Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1901-09-19

men are side by side on the dark stage,
striving to become perfect in their
parts. The young actor dreams of
fame as he struts about for his one
brief hour. The old man bowed with
age now tolls for bread alone. The
garish glimmer of the unrealities
has gone from him forever. He sees
only the canvas forest, the painted
village and the cruel glow of the lime
light.
Still the ranks are ever filling. We
must have new plays, new players
to play them; new songs, new sing
ers; new dances and new dancers.
1t was only the other day that a
manager returned from Europe with
a barrel full of comedies and dramas.
Nine. Bernhardt and Miss Maude
Adams will play Romeo and Juliet; I"
Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry will
be here for a season of 20 weeks;
Annie Russell will appear in THE
Royal Family" Charles Hawtrey and
company of 30 members will play "a
Message from Mars" which he has
produced for two consecutive seasons
in London; E. II. Sothern, Miss Bar
rymore, William Faversham and a
score of others will appear during
the winter.
These are some of the successful
ones. We never hear of the thou
sands who have failed. AS one drops
out another takes his place. To keep
the theater alive there must be
actors and actresses to take the
minor parts as well as stars to fill
the important roles. And so it is
that the managers of the theatrical
companies are besieged just before
the opening of the season with APP
plicants from all classes of life.
They come from the poor working
girl behind the department store
counter to the millionaire's daughter
in diamonds who imagines she is
destined to achieve histrionic fame.
The farm boy at his pillow sees a
play in the village, gets an inspira-
ton, shucks his overalls and trudges
to the city to seek fame and fortune
behind the footlights. The country
lass who has scored a "hit" at the
home theatricals for the benefit of a
missionary society believes the
praises of her town friends will be
voiced by the world. She. too, comes
to the manager or the theatrical
agency. But those who are repulsed
are after all the fortunate ones.
Not long ago a manager of one of
the most popular theaters in New
York was sitting at his desk ar
ranging the programme of plays for
the coming season when he was star
tied by loud, determined rap at his
door.
"Come in" he cried, without cere-
mony.
With a STACY walk tail and obese
woman approached him. She had

across his shoulders. He dumped it
down and on opening il out popped lit

"What can you do?" asked the man
ager of the green country boy.

The members of the minstI ell show
were rehearsing and for their amuse-
ment they told him to go ahead. He
pulled an old fiddle from beneath his
jacket and began like a man saving
wood. When theyh had enough they told
him TO "trot along" There were tears
in the boys eyes, but just as he
reached the door the manager, who
saw something in the lads face that
took his fancy, called him back and
employed him. But these cases are the
exceptions. To those contemplating
trying to become actors or actresses
the advice of the old manager is timely.
To all such he simply says: Don't. !"

There are people who believe that
the, present tightness OF the money
market will shortly be relieved and
money become plentiful. They base
their ideas on the facts that the
Federal Government will redeem
the bonded debt OF Hawaii; that
nearly all assessable sugar stocks
have been paid aud that couse-
quently the people who speculated
in stocks will be in position to
liquidate their legitimate debts.
We are not pessimistic in any mark
ed degree, but we fail to see how
the optimists can draw any conaols'
tion from the facts mentioned.
They do not understand the true
situation here and they cannot have
made careful study OF the money
market. The Federal Government
may pay over 100000 to redeem
the Hawaiian bonds. Most of these
bonds are held abroad and their re-
demption will not affect the local
market at all. OF the rest the great
est portion ia held by concerns
which have ample funds at their
disposal but do not care at present
to make local investments, until it
has become clear what the actions
Of the Legislature and of the Dole
regime will mean. As far as the as
sessable stocks are concerned wa
can say that there are yet nearly
100000 to be paid, aud those who
have met the assess msnts so far will
certainly not throw their chances
to get paid-up stocks even if they
have to stave off their landlord,
grocer and butcher. AS far as the
100000 paid for assessable stocks
are concerned we feel Qualified in
saying that nearly 100000 OF that
amount were money borrowed by
the holders of assessable stocks from
the money lenders, These holders
gave as security, in their mad race
for Masking money quickly, gilt.
edged paid up stocks, real estate
personal property and good endorse
ments for the money wherewith to
meet the assessments. The money
borrowed must be paid back or the
good securities given will become
forfeited, and that means that the
money market will remain as tigh,
as it is now. We know Of a rich
concern which, during the past few
weeks, have had applications fol
loans, ranging from $500 to $4,000
to the amount OF more than 100000
aud to WHICH "a "NoW had to be

that we are facing financial crisis

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Pacific Charter Company
which is being foated in San Fran
CISCO is not meeting very compli-
meptary comments from the press of
California. Among the promoters
figures the name OF Mr.. Kentwell,
graduate from the Oahu College.
He is part Chinese and that is possi-
bly, the reason why he has been
allowed to join the irresponsible
concern the object OF which is to
raise Con paper capital stock OF
Sl2,500.00o, and spend that amount
in importing to Western Mexico
100000 Chinese coolies, and estab-
lishing steamship lines, fisheries and
canneriss on gigantic scale. One
of tho promoters says frankly that
IL will take 100 years to send 1,O00,.
600 Chinese to Mexico, but that the
prospectus will have catching
effect among the Chinese capitalists
in San Francisco, The Chinese in
California are as long-headed as any

are and it is safe to say
that they will not bite. We
