owed his success to his first wife, Min

A LAYMAN's SUGGESTION.
Why Shouldn't the Manned be EN-
ploYed to Play Cripple Parts.

It is not recorded that the management
the suggestion. but the following letter IL
illustrates the curious things that some
times filter into the theatrical mans mail
while tour:
Manager Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch, Opera House;
cleveland, o., Nov. Z, 1903.-Dear Sir:
In the part of Chris Hazy, Mr.. Granville
has to suffer to make himself a cripple
Why torture actor like that when act
ors can be engaged to play such parts
without torture? In Cleveland there are
three actors to the writer's knowledge
who have had to have amputations, and
are now cripples thrown upon the world.
No engagements for them. Still, there are
plenty of parts they could play. Why
do not the managers engage such people
for parts they can play? Tom Halpine
left leg amputated: Tom Mcclure, right
leg amputated. They are vaudeville peo-
pie, think, and sing and dance; and
j. K. Murphy, character actor, left leg
amputated. You and other managers
should think of the above people when
in want of people for cripple parts. Yours
truly, c. H. SMITH

expect any earth born woman to I'M
derstand any heaven-born genius, but
it is certain that Minna Planer under
stood Richard Wagner better than
Cosima Buelow did. To Minna Planer,
the crown of womanhood," belongs
the credit of the development of Wag-
ner's genius; and not to the autocratic
mistress of Bayreuth, who has coined
a huge fortune out of her husband
memory, using an absurd fetichism to
further her ends and aping many of
her deceased husbands least lovely
traits.
Daudet has in his Artists Wives a
little skit upon 1.-The Widow of a Great
Man" which fits the case of Frau Cos
lna- She became intensely convinced
Of her departed husbands genius, and
intensely concerned that everyone
should pay homage to it by a pilgrim
age to Bayreuth. Singers had to lay
their visiting cards upon the masters
grave, but Frau Cosima herself took
care Of the box office receipts.
The Bayreuth Festspielhaus was
QUILT by Wagner because the stage ar
engagements of most theaters were then
inadequate to proper production of
his works. Now that a score of opera
houses surpasS that at Bayreuth in
scenic equipment. the principal reason
for Bayreuth'S existence has vanished
The sentimental reason, that Wagner
wished ''ParsifaP' to remain at
Bayreuth, rests upon rather a f1imsy
parts of the ''ParsifaP' score to be per-
formed elsewhere, but Frau Cosima
says this does not count, because he
needed the money. Eight years ago
Herr Conried offered her a large sum
for the American rights of "Parsifal."
and his offer received serious consid-
Grafton. But Frau Cosima did not need
the money, or thought she saw more
in sight, and so she remembered that
Wagner wished "ParsifaT' to remain
at Bayreuth. It was a master stroke
to perpetuate the Wagner dynasty and
create a corner in Wagnerian music.
The Wagner trust received the first
blow when a theater like that at Bay
reuth was built in Munich, and now
another blow will be given by the pro-
duction of 4Parsifal'' in New York. The
German Wagnerites who protest
against the production would be of
another mind if Wagner had accepted
Chicago's offer, and built his festival
theater there, and the Windy City
claimed the sole right to the Masters
harmonies. Frau Cosima may rave,
but Wagner himself. if the news
reaches him in the Elysian fields, will
be well content to have the boundaries

mere factory girl in a New England
town to the salon of a French countess
is a far cry and calls for the most YER
satile work Miss Osterman has yet at
tempted; yet she fu1f1lls every require
ment admira bly,. Perhaps her best
work is in the ballroom scene, when,
as the countess, she receives the adu-
lation of those who in the past had
been her chiefest and most merciless
prosecutors. Her costuming of the part
is elaborate and she forms not the least
interesting of several very beautiful
stage pictures.
"A company of sufficient ability
gives support to Miss Osterman, al
though to the title role is given al
most the entire responsibility for the
production. Care Is given to the de-
tails of staging and one scene partic-
ularly, that of the cabin of the good
ship Harpoon, is admirably conceived.
Good character sketches are given
by Frank Levarnie as Capt Joel
Stewart" and Charles R. Burrows and
Frederick L Power as the sailor GRO

10 POUND VILLAIN.

We'll said Mcintyre, with a look on

playing down in Dallas, Tex. Various
plays We're being on, with variety turns
as bits of reStfulness between the acts
On this occasion the play was The Jib-

with Proctor playing the title role, the
heavy man of the company was taken
i'll. The manager was in despair, for he
had no one to put into the part Final
ly they decided to get a recruit from
the variety ranks for the part, and 1
was chosen. I only weighed ITO pounds
then, and when [ made my entrance to
carry off the heroine the audience began
to litter. AS I grabbed her I spoke the
line, Consent to be mine, or down yOn
boiling cataract I'll hurl three to de-
struction,' at the same time dragging
the heroine toward bridge that crossed
the imginary torrent. I had Just heard
a chorus of Good heavens go up from
a crowd of drummers in the front row,
and was waiting for the laugh that was
to follow when suddenly the bridge
gave way and the heroine and 1 were
thrown through a trap. That ended
my legitimate work for the night, and
again. But don't tell Henry Irving I
said So"
