they think he is drunk. There was
q case of this kind, a:few days ago,
at the Broadway theater, in this city.
An ACTOR named Goodman was on
the stage, in one of the pieces pro-
.duced by Mr. Chanfrau. But he
happened to be dying with the con-
sumption, and he failed to do JUS
tice to his part SO he was deemed
drunk, and got Kissed. Two nights
afterwards he was dead. Of course,
he should not have tried to act,
when in such i'll health! Only,
strange to say, he happened to be
poor as well as sick; and so it was
needful for him to work-which he
did, till he came near falling dead
in his tracks. There are some minds
that regard this sort Of conduct as
heroic performance of duty. But
that is not the popular view. In
stances Of this sort Of experience
are by no means rare. And the
moral we would urge is-justice to
the players. There are countless
idle, ignorant and offensive theories
current in society about the stage.
Thousands of ISLANDERS pass from
mouth to mouth throughout herds
of vulgar folks, in reference to many
of its professors. Drunkenness is
not the least of faults imputed to
them. We are, for our part, very
weary of such trivality and vileness.
Actors and actresses are human
creatures, with the same merits and
defects that mark our common hu-
manity and their profession stands
on precisely the same ground as the
other learned professions are recog-
nized in society; whereby they are
entitled to just the same human con-
|sideration and respect that is &C
corded to other workers in the hon
est business of the world. Not ev-
cry poor player, who chances to
stagger on the stage, does SO be
cause of champagne. Often he is
not half SO well acquainted with its
taste as the people who sit in judg-
ment upon him. Not every poor
ballet girl who dances in spangles,
is the wanton that she is thought to
be by yonder country merchant, who
expectorates blended profanity, mo-
rality and tobacco.juice, as he de-
nounces the New York stage, and
the wickedness this dreadful city
There may be black sheep in the
dramatic profession, but SO there are
in every walk of life. Let us judge
one another gently; or rather. see
ing that none of US can see clearly
into human motives and conditions,
let US not judge at all. Of the three
cardinal virtues, St Paul preferred
charity.-N. =. Tribune. -

A Word for Actors.

Many people, misled by the word
'amusements' as applied to thea
ters, and misled also by their own
vulgar and insolent notions as to
the morality Of the theatrical pro
fession fail to understand that act
ing, to the actor, is as much busi-
ness as law to the lawyer, or preach
ing to the parson. Sick or well, the
actor must be at his post of duty.
Death may be in his house and an
guish in his heart, but his smiles, his
laughter, his imagination, his wit,
and his mental and physical alac-
rity, must be ready, all the same,
since the demands of his business
are imperative and inexorable And
death and anguish do come to the
homes of actors, just as they come
to the homes of dealers in dry
goods, Goldfish, pickles, and Erie.
There is no difference, as to this
point, in the common lot of man.
Very often, therefore-far oftener
than many spectators know or i'm
agine-the actor, who rattles gaily
through his comedy, and is thought
to be the happiest of men (if by
chance he is thought to be the wick
eldest of Lotharios, is, in sober
truth, bowed to the very earth with
affiiction. Who cares, however
Who pauses to think ? What kind
ly, human consideration is needful,
toward mere mummers, who live to
amuse Let the lights burn, there
fore, and the music soundi We
must have no sad faced clown here
so cries the sagacious multitude
''the dramas patrons. % Sometimes
the actor flags little in his work,
or breaks down altogether; and then
