LITTLE PEOPLE OF WOOD.
What the Narionettes Are and HOY
They are Operated.

They are Operated.
Few people who have watched the anus
ing capers of the little jointed puppets of
wood in Marionette shows have much of an
idea how they are made to waltz and dance,
wag their heads, and go through all of the
movements of real people.
The Marionettes are nothing new They
were known to the Greeks and nobody
knows how long the entertainment was in
vogue before their time. From the Greeks
they passed to the Romans The early
MariOnettes were made of paper. Those
made now are chiefly of wood, and they
have reached their greatest perfection
in Italy and France.
The first Marionette figures brought to
this country are those which are being ex-
hibited by the Bell-Ellis Company here.
They are % years old, and have been played
in nearly every city in the country during
that time. The figures are just what they
look to be on the miniature stage where
they perform-pieces of wood hinged to-
gether with leather, and dressed like men
and women.
Attached to the legs, arms, head, mouth
and every part of the body which is to be
moved are cords of different lengths of the
finest saddler's silk doubled and twisted. The
cords or strings are long enough to allow
the figure to be operated several feet below
where the operator stands on what is
known as ''the BRIDGE" and are attached
to a stick about foot long which the op-
orator holds in his hand. Some of the fig
ures, which require a greater number of
cords than Others are operated by means
of a double system of cords. With the
figures in full sight, and the cords moving
every part of them in his hand, the operator
is able to put them in almost any position.
The success of the show depends upon the
skill of the operators and their ability to
give a dramatic movement and voice to the
figures. The skeleton is the most
difficult figure to handle, over a
dozen cords, running through holes and
slots, being required to put it in the gro
tesque shapes that the figure assumes
frequently the cords get tangled aud
kinked, and then the figures make quick
exit and the cords are wound up like kite
string and Mr.. Jones or Mr.. Smith is hung
up on peg alongside of the dancing Chlnee
or the warbling Irishmen.
The little figures are well made and very
seldom get out of order, and what the man
ayers like, their expenses are small and
their salaries are low, aud they never
grumble. To look at them from the
stage it is simple and apparently easy
enough to manage the figures, but to do it
is quite another thing. Prof. Ellis has been
operating them for about eleven years, and
is one of the most skillful Marionette man
ayers in the country. He is assisted by Mr.
John Mack, who, next to Prof. Ellis, is one
of tae most skillful manIpulators OF the
strings.

owed him $i5. Later in the evening Mar
