OF Lolita.
In some of the theatres in the larger cities,
too, the dressing rooms are all thai the most
fastidious star could ask for. They are neat
ly carpeted, the walls and ceilings are deco
rated sttractively, the furniture is comfort
able, substantial and sometimes even elegant,
and running water and neat lockers make
making up IA pleasure.
Perhaps nothing could give one a better
Idea Of the number md variety of the cos
metics used by our darlings of the stage nec-
essarily, be 1t said than a glimpse into a
dressing room. Here is a characteristic list
made up from the shelf of ono of the mem
bers Of a farce comedy company One box of
face powder, two hnre's feet, one bottle of
white powder and a sponge, one powder
puff, one can OF dry powder, one can of white
v~aseline, one menthol pencil, one box Of red
grease paint, one box OF CHERRY lip one
box of cold cream, two pin cushions, one
electric hair curler, one nail polisher, two
tooth brushes, one pencil brush and box Of
pigment, one pair OF hair curling tweezers,
one complete make up box, one bottle Of
tooth wash, one pair OF nail scissors, one mus
tard plaster, -four or FIVE combs and brushes,
one needle and thread box and one box of
dry paint.
In addition to the above there were three
pairs of c~orsets, one pair Of stockings, an odd
slipper or two and other articles for which
there are no names in the male vocabulary.

taking three days r. LYMAN BLANCHARD
over the journey. Between his seventeenth
and twentieth years he produced as many
as thirty dramas, farces and burlesques. He
also wrote a lumber of p~antomimes for small
theatres under the nom de plume of Fran
co.'s Frost. -
be was so well known ass dramatic writer
in 1871 that he was retained as the stock dra-
mntist at the Olympic theatre, London. At
the age of 81 he edited weekly a literary mis-
cellany entitled Chambers London journal.
While busy with his journal he wrote n one
act farce called The Artful Dodger, =" for the
Olympic theatre. In another year he wrote
a droll piece called Pork Chops, or n Dream
at Home" for the same theatre.
Aside from stage work, Mr.. Blanchard de-
lighted in writing for the comic press, and he
contributed to most OF the comic sheets that
for a time tried TO strive against Punch. One
Of these is Fun, which has lived and for
which he wrote q great deal of witty matter.
Two novels, Temple Bar and "a Man
Without a Destiny" are from his pen. At
% he was the editor of The New London
Magazine. THE Carpet Bag and Sketch
Book" and "The Seven Ages of Woman are
his best works. Since 1856 he remained on
the literary staff of The Daily Telegraph.
and for more than fifteen years wrote weekly
essays on London amusement for The Bir-
minghnm Daily Gazette.
Mr.. blanchard played many parts during
his life time, such as editor, compiler, essay
list, lyrist. critic, novelist and dramatist
He has probably written more largely for the
amusement Of children than any one author.

travel around the country more or less. And
all must admit that travelling is growing
more easy every year. The public, too, each
year seems more willing to give up its shekels
TO the people Of the stage, and the more
tickets sold at the box Office the higher sal
aries will be and the less chance the perform
ers VIII stand of getting the finger
There seems, moreover, to rave been more
attention paid to the comfort Of the perform
srs in tue theatres which have been built dur
ing the last year than ever before, and the
movement will probably continue. 1t has
been a long time coming, but it evidences I'M
doubted evidence of staying powers now that
1t has at last got here.
An interesting chapter could be written on
the way different actors and actresses behave
In their dressing rooms. 1t Is said, for in
stance, that Edwin Booth used to dress with
almost incredible rnpidity and Then sit down
with a short, black pipe in his mouth to puff
away contentedly while waiting for. his cue.
Henry Irving is credited with doing a little
bit of ranting in his dressing room while max
ing up, just TO get his vocal organs into con-
dition, you know, before going on the stage.
Clara Morris, it is said, invariably has her
dressing room shelves Uttered with medicine
bottles from which she ever and anon doses
herself. Mary Anderson is said to be ak
tremely cranky about her dressing room
md all things pertaining thereto.

che Comedie Franchise, Mile Bernhnrdt, Mile.
Reichemborg, Mile. Bartel, the two Coque-
lins, and ALT he other celebrities have splendid
apartments In which they are transformed
from plain men and women into the pam
percd darlings OF the stage; a gorgeous green
room, too, with half open door, affords n
glimpse Of luxury to the vizitor.
But some facetious writer has said that the
American dressing rooms remind one OF the
Comedie's because they are so unlike. OF
course It seems hard to believe that the lady
killing leading man Of the play does not leis-
ureiy Saunter to the stage from some SPLEEN
didly appointed apartment-his spotless shirt
front, his. speckless broadcloth, his daintily
curled mustache seem to tell a tale Of luxuri-
Gus ease. But the appearances are deceptive.
The probability Is that the place whore all
those matters wore prepared was n little
coop, probably not moro than ten or twelve
feet square, hot in summer, cold In winter,
dirty, badly ventilated, and perhaps damp
and III smelling. The litter OF wigs and
property" hats and coats and false shirt
fronts Is not likely to add to the attractive
ness OF the room either. In short, the dress
ing room is not a boudoir but a Workshop.
OF course IL seems hard to believe that the
heroine OF the play, who Is In the first act a
simple little country maiden, Is not fresh
from a bower OF roses and golden rod inter
twincd, and that, when she comes on later,
richly dressed and a society belle, she has not
just stepped from regions upholstered with
soft plush and hung with gorgeous satins.
But tho chances arc that she has had to climb
up n dark stairway or two, pick her way
carefully through n confusion of ropes and
beams, dodge four or five hurry grips" and
perhaps lose her temper, in finding her way
from the stuffy little dressing room to the
foOtlights.

