little boy and therefore may Justly claim
to be an American. He certainly possesses
the native faculty for humor. He Is as
droll as any comedian on the stage and Is
besides an excellent dancer and not at all
q bad singer, though not q conspicuously
good one. STILL as he always appears in
entertainments which do not require the
vocal ability Of De Reszke or a Lasalle,
this comparative shortcoming is of little
material consequence. In fact, for some
time to come, Mr.. Herbert Is not likely TO
require his singing voice at all, inasmuch
as he has recently signed contract where
by he Is to become a member of Augustin
Daly's famous stock company.
As "A playwright Mr.. Herbert has never
made q pronounced failure. He Is re-
sponsible for that phenomenal success,
1.-THE Geezer," which enjoyed run of
several months in New York and which
has been heightened and will be sent on
the road in the fall He also wrote Gun
der the Red Globe, "The Birth Of Ve-
nus, "Thrilby" and a number of other
well known pieces Of farcical or satirical
nature. Herbert is particularly valuable
IN this line of effort owing TO bis unique
conception Of stage business and his faculty
for writing pungent dialogue Of the in
gems of versiflcatiop, and are perhaps very
much less meritorious than the.other por-
tions of his work, but they are so infinite
ly superior to much of the stuff offered in
burlesques that they actually seem to shine
by contrast.
The story OF Herbert's career as an actor
Is an interesting one and serves TO show
that the road To eminence behind the foot
lights Is always n slow and tedious one
Here it is in his own language:
While at the Jesuit college in Chicago
became n member of the Chicago Church
Choir company, singing In the chorus
One of our performances was Gilbert and
Sullivans "Iolanthe," and the profes-
sional cast for the Lord Chancellor failed
to put in an appearance. / was asked TO
take the part, my inpersonation was seen
by @. ID. Hess, and that was the beginning
Of my professional career. Mr.. Hess en-
gagged me for stock company at Chicago,
where remained for another year, leav-
ing to come east in the summer of 1885. l
then replaced Roland Reed as Koko in
1.-THE Mikado," and while playing an en-
gagement at Philadelphia D'Oyley Carte
saw the performance and tried TO secure
me for his company, but had signed al
ready for tho next season with Edward f.
Rice. AT my request Mr.. Rice sublet me
to Mr.. Carte, with whom i remained for
two seasons. Then l appeared under Mr.
Rice's management, In 1.-The Pearl of
Pekin," after which was for two years
member of the Conried Opera company
A return to Mr.. Carto's forces followed in
"The Gondoliers. Then came two sea
sons in "Miss Hclyett, with j. M. Hill in
"The Algerian;" in the notable "Mikado"

"Rob Roy" and then TWO seasons with
Abbey, SchoeiIel a. Grau In the Lillian
Russell company. During the past season
have remained in New York, appearing
in Lost, Strayed or Stolen" and as the
restless Auguste in 1.-The Girl From

for which he has been refused a patent,

from nothing at all. The Chicago expert

seryauce.

! To the Editor Of The News:
Although there seems TO be temporary
! lull in the newspaper discussion OF the sun
day question in Providence, IL is, 1 think.
stll open TO debate, and L would like tho
privilege of giving TO the public, through
your peoples column. the benefit OF an nd
dress by Richard Henry Dana. He delivered
10 here several years ago at dinner of the
Churchmen's Club Of Rhode Island at the
Trocadero.
The address was not published i'm full by
the newspapers at that time, but was so for
tunste as TO secure the manuscript.
First, let me say one word about Mr.. Dana
himself, for his biography is interesting as
his views on the Sunday question are ad'
mirable. He Is descendant OF the original
Richard Dana in this country and comes
from the same stock "a Charles Anderson
Dana Of the Now York sun.
The next in line from the first Richard was
Daniel Dana. and his son was Judge Richard
Dana. the Massachusetts, magistrate who on
the 18th Of December, l765, summoned An
drew Oliver an officer in the kings service,
and caused him TO take oath that he would
do nothing 20 enforce the obnoxious stamp
act.
The next in direct line OF descent was Rich
ard Horny Dana, one of the founders Of the
North American Review His son was Rich
ard Henry Dana. Jr., the author of 1.-TWO
Years Before the Mast" and the one who
had the bitter political contest. with Benjamin
+. Butler for Congress.
His son was the third Richard Henry Dana.
who delivered the following address. There
is no puritanical nonsense about him. He be-
lieves in Sunday and he believes in recrea
tion. While at Harvard he was stroke and
captain of the crew. He married daughter
of Longfellow and is well known lawyer
and scholar The Australian ballot law Of
Massachusetts, the first TO be adopted in this
country. was drawn by him.
But here is what he thinks about Sunday:

the New Testament, Sunday is not day of
prohibitions but one Of large opportunity.
