Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-03-26

A well known dramatic school in- structor declared the other day that he considered the Proctor stock compan- les. located at the Fifth avenue and 120th street theaters. n most valuable adjunct to the dramatic schools. Not alone,' said he, lis it possible to send the pupils to witness revivals of the most popular plays of the past five years and careful productions of the standard comedies. but the perman- ency of the stock companies enables the dramatic aspirant to closely ob- serve the varying methods used by the same acNor in treating his parts. At theaters where single production runs for several weeks, to be followed by an entirely new company, it is not possible to arrive at any satisfactory understanding of the actors versa tility without the aid of special lecture, but at the Proctor theaters one may observe week by week the tricks of the trade by which versatility is gained. ;"

 Another vaudeville story comes from J. Shirley Ross, the theatrical agent. The incident was Imaginable, though greatly embarrassing to. the member of the Carroll Comedy com pany to whom it happened. The com- pany was playing an engagement at Hinton, West Virginia, and 1t was at this place that certain bit of stage business did not "go" with Its usual success. The manager made an an nouncement that owing to the sud- den illness of one of the performers, the wire and trapeze act would have to be omitted. At this a disgruntled seat buyer in the gallery (who was in reality the performer) began a drunk en remonstrance about being cheated out of his rights, in paying money to see things on the bill, and having them cut out. After a pre-rehearsed conversation between the stage man. ager and the supposed drunken man in the gallery, the manager ended with: "If you insist on the act why don't you come down here and do it yourself?' ''That's what I will" said the man, who proceeded toward the stage, making remarks as he passed down the aisle. One of these was thought by patron of the perform ance to be extensively directed to the lady with him. Without warning he took the performer by the collar and forcibly led him down long flight of stairs, paying no attention to the plead ings of the actor that he was not drunk, that he had to finish his act. The man did not understand. The per former finally got back to the stage, where he went through with his turn, accompanied by howls and jeers from the gallery.

JEFFERSON DIE ANGELES.

Success of the most successful kind continues to attend the brilliant per formances of Jefferson De Angelfs and his opera company in '"The Toreador,'' in which they will be seen at Polls on Tuesday evening. De Angelis leads the high carnival of fun in his intense ly comic portrayal of the timid foot man, Sammy Gigg, and and his expert associates, in humor and songs, join hands in one of the merriest successes recorded this season. "The Toreador" is said to be most gorgeous scenic and ycostume production. The dozens of pretty girls as bridesmaids, picadors matadors and dancing girls, in many changes of radiant costumes, present most colorful and animated pictures. FThe piece is said to be full of bright melodies, capital songs, topical hits and dashing choruses, and the musical side of this clever production Is as at tractive as it's comic story and humor- sous complications are entertaining. llThe sale of seats will open Monday at 25, 90, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

Exceptional interest attaches to the exhibition of moving pictures that the Edison Projectoscope company is to give at Polls tomorrow evening from the fact that a number of Russo-Jap- anese war views will be shown for the first time.

ARGUMENT is CONTINUED.
George q. Young Speaks for Seeurf
ties Company.

Washington. Jan. 9.-The argument
of the Minnesota state merger case
was continued during the day IN the
Urited States supreme court. Ihe
first speaker of the day was George Is.
Young who appeared for the Northern
Securities company. He said that the
state of Minnesota had failed to estab.
lish a case for relief in the Minnesota
federal circuit court under the federal
laws. thus bringing the entire issue
within the statutes forbiddinG rail-
road consolidation. He contended that
the Securities company was purely
financial company and in no sense a
railroad corporation. Ii had no power
to operate railroads and has done moth
ing more than purchase the stock OF
two railway companies lie said that
the operations of the company had
been confined TO these functions ana
argued that these transactions did not
fall within the scope of the prohibition
of the Minnesota act of 1880.
Mr. Young was followed by John 4.
Johnson. who contended that the uni
fication Of the two railroad companies
in the Securities company had not re-
suited in any restraint of trade. When
the court took a recess for luncheon
Mr.. Mum had entered upon the clos
ing argument for the state.
