JOSEPH JEFFERSON has been writing
his autobiography at odd times for sew
eral years past 1t tells of his travels
as boy in his fathers company in the
primitive towns of the West and then
gives complete account of his work,
the principal happenings of his career

LORRAINE RoGERs, manager Of Char
lotte Thompson, was the first business
manager of the California Theater, in
San Francisco, in 1869, when Lawrence
Barrett and John Mccullough were
proprietors. Ben Stern, now represen-
tative of the Carleton Opera Company,
was the third occupant of the chair of
which Mr.. Rogers was first.
The recent invention of an opera hat
for ladies, which is destined to revolu-
tionize the millinery business, is pat
ented by an English lady, and consists
of hat made on wire frame, trimmed
with lace and flowers. 1t will close
similar to gentleman's evening hat,
and can be sat upon without injury. It
is also convertible into fan.
DUMAS two children inherit the dra-
matte and literary talent Of their par
ents. Jeannine, the youngest, is a
violinist Of talent. Colette, the eldest
daughter, is now Nine. Lippmann, wife
of wealthy manufacturer. No French
girl has been brought up more severely
than Dumas daughters; until her mar
riage only once had Colette seen ball,
and there she met her husband.
WHEN Mr.. Booth and Sig. Salyini
played their brief engagement together
in the East Miss Marie Wainwright was
chosen to play the heroines. Her
knowledge of French enabled her to
interpret for the two stars, and the
italian tragedian was SO taken with her
that he recently wrote offering her a
large sum to support him. Her own
starring tour compelled her to decline.
EDWARD HARR1GAN, the well-known
manager, actor, and author, was ship
caulker before he took to the stage and
became Tony Harris partner; Augustin
DAILY was dramatic critic; z. G. Gill
more was dandy" bartender; J. M.
Hill was leading Chicago clothier,
and Daniel Frohman was an advertising
clerk in the New York World counting
room in Manton Mable's day. Frank
Sanger, manager of the Broadway
Theater, and Augustus Pitou, manager
of w. J. Scanlan, Rose Coghlan, and
Robert Mantell, were actors.
ANOTHER Stetsonian tale is to the eff
feet that when John Malaprop Stetson,
the celebrated Boston manager, had re-
built his Globe Theater he one day es-
corted combination manager through
it. The visitor expressed warm admir-
alton for the general effect of the inter
Tor SO far as it's eye-pleasing qualities
were concerned, but thought the accous-
tic properties were bad. "Do you think
SO ?" inquired the disappointed owner.
"Then by Jehu I'll discharge that prop,
erty man in holy minutel won't
have no such bloody fizzle round my
theater, now you betP
JULIA MARLowE will fill Mary Ander-
sons Eastern dates. It is refreshing to
see the progress of this young artistic.
By force of her genius and by reason OF
her application she has advanced to the
front rank of her profession. No adj
ventitious circumstance has awarded her
the place she now occupies. Mary An
derson, in conceding to Julia Marlowe
the dates she herself was not able to fill
in consequence of her illness, shows a
commendable spirit, and one so free
from the faint of jealousy that it will ell
evate her still higher in the estimation
of her friends and add to the list of her
| admirers.
