OF BOOTH.
John Griffith Gives Some Remin-
iscences of the Actor.
AMERICAN TRAGEDY DIED WITH HIM.

Booth Claimed That the Public Didn't
Know Good Acting when it saw 1T.
While John Griffith, who played in
Faust at the Grand last night, is COM
paratively young man and this is the
first starring part he has ever played, he
has held positions in some good COM
panies. For considerable time he was
with Booth, and was afterwards with
Keene.
There is the most over estimated man
on any STAGE" said he, speaking of
Keene. 81 used to play with him, and
thought honestly that he was great |
have since found out my error. Keene
is a ranter, a barn stormer. He is con-
sidered SO among the profession and
among the critics. He has wonderful
hold on the people in the west, but has
no following in the east at all. They
laugh at him there.
s'Since Booth died we have had no
great tragedian in America. Not one
great tragedian. With Booth, really good
native tragedy left America; And yet
before Booth died he was in his decline
and knew ii. He went off the stage be-
cause he knew he was losing his power
as an actor, not because he was losing
his power as house packer.
E'Ah. Booth was an actor He could do
more with one slight gesture of that left
hand of his than many an actor posing
as great could do with ali his voice and
body.
I'm speaking of the public and actors
once, Booth said to me- 'My boy, the
public is ignorant 1t doesn't know act
ing and it never will. 1t takes a young
man to act From twenty to thirty tive's
the age. When l was young and full of
fire, and could act, put my whole soul
into my part, and people said 1 ranted
and would never be an actor. When [
became old and learned the tricks of
the hand and eye to aid my voice, be-
cause had no longer the fire to put pas
sion in my work, l used them, and the
public applauding, said it was finish,
and called me great. Nobody came to
see me when I was young and could act,
but after got old and gave them TRICKS
in the place of it l never failed to pack
house
Booth was one of the kindest of men,
and l learned more in the short time j
was with him than I ever learned out

MIGHT REYERSEDIT.
Judge Hazen's Boy in Police Court for
Playing With Powder.

Charles Simmons and Lyndon Hazen
were arrested by the police yesterday on
the charge of disturbing the peace.
Young Hazen is a son of Judge Hazen,
of the district court, and lives on East
Fifth street He and Simmons had tin
can and some powder, and were blowing
the can into the air to see how high it
would go. 1t was considered dangerous
to the passers- by and the boys were ar
rested. They did not have to go to Jail.
In the police court this morning the
boys were tried together. The evidence
was not very conclusive and the judge
dismissed them.
Judge Ferry has been accused of being
afraid to fine the boys for fear the case
would be appealed and the decision re-
versed in the district court, but of course,
that is a joke.
