LIFE ON THE STAGE.
cal Career Is Rarely More
Than Ten Years.

A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming of a new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact, says the Chicago Tribune,
does not apply so aptly to stars and
stage people who dominate in the pro-
fession, for the life of these, so far as
the public is concerned. is usually
somewhat longer. But with the rank
and file-those who never rise higher
than the level of minor roles - ten
years is about the limit of endurance.
After having served before the public
for that length of time without doing
anything sufficiently meritorious or
novel to attract unusual attention the
actor or actress, as rule, passes away,
in so far as the profession is concerned,
and a new crop is harvested among the
many anxious recruits on the waiting
list to fill the depleted ranks.
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent of reaping finan-
cial returns from their labors are bet
ter qualified to ''size up" the situation
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain long
er than ten years in the business. They
either achieve distinction-although
this is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, so far as they are direct
ly concerned. offers practically no OPP
portunitieS for advancement. For this
reason the rank and file of the profess
sion is constantly changing. and the
popular idea "once an actor always an
actor" is easily disproved.
1t is the office of the theatrical agent
the man who mediates between the
stage people and managers-that pre-
sents the truest phase of stage life. In
this little clearing house, where talent
is the standard of consideration, the
mask is removed, and everything goes
for just what it is worth. BY reason Of
this fact those who manage the affairs
of stage people are better able to
judge of the vagaries and allurements
of the profession than persons on the
outside, and in their opinion ten years
is the average life of the person who
chooses the stage as profession.
This condition is more evident
among speciality people than among
those who adhere to the beaten paths
of Legitimate drama The latter field is
less eXhausting, because it is less
original than the former, and changes
from one line to another are more cas-
lily brought about. The stock and trade
of men and women on the variety stage
is originality, and when this endow-
ment has been exhausted the resources
of the person cease unless he has sue

Then the round. brown, freckled face
of small boy peeped over the rim of
the basket. A woman screamed and

boy of Elwood. Kan. went sailing to-
ward the zenith alone in a slender
basket, swinging by four taut cords,
with the upward sweeping bulb of yell
low silk lifting him beyond the sound
of voices and into the measurelsss
space where the winds are free and the
world is but a silver-striped ball of
green and yellow.
"When | looked over the edge of that
basket" said Superintendent Emmett,
telling the story Yesterday: 81 didn't
realize that | was going up. For five
minutes or more il seemed to me that
the earth had suddenly dropped down
ward into space. ! heard my mother
scream and was vaguely convinced that
she had felt the earth dropping under
her and was frightened. 1t didn't oc-
cur to me that l was in danger. I
rather felt that l was lucky to be in a

and selfshly chuckled at the thought
that I. at least, wouldn't be in the

"The only breeze ! felt seemed to
come straight down from above. I
dropped my cap out and it fell like a

and the earth was standing still, doing
business in the same old place. For a
quarter of an hour the ground below
me looked like a concave basin. The
horizon seemed like the high outer
rim. and below me. so far that the peo-
pie looked like small bugs, was the
bottom of the hollow dish. To the

ceeded in building up a reputation
which he can live on after he ceases to
be drawing card with the public.
The theatrical agent is brought
into touch with both sides of the shift
ing life of the stage. He meets an en-
thusiastic raw recruit" one minute
and the next turns to face an actor
or actress who has outlived his or her
stage usefulness and is searching dill
gently for an engagement. The agents
life is, in fact, a better drama than the
average stage production. and he has
enough comedy thrown in to relieve
the monotony. And there is a good
deal of comedy about a theatrical ex-
change, and comedy goes.
The sole business of the theatrical
exchange is to supply attractions to
managers for every kind of show, and
as most speciality people are under con-
tract with one agent or another dur
ing the season this is done with as
much system as prevails in well-regu-
lated banking institution. Whole pro-
grammes are made up by the agent
as a manager is required to do but one
thing-sign a check covering the cost.
The price of complete performances
ranges from $3.50 to $1,15O, not includ-
ing transportation expenses, which the
manager is required to pay.
Individual acts are naturally rated
according to the ability and popularity
of individual actors. Speciality people
draw much higher salaries than those
engaged in legitimate work, but, even
at that, they are admittedly underpaid
considering the character of some of
their acts. For instance, a woman will
stand against a board and allow a
man to hem in her body with sharp
knives, thrown a distance of Is feet
for $40 day Oist price,, and two
knockabout comedians will beat and
batter themselves numerically for
sos a day (list price,. This is a sample
of the salaries paid to men and women
who appear on the variety stage, vet
the market is overstocked with them
all the time.

