An Appreciative Word
for Theatre Audiences
This Side the Water

And you're all keen about the theatre" re-
marked Miss Tempest, and responsive. Every
body-all classes-seem bent getting all the fun
out of life possible. In their love OF pleasure and
desire to be amused, Americans are growing more
and more like the French. A thing that strikes rs
from the stage is the response here OF the galleries
particularly the upper one where il is supposed that
less intelligent class sits Our fun seems be as
keeny appreciated and enjoyed there in the stalls
We feel it constantly. 1t is delightful, and novel
experience to my husband, who has been accus-
toned to the stolidity of similar parts OF the house
in English theatres. How do | account for it?

Why Is 1t Lucky

Then there is tradition that it is good luck to
come on the stage with certain foot always first.
Your popular Miss Maude Adams, hear, invariably
makes her entrance with the left foot forward; and
others of the profession have the trick. Left
or right foot-it doesn't matter which, long it
is always one and not the other.

The Closing Lines
of a Play Are Never Spoken
at Rehearsals

Tricks of the trade" laughed Miss Tempest
There is than way kill cat, you
know, and the superstitiouS have hundred ways

English stage as here, l should imagine" she
tinued "for, after all, people much alike the
world over. Actors do not like when rehearsing II
new piece to speak the last words OF the play 1t Is
thought be bad luck. Whoever has the last line
omts it until the opening night. Neither do they
wish their associates in play to wish them good
luck or to be solicitous to whether or not they
are in good form. Opera singers are particularly
superstitious this point. They regard as bird

the day of performance, If they are in good voice
When the question is put they never by any chance

It's Bad Luck
to Whistle if You're
a Thespian

You've heard, I suppose, that it is considered bad
luck for actors to whistle in their dressing rooms.
The legend is that if they do, the person outside
nearest the door gets discharged. Now what would
do if believed that? | whistle all the timer She
puckered up her mouth expressively, her eyes
dancing
And you don't lose your associates in conse-
quence?"
Never. Whstling is just as natural to me as
breathing. | couldn't stop even if l wanted to,
which / don't
One of the most curious of the theatrical super
stitions is the belief that it invariably brings good
luck to touch the bunch on the back of a deformed
person. Actors, in passing hunchback on the
street in any other place, will manage to touch
surreptitiOusly the bunch; and many goes
out of his way on the day of first performance to
come in contact with person having this deformity
in order insure success to himself in the new
part
Asked about this superstition Miss Tempest said
she no more affected by it than by Others and
then, woman-ke she made a confession

She was perched in a characteristic attitude on
the edge of chair in her apartment. Delicate and
dainty, with pquant face and quick, restless move
ments, Miss Tempest seems the embodiment of
motion, and gives the impression that to keep still
for long a time would be the most difficult thing
in the world for her.

MONSSEN'S HEROIC ACT
Admiral Barker Says History
Records no Greater One.

Washington, May 29.-Secy Moody
has issued a general order containing
extracts from the report Of the Missouri
court Of inquiry regarding the conduct
OF the officers and men at the time of
the accident on board that vessel April
10. The president sent this letter TO
the department.
THE memorandum Of Rear Admiral
a. s Barker, -in-chief of
the North Atlantic fleet, of April 30,
ON the accident on board the Missouri,
The disaster was appalling but 1t de-
partment In 1t Admiral Barker says:
The disasterw as appalling, but 1t de-
veloped heroes, History records no more
heroic act than that Of Monssen who
crawled through a hole in the burning
magazine TO put out the flames. The
conduct OF the captain, officers and crew
was superb, showing excellent disci-
pline and marked physical courage
1T is matter Of profound gratifca-
ton to all who are proud Of the Ameri-
can navy that the officers and men
concerned should have behaved so well
under such trying circumstances.
THE weapons with which men now
make war upon the ocean are so terri
Bile, the mechanism of our warships Is
at once SO delicate and so fOrmida BILE,
as to make thorough training and prac-
tlse I'm their use both Indispensable
and dangerous. Such war machines
would in battle be utterly useless UNI
less those handling them knew by ac-
tu0l experience their capabilities and
power to utilize to the highest degree
these capabilities and this power can
only be acquired by practise, from
which q certain amount Of risk is IN
separable
Every man performed his duty with
a cool self-possession and courage
which gives us a right to feel entire
confidence as to the 'Hay IN which any
emergency, In battle or otherwise,
would be met. Similarly we have
right TO be proud Of the fact that on
the instant resumption of the target
practise the craftsmanship, II any
thing, showed a slight improvement af-
ter the accident"
