hall's
Hair Renewer.”

with a 4-inch derringer comes around the

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:

“I rushed out, hired two huge porters,
and came back ina trice, We entered

“«‘Miss Granger, if you're not up and
dressed in five minutes, there men will

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.’

‘all styles are proscribed but this one.
