STORIES OF THE STAGE.

A good story about Fritz" Emmett is as
follows:
There is a saloon in Denver which faces
on four streets. The house is built in
somewhat the shape of a wedge. The bar
is located in the rear of the room. and
there is an entrance on EVERY street. Joe
Emmett disappeared from his company
somewhere in the west, and that he land
ed in Denver broke" and alone was not
surprising. On a cold winter morning a
tramplike individual sans oVercoat, sans
glove and with his SLOUGH hat pulled down
over his face VI alked into tie Kearney

"and say, my friend, I'll have(to stand

The Public Ledger, of Philadelphia,
makes the following comment on the
work CT Frank Hennig. of this city, in
the production of Julius Caesar" in
the Park Theatre in that city:
Joseph S. Haworth and Charles B.
RanfCrd are the stars of the company,
and their acting is good. but they did
not put much life into their rendition
Of Shakespeare's lines. The best act
ing and the best declaimming last
evening We're done by Frank Hennig,
as Marc Anthony. Why is it that this
part is usually considered of but sec
odary Importance? He pOrtrays the
strongest emotions, and his speech
over the body of Caesar is confessedly
the gem of the play. The part was
put in capable hands when it was given
to Mr.. Hennig. His acting has that
touch of genius which makes it seem
realism; he is master of that by
play. that stage business which goes
far toward making acting a semblance
of reality, and his elocution is admir-
able. His address to the populace-
an excellently trained populace by the
way-was most imprisoned, and car
ried the auditor with it until it seemed
as if he were personally assisting in
the obsequies of the dead hero, and felt
moved, like the Roman mob, by the
eloQuence of the orator."

baritone, and Scolari and Fummigalli,

well trained voices has been quickly

A paragraph going the rounds Of the
press gives information of the occupation
of a once great and popular opera bouffe
singer, Emily Soldene, now acting as So
ciety reporter for an Australian newspa-
per. She wrote a book of recollections
some years ago which was about as fun
ny and readable as anything in its line
that has ever been written. Its prompt
success marked her for journalist.
When she was in New York last she had
with her Sara, high kicker of great
limberness and agility and fairly good
dancer. Sara, clad in loose gown, stood
under Soldene's shoulder, and when the
disparity of height was clearly impressed
upon the audience, the little woman
would kick over the big ones head This
had nothing to do with the opera, but it
pleased the audience, who cried En-
corei' till the poor girl could kick no
more. Sara was marvel in those days,
but they line up 10 or 20 girls in any cho-
rus now who can kick quite as well.

How do you pay for plays?" asked a
long haired, highly inspired looking indi-
vidual who stalked sublimely into Davis
& Keoghs New York offices the other
day.
Are you playwright" inquired Tom
Davis.
Not yet" replied the visitor. but I
feel inspired to write drama and COM
petent to do so on any lines suggested,
provided always that the compensation is
adequate"
THE compensation" remarked Davis,
depends entirely on the nature of the
subject. If a dry goods clerk is the prin-
cipal character. we pay by the yard for
nautical dramas, we pay by the cargo,
for The Great Train Robbery we paid
blythe carload, for rural plays we pay by
the acre, for society drama whatever the
modiste and the tailor charge for the
clothes. How are we to pay for Have
You Seen Smith, is still q question. The
Finish of Mr.. Fresh has already cost us
almost a fortune and before production.
We are willing TO pay by the foot for a
real lively farce, by the barrel for big
burlesque and by the ton for heavy trag-
edy."
But where do I come in?" interrupted
the caller.
"Oh, You don't come in at all, You go
out!' said Mr. Davis, and out he went.

Managers of theatrical companies
end they ought to know-say that re-
pertoire Is distinctive business. 1t is
Certainly very exacting, and recalls the
days of the old stock companies, when
the actors and actresses were obliged
ito be constantly studying parts for
their next productions. The tendency
appears to be in the direction of the
stock company, although travelling or
CARNATIONS will always exist as mat
ter of course. That good repertoire
companies are always successful, was
evidenced by the business of Himme-
5ein's Ideals at the Grand last week,
