scene. Why do you do this? Your others
we're not pressed. This Is not a satisfac-
tory excuse and IL 1t occurs again you
will be fined for the offense. BY the way,
Miss c., you lost two laughs that you
have been getting all season in this scene.
Can you give me some good reason for II?
No, you cannot. Well, l will tell you;
you were not in the scene from the time
you came onto the stage. Your mind was
somewhere else than on your work. You
were speaking your lines mechanically.
Don't ever let this occur again under
penalty Of your two weeks notice. and
so on the reheasal went for nearly two
hours, each scene in all Of the four differ
emit acts being taken up separately. The
players were not the only ones called upon
for explanations, but the property man, the
electrician and all Of the other attaches
came in for criticism on some one point
or other. After 1t was over, although some
harsh words had been spoken, Mr.. Blumen-
thai called the company together and
thanked them for their attendance and at
~tention, thereby showing that nothing but
the most pleasant harmony existed in the
organization.
Behind the scenes during a performance

the players are in their dressing rooms at
1880 until the final curtain drops" con-
tlnued Mr.. Blumenthal in his interesting
conversation. "No one is allowed to leave
his or her dressing room until the act is
called by the stage manager. No one Is
allowed to have visitors in their dressing
rooms, neither is anyone outside the men,
bers Of the company and the attaches OF
the stage allowed behind the scenes during
a performance. OF course, these are gen
eral rules followed in almost every well
regulated company, but l have never seen
them so rigidly enforced or generally re-
spected as they are in Miss Bingham's COM
panies. These things may seem trifing de-
tails, but they all help to make an ensemble
that is as nearly perfect as It can be, and
therein lies the success of this remarkable
woman, whom l feel sure will win an en-
viable position in the managerial world
before much more time passes"
Marian Garioux, whose character study OF
the wealthy social aspirant. Miss Godesby,
was one Of the most pleasing features OF
the performance of The Climbers" is max
ing preparations to head a company of her
cwn in a starring venture during the season
Of 1904. Miss Garioux is remembered by
Omaha theater-goers as having appeared in
leading parts here with Nat Goodwin. Will
lie Collier In THE Man from Mexico" and
why Smith Left Home" She was also
with De Wolfe Hopper for a time in comic
opera and is the possessor Of a splendid
voice as we'll as ability as a legitimate
actress. So successful was she in comic
opera that Mr.. Hopper made every effort
to induce her to continue in that line OF
work, but as her aspirations were higher
she abandoned It for the drama. In which
she had a broader field to display her YER
%satility. She was Ill for more thai a year
and after her recovery left the stage ia
take up the study Of surgery. which she fol-
lowed for some time. Finally overcome by
her desire to become a famous actress she
returned to the stage again, entering Miss
Bingham's company to play the part in
which she Is at present gaining additional
fame and high tribute from the press
throughout the country. Miss Garioux Is
possessed of a personality that together with
her ability can hardly fail to win success
for her and an enyiable position in the
stellar ranks Of the theatrical profession.
