MR.. MANSFIELD AND HERR Won BU-
LOW.-Probably the best music criticism
ever written came from the pen of Richard
Mansfield. And with no impeachment of
modesty he could admit it, and would.
Before he rose to eminence as actor
Mansfield enjoyed genteel obscurity in Bos-
ton as a writer for the papers. The criti-
csm in question was a review of Hans Won
Bulow's first concert in which he played,
for the first time in Boston, Tschaikow
sky's concerto for the piano.
When Mansfield was detailed to criticise
this performance he was all but stampeded.
He was daring then as now, and he went
direct to Won Bulow. The great pianist
was stopping at the Bellevue apartments.
Mansfield found him at his piano Herr
Won Bulow,'' he said, I'm detailed to criti-
else your concert tonight. l feel entirely
unworthy to write anything in criticism of
you, and, for that Tschaikowsky con-
certo, I've never heard it, never have seen
note of the score and know simply moth
ing about it. Won't you help me out?"
Won Bulow grasped the young mans hand
and declared here was a critic he was glad
TO welcome. Have you paper? A pencil?
Yes? Then write" For nearly an hour the
great pianist talked about the concerto,
about Tschaikowsky, about his own inter-
probation and performance of the work,
while Mansfields fingers flew across the
paper. At the end he had the criticism of
one master on another. Next day Mans
fields review was the talk of musical Bos-
ton.
When Mansfield had finished this part
of his business, he fell to discussing music
with Won Bulow and directly went to the
piano to illustrate a point. where did
you learn all this about our art?" exclaimed
the pianist. From my mother, Madame
Ru6ersdorf," replied Mansfield. your
mother Madame Rudersdorf? Here? Come.
l would visit her l would visit a
shrine and Bulow was at the door.
Mansfield, afterward, in telling the story,
acknowledged the pride he felt in walking
cut into the street with the man every one
at the moment acknowledged as the king of
pianists. Mansfield and his mother lived
in an apartment house which stood on the
site of the present Touraine, and it was
only a step across the corner of the Com
mon but Mansfield, with human weakness,
took Won Bulow the long way. They went
Down Beacon street, across Arlington, and,
when they turned down Boylston, the bluff
cid artist turned on Mansfield. You wish
to be seen in the street with me- You are
taking me around the long way"
How well the two got on after this is
of the artist. Probably their fiinty tenn
pers struck fire. Anyway it was Mansfield
who afterWard said zone wants but lit
tie Herr Bulow, nor wants that little long"
A VERSATILE ACTOR.-The success

REFUSES TO BE BEAUTIFUL.-Miss
| Ethel Johnson is a Chicago girl and one of
the most important finds made by the Dear
! born Theater management of Chicago
| which controls many musical successes en-
! tour, including Richard earle in 1.-THE Ten
derfoot."
Two years ago Miss Johnson, then an in
experienced girl of seventeen, Joined the
chorus Of THE Burgomaster'' and created
| the character of the toughest tough girl,
well remembered here. She was next given
a place in THE Explorers" and figured
prominently in a speciality entitled THE
, Hotel Scrubwomen" These two chances
attracted considerable attention by the ex
cellency of her low-comedy makeup, and
the management devised part for her in
1.-THE Storks," which she made quite con-
| Spicuous by her excellent low-comedy work
and her ability as a dancer. In fact, her
success was so pronounced that she was
| Immediately placed under three years
contract and given one of the principal
female comedy roles in The TenderfoOt.'
Miss Johnson is considered one of the
most beautiful girls Of the company, ana
| when one stops to consider Miss Johnson
| in private life and Miss Johnson in stage
| land her art in makeup must be regarded
| as exceptional She acknowledges that she
would rather play part calling for ragged
attire at salary OF SO a week than role
requiring the wearing of gorgeous costumes
| which would enrich her weekly salary 500

