Richard Mansfield has the reputation Of
having a temper the equal of which is pos
sessed by no other theatrical star on the
American stage, and in order to sustain it
he created quite a lively little scene in his
dressing room at Milwaukee one evening
last week. Cyvano de Bergerac's nose was
the cause OF it all. MIR. Mansfield had com
pleted his toilet, all but putting on the
celebrated nose. The curtain was ready to
go up, but James Beebe, Mansfield's dresser,
could not find the important adjunct to the
makeup. Everything was overturned in the
search, but the nose remained hidden. The
star actor was frantic; the weather was hot
and his temper ditto. The next thing the
people on the stage knew Beebe came hur-
riedly out OF the dressing room holding his
jaw. where Mansfield had, he claimed,
planted a sharp blow. The nose was found,
but the dresser hurried from the theater to
the police station in pursuit of a warrant
for Mansfield. He could not get one until
morning, and he went away breathing
vengeance on the actor. The few persons
who witnessed the trouble refused to say
anything. Later mutual apologies were eX-
changed and the pursuit of a warrant was
dropped. Dresser Beebe took his old place,

A man OF many duties Is Manager Jake"
Rosenthal Of the -Orpheum nova
days. The opening of Paramount park in
Kansas City as a summer amusement resort
was under his immediate direction, and he
will be compelled to give the enterprise
much of his time until it Is brought to a
close in the fall. Last Wednesday he re-
turned to Omaha after an absence of nearly
three weeks, and went to Kansas City again
the next day. Frequent trips between here
and Kansas City will doubtless be the order
OF the summer.
During his absence Mr.. Rosenthal spent
the greater portion OF his time at West
Baden, Ind. This was the first vacation he
had enjoyed in two years of close attention
to business, and was taken only after his
physician had positively commanded re-
Taxation. While at the baths he fell in with
a delightful and delighted coterle OF old
time circus and theatrical men who had
known him in their business when he was
a bright and aspiring youth. Only the ut
most frmness OF mind prevented Manager
Rosenthal from losing the rest he had been
sent to seek. AS 1t was, he did not have
much of an opportunity to enjoy the
pleasures OF solitude with such jolly COM
panions about him as Lew Dockstader and
w. H. West, the MINISTRIES. He also met
Johnny Ray of "A Hot Old Time and Law
renee Hanley, the actor. In renewing old
acquaintanceships Mr.. Rosenthal succeeded
in gaining several pounds of flesh, which he
trusts will not be altogether worn away by
the fast life which he expects to lead on the
flyer between Omaha and Kansas City dur
ing the summer
