After seeing e. S. Willard in the role Of
Prof. Goodwillie or David Garrick 1t would
be hard for one to believe that he made
his debut and his FIRST success as an actor
In the role Of a heavy villain. In speaking
about his earlier career. during his engage
ment here last week, he. said: II had the
fortune. or misfortune, to make my first
appearance in London as q villain, a cold
blooded, cigarette-smoklng villain. / awoke
the next morning to ind myself. not so
much famous. as Infamous. and from that
moment London determined that l should
play nothing else but the villain. And ap-
parently the English playwrights deter
mined that / should always be the same
villain. My London manager determined
that no piece should be produced, II he
could possibly help IL unless l played the
villain In It. There was much competition
among the managers for my services as a
villain and as a villain only. Every post
brought me letters from gentlemen who
had written plays-I believe every man in
the world has written q play-the leading
part in which was specially suited to me,
that leading part. / need scarcely tell you,
was q villain. The professional papers, In
criticising q play or speaking Of Its pro-
duetion. gave up altogether denominating
the wicked man as a villain. but called II
the willard part. I have today one or two
advertisements cut from papers in which
provincial actors informd managers that
they were at liberty for juvenile lead,
light comedy or willard parts. 1t was In
vain that l told managers that in the
provinces ! had played Dan1 Peggoty and
Charles Surface. and that I really could
act II they would only give me an oppor-
tunIty 10 show IL. No. they determined that
! should be lifted. and 90 / had to suffer.
All / could do was to try and d~iierentiate
my villains as much as possible and l got
a certain amount Of qualification by alb
sorbing myself absolutely in my work, sink
ing my own Identity. and by this means
making each villain as unlike the preceding
one as possible. though outwardly he was
bound to be much the same as the dram
atist could always put him in the same
evening dress. In this effort / gather from
reading the criticisms OF my performances
in the London press-from which no mar
ever received more kindness than was ex-
tended to me-tha / was tolerably sue.
~eessful. During all this time. strange t.
say, l was becoming popular. a thing almos

any longer; otherwise. in a few years

Without disparaging In the slightest de-

mains that a greater than he appeared In

in June. l think It was. in the Boyd

way commensurate with his worth.

ability to stand upon. He is a born genius.
His countrymen, the Bohemiaps, may be
proud of him. l only wish he were an
Irishmani But, poor fellow, he's unfor-
tunate in that he is being "circused" by
a management which is losing no money on

1t is a sad reflection upon our judgment
and good taste, that such methods should
be necessary in order to bring to great
prominence a musical genius.

My ~allusion to Ysaye is merely a re-
minder to those who are In the habit
Of maintaining what might be termed the
exclusive gush." II is unnecessary to for

lenges admiration. So should art Alas,
for those persons who, when they hear

In a recent Issue OF the Chicago Tribune
much space is given over to another dis
cussion of ''ragtime,' Just as though II
had not died a natural death. How shame
full to resurrect a corpse! The article ia
from the pen Of T.. p. Brooke, or rather,
as he now advertises. Thomas Preston
Brooke. The Tribune blandly informs US
that "Mr. Brooke's standing as q COM
poser Of popular music has given him a
voice to be heard on the subject"
Pursuing the somewhat abstruse word
ing of the sentence to It's utmost, I think
1 can see what the Tribune means. but
do not feel so convinced as to Mr.. Brooke's
musical standing.
Mr.. Brooke. however, says some good
things, unintentionally.
For instance, in his defense Of ragtime
he says latter chasing those opposed t.
ragtime as ''long-haired musicians" 4
splendid logic, indeed:
Darwin says: Music was known anC
understood before words were spoken" ant
/ believe that ragtime existed In the lower
animals long before the advent OF man.
Now, is not this exactly what the anti.
Iagtimeists have known, and is II not on,

fad? They saw an It the germs Of degen,
Grafton and they cried with a mighty vote,
against returning to the music. the tastei
and the habits of our ancestors" Shall
