An amusing feature of the meeting was
the nervous manner displayed by many of
the candidates, who were about to be ush-

he can not speak, let out yells when
locked up that could be heard over the

On the other hand, the theatrical ~favorite
may make hay while the sunshine Of youth
and middle age shines and then, like Mis-.
Gilbert, settle down to a high-salaried old
age.
But from these statements il is not to
be inferred that the dramatic star amasses
more wealth than her operate sister, As
a rule the singer is of foreign extraction
and has the instinct of thrift strong within
her. She lives as simply as her manager
will permit and wastes little Of her annual
earnings on purple and fine linen, high
living and society. And when the public
will hear none of her she retires to an es-
tate in her native province and lives hap
PLY ever after.
The richest members of the theatrical
profession in America are Joseph Jefferson
and Lolita Crabtree. Lolita retired from
the stage years ago, but still draws money
from this source through her ownership
Of play houses. Joseph Jefferson own
apartment houses that yield enormous rem
tails in almost every large city in the
union and a plantation in Louisiana whose
estimated value is half a million. So eX-
tcnsive are his business interests off the
stage that he now employs a confidential
man to look after them.
Apartment houses are ~favorite invest
ment with theatrical folk. May Irwin has
recently erected a fine edifce of this sort
in the residence district of New York and
its rentals will prove sufficient to keep thi.
fun maker very comfortably should she
never return to the stage. At present she Is

better than Queen Fiametta' and which
is presumably shelved after a short life.
Viola Allen laid the foundation of her
wealth in THE Christian" and followed
this up with another money-maker, ''In
the Palace of the King From these two.
it is said, Miss Allen sailed down for
the proVerbial rainy day the sum of $780,
900. AS her new play, THE Eternal City, IS
also scoring, she will be pushed into the
front rank Of mOney-makers this season.
Virginia Harmed, now in her second sea-
son as a Frohman star, has found a money
maker in Iris and is raising her weekly
earnings close to the thousand mark.
Thanks to her success in Mistress Nell, ;"
Henrietta Crosman is also laying up gol-
den treasure.
The popular star takes no chances IN
the theatrical game. Manager and play
wright do this for her. In other words, II
she has established herself in public favor
and a new play fails, the public simply
snrugs it's shoulders and remarks: "Su \
bad judgment on the part of her manager!
Why didn't he select a more suitable We
hicle?"
And then the manager and the play
wright charge il up to profit and loss and
try again.
The playwright not only makes money
for himself, but puts money into the peck
cts of both manager and star. They both
need him, and if he fills the bill they are
quite willing that he should draw spanking
royalties. The percentage varies according
to the value OF the playwTight's nam" OF
Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-07

the bills and advertising matter. A man
who has scored one tremendous success is
in a position to ask his own price-and get
It.
Clyde Fitch today draws the heaviest
royalties OF any American playwright and
it is said that when his new plays are in
full swing his weekly income will pass the
five thousand mark.
To give some idea of what a success isl
worth TO a dramatist, Clyde Fitch already
has drawn in royalties from Lovers Lane"
$50, 400, and the play is drawing well again
this season. One of his earliest successes,
'"The Moth and the Flame, - has now reached
the point where it is let out to stock COM
panies at a weekly royalty. "The Climbers
is being toured under Amelia Bingham's
direction and a Clyde Fitch success is now
considered good for three straight seasons
on the road.
Among the new plays Mr.. Fitch will offer
this season are "The Flirt," written for
Amelia Bingham; 9Th Girl with the Green
Eyes" for Clara Bloodgood; "a Girl in a
Cage" with Sandol MiIliken in the leading
role, and Mary Mannering is already scor-
ing well in the Fitch comedy, The Stub
bornness of Geraldine"
Mr.. Fitch is a simple man and his pa
latial marble home in the metropolis is
presided over by his mother. He is fond
and artistic to a degree. His enemies say
that he is etfeminate; his friends say that
he is perfection-a model Of manners.
William Gillette comes second in point
of income among American dramatists. His
latest success, sherlock Holmes is be-
ing presented in six different languages,
and The Professor THE Private Secre-
tarv - tIInII H.. ~ -, 80 ., .
Service" still yield him a princely in
come.
A good play never loses it's usefulness.
Bronson Howard still draws royalties from
one of his successes, "Aristocracy," writ
ten twenty years ago, and which is regu-
larly revived by stock companies.
General Lew Wallace's royalties on ben.
Hur" are the largest ever drawn on a
single production and have passed the $780,
GOO mark.
J. J. McNally, who writes the frothiest
of vaudeville farccs, draws royalties bigger
than a cosmopolitan bank presidents sal
airy.

from a sudden and serious ill
ness.
The Rogers Brothers, from the laughter
of the public, have made enough money
to plunge heavily in real estate and will
have q bona fde interest in the new the
alter which is being built for them. Gus,
the elder of the two and who began his
business career as errand boy to a haber-
dasher, recently paid $3.50, 900 for an apart
ment house.
William II. Crane is a shrewd investor
in real estate, and Francis Wilson never
touches anything in the way of invest
ment on or off the stage, which is not a
sure thing" Wilson is what New Eng
landers would call near" for he wastes
none of his income on riotous living.
Corse Payton is one of the richest men
in the business, and every dollar has been
made in the popular-priced houses. "Ten-
twonty-thirty'' has been his tocsin, and
thanks to unique advertising and indomi-
table energy, he is now owner of two
Brooklyn theaters, a Boston house, and
innumerable stock companies. When hC
wants to please his wife, who has worked
faithfully at his side, he just losses her
the decd to a bit of metropolitan real
estate.
Mr.. Payton, while not exactly on a plane
with MIR, Mansfield, nurses his secret am
billions. Last year while in London he
was chatting with some English actors
conversant with his dramatic methods,
and he mentioned his ambition to play
the role of Hamlet" A jest that was not
devoid Of sarcasm was launched at this
, statement, to which the gentleman from
Brooklyn replied quietly:
INC, | may not be in Sir Henry Irving's
G class. but If l put on Hamlet, l can 10
something he cannot do-play II in my own
theater."
Maude Adams is undoubtedly the richest
| American woman on the stage today. Her

from 6 a. m. till 1870 p. m, when the top
was reached.
The descent was more perilous than the
ascent, as the b%roiling sun softened the
snow, which made the hold on the hard ice
beneath very precarious.
