Was One Season Ahead of ssThe
Crust of Society,"
PROVED TOO POPULAR.
Her Cleverness Resulted in Adj
Vertising Her Personally.
To Be Here Tuesday in Hoyt's
ga COntented Woman"

The woman who was the first to in
wade the field of the theatrical press
agent will be in Topeka Tuesday night.
She IS Belle Archer. the actress who
succeeded Caroline MiskeI Hoyt in
Hoyt's "A Contented Woman
The invasion occurred several years
ago. She went on the road as the press
representative of The Crust of So
eiety," and made failure of the bust
ness However, the failure was due to
everything but TACK of cleverness and
ability
Instead of Miss Archer"s visits to the
sanctums of the different papers in the
various cities being followed by elegant
notices OF The Crust Of Society the
play was merely noticed while a lions
sfare of space was given Miss Archer.
In short, she made herself too popular
with the newspaper men of the country
for the good of her business, and in
stead of advertising THE Crust of So
ciety" the accomplished press agent ad-
VertiSed Belle Archer.
That is why she made a failure of
the field which she was the first of her
sex to enter. AT the end of the season
she wisely concluded to profit by her
popularity, and went on the stage.
Miss Archer has been successful in
"A Contented Woman since the start.
Next year she will be seen in a new
comedy drama from the pen of Forbes
Heermans, the writer who provided the
Introduction for David Harum" and
edited the book
In this new piece a unique entrance
has been arranged for Miss Archer. Like
James O'Neill in Sydney Grundy's
version of THE Musketeers" she will
ride into the view of her audiences on
the back of a broncho. Her character
will be that of a New York society
young lady, and the first act will see
her temporarily domiciled on a ranch
in Texas, somewhere near the Mexican
border
The following three acts are laid in
New York City. Mr.. Frank Morse, Miss
Archer's manager, who was here this
week, feels confident that she will make
a big hit in the new piece.
Miss Archer was with Sothern and

backing they thought they had when it

The travelling man had been listening
and he broke in with,
Say, I've been around the state bit
myself, and I want to tell you that these
fellows who think they are running for
governor against Breidenthal will be
outclassed long before the convention.
Ninety per cent of the Populists are
solid for Breidenthal, to say nothing of
the Democrats"
The travelling man then proceeded to
say some rather uncomplimentary
things about the other Populist candi-
dates The pair listened in silence, and
as they did not venture to argue the
matter when the travelling man paused
for a reply, he got up and walked to the
other end of the car.

been listening, do you know who that

MANY WERE MINsrRELs.
Francis Wilson Recalls Famous Com
edians Who Used Burnt Cork.

Talking with Francis Wilson recent
ly, a friend CHANGED to mention the fact
that the first work on the stage of a
now very prominent comedian was done
with a minstrel company. There are
some in the profession said Mr. Will
son, who seem to think that minstrel
work is inferior; the best of them do
not
Il remember an incident that hap
pened when we We're travelling in the
all-star cast of The Rivals which il
lustrates this. One of the younger Ia
dies of the company was speaking of
friend who had become attached to a
member of a minstrel company, and re-
GREETING that her affections had not
been placed upon a man higher in rank
in the profession. Old Mrs. Drew i'm
mediately resented the sneer at min
strelsy and declared that men who used
burnt cork were as good as those who
wore grease paint. She appealed to Jo-
seph jefferson, who remarked that he
would have no objection to his daugh-
ter marrying a minstrel, provided she
loved him, and then he added that he
himself used to black up, and he knew
that Edwin Booth played the banjo in
the olden time. Then w. II. Crane spoke
up, and recalled the fact that he was
once the middle man in a minstrel
show, and Nat Goodwin referred to the
time when he was a minstrel in the
same company that I was. So it turned
out that every one of the men in the
party had at some time in his career
been in the minstrel business"

my young friend, Henry E. Dixey,

complished in his part of David Garrlck
at the Fifth Avenue with Stuart Rob-
