children that played an important partin
bringing the plays to happy end.
Every one is familiar with the stage
child that ruSlies on the stage III a pic
turesque nightgown jast as papa and
mamma are having a terrible scene OF
denuuciation. This child comes between
them, and asks them what is the matter,
and then both the parents break down and
send their offspring off to bed again. We
had this in the Bankers Daughter" and
we have had it ever since in the theatrical
season,
Doubtless the greatest surge Of stage
children that ever swept over the Country.
andtt amounted almost to an epidemic, vas
that Of Little Lord FaUntleroy-" That
was about ten years ago. In almost every
city OF the tnfon this celebrated comedy
drama of Mrs Burnett was produced for
many weeks: and Elsie Leslie, Tommy Rus
sell, Wally Edinger, Ray MaSkel, Olive
Holman. and half a dozen other bright
young ones made both fame and fortune
through their acting OF the title part.
Augustine Daly recognized the CONNER
ciat value of having good child actress
always Oh hand. aud So a number OF years
ago he en- gagged little Bijou Fernandez for
that purpose. and not only undertook her
stage training. but also sent her to Il fash
ionabIe private school in New York and
took general charge of her bringing up"
Maurice Barrymore Thought he recognized
the attractiveuess OF children on the stage,
and in Roaring Dick * Co" he had no
less than 200 girls and boys appear in one

ously noted hitherto that plays in which
the characters of children play an import
ant part have made some of the largest for
tunes for managers. OF course, the great
roTerunIier OF all plays of the last fifty
years, that has caused people to weep copi-
ously, because OF the pathCs of the child
heroine, is Uncle Toms Cabin" Millions,
if one is to go from year to year, have
sobbed as though their hearts would break
when little Eva prepared to leave her
earthly surroundings. And there are many
actresses, even today posing as ingenous
that were among the original players of
this part. East Lynne" is another stand
ard play in which child has the best scene
in the piece.
The greatest success that the late Lester
Walack ever had was "RosedaIe," and
the most intense interest in that drama
springs out of the theft of Child by
gypsies. In the now-out-of-datc play OF
"Pique, by Augustin Daily, John Drew used
to have to hunt all around to recapture a
child In the silver King" The Burg

The most recent case in point, however,
of the roles ofchildren making distinguished
successes is in the case of Two Little Va
grants"
The TWO Little Migrants that are the
cause OF the title Of this play are young
ragamuffins, adept at pocket-picking and
other petty criminal devices, who have
been reared in an atmosphere Of crime,
but who, IN spite of their failings, are
noble-hcarted little boys, struggling TO
break away from their evil environment.
Bessie Busley and Minnie Dupree are the
actresses that play these characters, AMI
according to various reports they act
them with a fervor and boyishncss that
is absolutely unique. Miss Busley and Miss
Dupree are not children, as was the case
with the players of Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" and the realism with which they
interpret the parts OF the two hoys should
be considered, therefore, as all The more
remarkable.
