WE'RE HURT-ARE AMERICAN
PLAY-GOERS REALLY TICKLE?
-CALVE GETS IN ANOTHER TAN
DREM, AND GUILBERT SAYS
WHAT SHE THINKS OF US.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Next week good resolution will be in
order. Like the balance of mankind,
the actors will succumb TO the usual
custom. Here are some of the good res
olutions that have already come to
hand.
Oscar Hammerstein: 81 have decided
never again TO import French artist
for so small a sum as $4,000 month.
1t isn't fair to the artist. In the case
of Yvette Guilbert her success has
proved so great that feel quite con-
science-stricken that she does not enjoy
larger share Of the box office receipts.
Ny New Years gift to Nile. Guilbert
will be a couple OF Brooklyn Bridge
tickets. She says that the fame of
Brooklyn has extended all the way to
France, and she wants to see the city
that claims New York as its most in
teresting suburb
Wilton Lackaye: Il have resolved
to try my hardest not TO convince my
self that am really not the second best
actor on earth. | always did hate play
ing second fiddle"
Cissy Fitzgerald: 81 have resolved
during the coming year never TO kick
any higher than the top of the chan
delier and never again to drop an h.
'ope l may succeed"
M Irwin: I have sworn solemn
oath TO ny and grow a iittle less din.
Nat Goodwin: 4 am going to try Ind
be funns fot living once again. md
leave the serious legitimate &c some OF
those heavyweight English tragedisna
that l saw playing in The shop G.rl
the other night.
Lillian Russell: Il am going TO Try
my hardest to abstain from new hus-
band all through this coming year.
Henry Irving: II am going 10 take
elocution lessons, so that when l next
play Macbeth in New York the audi
ence will be able to understand me
without the assistance of libretto.
George Cayvan: Il am going to try
and keep myself from saying that since
l have left it the Lyceum stock COM
pany is the greatest organization on
earth"
Yvette Guilbert: 81 am going to try
and stop shocking people by my
naughty songs
Jennie Yeamans: Il have resolved
never again to look day over 3d."
Marie Jansen: Il am going to try TO
be good"
THE LOVING CUP MANIA.
The loving cup craze is rife among
the actors just now. Nat Goodwin was
the last actor to receive one. The
/ Lams gave IL to him. and managed to
say all sorts of nice things about him
at the same time. It's bad business,
though this loving cup craze. Until
the actors presented Joe Jefferson with
a loving cup, | had always labored
under the delusion that he was the most
benign and charminug of old men.
! Personally, I am still of that opinion.
| But, to judge from some of the re-
marks which | have heard made about
him since by some of the very actors
who were most conspicuous at the pre-
sentation, you would really think that
/ poor old Jefferson was the meanest
man.
CLARA MORRIS CUT UP.
don't know when / have felt so sorry
for a woman as | did for Clara Morris
the day after Olga Nethersole played
Camille" at the Empire. Miss Morris
was playing at the Grand Opera House
| that week, and it CHANGED that both
actresses announced Camille" for Mon
day nights performance. The next
| day Miss Morris received a paragraph.
| Miss Nethersole half a column in all
the leading papers. And this in spite
of the fact that she had played Ca
mile" here before. Miss Morris was
broken hearted, but 1t was not until
an evening paper came out with COM
parison of the two performances that
Miss Morris really b. IKE down. In this
article, Miss Morris work was heart
lessly stated, while Miss Nethersole's
was extolled to the skies.
