Mr.. Mansheld's Home.

where Mansfield is the center. Dis
cusslon Of pertinent topics, origfna
conjectures on the trend of current
events, the world as it is and as we
are making it-that is what interests
him. He is a student Of men and things.
an artist whose experience and kuOwI-
edge and abilities reach beyond one
groove into many and high planes. 1t
is this spirit Of hospitality and this
type Of man which makes a place at
his board eagerly coveted by some Of
the most celebrated men of the day.
When on tour Mansfield travels in
his private car. This transient home
is as much imbued with the personal
character Of the, artist and the
thoughtful student as his home. The
appointments are in the faultless taste
Of the cOnnOisseur, simple, severe. but
elegant in every line. Every nook and
Granny is made the receptacle Of a
book or row of books. The walls
Of each saloon and Of all the halls are
lined with little bits of framed color,
some from the actor own brush. re-
tanned there under the gentle persua-
sion Of his admiring wife.
The table in the drawing room usu-
ally presents a confusion of manu-
scripts, indicating the great drain on
his time made by unsolicited plays
from ambitious playwrights.
Another conspicuous feature Of the
daily life Of the actor is the diurnal
pile Of letters asking for an autograph
II is rare morning. early presage Of
a holiday. which does not find ten or
dozen requests for autographs in the
actors mail. Sometimes the number
runs up TO thirty or forty. For one day
in way a public man might be ex-
pected to smile gracioUsly and consent
TO the thraldOm OF this harmless and
well-intended nuisance. but when the
nuisance multiplies with the identity
of each single day, it may well be
believed that IL assumes the proper
tons OF incipient martyrdom. That is
why few autographs are now written
by Richard Mansfield.

A MONG the public men in the Amer
Il lean histrionic world there is
probably no one more written
about than Richard Mansfield. He is
"a mans actor" as the saying Is
framed. as well as the delight of the
matinee girl.
The interest attaching to his achieve
ments in that sense is limited only by
the public at large. For this reason
and because his restless energy is con-
stantly turning the sod for new en-
deavor, he contributes much to the
news of the day. 1t is a saying among
newspaper men that Richard Mans
field is always good copy" This, trans
lated into less technical phraseology.

ways a good topic.
His public knows him best-one may
almost say it knows him Only-as an

stage. with the singular but insepara-
bic wall Of light between them. blaz-
ing from the foot lamps that mark
the circumference Of quite another
world. The public knows Mansfield
as Beaucaire and as Cyrano. as Brum-
mel. as Eugene Courvoisier, as Or.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. as King Richard
and as Baron Chevrial, but ii knows
little of him as Mansfield
Mansfield as Mansfield is really an
unknown quantity. He substracts the
personal element entirely from his pro
fessiOnal career and chooses TO stand
as artist rather than as man. From
time TO time stories of one sort or an
other about him 60 adrift in the Rot-
sam and jetsam of the gossip about
public characters. but while seizing
upon the curiosity. they not always
attach TO the credulity of the listeners.
After all. Mansfield is as much the
actor and as little the person as ever.

York. He has handsome white stone
