A great many years ago Jenny Lind went
to dine at the house of famous British
duchess. After dinner the hostess asked
her to sing. In return she received care
less shake of the head. The hostess in
sisted, but the diva had eaten heartily and
the stupor of digestion had caught her in its
grasp, and she still refused the request of
her hostess. Thereupon the duchess be-
came impOrtunate, and finally she leaned
over in flushed feminine confidence and told
the great singer that the company had been
called together solely to hear her voice, and
that If she did not sing they would never
come to the duchess house again. Jenny
Lind then rose. sang twice, went home, and
on the following day sent bill for e300 to
the duchess. The duchess paid it, and
thereafter when celebrities in the operate
or dramatic world were invited out TO dine
with the princes and dukes OF baccarat they
charged tor their services. This led to the
establishment of agents in London, whose
business ii is TO provide h0stesses with cele-
brated entertainers for their guests.

Refuses to Turn the Screw.

The proposition of Theatrical Arbitra-
ton Committee to settle out of court dis
putes arising between managers aud actors,
as outlined in letter to the Sun from Marc
Kaw, has met with some approval. 1t is
also condemned by those who believe that
the law courts should be good enough for
the managers if they are satisfactory to the
actors. Charles Frohman said TO Sun
reporter: II have refused positively to go
into any such arrangement. | feel that
there is already quite enough difficulty sur
rounding the actors in their work, which
makes constant travellers of many Of them,
and subjects them largely TO the vicissi-
tudeS and uncertainties of the theatrical
business. There is no warrant for any
combination being formed against them.

Irving and His BOYS.

1t is stated that Henry Irying's sons have
given up their plans to enter into other pur-
suits than the stage, and both will become
professionals. They are said to inherit some
of their fathers talent. Another para
grapher says that by his fathers special de-
sire his son Henry will commence his
thea trical career under John Hare, the
lessee. manager and leading actor OF the
Garrick Theater. and further, that young
Henry will make his debut at that theater
in the ''SchOol for Scandal AS there is no
such character in the east of Sheridan's
play, we do not see how this can well be-
Perhaps, however, papa Henry has inter
polated nice little easy bit for his young
Ster. Popular actors take great liberties
with the classic English drama.

little or no value until Brady galvanized it
into life, "1he Bottom of the Sea" was
buried in the depths of the past and he

A man may know great many things that
prove of no value to him, but Brady's

has also the shrewdness of abandoning a

The Ban OF the swiveI-Eyed.

1t was the first night, says the New York
Sun, of an operate performance at one OF
the city theaters. All was intense excite
ment behind the curtain. The prma donna
was declaring that she could not go on, that
she had lost her self-contrOl, and felt like
going into Mysteries. She went nerVOusy
about, trembling with emotion, and uttering
what sounded like prayers that she might
be saved from failure. She had several
times stopped to peep through small hole
in the curtain at the audience on the other
side. Suddenly, as she had paused once for
this purpose. she started back in great
alarm, clutched at her heart and seemed
about TO faint.
"lhere's a cross-eyed man in the front
row." she gasped. a. | am doomed unless
you get him away. l can't go on-oh! L
can't! can't! Get him out of the theater
at 0nce!
The manager tried to reason with her,
but TO no purpose. She was In All exceed
ingly unstrung condition, and he saw that
TemonStCance was only making her worse.
Give me the ticket of A IL for tO-mOr-
row night" he said hurriedly to the treas
urer.
Then the manager dashed into the theater
again and summoned the head usher.
Find a man who wants seat" he said
to the usher. Don't ask any questions
now. L gu are 10 take MIN down 10 the
front row with this coupon, and show him
to 4 II. There is a man in A II now You
will ask for his coupon. He will hand it 10
you, and you will look at it and say that it
| is for the seat for tomorrow night, at the
| same time handing back to him this coupon.
Then YOU will tell him that this man has to-
nights check for the seat, and say that if
he will go TO the box-office everything will
be made right. | will be at the box-office
when he gels there Now hurry"
The usher obeyed the directions as swiftly
| as he could. The cross-eyed man under
| took to dispute the newcomers claim to the
seat, but, upon the clever interchange Of
checks by the usher, he was easily con-
vinced, and with iii grace made his way out
to the box-office. The manager affected
| deep regret.
IL can't give you another seat in the front
row for tonight" said he, but you shall
have an excellent one further back, and for
tomorrow, if you like, l VIII make you a
present of two as near the stage as You want
| couldn't do fairer than that, could I?"
The cross-eyed man agreed that IL was a
reasonable compromise and went in to take
his seat in the rear of the parquet as con-
tented as he could be under the circum-
stances. By the time the manager had
hurried back into the theater the curtain
was rung up. and the prlma donna, looking
as confident and serenely happy as queen,
was bowling her Acknowledgements to per-
feet cyclone of applause which had greeted

years continuous service, while her father
was a prominent officer during the late war
and attained the Tankot Major. Miss Cros-
man is an actress of great versatility and
experience, and in her repertoire she has
played everything from Parthena to TOpsy.
She is equally at home in comedy, tragedy
or drama, and in the extended repertoire of
Daniel FrOhman's splendid organization she
PLAYS several difficult, varied and character
istic parts. She is a magnificent dresser,
and her superb costumes show to advantage
her irrepToachabe form and dashing style.
She has created more parts at first nights
and trial matinees than any other young
actress on the stage.
