But at the stage door there is quite a diff
ferent state of things. The stage door is gem
orally on a side street and is always dark and
dingy. The curtain falls on the last tableau.
The musicians put up their Instruments and
adjourn TO the nearest beer saloon. The fairies
ind amazons skurry to their dressing rooms,
the lights are put out in the auditorium. the
front doors are closed and to all appearances
the theatre is deserted. but a devoted little
band is gathered around the stage door. These
nre the inevitable loungers who don't know
anybody on the stage, but who are consumed
with a wild desire to make the acquaintance
of a live actress. For some unexplained rea-
son these hopeless ones are generally shabby
in appearance. There are the young dudes.
gorgeous in evening dress, who are honored
with the acquaintance of some young woman
II the chorus and who stands about the stage
door, not SO much to meet the girl as to show
the world that theyIeally do know some one
in the theatrical profession. Very often the
fairy or amazon they are waiting for simply
honors them with a nod and hurrias off to
keep an engagement with some other man. but
the dude is happy all the same, he has been
recognized. Then there are the husbands of
the members of the company and the omni-
present small boy, It's easy in the motley

Stage door romances we have in aburd-
ance. They are but countless variations Of
the sickening tale of mans inlumanity to
woman. Yet on the whole these stories are

young women, occupying subordinate posi-
tons on the stage, who are us correct in their
, lives, as modest in their demeanor OFF the
stage, as good daughters and us faithful
wives as their more fortunate sisters who oc-
cupy the boxes and look with affected horror
upon their abundant display of figure. I'M
morality does not always array itself in
tights by any manner of means. 1t is tho
fast ones who bring themselves into no
toriety, that is all. Stories of their escapades
are the talk of the own for a few weeks, and
the whole profession is judged in the
public mind by these by no means fair sam
pies, and the stories old by the hangers-on
about the stage door go to swell the mass of
untruthful gossip. The dude who waits
patiently at the stage door for q glimpse of
the object of his admiration, and whose de-
votion is only rewarded by a cold nod OF
recognition, does not tell the story of the way
in which he was "leftn at his club or over his
glass of lemon and vichy at the bar. If he is
rallied on his amour in a h~alf-envious way by
his fellow dudes, he has a fully developed and
wholly imaginary story to substantiate his
reputation as a Don Juan, or, what is often
worse, he is silent and winks. A wink will
do more to destroy a girls good name thar

New York, Oct. 1I.-There is a vast
amount of nonsense written about the
Green rooins'' of theatres, and it seems
to be a generally accepted notion that
orgies of the widest description are nightly
held in these mysterious, ~verdant-hued apart
ments. Especially in theatres where anna.
zonian marches and scant drapery are seen,
are the green rooms" supposed to be the
~favorito lounging place of the gilded youth
about tow WHO ilirts with the ballet girls,
| opens dozens of champagne between the ACTS,
| and plans the destruction of the virtuous and
hard working young ~coryphee who supports
her widowed mother and eleven small
brothers and sisters by toiling nightly
on her toes at S11 a week. This sort of
stuff makes excellent padding for the sensa-
| tional correspondent, and furnishes subjects
for effective illustrations. The only trouble
is that it is not true. The "green room, y as
it does exist, is a stuffy little apartment, fur
| nisled with a number of cheap chairs and a
large mirror, and is used by the walking
ladies and gentlemen as a waiting room.
when their services are not required IN the
stage, The star goes TO his or her dressing
room or stands in the wings, according to the
length of the wait. The beautiful amazons,
fairies and other creatures of tights and tulle
are marched off to the big dressing room
assigned to them with military precision, The
green room fun is a wild Pigment of the lurid
imagination of the space writer. An outsider
rarely crosses its uninyiting threshold, and
about the greenest thing in the whole connec-
ton is the reader who swallows the yarns.
