AN ACTORS TRANSFORMATION.



The Hard but Not Impossible Job OF
Making Himself Look Like ModJeaka-
One Of the adopts in the transformation
Of a face for theatric purposes is an
actor so inconspicuous that you
probably do not recall him by name.
He had the part of a sneaking,~ slouchinR
spy in n melodrama the other week, and
his presentation of a thoroughly disrep-
liable and Shiny fellow was remarkable.
Ii occurred to me that l had once seen
him as the twin brother of "Violar in
Twelfth Night" whence his resemblance
to the dainty Madame Modjeska was a
feature of the entertainment. II was
hard to believe that the two figures had
the same man for "A basis. So | sought
out the actor, and got him to say:
The job Of making myself look like
Madjeska was hard, but far from inn
possible. | have what might be called Il
negative face. What l mean is that my
features are conyentional-no one of them
being striking. That is the prime requi-
site. Henry Irving, for example, couldn't
make up his face to look like me, but /
can easily produce n perfect likeness Of
him. In the first place, it can readily be
imagined that Modjeska did nothing on
her side to resemble me. She was con
ttin1h W look ncT pfettleSI, OF
course, and so the task was all
put on me. l began by supplying myself
with photographs giving her profile from
all sides. Guided by these, l studied out
she outlines and initiated them, partly by
painting, chiefly by sticking wax on. My
nose was built up to the shape OF hers,
though several sizes bigger. Then 1 got a
wig that was a counterpart of the one she
wore, and the duplication of some parts Of
her costume completed the job. Every
evening before going on the stage | re
paired to her room to compare myself with
her and to make any alterations that
seemed necessary.
b u you have forgotten that / alsc
played twin 10 Adelaide Nelson. The
process was substantially the same and
the result more successful, because she
had a dashing, manish manner in her as
sumption OF masculinity, and it was a
fact that, before spoke my first scene, the
audience, unfamiliar with the entrances
and exits of the play did not recognize
me. Miss Nelson had a keen sense OF fun,
and she seldom failed to put her eye to a
peep-hole to watch the people when they
discerned the counterfeit. That was her
nightly diversion while playing Twelfth
night. 'n-"Durandal' in Cincinnati En-

Those dizzy lads at Keefe's rink u up
a wonderful lot of didoes last evening hat
won them thunders of applause, especially
from the ladies', who split their gloves up
the back with their manifestations of de-
light. Frieberg made his steel steed
climb Il flight of stairs; made an upright
down mount on a wagon wheel without
touching the floor; carried Wells on his
shoulder on a single wheel; performed a
score or more of double tricks on the bicy-
Gle without Il dismount, and wound up by
spinning round ike a top in one spot
until the audience were dizzy. He then
stood upright in the saddle and guided
the machine with his feet, and to cap the
climax. balanced it on two chairs and
perched himself upright on the wheels.
These artists are acrobats as well as bicy-
c%lists, and are well worth seeing in their
specialties.

Could scarcely devise tortures more excru-

cases of rheumatism, the kidneys fail to

The District Conference.

The Opelousas District Conference OF
the Methodist Church South met at
Rayne, on Thursday morning, june
10Th. 1885. Bishop Keener and the T. +.
we're absent, and upon motion Rev. d.
o. White was elected temporary chair
man, and Rev. A. E. Clay of Morgan
City, Secretary. After due organlza-
ton, the body adjourned until Friday
morning. There were religious ser
vices three times every day, and two
sessions of the conference. The reports
from the various circuits and stations
were hopeful and encouraging. AT
Abbeville new church has been built
during the past year. At Rayne a new
church has been built, and attached to
it is a school room, but the building is
not quite out Of debt. Lake Charles,
Rev. Jas. E. Bradley, pastor, reported
large increase in membership-all
things moving with a boom. The
preaching was with fervency and full
of power. The preachers in spite OF
the financial pressure, were all III good
spirits and full of zeal. Rayne Station
is a city set not on hill but in prairie,
and for miles around can be distinctly
seen. IT it continues as it has COM
menced, and has no back-sets or cpl
demic visitation it will become quite a
large town. There seems to be much
energy concentrated there, and many
public spirited men. Three broad
minded high spirited men can give d
town forward movement which will
last for years. Conservatism is fine IN
its place, but when it does not build fol
wears to come it is death to all munich
pal progress. Rayne it is hoped has
some public spirited men ready to pust
her forward and keep her ever broaden,
ing and developing. By Monday even
ing every preacher was in his own home
! at his forge getting ready for figh
against vice aud sin. G.. G. Duson, w
i G. Chevis, Jas. Ivy Hufpauir and R. S
Wilkins, were elected delegates to th'
annual conference which meets a
Baton Rouge next January. The mex
District Conference will meet at Pla
duemine Brulee. The entertainment 0
the conference was generous and ele
CANT, and the preachers went hom
:, captivated by the citizens of Rayne.
May their shadows never grow less.
