CULTIVATE THE FACE.
An Old Piaygocrs Advice To Young A.
pirants For Dramatic Honors.


"I'll tell you the true test OF "a great 40.
tor, said the old playgoer in the rear seat
as the curtain went down, 1.-THE only
test all others being spurious and I'M
worthy of consideration-it is the mobility
of face. Take comedians as an example.
jefferson, Florence and Boucicault were
so thoroughly enjoyable because they acted
more with ;heir faces than with their
hands. JEFF srson's face is never the same
two minutes in succession, and the variety
of its expressions is infinite. He has face
for Rip Van Wrinkle, another for Acres,
another for Lend Me Five Shillings, each
with an endless variety of delicate shad.
ings He insists on having the lights in
the auditorium high, because they illumi.
nate his face My comedy Is altogether
facial, he said one time to the manager OF
a thoater who insisted on turning the gas
down during the acting on the stage, and
If the audience does not get distinct view
of my face my performance is spoiled
"'This accounts for the success of Sol
Smith Russell and the fact that he is soon
to become fixture in the constellation OF
standard comedians, the legitimate success
sor of jefferson. A host of young actors
is aspiring to the legitimate, and they art
PuINitu why NhV Pu'AiS Nooo hCp Woho "
accept them in legitimate roles. The reason
is simple They haven't the face. Their
comedy is in their feet or anywhere, in
fact, save in the great mirror of the soul,
the face If were to give young actor
the best advice that could be given him, ]
would tell him to desist from the cultiva.
ton of his voice and gestures-everything
in fact, but the cultivation of his face
would tell him TO spend hours before a
mirror every day and rehearse facial ex-
preston. If once the muscles are in perfect
training and act responsibility TO the finest
shading of thought and the slightest emo.
ton of the breast then man has mas.
tered the conquering principle of the stage,
and not until he has done that need he
hope to acquire permanent place In dra-
matte art.
1--WE first take notice Of the face on being
introduced to stranger. We may laugh
at the crook in his knees or admire the
aristocracy of his legs, but even IA bunch
back can overcome our repugnance by the
strength of his facial lines. The nearer To
mediocrity that an actor approaches the
more he moves about He has To hold the
interest by occupying as much of the pub
lie eye as he can. Great actors are content
to take the smallest space they can fill, re.
lying on their faces to interest the audi.
ence. A good face is better than the best
makeup. Washington Post.

THE TELEGRAPH HABIT.
It's Strong Hold on It's Victims, Especially
Theatrical Managers.

1t is said that some old fashioned people
still tremble when they see telegraph
messenger ut the door, feeling that it is in
the highest degree improbable that any
body would think of using the wires on
any occasion less important than death.
They would be deeply shocked if they
could be made to understand what "A ter.
rible hold the telegraph habit obtains on
some of its victims in the large cities. 1t
Is especially prevalent among theatrical
people. They will telegraph congratula
tions and condolences from one end of the
world to the other when letter with u 2
or cent stamp weuld answer every pur.
pose quite as well and no doubt often bet.
ter Perhaps one reason why they like II
is that il is more irresponsible mode OF
communication than writing Often and
often the question has arisen, and often
and often it will arise again, whether a
contract made by telegraph is binding. 1t
may be remarked In passing that IL Is.
1t Is said that one manager In New York
never passes IA telegraph Office without
sending dispatch. If he passes six offices
in the course of single walk, he sends
six dispatches. There Is another promi-
nent manager who walks from his home TO
his office, n considerable distance, every
morning for the sake of exercise. As he
goes along nc exercises his mind as well ms
his body and thinks of many brilliant
schemes of an artistic or u business ma.
ture. He carries no notebook, but de.
ponds on the telegraph offices instead
Whenever he has n happy thought he goes
into the nearest Office and telegraphs il Ia
himself. Then he walks on till he thinks
of something else and SO whom he reaches
his desk there are all the dispatches piled
up before him ready TO be acted on or filed

Relatives of the people killed and
maimed by the trolley cars in Brooklyn
have brought suits for damages aggregat-
ing half million dollars. The officials
of these roads have ordered their cars run
at a speed that was unlawful and con-
slant menace. They have required their
employees to work long hours and under
the stress occasioned by the high rate of
speed they were obliged to maintain
through the crowded streets of the city.
They have been favored with decision On
this matter by certain judge whose con-
clusion is that notwithstanding the ten
hour law they could require any hours of
their employees provided that when they
hired them the time of working was
stipulated in the contract. They have
carried so high hand and shown such
utter disregard of law and public welfare
that the mayor of the city has threatened
to have them brought before the grand
Jury. One wonders at the capacity the
people In these great cities have for swal-
lowing insults and covering under abuse
before they get up sufficient courage to
assert their rights.

right, Great Britain had no insidious de

very purpose which Great Britain had iD

pretensions to dominion, and the adop-

be relief to that amiable gentleman just
