Alfred Ayres' Aphorisms

Great actors are great artists not hit
or-missists; they are no more plungers-in-
the-dark than are musicians, painters or
sculptors.
Something can be done on the stage
with a minimum of intellectual effort;
a great thing can be done on the stage only
by the exercise of intelligence of very
high order. The great majority of actors
are content to be merely the hodcarriers
of their vocation. The ignorant are al
ways blind to their ignorance. There Is
not score of players on the American
stage that would not be incomparably
better players than they are if they would
but learn to make use of their God-given
intelligence. This many concede, but
each thinks that he is one of the excep-
tions. Herein the dunderheads lead
Don't imagine that practice, experience,
will ever give you prominence as player.
Practice that is not of the right sort is
worse than no practice at all-it only en-
phasizes your faults.
An actors spontaneity is mere make
believe, and 1t is when an actor is doing
his best thinking that his so-called spon
taneity most appears like the real thing

THE SMALL Boys HEAVEN

Ted walked beside the sea last night
Twas really in dream
Where cen the pebbles on the beach
Were made of chocolate cream.
The sea-where 'twasn't soda-was,
Just think, pink lemonade!
And barleysugar fishes swan
Therein, and weren't afraid.
A bank o'erhung the beach-a bank
of-now, guess what-of pie
Mnce, apple, custard, lemon, squash
And ounce and cranberry.
White peaks rose, made of naught but pure
Ice cream from base to top;
While down their sides cascaded streams
OF sparkling ginger pop:
The trees were made of candy sticks,
That branched, and grew so tall,
1t made Ted tired to think how long
'Twould take to eat them ALL
The common roads that inland ran
Were built of ginger bread;
The fences were of angel cake
Ted walked upon his head,
And munched and swigged where'er ht
he went,
Until the clock struck seven.
And then he woke and told us hom
He'd dreamed he was in heaven"

The Berlin correspondent of the London
Times was thrown, 1T seems into veri-
table frenzy of enthusiasm by the acting

He declares: 1.-THE Macbeth of Mr.. Forbes
Robertson was really superb. He was a
Celt in every fiber of his nature, full Of the
passionate fire of his race, yet ever and
anon the thrall of the moody, mystic tenn
pcramentv which sees visions and dreams
dreams. The dark-red hair, the knitted
brows, the hawks nose, and those gray
eyes that were ever fixed in intense gaze
upon some present vision of horror or upon
some object of ambition in the future-all
| these features were as Celtic as only a
Celt could render conceive them on the
stage. 1t may be doubted whether Shakes
! peares conception of Macbeth was ever
so elaborate as Mr.. Forbes Robertson's.
But it is beyond question that the actor s
elaboration of detail in the part was !nva-
riably in artistic harmony with its general
scope and character 1t was in this sense
a really great creation-materially greater
| than the actors Hamlet because incom-
parably more his own. 1t constantly
seemed, by a thousand natural touches,
to solve the difficult problem of develop
| ing to a climax the human interest of the
play while retaining the supernatural ee-
| ment intact, and, though the audience
supped on horrors, they never ceased to
feel that the horrors were real and inev-
| table"

Ibsen on Himself

In the course of his speech at the dinner
given recently in Christiania in honor of
his birthday, Henrik Ibsen said that he
was about to write a book giving an ac-
count of his life and work, and that he
would afterwards return to the drama,
having still many subjects under consid-
GRAFTON. He found that 1t was a mistake
to suppose that happiness was attained
by celebrity. A poet must represent all
the people, and not single party, or have
all the people against him. He was happy
now in seeing that all parties were united
in his favor, and this gave him great hope
for the future.

Consumption

The merits of the treatment for
the cure of consumption used by DR..
w. Harrison Ballard of this city are
established beyond doubt by the
numerous cured patients whose testi-
mony is the strongest endorsement
which one could we'll make. People
visiting Southern California who are
afflicted with lung trouble can ill
afford to lose the opportunity present
ed to them to have thorough exam
ination of their case and learn what
the possibilities for cure are. The
numerous testimonials of the cured
patients are all open to examination
and the cured patients themselves
may be seen and interviewed, and
thus anyone so desiring may acquaint
himself fully with the facts in regard
to this wonderful cure for Consump.
ton by DR.. Ballard. The fact is, no
other treatment has ever accomplish
ed such large percentage of abso-
lutte cures. His own personal exper-
fence with consumption and his sub
Sequent cure enables DR.. Ballard to
handle all classes of tubercular diseases
with skill and success.

ton of the methods and claims of
