MUSIC AND DRAMA

Joseph Jefferson has arranged for tn,
production next year of "The Rivals
with Elsie Leslie, who will make bel
temperance.
Mrs. Potter, who is said to be meet
ing with success at the Adelphi Theatre
In London, will be seen in Romeo ant
Juliet" and "The Lady of Lyons"
It is related of Billy Florence, the &C
tor, that when he haw an Indian walk
ing through the waters of a Canadian
river and harpooning or "gigging" fish
he remarked to Joe Jefferson that it re-
minded him of a well known cutlery
firm, Wade & Butcher.
It is a rare occurrence In the history
of the pstage for member of theatFi'
cal company to have an active profes.
sional career extending over seventy
years. Such record, however, has
been established at Coburg by Herr
Carl Weiss, an actor at the Court Thea
tire.
J. Lester Wallack, a grandson of the
famous actor of that name, appeared al
the Able Dubois in Minnie Seligmar
Cuttings production of Gilbert's Com
edy and Tragedy" Young Wallack
who is Just twenty-one, is described as
remarkably alike in appearance to his
lamented grandfather.
May Irwin's success in coon songs is
due to the fact that she knows her sub
iect. She has lived much among ne.
groes, and unconsciously, but none the
less thoroughly has she studied them
When she wanted to know what they
would do or say under certain circu1n-
stances she did not have to "read up
about them, or take other peoples wort
for it; she knew it all "0y heart" and
literally, for she has a real affection
for the race.
Not long ago Mr. Max Heindl, leader
of the Castle Square orchestra, pleas
antly surprised the patriotic members
of the audience by playing them out
to the inspiring strains of "The Sta
Spangled Banner" This is move in
the right direction. In England every
public meeting ends with the singing
or playing of the national anthem
Why should not custom appealing sc
strongly to the loyalty of the masses
be adopted in America? Mr.. Heindl's
musical selections, by the way, are al.
ways in excellent taste, and fill the
waits between acts most enjoyably.
"There have been criticisms of moral.
ity of the stage" said Richard Mans
field, addressing a college audience
"and perhaps some of the criticism
comes from the fact Of our private lives
haing laid ont go thoroughly by the
papers. I can say in regard to this thai
there is no more and no less Immortality
on the stage than in society. The actor
is too busy, too full of the important
duties of his art, to be immoral. Agaiz
actors have to contend with much in
the way Of personal criticism. 1t woult
oe good II newspapers would limit theil
mention of the players to their public
performances. I. is not necessary that
the public should be told of our private
lives.
