Coming Attractions

THE BURBANK.-(Advance Announce
ment) High class plays, presented by q
company in every respect competent to por
tray the roles assigned its members, are
promised in the engagement of the Hen
derson company, beginning next Tuesday
evening and lasting two weeks, at the Bur
bank theater. The organization is under
the direction of David Henderson, whose
reputation as a play producer is second to
none in this country
The characteristics which have estab
lished David Henderson in popular favor as
manager are most conspicuous in the
work OF his present organization, gathered
together by him for the Great Northern
theater Chicago, last season, when that
house was under his management 1t
played in that theater for a period of over
six months. Every piece presented was
staged in manner fully equal to that seen
in the best playhouses of New York city.
At the conclusion of the season in Chicago
the company was taken on tour, and is now
presenting the plays which were most sue
cessful with the critics and the public OF
that city. In Los Angeles these will be
given in their entirety, with all the special
scenery and with the same casts seen in the
principal cities OF the west. The tour of
the Henderson organization has been a
most successful one, and has included a
four weeks engagement in Minneapolis,
four weeks in st. Paul, two weeks in Den
yer, one week in Salt Lake City, two weeks
in Portland, one week in Victoria, B. c.;
one week in Vancouver, B. c., and three
weeks in San Francisco.
Two plays will be presented during
the first week Of the engagement. Tuesday,
Wednesday matinee and night and Thurs
day evening Alexander Dumas society
drama, The Crust OF Society will be the
bill and Friday, Saturday and Sunday
evenings and at Saturdays matinee Vic
torien Sardou's domestic comedy, "a Scrap
of Paper, will be presented.
There are some very well known and ex-
celent artists in the Henderson company

the United States, and since joining the

explanation of Herostrat's end. Herostrat
was sculptor, who was intrusted with the
task of making new statue of Artemis for
the temple. But Praxiteles, who was then
in Ephesus, was also instructed to design
a figure Of the goddess, and took as his model
young girl with whom Herostrat was in
love. Fulda finely outlines the contrast in
character between the joyous, life-enjoying
Athenian and the raging, dark-visaged He
rostrat. 1t is the rejection Of his statue and
the acceptance of Praxiteles' work which
drives him to fire the temple

A Dramatic Richelieu

p. G.. Macfarane's dramatic recital for the
benefit of the Eighth Street Church of
Christ last Monday night was successfully
given to packed house. Mr.. Macfarlane $
reverent and impressive rendition of Pauls
speech before Agrippa gave a new idea of
the splendor Of that immortal production.
This was followed by 'The Great Voyage,
a monologue from the French, affording a
sharp contrast to the lofty periods of the
great Christian orator. Mr.. Macfarlane is
equally at home in tragedy and comedy.

Coquelin's Next Role

The gossips in Paris are busily telling
what role Constant Coquelin will take nm
after he lays aside Cyrano de Berperac
early in 1899. Napoleon, Lucien Bonaparte
Alexander the Great have been laid aside
now by the gossips in favor of Chicot, the
Jester, in a new dramatization of LA Dame
ae Montsoreau." Willard has dramatiza
tion of this Dumas romance, made by Louis
n. Parker. Mansfield used to like to an
nounce coming production (which never
came) of one by Sir Walter Besant and
Walter Herries Pollock Mr.. Willard has
lately been in Paris, and, it is said, has tax
en- an active interest in Coqueln's plan to
revive LA Dame de Montsoreau" The
attention attracted to the Henri Trois plav
lends its history new interest. Produced
at the Ambgu in 1860, and thrice revived
within twenty years, it never failed to EN-.
joy an extraordinary vogue. Melingue ere.
ated furor as the jester Chicot, both at the
Ambigu and Porte st. Martin.
The Fine Points of Criticism
lie Bargy OF the Comedie Franchise, to
whose lot has fallen the role of the famous
Nibrion, Due de Septmonts, in ''L'Etran-
gere,' has had row with some of the Pa
risian critics. 1t was objected to the actors
impersonaton of the Due that he wore
gloves throughout the piece. M. lie aBrgy
replied that he did nothing of the kind, but
that in the scenes where he met her in her
own drawing room the wife with whom his
relations were strained he did, indeed, re-
tain both his gloves and his hat, to indicate
the footing on which the parties stood to
one another. He further asserts that Alex.
ander Dumas fills, the author, himself sug-
gested this little bit of business, with view
to making the audience comprehend the
dukes attitude. Professor Max Mueller
is cited to show that shaking hands with
glove on marks an advance in politeness,
as compared with the pressure of fingers
too hot or too cold, too moist or too dry.
An Antique Plot Made New
'Herostrat" is the title Of Ludwig Full.
da's newest play, produced in Berlin lately.
Herostrat was the individual who set fire
to the worlds wonder, the temple at Ephe
sus, in the fourth century, B. O., and, when
tortured to extract confession Of his mo.
tive, declared that be destroyed the temple
that his name might be handed down to
posterity. Fulda, however, gives another

