plause to the player. AS William Haz-
lett wrote zone thunder of applause
from pit and boxes and gallery Is equal
to the whole immortality of postum
nous fame" To take this from the ac-
tor is to deprive him, we may say, of
his proper sustenance' and just re-
ward. John Henderson, the old Eng
lish actor, committed himself TO the
exaggeration that no actor could per-
form well unless he was Systematically
fattered both off and on the stage.
Dutton Cook relates that the playgoers
of York Were at one time so lukewarm
in their reception of popular players
that, at the Instance of Woodward, Tate
Wilkinson, the manager. called on the
chief patrons of the house and Inform
ed them that the actor was so morti-
fed by their GOODNESS that he could not
play nearly so well in York as at Dub
lin, London and Edinburgh. The au-
dience benefited by the remonstrance
and on Woodward's appearance, great
ly to his delight. awarded him with
generous applause. 1t Is not unlikely
that the auditors were well paid for
their trouble.
But there is another kind of applause
even more flattering to the hstrion-
attention. Garrick appreciated this
when he banished forever the loungers
who had been allowed for so long a
time to be present on the stage during
performances. A tear dimmed eye or
n hushed audience is a greater compli-
ment to the actor than boisterous
demonstration. When the performer
cannot command silence In certain
scenes, he very well knows that he has
not interested the audience and that he
is a failure-the saddest and most de-
jecting thought that can enter the
mind of an actor. The great Thomas
Betterton. the master Of his art. had
the utmost esteem for a silent and at
tentlve audience. 1t was easy, he said,
for any player to rouse house, but to
subdue 1t, render 1t rapt and hushed
TO murmur. was work for an artist.
IT was Charles Lambs opinion that
a play is well acted in proportion as
scenic allusion is perfect and that the
nearest approach TO 1t is when the ac-
tor appears wholly unconscious OF the
presence Of spectators. But the gentle
scholar intended no reference to the
actors acknowledging applause by n
redoubled effort or as n spur to his
achievement Nobody better than he

1t Is generally supposed that the sue
cess of a performance depends upon
the actor, author and manager. This
statement Is true In measure, yet
one of the most important consldera-
tons has been overlooked-an appre-
ciative and generous audience.
The truth of this assertion will be
readily understood by those who have
attended rehearsal. when there Is
naught save empty seats confronting
the players. 1t matters not how en-
trancing, stirring and captivating
play may be, mt rehearsal it ever APP
pears dull and spirtless But fill the
seats with kindly auditors. who cor
daily participate In the actors eff
forts. and metamorphose occurs
which may be likened to the breaking
forth Of an extinct volcano or even to
the ca of spring to buried flowers. In
terest and animation fill the scene,
and the performers are thrilled with
energy and exhilaration. That which
at rehearsal was n splritless dumb
show all at once bursts into life and
activity.
Appreciation is the parent of achieve
ment Those audiences see the best
acting which encourage the actor by
hearty, genial and merited approba-
ton. The effect is magical. On the
other hand. cold house chills the
current of the actors art, dulls achieve
ment and causes 1t to sink into flat

A Telegram That Talked.

At one time when the late George
Drew Barrymore was playing In San
Francisco a fabulous sum was offered
her by a local theater for her services
for a few weeks. The offer was ex-
ceedingly tempting, but her contract
with Charles Frohman stood In the
way. However, on the nothing ven
ture nothing won theory, she tele-
graphed a detailed statement of the
offer she had received to Frohman In
New York. explained how anxious she
was to accept it and wound up with
the plea. "Will you release me" In
due course of time she received the
following telegram in answer:
Mrs. George Drew Barrymore, Palace Hotel, San
Francisco:
mol CHARLEs FRoHhAS.
Albeit disappointed. Mrs. Barrymore
at once sent this characteristic reply:

Mankato, Mimi, April 18th, 1900.
To THE VOTERS OF THE SECOND
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT:
I take this means of announcing that
I am candidate for congress, subject
to the action of the coming Republican
congressional nominating convention.
In making this announcement, do
not propose to go into lengthy
declaration of principles, +" or extended
reasons for SO doing During my thir-
teen years. residence in the district
leach campaign of which found me
upon the Republican stump in this and
other districts) my Republicanism has
never been questioned. IF nominated
and elected to the high office of con-
gresham, it shall be my ambition to
serve the Republican party in all
honorable ways; but shall never bow
to party lash to the extent of reforming
public services detrimental to the well
fare and contrary to the will of the
party or people of the district. Indeed,
I should hope and expect not to be
called upon to do SO.
have always felt that the successor
to our present member, should come
from outside Blue Earth county; and it
is only the apparent fact that there is
no such candidate in the field, that has
induced me to enter the race. Condi-
tons appear to be such that my.
candidacy is not at the expense of any
such probable candidate.
have but the friendliest feeling for
Mr.. McCleary, the present member.
But with all due respect to him, I feel
that eight years enjoyment of the
honors and emoluments of the office,
should be sufficient. True, there may
have been instances when member of
congress occupied position so promi-
nent that his retirement would be
deep loss to congress and to the
country. Does the above reason exist
in the present case?
If elected, shall have in view, at all
times, two special objects, aside from
any other aims or duties: One object,
to try and secure for my district such
recognition in the way of public i'm
provements as it deserves.
My second special ambition land the
first in principle) shall be to endeavor
to assist in so simplifying our. pension
laws, methods and practices, as to do
away with much of the red tape
methods, onerous requirements and
vexatious delays which now wear away
the life Of the applicant and pensioner,
while he waits for justice.
With full faith in the Republican
party and with full appreciation of and
gratitude for such supportias I may re-
ceive at the hands of the people, 1 sub
