BEFORE THE FOOTLIGHTS

Thomas keene should be, and undoubt-
edly will be, warmly welcomed here on his
coming visit to the Los Angeles theater.
In an age addicted to burlesque anu 1aree
comedy, the loyalty of Mr.. Keene to the
best traditions of histrionics is in every
way commendable. The eminent actor
essays such noble parts as S!ylock, Ham,
let, Louis NJ, Richard III and Richelieu,
and thus keeps alive in the memory OF the
younger generation of play-goers the noble
ideals which charmed and elevated their
fathers. That Mr.. Keene is not blind
follower of stage traditions is much to his
credit, for it must be acknowledged. in
spite of some who decry all that is in the
present and praise only that which belongs
to the past, that there were some things to
be mended in even the methods of Forrest
and Macready. Mr.. Keene has been a
careful student of historical subjects and
he had made such changes in all his plays
as seemed to him to bring the situations
and the stage business nearer to the his
toric truth. AS the authorities have shown
him his heroes, SO has he depicted them.
He has mounted his plays with the same
The herald., 1896-02-23

purpose and has had his costumes made
according to the best authorities on the
subject so that his company shall wear
only such dress as would have been worn
by the persons they represent. The stage
accessories are built with the same pur-
pose. One of Mr.. Keene's stage produc-
tions thus becomes an historical object
lesson.
While it is not the primary purpose of
the stage thus to instruct, it is nevertheless
the duty of an earnest director, believing
in the mission of his profession to hold the
mirror up to nature, not to permit the
motley and bedraggled misrepresentation
of the times they treat, such as are too
often given by even stars of high rank, to
disgrace the stage and belle the past. Mr..
Keene will play Louis ri here on Wednes-
day night, and Richard III on Thursday
night.
a "Gallery God'' writes to yesterday e
Times, criticising the criticism of King
Lear which appeared in The HERALD. The

ignorance. He maintains that Henry Nor
vii made "a dismal failure" of the role.
The British public and the critics certainly
did not agree with G. G., for King Lear was
pronounced one of Norvil's most notable
achievements. The tragedy has also been
several times revived at the Lyceum with
into the pit over the word 'decade." THE
HERALD simply said that no actor had
essayed the part during the last ten years,
but was quite aware of Booths, McCul-
lough's and Sheridan's impersonations
previous to that. Go to, "Gallery God"

lighted at the opportunity offered her to as
sist the news and working boys of this city
in securing their much needed home. Her
character of a metropolitan street gamin,
suffering from hunger and cold, has made
her think more seriously of the actual pri.
vations endured by these destitute little
ones, and when told of the proposed bene-
fit and its object the little tot fairly danced
with joy. "Oh, that's SO good" she said.
"Maybs we can get a lot of money for
their home, and if we don't, perhaps some
of the rich men will give them enough
money to make up the balance. If the
newsboys come to the matinee l will plav
Toodles jus. as hard as i can for them. 1t
will be just lovely when the little fellows
have home" There seems to be con-
certed action throughout the city to make
the forthcoming benefit success.

retiring, domesticated man, given much to
reading in the sleepy-hollow chair of his
well-selected library.
In no play is Mr.. Keene's marvellous at
tention to detail and accuracy more dis
tinctIy seen than in Louis NJ. French his
tory, and Scott's Quentin Durward, from
which the play has been dramatized, have
been closely followed, but the French play
has been strongly REINFORCED by new
scenes and situations written expressly
for Mr.. keene. Th3 story is one of alb
his closing days, still fighting tho giant
power of the feudal barons, and hanging
his people by the highways to encourage
the others. No character on the stage de-
mands more from actors than Louis. Fee
BILE, but dominating, superstitious, cring-
ing with fear, treacherous to all, forever
pursuing the phantoms of his hatred, cow
ering at every moment at the thought of
death, Keene is a picture in every scene,
which we have never known excelled.

Los ANGELES.--There can be but little
doubt that Paul M. Potter's dramatization
of Du Maurier's famous novel Trilby is the
cleverest of this age. Outside of the fact
that the book is deeply interesting and is
being discussed by all, the controversies

and nothing is lost in the dramati1ation.

some vague, distant manner constantly re-
minded him of Trilby, although she was
such great and fashionable lady.
But just such darlings, old or young were
to be found, with still higher ideals, in less
exalted spheres, and were easier of access,
with no impossible gulf spheres,
where there was no patronizing, nothing
but Difference and warm appreciation and
delicate tiattery from men and women
alike-and where the aged venuses, whose
prime was of the days of Waterloo, went
with their historical remains duly shrouded
like ivy-mantled ruins.
Trilby was just such a creature of her
time, that the very recital of her simple,
curious life is all-inspiring and full of gen.
uine excitement. With Mr.. A. M. Palm

