Although Joseph jefferson retired

the careful compiler of theatrical data

the fact that, so far as a large proper

tired for many years. He made his
last Chicago appearance in 1868. to be

Broadway has not seen him III FIVE

How many centuries hence the ideal
theatre might be obtained ~ this pro-
cess is not stated with any degree of
certainty. and public confidence in the
efficiency OF the plan is not likely TO
be stimulated by the admission of Miss
Mary Stone, author of the scheme,
that her idea was based on the belief
that Andrew Carnegie would aid a ma
tional theatre project if a reasonable
sum could be raised from other sources.
As Mr.. Carnegie. after prolonged con-
slderatiOn. mas declared in an emphatic
tone his belief in The unwisdom of en-

this direction would seem futile.

definite but scarcely less speedy in it's

George AIDE, who recently startled his
friends by remaining for week in his
room in a New York hotel and sub
Knitting to a starvation cure for indi-
gestion, is said to have written a one
act vaudeville play which many actors
are bidding for, but which he refuses
to allow to be produced.
The principal character is an old
negro from the south, now employed as
the door keeper in a New York gam
bling house. His former master. a typi-
cal southern colonel of the old school,

orders the negro to throw the old man

The negro would as soon think OF
ctecting an archangel as his former
Cwnner. who is shabby and hungry
but still proud.
So the faithful black confesses TO hav-
Ing long ago stolen from him a SO coin
which he never did-and insists on
making restitution. The colonel re-

Ethel Barrymore may be young, but
she has decided opinions concerning
many things. The other day she told
Eifrid Bingham of the New York Mail
that she didn't care for Ibsen or Ber-
na-d Shaw.
Ibsen's views Of life, she said, might
be true enough in Norway, but they
were not true in America She con-
fessed his power as a playwright. his
skill as a stage craftsman, but though
verted, and even false. George Ber-
nard Shaw she diSliked, without any
compensating admira tion-unless it be
for his wit.

man as Shaw, and he certainly is clev-

There was another subject on which
Miss Barrymore was frankly iconoclas-
tic. She does not like French drama.
Rejane scarcely interested her. There
might be. doubtless was, much truth in
Partisan plays, but il did not appeal to
her. She preferred the German drama,

STORIES ABOUT PLAYERS.

Not all the theatrical managers in
the land are possessed of q sense Of
humor which permits them to appreci-
ate many of the ridiculous experiences
which they enjoy Charles L. Blaney,
however, does not appear to be among
the number. The other day he told of
the requests managers receive for a
chance to go upon the stage.
Of" he says, everybody that wanted
to go on the stage did so, there would
not be enough people left for an audi
ence. Possibly the most frequent ap-
plicant for a position on thestage is
the very young and very 'giggly' girl.
she is usually very much embarrassed.
The prospect Of speaking a piece right
out on the stage has somewhat over
whelmed her. oh, my she says with

No. but that is what want

Then comes the mature one. She is
anywhere above 40 and anywhere below

to make trial as Lady Macbeth.

In addition TO this the atmosphere of
