dence. Gifts no longer arrive via the
stage door route. In fact, such trifies
as sables, diamonds, automobiles and
real estate would rather stagger even
a seasoned doorkeeper. But however
blase this chorus maid may strive to
appear, she takes good care that every
one of her associates learns what the
festive season has brought forth In
the way of gifts.
Miss RusselIs Merry Christmas.
The famous Weber and Field COM
pany always has merry Christmas.
Each Christmas, with a right good
will and a free hand, the members of
the company contributed for a COM
mon gift for their managers, until the
offering took on such extravagant
proportions that the delineators of
Dutch character determined to call a
halt. Last year a notice was posted
on the bulletin board. couched in Ian
guage that was not to be mistaken,
to the effect that the management de-
sired the custom to be stopped.
This injunction, however, did not
interfere with the regular Christmas
spread given on Christmas Eve. and
Miss Lillian Russell distributed gifts
to all, from manager to call boy. Each
gift bore a famous jewelers. mark,
and the distribution occurred just be-
fore the evening performance, when
Miss Russell sat in her dressing room,
enjoying the ordinations of delight
which came to her through the open
doors.
In productions Of a lighter charac-
ter, where to make the world laugh Is
each actors mission, there is usually
one big-hearted chap mot necessarily

joys playing Lord Bountiful and ses-
ing those around him in merry mood
He is apt 10 be popular with every one

engagements are set aside when he
issues invitations for a holiday spread.

Aud Lang Syne" before the meeting
broke up; when it was one show to one
manager instead of sixteen shows to
one manager; when the company joy
fully contributed toward the purchase
of an impossible silver service for the
manager, or a gold watch, heavily
weighted with their good wishes in
engraved characters.
But now the manager is accessible
only to his stars, and then only on
matters of importance. Between him
and the people who interpret his plays
rises the barrier of a large executive
force, assistant managers and clerks
And If this luminary were to receive
Christmas token from some unso-
phisticated ingenue on his pay roll, he
would probably turn to one of his nu-
merous stage directors and ask who
the young woman was.
| Social Lines Curb the Days Spirit.
Something of this same spirit reigns
in the midst of company of fashion
able New York players. The star as
well as the manager, feels that II is
more important for his well-balanced
company to draw dollars into the box
office than to take up subscriptions
for Christmas gift. Between star
and minor members of his support
the relations are similar to those ex-
isting between a shopkeeper and his
clerks. II is purely a business propo-
sition.
Social lines are now drawn quite
stictly among stage folk too. We
have our old stage families like the
Drews, who have the entree into So
oiety and whose stage work is largely
matter of business. The successful
stars now have their town houses,
their country homes, their yachts,
their coaching or automobile tours,
and when a holiday comes such as
Christmas, they spend IL, not with
their stage associates, but with their
families and their friends in the world

JOHN BEST IN LUCE.


The Colorado Springs Gozette OF Sept.
3 says. fine property from which good
reports are now being received is the Zoe,
owned almost entirely in this city. John
Best, Of Denver. an old Gilpin county op
orator and one Of the best known mining
men in the state, is operating the prop
erty under lease which has still some
thing like two years to run. Mr.. Best
is pursuing systematic development and
is also shipping, these shipments going
out every few days, and returning excep-
tionally good values. The royalties are
being steadily received at the offices OF
the company in this city and il they con-
tinue will place the Zoe in a position OF
strength. The acreage Of this company
is small, consisting mainly OF town lots in
the town Of Arequa. Under the present
system Of management and as a result of
the persistent development beiag done
by the lessee the Zoe bids fair to become
a steady shipper. There have been no
new discoveries, the ore shipped being
that encountered in pushing out the
levels. .
