MANSFIELD'S NEW PLAY
Sly Richard!

Sly Richard!
Mr.. Mansfield has been caught in the
act. While carefully explaining to the
world at large through the usual me-.
dunn that Ivan the Terrible" would be
the principal Offering in his repertoire
next season, he has secretly been ne
gotiating for the dramatic rights Of a
story now running in a magazine, with
the intention of giving the resultant
play an immediate production.
The story in question is The Sea
Wolfs' by Jack London, a newspaper
correspondent at present at the seat of
the Russo-Japanese war; The story.
tells of the adventures of a young
newspaper man who is wrecked on
steamship while crossing from San
Francisco to Oakland, and is picked up
by Danish craft.
The captain Of the latter Is Wolf
Larsen, and he seems to be about as
uncanny a villain as ever stood be-
fore the mast. He has penchant for
beating his crews into submission, and
at a roar of his voice the sailors quake
with fear. Yet he has one weakness
he will stop in the midst of any cruelty
to listen to reading of Hamlet" His
regard for the Danish prince represents
all the sentiment accumulated for
years In his system, and happily for the
newspaper man rescued from drowning
the scribe has once been a dramatic
critic, and knows his Shakespeare from
"The Tempest" to 1.-The Rap Of Lu-
crece."
Some rare discussions of Hamlet's
mental status, Ophelia's heartaches,
and the kings villainy ensue, and the
critic discovers a sure method Of max
ing direct appeal to the old sea dogs
tender spot.
The denouement is still in doubt, for
the story is running in serial form, and
the climax cannot be foreseen. But Mr..
Mansfield believes there is in Wolf Lar
sen the basis of a characterization
which would afford for his genius all
the opportunity of an Ivan, a Beau
Brummel or a Prince Karl. His en-
thusiasm has reached such bounds that
he has dispatched several lengthy
cable messages to the author in Japan
asking for the dramatic rights. The
author in turn has referred the matter
to his publishers.-NewY York Globe.

At eighteen Irving made his first
stage appearance as the Duke OF Or
leans in ''Richelieu" An Indifferent
duke the critics thought him. Another
year saw him at Edinburgh, in the
tneater where Charlotte Cushman and
Helen Faucit were to be his in
structors. At twenty-eight in 1865, he
was playing in London. "Pen years

OF the chief character which the actor
revealed"
In the thirtythree years since that
triumph what a banquet Of the drama

ences! Amid the Notifying circum-
stances attendant upon growing DID,"
SAID Lamb, lit is something to have
heard The School for Scandal in it's
glory" To live contemporaneously
with a great actor, to follow him from
"Richelieu' to "Becket" and through
the grand Shakespearean gallery
through Lear" and Hamlet" and
1.-The Merchant of Venice"-is to gain
liberal and profound acquaintance
with all that is best in the drama.
Those who lived in Booths genera
ton may deservedly be envied. Irving
has compensated lesser gifts of acting
with a stagecraft of rare originality
and elaboration. He first brought to
the players aid the accessories of su-
perb scenery and setting, the develop
ment of which has since exhausted the
resources of stage carpentry.
Perhaps 1t is not quite exact to say
that he found the stage pine and
denim and left 1t mahogany and silk
damask But the credit of its trans
formation from baroness to splendor is
largely his.

In retiring from the stage two years
hence, after half a century of active
life as an actor, Sir Henry Irving will
round out theatrical career of ex-
traordinary range and one comprising
a remarkable variety of roles, says A.
b. Kingsburg in the New York World.
When he left the Theater Royal at
Edinburgh at the end of his stage ap-
premiership he had played 900 parts.
What his record of roles now is is only
to be conjectured. Probably no i'm
portant actor of the present day has
represented so many diverse creations
of the playwright.

satility and of length of service, In the

could not join in the laugh which was
sure to follow. The steamboat stopped
at a landing to take on wood, and a
solitary passenger came aboard. The
newcomer was a tall, somewhat angu-
lar person, with a clean-shaVen, genial
countenance. Mr.. Taylor soon scraped
an acquaintance with him, conspicuous
Iy displaying a bunch of keys, among
which was a curious small implement,
the use of which no one could possibly
imagine. OF course, according to the
owners intention, the new passenger
asked politely:
EX@se me, sir, but what is that
thing you have in your hand?"
Mr.. Taylor gave his victim plenty of
rope, and when his curiosity was fully
aroused, the owner replied:

of mine. 1t IS used in extracting the

on April 21, 1879, that the Tivoli was

most important peace and arbitration
commission of the last decade, Judge of
the United States Court, and now regard

action, in compelling arbitration OF the
Anthracite strike, would have upon his
candidacy, said: "That cannot be pre-
dicted. | know what effect it should

acted with wisdom and patriotism. He

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much

rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free eXpectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and debilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus-
tion due to coughing, the greatest dam

prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