Washington Talent.
OF special local interest are five prints
by Mr.. George Senseney, a former Wash
ington boy, who studied both at the Cor
coran School and with Mr.. Heimick. One
is a quaint moonlight scene on the out
skirts of a Spanish or italian village which
suggests a story of intrigue and adyen-
ture; two are genre studies. one of
French market woman at work, the other
single figure taken from a drawing by
Mr. Helmick, and the remaining two are

ton of having their surface broken by
thirty or more circles the size of a silver
quarter. which are drawn without apparent
purpose or reason, but which in reality rep
resent the pieces of the plate which were

stroyed
In the same case with the Ranaeln prints
is a large and elaborate etching by Edgar
Chahine. ''the great French engraver,
which. with another example, a market
scene. displayed IN an adjoining case, ably
testify to his right to that title. In both of
these prints color has been but slightly in
troduced. and the etching itself is almost
complete work. They may. indeed. be con-
sidered more after the manner of engraV-
ings than etchings. but Whatever be the
method. the result is eminently satisfac
tory. and the craftsmanship which is dis
played is as admirable as it is unusual.
The Japanese Method.
In quite a different vein are the color
etchings by Miss Helen Hyde. which are
TO be found in the first case to the right of
the entrance. Miss Hyde. it will be remem-

with q large collection of his color etch-

etchings by Helleu, which may be seen
nearby. For the past few seasons NJ.
FauI Helleu's portraits of women have
been the vogue abroad, occupying much
the same place in France that the famous
Gibson girl has in America, and being
equally as typical and superficial. They

little character or substantial merit. and
save as a novelty. are OF little value.
Among the landscapes excellent work is
shown. There is charming print by

ROMANCE OF HEARTS.
Custom of Their Separate Burial is not
Uncommon.

From TitBits.
The separate burial of hearts is not such
a singular occurrence as many readers may
be apt to suppose. History supplies US
with numerous instances.
When Richard the Lion hearted was NOR
tally wounded in the attack on the castle
of Chaluz he expressed a wish that his
body should be buried al the feet of his
father at Fontevraud. in token of his sor-
for the trouble and anxiety which
he had formerly caused him. But he be-
queathed his heart to the inhabitants of
Rouen as in acknowledgment of the faith
fulness of his Norman subjects. The some
what singular gift was gratefully accept
ed, and was honored with beautiful shrine
in the cathedral. This was destroyed in
1873, but about a century later the heart of
the famous Crusader was found inclosed
in leaden casket under the pavement of
the cathedral. 1t was replaced, but some
time later was again taken up and deposit
ed in the Museum of Antiquities, from
which it was in turn removed to a more
appropriate resting place in the choir of
the cathedral, where 1t now remains.
On the death of John Ballot, father of
that Ballot who opposed Bruce's claim to
the throne of Scotland, his widow ordered
his heart to be removed and placed in an
ivory casket. Although she survived her
never sat down to a meal without having
the casket beside her. In accordance with
her dying request the heart was placed on
her dead bosom previous to interment in
her own abbey, which was situated on the
banks of the NTH.
When the great Napoleon died in St
Helena his heart was removed in order
that 1t might be placed in a separate case
The doctor who removed it set it under
glass case in his bed room. During the
night he was startled by the sound of
breaking glass. and he just managed to
prevent a large rat from carrying off the
| heart to its hole. The heart was immedi-
ately placed in urn and secured in the
coffin beside the body.
There would appear to be some doubt as
to what became of Byrons heart after his
death. According to one account 1t was
lost in marsh in Greece under the follow
ing circumstances: AS is well known the
poet took a deep interest in the efforts
which the Greeks were then making to Sc
cure their freedom. His services were
highly appreciated by these people. and
solved to convey his body to England for
burial, We're requested to leave his heart
in Greece.
The wish was complied with, and the
precious relic was placed in a silver cas-
ket. Mesolonshi was besieged and when
| the Greeks saw the impossibilty of ward
ing off the attack a small party made a
desperate sally, carrying off the heart with
them. They were successful in cutting
their way through the Turkish army. but
We're soon compelled to conceal themselves
| in marsh, where the heart, which they
had tried so hard to save, was lost
