DEWEY,s GENEROSITY.

In 1866" said Col. Frank Small, ad-
vance agent for a theatrical company,
Il was in Washington with Rose Cogh-
ian, playing at what was then AL
baugh's Opera house One afternoon
was in the box office Ginning with the
ticket manipulation and watching the
matinee girls, when three ladies came
in, followed by 100 children, boys and
fgirls. One of the ladies stepped up to
the window and said, we have Just an
even 100 children here, and here is a
check for SIS to pay for tickets for them.
She handed in a check signed George
Dewey, and the tickets were passed out
to the lady. The happy youngsters were
soon enjoying the play. 1 didn't know
George Dewey from Adams off OK and
I asked the ticket man who he was. He
told me that Mr.. Dewey was a navy
officer and that it was not the first
time he had handled his checks in that
way; that once each season any way
the children from some of the several
orphan asylums were given such treats
by the gentleman, but that he seldom
attended performance himself. Now, l
have been in the theatrical business
many years, but that was the first
time 1 ever knew any one person to be
thoughtful enough to put $25 for the
purpose of affording enjoyment to the
children of an orphan asylum. st.

TRIBUTE TO LOUIS JAMES.

Says William Winter in the New
York Tribune: 1T is a condensed YER
sion of The Winters Tale that Mr..
James uses, and for the purpose of eff
fective representation this is comedy
that may very judiciously be condensed
since, as a whole, it is largely retiee-
tive and philosophic, and therefore bet
ter to read than to see. But it is full
of beauty, and its benignant spirit to-
ward human weakness and the manifold
infirmities of mortal life endears 1t to
every appreciative mind. The potent,
Vitalizing charm of the performance
was found to be concentrated in the
acting of Louis James as Autolycus. He
certainly has struck the true note as
to the spirit of the character, though
he is radically wrong as to his appear
ance, his age and his dress; but these
are details. Autolycus is a rogue, but
he is a blithe rogue, and there is no evil
in him. He seems to have been born at
odds with all things regular and con-
Ventional. He is natural vagrant row.
ing up and down the world without mo-
tive or purpose, gathering his livelihood
as the squirrels do, or the magpies and
the rocks, and stealing for the mere fun
of a careless knaVery. He always seems
to be innocent; and to have made him
honest would have been to hush the
happily careless smile in Shakspere. Mr..
James gypsy spirit, if so it may be
called, gave to his meditated art that
accidental help which glows out of the
spontaneous operation of temperament.
His ideal Of the melodious vagabond
must, of course, have been studied;
nothing that involves artistic design can
ever safely be left to chance; but his ex-
ecution of it-as to the spirit; and in
terror meaning-ran with the freedom
and the freshness of the mountain
brook. He still retains the copious and
rich tones that always made his vocal
ism sympathetic; he can sing; and he
sang some of the gleeful ditties of Au-
tolycus in a charming way. 1t is long
since a performance spiritually and hui
namely so free and so fine has been
given on our stage. Almost every per-
| former now before the public is posing
and striving; almost everywhere the eff
| fort of semi conscious incompetence,
almost nowhere the ease of affluent,
careless power; this impersonation has
lShakspere's splendid wildness-like the
dash of the wave or the wafture Of the
seabird's wing.
