JOHN DREW'S VOGUE

No better example of the substantial
influence of the matinee girl can be
cited than the career of John Drew.
His run in New York this winter has
been something extraordinary A great
deal has been said of the important
metropolitan engagements of Neither
sole. l3ernhardt Duse, Rehan and
others. But John Drew, without any
apparent ellort or special bid for pop
ularity, has a record that beats any
one Of them many times over. He has
appeared at SO many different theatres
that one scarcely realizes that he has
been playing perpetually in New York
for a good six months. Choosing So
ciety plays of more or less light and
f1imsy character, and making no claims
to greatness, he nevertheless seems to
be the only actor that can go on play
ing month after month in New York to
full houses. 1t is one of those mex
phcable things incapable of analysis,
and the reason for it can be found only
in maiiens' hearts and matinee girls
affections

ADORE THE. ACTOR NOT THE MAN
1t is sometimes difficult to separate

ending times to see him. But While he
reigned alone as the hero of her youth
full day dreams, she stoutly maintained
that Mansfield had nothing to do with
it.
1t is melancholy fact that when
actors of certain special types become
passe with the matinee girl, their hal
cyon days are over, and they are rele-
gated to less important roles-the
quondam lover becomes friend, rival
or cou1lselor-With a corresponding de-
pletion in their eXchequers. There are
several such declasse actors in all our
large cities. Men who play with much
more Intelligence and greater refine
their parts as perfectly; but their hey
day with the matinee girl being over,
they become at once of less value to
managers.
Let he young adored Sothern as
sumo what role he will, and his man
ayers can safely count upon three full

with a touch of the heroic, Sothern
possesses in addition that nameless
something that ensnares tender femi-
nine enttusiasms. l suppose there
could he no estimating the number of
pretty dressing tables in this great re-
public that his photograph adorns, and
a peep into his own charming suite in
New York, which he occupies with his
brother, would still further endear him
to his enthusiastic feminine admirers.
Here we find him ensconced in apart
ments furnished with all the dainti-
ness, refinement and exquisite taste OF
the most aesthetical minded young
woman.

REGULATING SALARIES.

Indeed, women as whole constitute
the potent factor in determining the
popularity of matters theatrical 1t is
she alone who casts the deciding vote,
and actor or actress who has lost prest-
ige with women q have in mind GER
tain actress now will soon be playing
to empty houses. No matter how en-
rapturtsd a man may be with an
actress, he takes his wife where she
wishes to go 1t is always the mother
who decides where the daughter shall
be taken, and in the case of theatre
parties the choice of plays invariably
rests with ladies.
Women do not by any means confine
their hero worship to Romeos, Sieg
frieds and Rudolphs, but include in it
as we'll the Juliets, Rosahnds and Mar
guerites, and are often quite as gen
erous with notes and flowers to some
feminine idol as to their noble ideals
of marty beauty and perfection. Mrs.
Kendall owes her vogue in America
largely to the enthusiastic admiration
of women, and men have not been
more strenuous than women in laying
laurels at the feet of Duse.

John Drew Leads as Matinee
Favorite With Hackett and Rich

Many clever and witty remarks have
been lightly made at the expense of
the matinee girl with her fads and
fancies, heroes and hero worship, her
reckless extravaganza in photographs,
flowers and adjectives; but all the
same ghe experienced manager knows
that NO business venture is so safe for
him as; contract with one of the
reignirlg idols of feminine fancy. The
rising actor also is not long in discoy-
ering that there is a singularly obvious
relation between the extent of his sal
airy arid his powers OF charming the
fair sex; and that if he desires to hear
the pleasing drip of the shekels, he
must make for himself a secure strong
hold in the hearts of romantic maidens
In point of fact. the matinee girl cuts
d decidedly more important figure in
the Sh1eWd world of finance than in the
picturesque realm of romance
