| Henry Irving spends fabulous sums
on the production of plays. Every de-
tail must be perfect no matter what
the expense. For instance, the peal of
/ bells used at the end of the first act
OF Faust" and heard but a few sec
! onds as the curtain falls, cost $4,000
He brought a church organ to this
country and an experienced organist as
we'll besides 400 tons of scenery for his
! repertoire of plays. He also brought
over singer at a salary of $10O week
to render one song in play he thought
| of producing. He wasn't even sure
that he would produce it. There is no
taking with Mr.. Irving's plays. 1t
is said that he has a fortune, but it
] cannot be very large when so much of
his money goes for staging his plays.
George Clark has the right idea of
! saving money. He believes that the
time to make hay is while the SUN is
shining. When he was with Augustin
( DAILY he received a salary of $3.50 a
week Do you think he went to expen-
sive hostelries and hung his dress suit
in 81 a day room? Not he He
/ quietly hied him to hall bed rooms in
/ $40 week boarding houses and sewed
j S140 to the inside of his chest-protector
/ He has farm not far from New York
and snug sum invested in bonds. So
if he lives to ripe old age he won't be
afraid of any wolves tomfooling around
/ his door.
| Lillian Russell has managed to buy
a $40, 600 house, but she is very eXtrava-
CANT, and they say she has not much
cash, though her jewels are worth over
a quarter of million. A great deal
of the American Beauty's" money goes
/ toward the education of her only
/ daughter. Stuart Robson's fad is
books. John Drews hobby is books
/ pertaining to the drama. He has Il
rare collection.
Della Fox invests largely in dta-
monds. So does tombstone Bennett
/ Johnny" is devoted to amateur pho
Biography and always travels with a
camera Mr.. and Mrs Bancroft, shin
/ ing lights of the English stage, have an
odd hobby. 1t is usual with them to
1 pass their summers in Wales. When
/ they find a church altar which does
not appeal to their artistic sense they
/ Immediately build one to their taste
and present it to the church. During
a recent sojourn in Switzerland they
/ built a church in a little town which
they visited.
Ada Rehan likes to pick up unique
I pieces of furniture for her house in
/ New York. Maude Harrison delights
/ in bric-a-bac. Maud Adams is quiet
and studious and her taste is distinctly
/ in the line of books. She spends her
/ vacation at her beautiful summer home
on Long Island, riding and looking
1 after the farm" accompanied by her
/ mother, to whom she is very devoted.
/ De Wolf Hopper spends most of his
| money in buying and staging operas
! He has never had any great amount
! Of the gold His wig bill is quite an
| item. You know he loses lot of them
roofing for base ball; but, wig or no
wig, we all love him.
Maurice Barrymore is the dumb an
imals friends. He usually travels with
| four or five dogs and a pet monkey.
Barry evidently agrees with Ouida.
/ who says: THE more l see of men
| the more / respect dogs" Nobody
who knows Barry" would be surpris-
| ed to find snake coiled up IN his cuff
box and tame eagle under his bed
! He will buy anything that walks,