van, ex-champion pugilist, is in the city on
. farewell tour. He will make two appear
ances in public, and it is safe to say that
he will be given rousing reception at each
appearance. Sullivan has made several
fortunes in his day and squandered them
on the parasites which clung to him as long
o. he had dollar to spend. His dollars
are gone, and.the parasites are gone, but
his friends remain, and they are many.
For twelve years John L. Sullivan held
the championship of the world against all
oorners. For twelve years he went about
the country, not begging for a big purse to
be put up, but offering $1,000 to any man
who would last four rounds with him. He

was one which many condemn, but there

For Sullivan was not alone a fighter such
as the world has seldom seen, but he fought
for glory, and not for filthy lucre ,and fought
like man. The money which he earned he
gave away, but for twelve years he lived
like q prince, and then met defeat at the
hands of a man who had the good fortune
to win the title of championship, but who
apparently lacked the courage to defend
it. and gave it away to a foreigner. With
defeat in the ring, Sullivan was changed

changed. until the ring fighter became

arena, and become quiet business man,

many years of success. While he was
champion. prize-1ghting was a profession,
in which only men of iron dared to ven
ture. Now it is burlesque, in which the
man with the strongest jaw comes out
ahead. With the retirement of John L.
Sullivan, ring fighting should be wiped out
Of existence, for with him disappears the
only genuine fighter of modern times.
He will be seen in a boxing exhibition
with Paddy Ryan at the Los Angeles thea

Los ANGELES THEATER-Thomas Keene,
the eminent tragedian, who is strong
favorite throughout the country and who
has just closed highly successful engage
ment of two weeks in San Francisco, will
appear at the Los Angeles theater next
Wednesday and Thursday nights in two of
his greatest and best known characters,
Louis ri on Wednesday and Richard III
on Thursday.
In the repertoire of this distinguished
actor Delavigno's play of Louis XI may be
regarded as a companion picture to
Richard Ill. Both are strongly marked by
peculiarities of character, and as charac-
ter actor Mr.. Keene perhaps has no rival.
But few stars of eminence have added
Louis XI to their list with pronounced sue
cess, but with Mr.. Keene it has not only
been one of his noted triumphs, but has
been endorsed by the press as one of the
most brilliant of his impersonations.
During the last season, when Mr.. Keene
covered nearly 1900 miles of travel,
Louis NJ became popular demand with
managers. 1t has come to rank with his
Richard, and artistically with Richelieu
and Shylock.
Mr.. Keene has not reached his present
The herald., 1896-02-23

position as the recognized leader of the
American stage, without labor and the in
cidental crosses which mark a successful
career. Some, who were not the most fav-
Orable to the efforts of Keene's earlier
starring years, have been won over grace
fully to his support. In his refined
methods of later years. these gentlemen
admit that he has deservedly won the
proud position which he now holds. Few

stage heroine she is effervescent in way
that bespeaks the innocent vulgarity of
the period in which she lives. She is sur
rounded with an atmosphere of refine
ment for the while which deftly
touches on the extraordinary doings OF
the people among whom she dwells. And

A Unique Enterprise.

A striking illustration Of the great
undertakings Of this age is TO be found
in the work alumber company is quietly
carrying en- i'll the southern part of
Georgia. The ultimate idea Of the COM
pany is nothing less than the drainage
and redemption for farming purposes of
the whole bed of the great Okefinokee
swamp. 1t covers many thousand
square miles. Its soil is a vegetable
mold Of great depth. When drained and
brought under cultivation, it will give
homes and farms to more than 100, 900
people.
AT present Okefinokee swamp is the
most wonderful gaming ground i'll North
America. A correspondent of The
Globe-D Democrat says you can bag any
thing you wart in it, from an alligator
to a humming bird. The drainage will
be easy, as the great swamp is 1O2 feet
above st. Mary's river, into which it
empties.
Before the draining can be accom-
plished, however, the timber must be
cut away. and that is the part of the
task now engaging the com pany's at
tention. No horse or OK power could
drag the hugo cypress logs across the
swamp to the sawmills. Floating en-
gines are affixed firmly upon ~tugboats
that steam along canals. From the en-
Yine chains are stretched a milo away
and hooked around the leg that is to be
brought in. Then the engine is set to
work turning the steam windlass, and
through the mud the log is dragged to
its destinations.

She was not unlike the learned medical
scientists of the present day.
If there is one thing that can make
them blissfuily happy. it is the discovery
of a new disease. They sit up nights
hunting for it. They search under the
microscope day by day. year by year. for
some deadly new microbe that is hostile
to the human race. And when the mi
crobe or the disease is found, they hire q
hall and read papers about it, and cele-
brate it in victorious banquetings and
feastings. If we are to judge from ap-
pearances, q learned medical expert
would rather discover a new disease
than eat a good dinner any day. Only
second to the joy Of its discovery is the
pleasure he takes in giving it a long
and hard Greek or Latin name.

doctor and also makes the most of his

for the human race when it found out
it had 0 liver or that its health was

Almost as bad was it when people be-
gan to find out they had such an organ
as the yermiform appendix. Now we go
through the world with our hand upon

of liver and in daily terror lest we curl

If we thought as much about the good
