Dan Marble, of "a Milk White
Flag" Co., Is the possessor of an inter
esting theatrical souvenir. 1t is the
gold watch formerly owned by Will
liam Warren. Mr.. Warren had been u
successful star. He finally settled in Bos-
ton where for many years he was the
comedian of the Boston Museum Stock
Company, the pride of not only Boston.
but Massachusetts as well. Mr. War.
rem was a gentleman of the old school
closely allied to the Jefferson and Mar
BILE families, who might be called the
Deans of the American stage-if senior
ity counts for anything.

! ',Dramatic Art" so called, shelters
many peculiar brands. There's the
"Uncie Tommers;" the "van-dee-veer"
lady and gent" the clown with the
ten-cent circus; the minstrel man; the
prestidigitator, the "Punch and Judy"
man, and the transformer who SO
often comes to grief, but is never
daunted.
Speaking of this particular brand,
one old friend, Con. 7. Murphy, said:
'sThe leading man and the pert
I soubrette
Engaged as cook and waiter,
Are doing well in small hotel
Near the Kankakee Tbeater.'
From this 1t is to be inferred, that
the strong-hearted landlord was obdur-
ate.t Then again we have the respect
ed and self-respecting, intelligent ac-
+ tor and actress, who differ from the
others, as much as fried mush and
fried chicken; both are fried, there the
resemblance ceases.
Recently a new style has come to the
front The Pugilistic Star, who is
always Gn his playO hero of the first
water. In voice like the famed bull
of Bashan, he defends the heroine in
execrable text, vile pronunciation, Il
proved disregard of syntax and pros
ody and lots of other things dear to the
refined ear. He prospers while art
hangs her head to conceal the tell-tale,
bushes of shame which mantel her
withered cheeks.
Several years ago, another alleger ar
tist, Steve Brodie, the bridge jumper,
was appealed to in Detroit, while he
was starring in "On the Bowery" for
aid, to help bury decently an old actor,
who had died Of starvation, in that
: hospitable town. Brodie enjoyed a
cheap reputation as a charitable man.
As a matter of fact, he never gave a
cent to worthy or unworthy charity,
unless he received the equivalent in
advertising. However, on this particu-
lar occasion, he answered the com
mittee like this:
"What do you come to me for? l
aint no actor-I'm a freak" Brodie
told the truth; there are whole lot
of freaks" who masquerade as CAR
lists" That the 'pugilistic star,p
comes under that head, is a soft guess.
BROUGHT TO TERMS.
The white Rats" (spell the last word
backwards) society composed of
leading vaudeville performers, object
to being assessed ive-per-cent. by
agents of the Variety Syndicate. No
wonder! The income derived by man
ayers. from this source runs away up
into the hundreds of thousands yearly.
Talk about political assessments. So
the Rats, organized the 'White Mice"
(the female contingenD and this strong
combination have brought the man
ayers to their knees compelling them
to do away with the assessment.
TT WON'T WORK.
1t is not long since when it was quite
the usual thing, for the guileless hus-
band to say to his unsuspecting little
wifey:
Dear, l shall go to Cleveland tonight
to see good show; Jones, Brown and
are going, quite stag party, don't
you know. Beastly shame they new
er have any first class shows at the
Grand" Then he'd so to Cleveland
and drink red liquor) That used to
work all right, but it don't go now.

Edwin Knowles, the well-known
theatrical manager, who this season
has been interested with Fred Whit
ney in several Quo Vads companies,
was stricken with paralysis at his
home in Brooklyn last week and is
reported to be in critical condition.
Mr.. Knowles was formerly an actor,
but of recent years has devoted mis-
time to management of various metro
politan and Brooklyn theaters.
Last week the indictments secured
against Harrison Gray Fiske, the hus-
band of Minnie Maddern Fiske, by
members of the theatrical syndicate
for his assaults upon them some two
years ago were dismissed.
Miss Lila Vane who appeared in
Akron in The Christian had a good
scare in the Phoenix Hotel fire at
Lexington, Saturday night, where
she was stopping after the perfor-
nance there that evening. The actress
was sitting in her room taking some
luncheon when the alarm of fire was
given. She did not think it was seri-
Gus until told she had better get out,
and with the assistance of the gal
liant Lexington fire laddies, who had
reached the scene by this time, Miss
Vane said she did not stand on the
order of going but executed a rapid
flank movement toward the pavement
AS soon as the excitement was over
she returned to her room and found
that her trunks and effects had es-
capped injury.
