A memorial window to Edwin Booth
has been placed in the Church of the
TRANSPORTATION, New York, famous as
The Little Church Around the Cor
| ner," by members of the Players club,
which the great actor endowed. The
window was placed in the church last
| Wednesday afternoon. 1t is described
as glowing tribute to the great Amer
| lean actor.
The window is the work of John La
Fargo, whose every work is a source
OF delight to all lovers of decorative
art. Yesterday Mr.. La Fargo accorded
| a Mirror representative the privilege
of viewing the window at his studio
Washington square. It's form is that
of a single lancet-that is to say, of
Gothic window with a sharply pointed
head and without subdivision by null
lions or tracery.
! design made by La Fargo many years
ago, but never utilized before in a pub
lie way. A historian of noble mein-
distinctly resembling Edwin Booths
! represented sitting and gazing medita-
lively upon his Thespian's mask which
he has just taken off. The theme SYM
boliZes the old saying of the preacher,
garding his counterfeit personality, the
! workman meditating upon the excel
lence and impotence of his work, HUI
mainly medltating upon the nothing
ness of its earthly outside
This single figure fills the upper part
of the window, and below it is an arch
itectural podium with the following in
scription:
AS one in suffering all suffereth nothing.
A man that f7r,une's hufets and rewrds
Has taen with equal thanks.
To the glory of God and
Lo MI memory of Edwin Booth,
This window has bsen placed -
Here by the Players 1873.
The committee which has had the
memorial in charge consists of Messrs
Rispham, Glider and White. The win
dow will be paid for by subscription
1t will be kept yelled until a day is
| appointed for special memorial serv-
ices, when various representative ac-
| tors, artists and literateurs will be
present at the invitation of the Play
ers The occasion will be made a me-
| morable one.
| John E. Henshaw, who made such
| hit with his IT'S a good thing, push
IL along" in THE Passing Show has
another expression that promises to
become the legitimate successor of
that famous expression. Henshaw is
in the cast of Around Town" a re-
view of the theatrical season In Bos-
ton. Quite lately he and George Rich
ards were on the stage telling a num-
Der of war jokes that did not arouse
the customary laugh. Henshaw, see
ing that something was the matter,
spontaneously repeated the point to
one of his best jokes. Richards turn
ed, and in an off-hand way replied
"Oh, 1 heard what you said" The au-
dience, at this mild sally, ''tumbled,"
| and a hearty laugh ensued AS a re-
suit Henshaw has worked the express
sion into the dialogue of the review at
as many frequent intervals as he
brought the good thing" expression
forward, and it has never yet failed
to get a laugh. Indeed, the report
from Boston is that "Oh, 1 heard
what you said" has been taken up
on the street, and it is a by-word
now
George Bernard Shaw the London
critic-actor, who recently resigned his
position on the Saturday Review was
ma rried last week to Payne Townsend,
lady of wealth, who shares all his
advanced socialistic ideas.
