apt to be made? Did you ever notice that
the most successful.actors were men with pro-
nounced featuresP A prominent nose and bril-
liant eyes are natural concomitants to success on
the stage, and as those features are distinctive
marks of the Jewish race, is it not barely posi-
BILE that the mere fact Of an actor possessing
them may lead to his being classed among the
chosen?
But 50 far as the drama il concerned, it is
not surprising that the Jew is not found partici-
pating in theatrical productions in the early
history of the English STAGE The first per-
formances were mysteries and miracle
plays, depicting the suffering Of the mar
tyn, and the principal performers were
monks and priests. Missionaries would COM
biDe preaching with playing, and it is narrated
of St Adhelm that when his audience became
weary he would take small harp from under
his gown and strike up song. In the year
1119, Godfrey, monk, was q manager at
Dunstable, and produced ''rhe Life of St Kath-
erine.o For 90 veral centuries the Church en-
ployed the stage for religious ends, but in
1887, after the birth Of legitimate tragedy and
comedy, theatres were bitterly attacked by
Gosson, the parson of st. Botolph's, in his
book entitled "a School of Abuse, - and aimed
as he said, against poets, players testers, and
J such like Caterpillars of Commonwealth"
About this time was passed statute CHASING
} players as rogues and vagabonds, unless they
: could procure license from two justices In
: view of all these facts it is not strange that
Jewish actors were comparatively unknown
until the present century. Be that as it may,
7 the first recorded instance of Jewish acting
antedates the Roman Thespians, Roscius and
Esopus many centuries. It is narrated in ]
! Samuel, 81, that David fed for fear of Saul to
Achish, the King of Gath; but finding the latter
, unfriendly, changed his behavior before them
and feigned himself mad in their hands and scrab
bled ON the doors of tn gate, and let his spit
tie fall down upon his beard" David must have
performed his part remarkably well, for Ach-
: ish said unto his servants. ''Lo ye see the
Q man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought
him to me? Have I..need of madmen, that "
8 have brought this fellow to play the madmar

; my house?" After this successful. portrayal Da
vid was allowed to depart thence and escapes

Jewish Actors.

During his recent engagement at the Grand
Opera House in this city, Henry Irving, the
celebrated English actor, in published inter-
view, expressed himself of the opinion that
Jews were the principal patrons of the theatre.
I do not think there is q single theatrical man
ager in any of the larger cities of the Union
but who will corroborate Mr.. Irving's state
ment. So far as San Francisco is concerned, if
anyone doubts the assertion, let him step into
any of our leading temples of Thespis, especial
~ on first night" and in all likelihood his
skepticism will at once be removed. And since
our Jewish fellow-citizens are SO liberal in their
patronage of the art, I have often wondered
why it is that there were not larger number
of our co-religionists who had acquired fame
and fortune in the deamatic profession.
To be sure one often hears the remark that
this actor or that actress is an Israelite, but
when one commences to investigate it does not
not take long to become convinced Of the fact
that the statement is entirely without founda-
ton. For instance, have often heard it said
land the saying was embellished with no small
amount of positiveness) that Junius Brutus
Booth, the father of Edwin Booth, was He
brew. It is an absolute fact that he was q
thorough Hebrew scholar. He had received an
excellent classical education, and not only read
the Talmud, bnt strictly adhered to some of its
laws. He loved to frequent synagogues and
converse with rabbis and learned doctors in the
sacred tongue He even Joined them in their
worship, and some years ago, while on pro-
fessional visit to New Orleans, was informed
that during one of his spells Of inebriety he had
fallen on his knees on the sidewalk and boldly
Aain,lh, Adonai Eehod."
On September II, 1922, during his autumn
engagement at Covent Garden, London, in
imitation of the attempt of foreign actor, he
essayed the role of Shylock, playing it in the
Jewish dialect. 1t is even said that he inter
polated many Hebrew phrases, and occasion
ally spoke entire scenes in the language. When
he purchased ''The Farm" as his country resi-.
dence near Belair, Maryland, was called, he
fenced in little graveyard, where the Jewish
althea bushes had their place among the yewi
and weeping willows. In the face of all this
CuAulnCAVO 0siuOAOo OA0 AnCuAohy 40 'Ou w w
ieve that there must have been Jewish blood
in his veins. But then Mr. Booth was as ia
milar with the Koran as with the Talmud, and
visited the cathedral of the Catholic as often a
he did the synagogue of the Jew, and SO an
inclined to think that the statement as to tina
brilliant actors Jewish origin is apocryphal
to say the least.
The Wallacks have also often been quoted a
being of Hebraic origin. William Wallack, tn
progenitor of the well-known theatrical family