They had been having a discussion
concerning the necessity or other
wise of purchasing new silk dress
in order to be on level with the De
Moneys next door. Banks had vetoed
the purchase on the ground of ex-
travagance and want of funds, and
his wife was much put out.

in his most conciliatory manner.
Her face had been like stale thun-j

as the sun dropped below the
sky line, shadows crept about it.
l saw, like stars reflected in the
water, the city's lights shining
dimly below. Soon the globe, down
upon which l gazed with fascinating
interest, lost all color. The pale lights
seemed to be swimming round and
round. But yet my balloon, still in the
suns half light, was luminous with a
pale yellow glow.
Il became fascinated with the
sparks of light and streaks of fiery
red that then began to glimmer and
flash in tiny lines and ares upon the
earth. Sometimes a muffled roar like
that of thunder and then the crack
of lesser noises would reach my ears,
and | began to fancy that l was far
above the clouds and was looking
down upon a miniature thunder
storm. But finally | remembered
that it was the Fourth. and then |
knew that the disturbed area upon
which l saw so many little darling
lights was st. Joe and it's evening

and bombs. They all seemed very
trifiing and pitiful to me then, and

contempt for so small a thing as a

MUSIC FOR THE CORONATION.
Prize offered for March to BE Played
When EnElands King Is
Crowned.

In the temporary absence of Sir
Frederick Bridge, from London he has
been employing his time, with Sir Wal
ter Parratt, master of the kings mu-
sic, in making a preliminary selection
among the $50 or so of scores that have
been submitted for the prize of so
guineas offered by the Worshipful
Company of Musicians for a corona
ton march, and it is expected that the
work of the fortunate winner will be
performed at the great ceremony in
June.
At present very little has been done,
however, with regard to the selection
of music for the stately rite, though it
may be pointed out that certain hymns
and canticles have esta blished them
selves as a part of the office. This is
notably the case with the hymn ''Veni
Creator Spiritus, which appears in the
service of the Liber RECALLS of Richard
H.. or even earlier, though it has had
some curious variations of rendering
at the different coronations. At that
of Charles |. the form used was a
rather more archaic translation than
the second one, to be found inthe ordi-
nation service, in common meter. In
the coronation order of James II. the
hymn appears in Bishop Cosin's coup
let form exactly as it stands in
the ordination service now, and ia
miliar to all churchgoers at Whitsun-
tide to an ancient Sain song.
Both at the coronations of William
and Mary and Queen Victoria several
verbal variations were introduced, and
at the latter the extremely singular
choice of Pelham Humphreys Grand
Chant" was made for the tune" to
which it was sung. Its place in the serv-
ice is before the amounting, and the SOW
ereign kneels at the fald stool while it
is being rendered. Even older is the
TIE Deum in the service, which is to be
found in an eleventh century manu-
script at Cambridge, representing
probably the office used for William
the COnquerOr, though in the earliest
services it came at the commencement,
whereas in later ceremonials it appears
before the enthronization and homage.
At Queen Victoria's coronation. saws
the London Telegraph, no fewer than
five anthems were sung. but with the
exception of ''Zadok, the Priest" which
has always been sung since the corona
ton of Charles l., and the eighty-ninth
Psalm since that of James H., it would
seem that some latitude has been per-
mitted in this matter, and the last
solemnity concluded with the "Halle-
lujah" chorus. Owing to the great
length of the service, especially when
queen consort is crowned also, it is
deemed probable that some reduction
in this number will be made when the
office is finally drawn up in all its de-
tails