About the walls stood open trunks and ar
tcles Of clothing innumerable. Hats, skirts.
wraps and shoes were everywhere.
What is generally considered to be a neces-
sary adjunct to life behind the scenes by the
innocent public, Is a green room" 1t is not
probable that more than half the theatres
have such ar apartment, however. The
green ROOM lin those theatres that have
them is n place for the performers to chat
and make themselves comfortable while wait
ing for their cues. Where the name green
room" came from Is lost In the dim obscurity
Of stage tradition Certain it is that they
are never, by any chance. finished in green.
The popular Idea OF events In the green room
has probably been largely obtained from a
farce, which some years ago was reasonably
successful. called Green Room Fun But
IL is safe to say that Screen Room Fun had
very little foundation in fact. Actors and
actresses are not given TO romping and tom-
toolery before they go on" 1t would have
a tendency to diSarrange their make up.
And after they go Off they don't linger
In the green room. They are too anxious to
go to their rooms and get what sleep they
can 1t is said that lin the good old DAYS
things were different There is always a
tendency to say that. Almost everybody
likes occasionally to glorify the past and
villify the present, and it doesn't do any par
ticular harm. 1t is likely, however, that II
the truth were told IL would be seen that the
good old tines were not as good, by many
degrees, as the year OF our Lord eighteen hum
ared and eighty nine.

The d~rr5-ing room is simply a place to
"mnsc up" and throw on and throw of
clothing. Theatres nrc built with more re-
gard 10 economy OF space than 10 the COM
fort Of the performers, and the dressing
rooms are tucked away in nil sorts Of incon-
venicnt places. The dark regions under the
stage generally furnish space for one or two,
and perhaps others are located high up in the
draughty lofts. No place, as n general rule,
is too disagreeable to hold a dressing room.
Another thing that has its effect is the fact
that the days OF stock companies have passed
away, and that the travelling organizations

such circumstances no actor or actress has
time 10 impress his or her individuality on
any dressing room that they may chance to
inhnbit for n few hours or a few days. And
what If the place is dirtyi The probability
is that restless sleep caught on railroad trains
and in hotel rooms, tiresome rehearsals and
perhaps an unappreciative audience or two,
have 80 wearied the performer that the first
thing thought OF is to get out OF the street
clothes into the stage costume and vice versa
as quickly as possible and nave IT over with.
Some years ago certain members OF ''the
profession" began a crusade against dirty
dressing rooms The managers, however,
brought forth an unanswerablo argument

rooms are occupied by hundreds OF different
people in tho course OF a season and that the
occupants, especially the males, are not al

Edward Leman Blanchard, the noted dra-
matist, who recently died in England, was
born in London Dec. II, 1910. His father,
William Blanchard, a noted comedian, played
In the United States many years ago, and
originally acted under the name OF Bentley.
Upon the death Of his father, in 1885, young
blanchard realized that he had to make his
own way in the world. After a vain search
for work he secured an engagement witt an
exhibition OF the oKy-hydrogen microscope,
which was then making some stir. His en-

has taken it of; and when that course Is fol-
lowed the chances are even that n broken
mirror or crack in the plastering will be the
result. But 1t almost seems as IL shying
shoes was n favorite game among theatrical
performers, judging from the great number
Of broken mirrors and defaced walls.
So far, reference has only been made TO the
individual dressing rooms Of the stars and
actors and actresses who play prominent
parts The choruses and supernumeraries
are favored even less. Two long rooms-one
for the men and one for the women-must
suffice for them Around 1t there runs a shelf
or two, and the only decorations on the walls
are the numerous wardrobe hooks. These
are, Of course, in PROPULSION. A bit of cracked
and dingy looking glass hangs at one end of
the room, and under 1t, on n rickety stand, is
a water bowl and pitcher-sometimes. Of
tener a tin basin and can are the only ablu-
tory Arrangements. When a company is I'm

tumble OF tights and yellow wigs, bodices,
pads and slippers lying about in apparently
hopeless confusion.
There are exceptions to the rule of untidy
dressing rooms, however. Lolita, for instance,
has a maid who keeps her dressing room as neat
as a pin. She finds room in the popular little
