Henry Irving.
HENRY IRvING's CONTRACT.
''Irving had agreed with London
photogf apher not to have any pictures
taken in this country and of course kept
his word. The fact of the matter is that
instead OF paying them it is the actress,
in the majority of cases, that pays us.
This grew out of the fact that if we in
vited a star to have her pictures taken
her entire company would come and ask
and expect the same thing. It was
usually the case with the lesser lights
that an express wagon would roll up to
our door, and before we knew what was
being done two or three trunks of cos
UNNECESSARILY their entire wardrobe
would be numbering up our office.
"The most shapely woman on the
American stage to-day is, beyond doubt,
Rose Wilson, who played in Kiralfy
Brothers spectacular pieces of last sea-
son. She is as near perfect as it is posi-
bic for any one to be. Her hands, it is
true, are possibly little too heavy, but
there was positively not another blemish
about her Miss Forsythe takes an
unusually good picture and it is owing,
in great measure, to the fact that she
leaves the choice of position and back
ground entirely with the operator. Marie
Janson, who created such a furore here
among the young men, was the best sub
ject [ ever had and | regard her photo
graphs as some Of the very best work We
have produced. Ii was q common thing
fer dozen or more young men to drop in
during day while she was playing here
and buy her picture.
MADAME JANAUscHEK AND MAUD GRANGER.
Madame Janauschek is one of the few
actresses whom any one would recognize
on the street after having seen her on the
stage. The same strongly-marked. stern
face, is met on the street as is seen be-
hind the foot-lights. Maud Granger has
one beauty that few actresses possess-a
pretty hand. Pretty hands are rarity, |
and, in fact, hers is the only pretty hand |
ever saw on an actress. The hands of |
welcomed women OF the stage are large |
and fat and often clumsy. This, l be- |
lieve, is owing principally to neglect. It |
is olly within the last few years that |
proper attention has been given to the |
hands and marked improvement is al |
ready noticeable.
at is seldom that an actress is popular |
with the ladies'; in fact, / know of but /
one exception, JEANNE Winston, now
playing in Baltimore. During her engage
ment here last season we had scores of |
lady applicants for her pictures every
day, and the demand was so unusual that
was astonished.
MILE. RHEA's CHARMING MANNERS.
mile. Rhea is one of the most attract
i've ladies / ever met. Her manners
have an irresistible charm for every one
and one feels glad of the opportunity of
doing her a service. She is always at her
ease, unaffected and yet dignifed. In
marked contrast to Mile. Rhea is Nine
Janish, her countrywoman. Nine Jan
sh is nervous and fretful and anything
but an easy subject to take. If anything
happens to displease her there comes the
significant shrug of the shoulders and
stamp OF her high-heeled boot. The
who possesses the prettiest foot of
any in the theatrical profession is Jeffreys
Lewis. Hers is long, narrow foot, with
nigh instep, and could not be better
formed
"Among our best selling pictures-and
it is fair evidence of the popularity of
the originals-few sell more readily than
those of Effie Ellser and Annie Pixley
Miss Beecher, of McCaull's Opera Com
pany, should also be mentioned. She is
unusually pretty and popular and the
demand for her likeness is steady and
continued. Wecan almost tell the course
IF her company from the way the orders
come in, each week from a new place.
The demand for character pictures is
rapidly dying out and is gradually being
lsurped by desire to have photograph
