CLOSE At THE 0RpREUM
ELLEFORDS TERMINATE
A SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Play Continuously for Six Weeks to
Good HOuSes---Leave on Ala
media 10 Return Next
Year to Honolulu.

The close of the engagement of the
Ellefords at the Orpheum last night
brought to an end n very successful
engagement for the company. II is not
too much to say of the Ellefords that
they have won a recognition in Homo
lulu that insures them good business
whenever they see fit TO visit this city.
Until the first visit of the Ellefords one
year ago no company had ever been
able to play an engagement OF four to
six weeks in this city and that, too, TO
good houses every night throughout the
season. Yet this is what the Ellefords
did last year and they repeated that
happy experience in the long engage
ment Just closed. Despite other attrac-
lions of a local nature. there was never
night throughout the engagement OF
six weeks but what the company was
greeted by a good house and on ma
jority of the nights the IS. Il. o" sign
was out by S o'clock.
With the exception of Frederick

naced company appear IN oHnolulu as
the Ellefords. While the people In
the company are not great actors and
actresses they are all good ones, and
the result Is a good, clean and we'll
balanced performance. And 1t requires
good actors to play such an extensive
repertoire as the Ellefords have pro-
duced during their present engagement
in Honolulu. They have produced
during their present engagementnun
plays ranging from Faust" TO Nut
meg Match" from "The Grid Left
Behind Me" to THE Plunger," and
have given such plays as The Man of
Mystery, THE World, The Octoroon"
THE Bankers Daughter" Fire Pa
troll" Flag OF Truce" Little Lord
Fauntleroy," and several others. It
takes people Of no mean talent to pro-
duce three plays week Of the order
named. And no performance was ever
sighted throughout the engagement,
nor did people find the company at
tempting to put on play improperly
rehearsed.
How well the company pleased may
be cited by the fact that the Elleford's
production OF Faust" was far superior
TO the production of the same play by

A SHORT RANGE VIEW
 OF FRANK R, STOCKTON,

l found out great deal that I never had known myself about the mystery. The most urgent suggestion was that I had better quit writing stories. The contro- versy got into the country debating so- cieties, and the story as well as the au- thor was torn to shreds. Mystery is the most desirable element in a story. As long as the mystery can be rationally sustained you are sure of the reader s attention. It must be carefully han dled, however, or what the writer be- lieves to be a mystery will be as clear as the monday sun to everybody"
 When asked what is the mystery in "The Lady or the Tiger" the author re- piled, T really don't know which door opened
 The new vein of humor created bv MT. Stockton does not appear in all his works and when it does appear is not always successful. Perhaps as good an example as any of this peculiar vein is to be found in 'The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine.,' It would be interesting to watch the ex- pression of some editor whose ideas of literary excellence have been definitely fixed for years perusing without any preparation this string of absurdities. How could the author have had the assurance to offer it to a first class pe- riodical? Bosh Rot!" And he losses

it into the pile of declined manuscripts Indeed it is questionable if, without preparation, it would not have fallen flat before the public. There are many persons who after reading the authors productions for years are unable to grasp them for what they are intended. MT. Stockton has beautiful home in West Virginia, where he does most of his work. In summer he rises early, walks in his grounds and goes to work at 9 o'clock. He prepares himself carefully for the writing of his crea- tions and then dictates to a stenogra- pher. At first he attempted to compose rapidly in the rough and afterward re- wise his work, but found this plan un- satisfactory. It is therefore necessary that his anlanuensis be endowed with great patience, for Stockton often con- sunes several minutes in deciding upon the exact word he wants.
 MT. Stockton is one of the few an- thors whose popularity does not wane. His experience as an editor has doubt less enabled him to market his produc- tions remuneratively, and they have seldom been cheapened by unwfse forms of publication. His stories com mand as good a price as ever in the Iit- erary market. F. A. MITCHELL.

And yet this is not so remarkable as it would at first seem. A late veteran editor who was himself a successful author remarked that when an author creates a new field of literature he must create a taste for it. Such writ CT has a double difficulty to overcome. He must first pass the editors to get be- fore the public. Stockton was years passing the editors and might never have passed them had he not been fa- vored by his employers. While an ed itor for Scribner's~ he printed parts of "Rudder Grange in the magazine. Then he offered the work complete to one publisher after another. Finally he prevailed upon the Scribners tofpub- fish the book. It proved to be Stock toms first decided hit.
 :" Rudder Grange" it's author has said, was founded largely on my own experiences with one of the domestics of my own family. The canalboat was real, though we never lived in it. found Q family in just such 9 boat on the Harlem river, near HighbFidge. went up and spent several afternoons with them.

arrangements of tne abandoned boat were excellent An awning was extem- porized over part of the deck, and iE the cool of the evening what had shell tered the Rudder Changers from the heat kept off the falling dew. Theoret- ically it was an ideal life.'
 But tRudder Grange" while it gave the writer literary reputation, did not cause him to be generally known. A sudden introduction to the public came with a literary bit of which nothing was expected, a short story which most editors would be likely to decline on ac- count of what they would be pleased to regard as "an ambiguous ending" " The Lady or the Tiger left unan- swered question over which the world has ever since been Dondering. It was the exciting of this curiosity rather than the story's so called literary merit that advertised Stockton as an author. He has given the following account Of the writing and reaeption of the story:
 "A lady at Fran tn had an evening party. agreed t ell a story. I hit upon the two door laea from a place in my house where there are two doors adjoining each other. But I could not
 write the story to suit me, and after rewriting 1t five times I was less and less satisfied. In spite of all I could do apparently, the mystery obtruded itself too early in the story, thus foreshadow
 ing the climax. If the definition soms- times given of climax as being the point in a story or drama at which the reader ceases to read and begins to think be q good one, The Lady or the Tiger admirably fills the requirements

Stockton in his earlier days was on both sides the literary fence, as he was for many years both author and editor. A certain wag who once held these two positions was asked, What is the diff ference between them ?" He replied, ''The author is the person who writes the things. and the editor is the one who sends them back
 Stockton's initial story was called Kate" He sent it. he says, to every magazine in the country At last the editor of the Southern Literary Messen- ger received it and sent the author word that he couldn't afford to pay anything for it, but that if the author would write a second serial story for him he would pay $50 for it Stockton wrote the story and received the pay.
 After occupying various literary posts, Stockton found himself an as- sistant editor on the staff of St. Nicho- las. While there he devoted himself largely to writing fairy tales. At an- other period he was an editor on Scrib- ner's magazine-that Scribners which afterward became The Century. While reading the works of others he was himself continually writing The read ing of good, bad and indifferent pro- auctions is one of the most wearing of occupations and if carried on. too Inns- is liable to be destructive to one's fresh ness and originality, but a fair experi- ence in such field teaches the writer that if he is to succeed he must strike something beyond the ordinary Stock ton saw this and attempted to find a new vein. The productions he sent cslt into which he had breathed his orfei nality were not understood by the edi- tors and were promptly declined. More than this, the editors laughed in their sleeves at the man who had the' hardi- hood to offer such stuff. For years Frank Stoekton's manuscripts were the laughing stock of publishers.

 Author already of more than forty books, Frank Stockton is no longer in the freshness of his youth. or even of middle age, for he is now sixty-eight years old; yet his work appears to be endowed with a perennial juvenility that will ever charm the popular mind. Frank Stockton's literary career, in some respects unique, in others is siTni- lar to that of nearly every. successful author. He began by writing children's stories in 8 homely, realistic vein and ended by inventing a new kind of hu- mor.
