A Heartless Prima Donna.
From the Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record
''Adelina Patti" said an aged Philadel-
phian, came to this city when she was
eight years old She was born in Spain
in Madrid-and her public career began at
the age of seven. 1t began, understand,
in Philadelphia, and 1t was in Philadelphia
that she made her first appearance before
royalty, singing in Martha at the Acad-
envy Of Music during the sojourn here of
the Prince of Wales. The programs on that
occasion were elaborate enough. They
were of satin, with fringe of gold lace.
Patti was great business woman. She
made sums Of money that have not been
equaled since by any singer I'll tell you a
story indicative Of her ability as a finan-
Mapleson, and her contract was for $1,000
a night. Everything went well. but on a
certain day in Boston Mapleson was short
Of cash. It was PATHS dictum that she
must get her $1,000 on the afternoon OF
every singing day. This afternoon, when
the manager could produce only 81. 1000, her
secretary went away in great indignation.
He vowed his mistress would not sing.
But later on he returned and got the
$4,000. That nights opera was 'Traviata,
and the secretary said Patti would come to
the theater and dress for the part Of Vio-
letta, all but the shoes. She would put her
shoes on and appear when the extra $1,000
was forthcoming.
"She did this At T:3O o'clock she sat in
her dressing room in her stocking feet. all
prepared otherwise to go on. Mapleson by
this time had taken In $500: and he sent 1t
back to her. She returned him word that
she would now put on one shoe.
"At o'clock another $500 lot Of tickets
had been sold. The money went to Patti.
And she Immediately put on the other shoe,
and at the proper moment, smiling and
bowling, advanced toward the footlights in
an uproar Of cheers and applause. They
say If the full $1,000 hadn't been forth
coming she wouldn't have appeared"

play as it does to be good at anything

play as it does to be good at anything
difficult. .
There are publics and publics, and 1t
strikes me that the situation Is like this:
The majority Of people who attend Inc
theater do so with the idea or DelnS
amused, and that which causes the most
laughter appeals to them most strongly.
The public which applauds the broader and
more forcible fun Is more numerous than
that which relishes quieter forms of humor.
Therefore, comedians who achieve the
broad effects have a more numerous. II
less esthetic, following. There always will
be a following for the skillful player, what
ever line he may take up.
The average man who comes to tneaser
the average banker or business man
doesn't care for subtleties or the so-called
art of the stage He wants the broad
effects And the player who appeals to him
by means of these broad effects may be
every bit as ckillfui the actor who deals
with the finer emotions and the intricacies
Of feeling.
Bernhard places tragedy above comedy
because she holds that a clown may make
a countryman laugh, while it takes heart
knowledge and intellectually to make that
rustic cry.
But 1 hold that when man plays
tragedy he is more nearly his natural self
as he faces the trials of daily life-for life
is tragedy. The man who plays comedy
goes beyond himself and puts an antic dis
position on. Therefore his skill as an actor
is greater than the tragedian's. Sounds
logical, doesn't it?

Song That Came High.

From the St. Louis Republic.
Charles Burnham, reached down in the
grab-bag of his memory the other night
and brought up Just another story Of John
Stetson.''
"At the Globe. IL Boston, during Stet-
sons management" he said, I'VE had Clara
Louise Kellogg for a night, and when the
count-up was over found that there was q
loss Of just $3.50 on the guarantee that had
been promised to the singer. went back
to Miss Kellogg's dressing room and hand
ed her the money. and when she heard how
bad the house was she said:
see Mr.. Stetson Is sitting In his box.
and wish you would kindly tell him that
l would like to sing any song he will sug-
gest. just to make up in q way for what
he has lost on me-
Il reported what the singer had said to
Stetson, and he was really pleased at her
thoughtfulness. Just tell her to sing
Home. Sweet Home he said, and 1 did
SO.
LAS the last note of the song died away
Stetson leaned back In his chair, showed his
hands In his trousers pockets. and. with a
seif-satisfied smile and few unmention-
able words as trimmings remarked:
Well. I reckon I'm about the only man
alive that ever paid $3.50 to hear Home
Sweet Home"

The Seriousness Of Glowing.

Francis Wilson In the Chicago Record Herald.
Laughmaking is serious proposition. II
one could know the time. thought and labor
devoted to building up scene or situation
so that almost instantaneously by word or
action the humorous side Is conveyed to an
audience, he would realize that the funny
fellow Of the stage has devoted hours and
perhaps years OF patient industry to his
trying art.
1t has been the custom not to consider
really seriously the doings Of the comedian.
especially in comic opera and musical com.
edy. and time and again his endeavor to
create laughter by certain exaggerated &C.
lions has been called horse play and dis
missed without his being given credit for
thought in the matter. As a matter of fact
he probably has devoted hours Of rehearsal
studying the cause and effect Of certain
methods in order to arrive at the one that
will tickle the risibles OF his audience and
stiil be in keeping with the scene and the
character. So-called horse play always
will hold the center Of the stage. because
there always will be q demand for It. 1t

A Stubborn Man.
I'm the Pittsburg Gazette

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
Digby Bell was reviving memories OF his
starring tour in Jupiter" for the benefit
of some Of the people in the "Mr. Pick
wick company recently. 1t seems that
Mr. Bells manager at the time had an
irritating way of forgetting to pay salaries
when business was bad. There was a Ger
man In the company playing a character
part, and one night he refused point-blank
to go on unless his money was forthcoming.
The manager persuaded him to make
up and go on, after having given his SOL
emn word that the salary would be paid
Immediately after the performance When
the "show" was over the German waited
patiently in his dressing room for some
time, and the manager not showing up. he
sent for him. The impresario arrived at
length and informed his comedian that
owing to the fact that his box Office had
been attached It would be utterly impossi-
BILE for him to comply with his request.
The German was furious and turned pale
beneath his makeup. Finally, in voice
OF thunder, he exclaimed:
If you don't pay me my salary now, on
the spot, I refuse to wash up and go
home"

This was on realizing by recent buy
ers. 1t was not to be expected that
the rise would be continued without
many setbacks. and profit-taking NAV
be looked for on all bulges. The Iiv-
erpool market was doing very well
when we opened, and the situation on
the whole was strengthened by a very
bullish report issued by the Journal of
Commerce, from which it appears that
the crop has deteriorated s per cent.
since last month. This, however, was
anticipated and made little impression,
but forecast for rain, snow and freez-
ing weather in the Southwest made
shorts very nervous and the market
moved UP briskly. There was an alb
rupt withdrawal of sellers everywhere
and prices began to climb all along the
line. Best people were convinced that
the crop prospects was daily growing
worse, and that the outcome may be a
disaster. Receipts at ports to-day 63.
900, against 50. 900 last year. Liverpool
prices rose IL to Is points. Cloths at
Manchester were hrmer. The New York
stock has gone off to $4,000 bales, and
the short interest is so large that be-
levers in IL cent. cotton are quite con-
fident that the figure will be reached.
