STORIES OF
THE STAGE.

Few women Of the stage have estah.
iished themselves more firmly In the af-
fections Of their associates than Mrs.
James Brown Potter.
Miss Maudc Hosford. who figures
prominently In the production OF RED,
White and Blue" was for several years
associated with Mrs. Potter and Mr..
Bellew. and she has n goodly store Of
these anecdotes OF their careers. Mrs
Pottcr's experiences in Japan. Mis-,
Hosford says. arc worth while recount
ing. The Japanese are great students.
and when the emperor heard OF tho
presence In his domain Of Mrs. Potter
and Mr. Bcllew he commanded them to
give n reading OF Shakespeare.
Upon their arrival at the Royal the
nter they discovered that the performs

and concluded at 10 .. m. Mrs Potter
explained that Romeo ana Juliet" the
play selected by the royal host. would
not be long enough. She was rcas.
sured that this circumstance made not
the slightest difference. They could
play II over again and again until tho
time was consumed. The order OF the
performance was unique and was ~
follows; First an English secretary
read the act In English. then "A Japa-
nose Interpreter read II In the home
language. and finally Mrs. Potter and
Mr.. Bellew played II In English. lie.

Many Of them stood upon stools and
calmly nasaI over the ton OF IL.
Mrs. Potter sent for the Interpreter
ana requested him TO ask the people 10
move away. lie explained 20 her that
was the custom and that the audience
would not mind her undressing at ALL"
Mrs. Potter and Mr.. Beilew were In
consequence compelled TO play the roles
without change Of costume. Another
peculiar custom In that country In the
manner employed BY the spectators TO
show their appreciation for the artists.
while the players were resting between
acts their admirers. forbidden TO gaze
upon them In their dressing rooms.
Hhowered them with flowers. candles
and small preserved fishes, the latter

Mrs. Potter invariably niludea 10 her