Another Veteran Actor Gone

Charles Walter Couldock, who died few
days ago, was born in Long Acre, London, on
April 26, 1915, and was educated in that city.
Having at the age of 10 seen Macready as
Werner, he determined to become an actor,
but was unable on account of family oppo-
sition to fulfill that desire until he was 81.
By investing ten pounds in tickets he se-
cured the Sadler's Wells theater, and ap-
peared as Othello for the benefit of a Mr..
Burton, an actor In hard luck. He was
billed as "Mr. Fortescue. His first appear.
ance in London" After an interval of three
months he secured an engagement with a
strolling provincial company at an osten-
sible salary of fifteen shillings week, the
larger part of which, however, was never
paid. After few months of this he left the
stage and obtained a position In a. London
commercial establishment, forsal1ing busi-
ness before long to return to the stage.
At the age Of 20 Mr. Couldock became
member Of stock company at Gravesend,
and soon after went to Bath to support John
Vanderhoff. About this time he was mar
ried In Bristol to Louisa Smith, who died

To Correspondents

ID. S.-Your synopsis of a four-act play
shows, besides other faults, that utter alb
sence of the indispensable quality for a
modern success, namely, dramatic action.
| would not advise you to spend money in
getting your piece read, and | have no time
to perform such service gratuitously.
J.. B. There is no such word in use as
"unctious." The mistake, which is not an
uncommon one, is made by writers who in
tend "unctuous."
FRIENDLY B.-The fact that you are
''fond of the stage" is no indication that you
possess talent for acting. A competent,
disinterested teacher could give you better
advice than your friends, who are probably
too partial.
JEAN DE B.-The translation of "Cy-
rano de Bergerac" used by Richard Mans
field is in blank verse. You can procure
the original version in French, and also
some translations, at Parker's.
MOSES L.-You were wrong to get into
a passion about the play because it was not
according to your expectation. After all,
you got your twenty-five cents worth
HENRY D.-Ladies are always right, and
lady critics are infallible. Your remarks
are therefore unwarranted, and show a
carping spirit unbecoming to the occasion.

Toad II a Solid Lump Of Coal.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
George Emig, Town Clerk of Believe,
KY, made discovery yesterday which
has-set scientits looking up works on
reptile lite dung the anted'luvlan age.
Emig, whose reputation for truth and
veracity is unquestioned, was breaking
a lump of coal at police headquarters.
He had split the lump in half, and was
Just about to put the larger half in the
stove, when cavity in the lump at
tracted his attention. He carried it to
the window, and was surprised to see
that it had an occupant in the shape of
a frog different in appearance from any
he had ever seen.
The reptile had no eyes, but where
there should be were simply two holes.
The hind feet were very long, and ter
minated in slender points. The skin
was of blacklsh hue. The reptile was
unusually lively after it had been re-
leased from its prison cell, where it had
doubtless reposed for thousands of years
1t hoped about In lively manner
and attracted considerable attention.
Emig was wiling to swear that the lump
of coal in which the reptile was confined
was solid, and had not been tempered
with before he broke the mass and re.
leased his toadship from his long cap
tiyity.

What 70 Teach Boys.

Parish Visitor.
A philosopher has said that true edu-
cation of boys is to "teach them what
they ought to know when they become
men,"
1. To be true and to be genuine. No
education Is worth anything that does
not include this. A man had better not
know how to read-he had better never
learn a letter in the alphabet, and be
true, genuine in intention and in action
rather than be learned In all sciences
and all languages, to be at the same
time false in heart and counterfeit IN
life. Above all things, teach boys that
truth is more than riches, more than
earthly power or possessions.
2, To be pure in thought, language,
| and Iife-pure in mind and IN body.
3 To be unselfish. To care for the
feelings and comforts of others. To be
generous, noble and manly. This will
include genuine reverence for the
aged and for things sacred.
| 4. To be self-reliant and self-helpful
even from childhood. To be industrl-
ons always, and self-supporting at the
earliest proper age. Teach them that
honest work Is honorable, that an idle
| life of dependence on others is disgrace
full.
When a boy has learned these foa1
things, when he has made these Ideas a
part of his being-however poor or how
ever richie has learned the most i'm
portant things he ought to know when
| he becomes a man.
