KelIar and De Wolf Hopper.

A good story came to light the other
day In which Magician Kellar and De
Wolf Hopper figure as principals. When
Eel Captain" was in course of prepara-
ton, Hopper determined that he must
have a real magician's trick to intro
duce in his act wherein he mystiiies the
king. He went to Kelfar and was shown
n wonderfully mysterious cabinet, or
cage. in which men and women were
made to disappear so completely and so
instantaneously that the spectators
couldn't see 'em 60 Kellar showed
him the working ofethe cabinet, as to
its mechanical features, but still Hopper
couldn't fathom the thing.
It's good trick" said he, "but I
don't want to take anything you are
using yourself. Give me any old thing.
Something that you've thrown away
years ago II do as well as this one"
Il haven't used this for three or four
years" replied the wizard, and thought
it would be a good one for you. 1t
won't cost you a cent"
The mysterious cage was duly dellv-
cred to Mr.. Hopper but after month.
when lei Captain was produced, Mr..
Kellar learned that the trick wasn't
used. When he saw Hopper. he inquir-
ed as to the reason. why, you see."
said the comedian, "the fact is that be-
fore / got home forgot how to do the
blamed thing. and for the life of me I
couldn't get into the cage. / worked a
week on 1t and gave it up. Say, rve

Tho latter, who weighs the usual 500

was playing at the New York Casino.
Miss Peters boarded a cable car on

amount of experience in single sea-
son. No play ever has run in these
houses. The new piece must go on as
regularly as Monday comes around. In
the very large stock companies, like
those, for instance, which are connect
ed with the Lyceum and Empire thea
tiers of this city, the same conditions
do not prevail. Their ranks are re-
cruited from among the actors who
have made their regulations and whose
names have a market value. 1t Is prac-
tically impossible for beginner to get
into one of these, and although they
are all anxious to do so, it is fact
that they would be better off, from the
standpoint of opportunity to acquire
experience, in one of the smaller and
less pretentous and, 1t must also he
admitted, less meritorious organza-
tons. This may sound odd, but 1t is
true. for in little company, as I have
explained. you must get up in your
new part each week. whereas in the
Empire and Lyceum one play frequent
ly runs through the greater portion of
n season. You would, therefore, be no
better off with them than with an or
binary combination. except for the
added care which is given to the pro-
duction and rehearsal of plays Mt these
two prominent New York playhouses
1t must not be supposed from what
have said that 1t is an easy matter to
get into one of the out of town stock
companies, for 1T is not. But there is

tion left. True, only small places nre
visited. but experience can be obtained

gested until sou happen to run across

rily have played wide range of parts
and If your performances had been
good. there should be no difficulty in
finding employment in any of the sew

to the remedy. The beginner is prone
to say that while 1t was possible some

for the very excellent reason that there
are practically none of them in exist
