VAUDEVILLE EXPERIENCE


Lizzie Evans believes that her five years past experience, playing sketches in the vaudeville theatres have been of ihoalculable benefit to her as a legitimate actress. She believes that her experience while appearing in thirty minute sketches has improved 10 ripeness her gifts as an entertainer in dramas of three hours du- ration.
 Miss Evans started her career on the stage when young girl, contemporaneous with Minnie Maddern, now Mrs. Fiske. and others, at the time when Lotta and Maggie Mitchell were in the ascendant. Miss Evans was in great favor through out the land in such plays as "Fogg' s Ferry six years ago. Her career in the drama was suddenly arrested by the vau- deyille managers tempting offer to ap- pear in short plays before their audi enees. The drawing quality of her name and reputation as an actress of efferves- cent methods helped materially 10 fill the theatres This season Miss Evans will be back in the drama again, heading her own company In the pretty New England play, "Cozy Corners" Besides the splen- did renumerative results of her vaudeville experience she thinks that she has bene- fited artistcally thereby.
 T learned to be resourceful. to grasp opportunity, and to pay a closer regard to detail than l ever before thought was necessary" Miss Evans has said. When

one considers that only from twenty to thirty minutes, at the longest, is allotted on the vaudeville stage in which to make your hit with the audience. the fact Is plain that an artist is taxed 10 his every resource. In play of three acts or more. covering an entire evening, an actress who could not in that time score time and again with her audience ought to be counted down and out. Vaudeville audi ences are restless, and not satisfied un- less one scores point many times in the course of a half hour sketch as would satisfy an audience during a three act drama. One therefore has to be constant ly on the alert. and ready to change the methode of stage business or the read Ing of line at q moments notice. Scarcely any two vaudeville audiences are alike in mood For that reason one has to keep sparring continually with his or her wits to make the acting fit the tenn per of the entertainers. constant practice at this sort of thing has opened my eyes to the fact that when l was playing full evenings drama l earelessly overlooked a great many details"
 In a play where the attention of the au- dience Is divided between two or more persons on the stage. any one of these, at times. can cease acting. Not so before q vaudeville audience. The moment yon cease to do something that amuses then you are lost The audience in the "con- tinuous' theatres are made up of the same class of people who at other times will be found in the dramatic houses. In- teligently they average as well and are quicker by far to see the point of witt cism.

From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 The dress reform promised for a sea- son or two by the bicycle and golf seems finally to have failed. There was at one time good hope that the trouser, the most ungainly and irrational and ridiculous ar ticle of apparel ever devised. was about to "go." The nineteenth century saw the introduction of it. We do not recall any instance in portraiture of it's appearance before the year 1900. Washington and his contemporaries, like the Captain bold of Halifax" wore "regimental small clothes," a decent and cleanly garment, which did not draggle and accumulate mud, and which, combined with boots for rough riding, or with pumps for occa- sions of ceremony left nothing to be de- sired. Thomas Jefferson, we believe, wore trousers, and was one of the pioneers of that hateful practice.
 The trouser somehow came to be re- garded as a symbol of democracy in the carly days, possibly because it reduced all human legs, shapely or unshapely, to the same level of ungainliness The con- temporary populst, as he looks on great cid Bryan, sloping slowly to the west.
 
 and brooches And yet Mir. Bryan has presentable legs, and would cut more dignifed figure in garments that should reveal their comeliness. But evidently it would be his political ruin to wear so sensible a thing.
 The abolition of the trouser is the chief desideratum for a rational summer cos- tune for men. It seems that that de- srable consummation is indefinitely post poned The men of 1896 and 1897 who bold ly wore brooches and bicycle stockings to their places of business would not this year venture to be seen in them, except when actually astride of wheel if even tlen But the next desderatum. the soft shirt" is gaining in favor, the philan- thropist may rejoice to note. Starch is the chief enemy of human comfort in warm weather. No man can be comfortable in- closed in a stiff circumvallation of starch cd linen. The soft flannel shirt, once

REASONS WHY TROUSERS

known as "Crimean.' is an ideal summer envelope which. however, requires some courage to wear. As Lowell said 1t takes a hero to walk down Piceadilly in a slouch hat at the height of the London season. But the haberdashers now exhibit confee- tions of unstarched cotton which reconcile comfort with convention, and ill which the most timorous of mortals need not fear to be seen.
 Nobody whose festival occasions take him about New York can have failed to remark. with a touch of envy, that the most rationally dressed human brothers he encounters are the Chinamen. And what the Chinaman wears are simply the "pajamas" in which no Caucasian would dare to be seen outside of his bedroom. It is true that the Chinaman so far truckles to custom as to adopt the trous- CT, or the drawer. to the despair of sculptors. insomuch that we have not heard of any yearning on the part of any sculptor to model any laundryman. But, race prejudice being laid aside what an admirable summer costume it is that the Mongol sports. loose, easy flowing, en- tirely decent and with not a trace any where of the starch which Is the chief ingredient of his trade. He sinks the shop in his private habillments When we have the courage to initiate the Mongol in his summer dress we shall be far more com fortable and far more intrinsically re- spectable than we are now.
