Theatrical JeaIousies,

In no profession does the green eyed
monster" play SO big a part as in that Of
the stage. lnmany companies the jealousy
behind the scenes has made nearly every
member the enemy of al the others. Of
course every play gives one or two actors
better opportunities thdu others have, and
the unfortunate ones almost invariably
blame their fellow actors rather than the
playwright. If one actor gets more APP
plause than the Others he is generally
pretty thoroughly hated. In one case Of
which l know, the leading man had love
scene with the leading woman, in which
she generally carried of the honors. One
night, while he was apparently embracing
her in a most &GectIOnlte manner, he
was in reality Pinching her arm in an effort
to make her break in her part and
"queer" the scene. But she bore the pain
without waveriug in her protestations of
love for a moment, or expressing the slight
est surprise at treatment which must have
aroused all the wrath that was in her. OF
course this was an extreme instance, and
the actor was promptly discharged when
the manager was told the facts; but it Is
not at all unusual TO be told by one actor
or actress that another is always ''hogging
the center, or "hoEEing" something, else,
when in reality the player referred to Is
merely carrying out the requirements OF
the part.

NHAltll5 BALL.
She has been on the stage about nine
years. having first appeared as Dolly
Dutton in that charming creation, Hazel
Kirke," which Steele Mackaye gave US.
Her work in that play, its companion
piece May Blossom, - and in De Mile and
Belasco's, "The Wife, aud "The Charity
Ball" practically covered her stage career
mp to this season, when she began to de
light New Workers in The Idler."
But while Mr.. Frohman seldom gives
us an opportunity for realizing the fact, it
is the old comedies which give Miss Cayvan
the best opportunity for showing the re-
markable versatility and delicacy of her
talent As Lady Te"zle in The School for
Scandal she was inimitable.
Ii is hard TO get her TO talk about the
stage When she is in Harlem the Lyceum
theatre seems to be as far away in her
thoughts as Chicago or the middle of the
Atlantic, and in her dressing room it IS
apparently not much nearer. 10 must not
be inferred. however, that she does not
love her profession or that she Is not am
bilious. Only she is more of woman than
an actress.
For that reason it is surprising to learn
that she prefers parts well sailed with vii
lainy, and abhors what she calls the
"sweetly sentimental She wants plenty
of work, vigor and expression IL her parts.
Monotones, particularly of grief, disgust
her Another thing which she emphatic
ally objects to she puts under the head Of
"long runs, but unfortunately for her the
public does not agree with her on this
score. IL takes the theatregoers a long
time to tire of Miss Cayvan in part. Dis
like of long runs is almost universal
among actors and actresses, by the way.

affection for a dozen. And 1t is fair to put
Georgia Cayvan's name among the first of
this chosen few.
There is a good reason for this, besides
the fact that she Is an excellent actress, in
the circumstance that most Of her stage
work has been done in the metropolis. She
is an especial proJege Of Father knicker-
booker, so TO speak.
If YOU can imagine an ideal society
woman on the stage you can paint men
tai picture Of Georgia Cayyan. Not
woman whose life is passed in an endless
round Of balls and dinners and small talk,
but a woman whose love OF home Is great
enough to make il delightful for the others
fortunate enough to live in it, and a woman
bright enough and beautiful enough to
make a glimpse from an outsider into that
home cause him to wish iervently that he
had one like it. IL may seem strange in
writing of an actress TO speak first Of her
as domestic personality, but Miss Cayvan,
even in her dressing room at the theatre
between the acts of a performance, with
the make up" still on and the litter of
the stage strewn about, impreSseS one as a
very pleasing hostess rather than rs an
actress being interviewed; and if you are
fortunate enough afterWard 10 see her

bert Kelcey, is two .aos5 famous actors.
You see. have the most incontrovertible
proofs"
Her unlucky numbers are IS and 10.
Why she considers them unlucky she re-
fuses to say.
Miss Cayvan does not come of profes-
sional family. She IS one Of the many IA
vors which Boston has done for the couD-
try; but Boston gave her up grudgingly,
and inveighed against the theatrical pro
fession generally and particularly in the
effort TO keep her 70 itself All sorts Of
dire predictions were m;lde by the good
people Of the lab wAen she started away;
and she recalls with amusement the ex-
preston Of surprise on tae face of one Of
her Boston friends VINO saw her after she
had had years experience on the stage.
Miss Csyvsn was visiting in Boston, and
they met on a street car. The friend look
ed at her Tor Il moment, with astOnishment
and qualification evidenced on her face.
Then, Is she shook hands, she calculated,
why, you're just the same, aren't you"

expected TO find that l had grown horns
or turned purple"
Like nearly all actresses of any conse-
quence, Mss Cayvan j. q very busy woman.
When she IS not at the theatre or at work
at some one OF the huLdrei things con-
nected with the theatre. and of which the
public knows nothing, she i generally con-
irving some little comfort for her home.
She made "a startling discovery the other
day. Il found that had spent 50 much
time making these things" she told me,
that I had had 10 chance TO enjoy them
