Sir Henry's Repartee.

A nice little story OF the stage credits
Sir Henry Irving with bit of repartee
well calculated to cause u smile One
day an aspiring genius suggested to
Irving the idea that. as scarlet was In
former days in certain countries an en-
blem OF mourning, Hamlet should be
attired in red in place of the conven-
tionai black. Some one at Irvlngs ell
bow said: mo. Shakespeare surely
meant black, for does he not say, And
what would become of my inky cloak.
good motherT" Irving thought for a
moment; then he said, with his charaq-
terlstic infection. Ah--you-forget--.
there might have been red ink in those
days"

ayers desks and storehouses. The ma
ma Tor these things has died out In the
reputable theaters. and unless n play
OF this type Possesses more than or
uihary merit 1t stands no chance of
making money.
~ IL well, too. that this Is so, for the
hish priced houses were in some cnges
setting pace in coarseness which made
u almost impossible for those queer re.
sorts known as "vaudeville- burlesoue"
theaters to keep up with the procession.
and. as the initiated are aware. when
such condition is reached II Is pretty
nearly time to call a halt. In this case.
fortunately. the public has seen fit TO
call the halt itself by Withholding its
patronage.
What in the world can have come
over Henry Il mean Sir Henry Irving?
He has been pitching into the dramatic
critics of London without gloves. IL
ever there was an actor I'm England
who has been treated with the utmost
consideration by the dramatic writer's
that man Is Irving. Frequently produc-
tions made by him which have not been
ell that they should have been have
been commented upon leniently, and
his shortcomings in many other direc-
tons have been considerably CLOSED
over. And yet he has now followed the
example of some of his foolish brethren
OF the profession by attacking the men
who made him.
No matter what may be responsible
for IL, there can be no question that
there Is Il very general impression that
the head of the English stage has pass
ed the zenith of his powers. Irving
never was really great technician as
Booth was. He is more like our Law
renee Barrett, although OF course he
is the latters superior both as actor
and student Of dramatic value and eff
feet. Irying's pre-eminence on the Eng
llsh stage Is due primarily to the fact
that at the time of his rise to fame
there was not n single commanding
competitor In sight. Then. too, he was
so conscientious performer and pro-
Queer that the actor was overlooked in
the artist. He was never foolish enough
to permit himself to think that 1t was
Irving whom the people wished to see.
He knew that they paid to look at an
Irving production with Irving I'm 1t. and
that the combination was effective,
while neither element OF It would have
been go without the other.

Mckinley. and to carry the Illustration
bit further Mr.. Lackaye knows him
just about as Mr.. Mckinley knows me.
Yet this fellow wanders about the ex-
changes seeking to impress all who will
listen with the fact that he Is on such
intimate terms with most OF the lead
Ing lights of the stage that he never
thinks Of addressing them or referring
to them as mfr" or Miss" As have
said, this is not one individual There

fair day between Twenty and
Forty-second streets. though of course

ence of which the average New York
actor Is willing to admit.

AS q matter OF fact, Mr.. Lackaye will
be a star next season and possibly dur
Ing the latter part of the present one IL
he can secure the right sort OF play. He
realizes fully since his recent expert
ence that Shakespeare knew what he
was talking about when he declared
that the plays the thing" Mr.. Lack
aye can always command an enormous
salary as leading man. but he very
properly thinks that his record of sue
justified in considering himself OF stel-

The success Of 1.-THE Girl From Paris"
started a regular craze for plays of
rather questionable proprlety, and there
was an enormous resultant crop. All

least France. Strange as 1t may APP

splendid types OF men that Shakespeare

simple because all of the actions and
the details are so infinitely described In
the text that almost any artist of intel
ligence and sympathy feels what he
must act; difficult because there are

one good guess, and that the two ladies

1t would appear that from Miss Rus
sells standpoint II would have been
much better for her to have continued
with the Triple Alliance" for not even
Mrs. Hoppers most ardent admirer
would have the temority to claim that
she can draw as much money into
theater as either Miss Fox or Mr.. de
Angels.
Mrs. Hopper Is charming little ac-
tress. She has few superlors in legiti-
mate comedy. and she is more than sat-
isfactory In comic opera until 1t comes
to the singing part of 1t, and then
Inasmuch, therefore. MS in comic opera
there is usually some singing. 1t is easy
to understand that that particular line
OF work is not her forte. Perhaps. how
ever, the parties at interest in the
problematical coalition have figured
that as Miss Russell is strong on sing
ing and shy on acting, while Mrs. Hop
per is strong on acting and shy ON sing
ing, dual combination might have the
effect OF evening up matters satisfac-
torily.

The Original

Any one who knew the south-the

days had passed away-apd indeed they

Is perfectly well aware that the SO call

the vaudeville halls and the extraneous
scenes of the light comic operas no more
represents African melody, words or
sentiment than 1t does the poetry of the
Inhabitants of Mars. Today there is
too much of American and Irish hu-
NOR. clothed in supposed negro dialect,
posing as the elaboration of a class that
never made pretense to the possession
OF any such mental characteristics. The
old time genuine melodies of the ne
groes were always the composition of
the whites, but tortured into almost
an absolute lack of Identification by
the verbal variations of the then slave.
The original musical Idea of the Afri-
can was a simple chant-nothing more.

higher musical abilities resulted in
such compositions as Come Where My
Love Lies Dreaming" Jennie with the
Light Brown Hair" etc.-that madethem
famous as concert and parlor songs.
Many of these are little known in the
south and hardly at all to the 'colored"
population.
Constant repetition of word. phrase
and musical accent is the basis of the
true negro song. There is much of the