the upper 81. In 1896 he appeared in the opera
on Mahmoud at Drury Lane and then visited
the principal italian cities. In 1901 he return
ed to Convent Garden, where his success was
triumphant He was also composer, and
wrote numerous songs, besides Incidental mu-
sic to large number of dramas. It is singu-
Lar circumstance that few years later, in 1909,
the management of this same theatre engaged
large numbers of Jewish pugilists, headed by
Mendoza, to qusll the famous 20. Pr riots.
The house had been rebuilt, and on reopening,
the price of seats was increased. The British
public resented the managers temerity by
bowling, kissing and shouting, and demanded
that they be admitted at the old price. The
riots lasted for fifty nights, and when the He
brew fighters were admitted to the boxes they
had always previously been confined to the
pity there was no end of derisive hooting. It is
needless to cay, the managers were victorious,
and the O. P'.s did not prevail.
Eliza Rachel Felix Rachel, the daughter of
the Jewish peddler, was born in NUM-, Switzer-
land, in 1920. In 1881 the family moved to
Paris, where Sarah, an elder sister, used to
sing at the various cafes to the accompaniment
of an old guitar, while Rachel went from table
to table to collect the offerings of the spectators
In 1888 she made her debut az an actress, and
! in 1888 made decided hit as Camille in Cor
neille's "Les Horaces." Her fame eliminated
in 1s43 in Raciene's tradgedy of "Phedre." In
1948 her public recital Of the Marseilles Hymn
created perfect furore, and her name will al
ways be connected with the history Of that try
ing period. She visited with equal success
England, Russia and America, but while in
this country her health failed and she returned
to France utterly Frustrated. On January 3,
1853, she died at Cannes, after having amassed
fortune. 1t is said of her that she was con-
slant in her home affections, and freely shared
her prosperity wit b her family.
Adah Isaacs Menken was born on June 18th,
1885, under the scorching sun of Louisiana. Her
real name was Adelaide McCord. At four
teen she was first seen as danseuse in New
Orleans. In 1856 she married Alexander Isaacs

FEELINGS DURING A FALL.
A savant in Switzerland Claims They
Are Very Enjoyable.

Are Very Enjoyable.
Prof. Helm, of Zurich, supplies the
scientific press with an article upon
falls. According TO him, the man who
falls from tremendous height has the
most enjoyable time imaginable-tll he
stops. II he could fall forever It would
be better than paradise. He suffers no
pain, he is not frozen with terror, as is
commonly supposed, yet he is perfectly
aware Of what is happening.
Timc seems to pass very slowly as he
goes down, and he thinks of many sub
jects There are pleasant sounds in his
ears-probably caused by the whizzing
of the air az he goes by. He knows per-
fectly well that there will presently be
a tremendous thud and violent pause,
but he regards the prospect with abso-
lutte composurc, and rather looks at 1T
from an outside standpoint, as II 1t
were some one else who was going to
come down with that thud, and that he
was going TO stand by and see the fun.
When the stoppage does come he
knows nothing about it. 1t is beau
tiful death-to die by rushing down
from great height. The patient seems
to be n comet, or a meteor, flying
athwart the blue sky, and then he sinks
into oblivion, as If he had fallen into n
sea of clloroform and roses, and IL the
fall Is long enough he never knows any
thing more, and nothing worries him
again to NIL eternity.
