LAckEY ADVISES PARENTS.

Wilton Lackaye is developing into an
orator, particularly before women's clubs
in the East, for his spare moments are
filed these joyful spring days with after
noon discourses upon various topics. Last
week he addressed the Minerva club at
the Waldorf-Astoria in New York city
upon the Dominance Of Women Over the
Theater in America" Mr.. Lackaye con-
tends that women control the destinfes Of
the American stage because they have
more time to devote to the play than their
busy husbands. He also seriously OBJ
served that managers know this and cater
to the women, so If the play is at low
ebb, In an artistic sense, it Is so be-
cause women prefer other plays which
they have made successful. Continuing
the actor said:
1T is a crying shame that immoral plays
draw such good audiences. 1t is in re-
gard to these plays that the censorship of
the parent should come in. The father or
mother should buy the tickets and say
to the children: Tomorrow you may go
to such and such play, instead OF hand
ing them 81 and letting them wander
down Broadway and finally drop in at the
latest farce from the stews of Paris.
1.-THE theater can't be restricted to plays
that are suitable to fourteen year old
children. The problem play is a great
thing, but it should not be seen by ALL
1t Is for those who have problems in their
own lives"

IN DAYS OF OLD.

In answer to the severe criticism of the
contemporary drama and actors, the vet
eran stephen Fiske has written several
paragraphs which have been extensively
quoted in England. Says Mr.. Fiske:
IN 1904 nifty years ago, the theatrical
bill Of fare for New York was: John
Bull" and High Life Below Stairs at
Wallacks; Masks and Faces" at Bur
tons; THE Contract of the Gauges" at
the Broadway; 1.-The Hunehback,'' by the
Boone Children, at the Bowery; Writing
on the WALL" at the New Bowery; 1.-The
Hot Corn Girl" and Uncle Toms Cabin. I"
at the National; Robinson Crusoe.' at
Barnum's Museum. There were also III
lien concerts, Buckeyes Negro Minstrels
and panorama-twelve entertainments to
the forty-f1ve now given. Three or four
years later Mrs. John Hoey still wore her
$1,000 diamond earrings when imperson-
ating poor, starving work girls; Lester
Wallack@ played Charles Surface with
black side Whiskers and mustache:
Burton stuck his face through a hole in a
wall to excite the mirth of the gallery
boys; Eddy 'chewed up the scenery on
the Bowery, and Barnum presented
moral dramas" in his lecture room. To
compare the theatricals Of that period
with those of the present, when we have
most of the best actors and plays Of Lon
don, Paris and Berlin to reinforce the
wonderfully developed, cultured and artis-
tic stage of America, and when the old
time vulgarities and indecencies before
and behind the curtain are forever ban
ished, is like comparing twilight to sun
shine.
Doubtless there were as many bad Ham
let's and Ophelias fifty years ago as there
are noW-and also several better Ham
let's than we can now boast. But, in all
seriousness, wouldn't we sneer them off
the boards for their old fashioned inten-
sity and freedom in action? Other days,
other ways.

AL H. WILSON AT THE GRAND.

The attraction at the Grand this
week, starting tonight, will be Al H.
Wilson, the favorite dialect comedian
and singer, presenting his romantic
play by Sidney r. Ellis, entitled "A
Prince of Tatters." IT'S a tale of old
New York in the year Of 100 when
English governors superseded the
Dutch and ruled only by force of arms.
1t was the pivotal period in American
history and the scenes, incidents and
events are therefore interesting and
thrilling.
The Prince Of Tatters is young ex-
lie from Austria, Prince Hugo Won
Reppert (Mr WILSON, a soldier Of for
tune, whose poverty is no check on his
effervescent spirit or his ambition.
IA Prince Of Tatters" tells a most
interesting story and its situations are
well conceived and executed
Messrs. Yale & Ellis are said to have
staged "a Prince of Tatters'' sumptu-
ously, carrying the full complement Of
scenery, including some handsome sets
that make picturesque background
for the wardrobes worn by the COM
pany. The company supporting Mr..
Wilson includes many names well and
favorably known, among whom are:
Fanny Bloodgood, Florence Slower,
Jane Ferrell May Burt, Ross O'Neal,
James Bevins, G. A. McMullen and lit
tie Bessie Burt.
Mr.. Wilson Is recognized as q pleas
ing actor with a magnetic stage pres
ence. His reputation as a singer is
well deserved as his voice has a mel
low richness and sympathetic sweet
ness that charms the listener.
His repertoire of songs, includes

lar rehearsals have been going on for
the past two weeks both at st. Louis
and Cincinnati.
AS Miss Adams will have almost the
entire original company which played
with her for two seasons in this play, 1T
stands to reason that on Tuesday
evening, after the necessary scene and
dress rehearsaIs, the play will be given
in the same acceptable manner that 1t
was during the time she made her
splendid reputation as one OF the fore
most female stars Of the country.
Miss Adams has a reputation of be-
ing at all times most thoughtful about
the members of her company. Regard
less of the favor she has found with the
public in general, there is small doubt
that she Is without question the most
popular actress in the country among
stage folks. Her consideration for the
comfort and convenience of others is
said to be, in fact, remarkable. 1t is
stated Of her that If rehearsal is to
be called for the improvement of any
part Of the play she is presenting, she
generally aims to have 1t begin half
hour before the regular performance,
SO that the day will not be interrupted
for the company.
When this is not feasible, she fire.
Quently remains hours, If necessary,
after the final curtain, taking part in
rehearsals in order that on the follow
ing day her associates may not be put
to the trouble of visiting the theater
before the hour Of the regular per-
Torrance. It is told of Miss Adams
that she is ever striving to make her
performances better. She has been
known to stay in the theater for twelve
hours or more, that she may have
things as she wants them, and often
times without going out or sending for
bite to eat. Before she even COM
ments on bit Of stage business she
rehearses 1t over and over again, usu-
ally winding up with her asking the
opinion of her associates as to it's eff
fectiveness.
Does that really go well?" Is the
form her question usually takes.

nounced the most successful plav he
has presented during his entire career.
HIS creation Of the role Of Robert Of
Sicily allows him, it is said, an op-
portunity for a dual impersonation of
wonderful contrast in the course Of the
play. He is seen first as a king Of ex-
quis1te appearance, and then as a court
fool in tattered motley, THE Proud

ON a pedestal, says Alan Dale in the
New York American and Journal Some
where a discussion Is being waged as to
the superiority of American or English
humor. and many silly remarks are made
by partisans who evidently have valuable
time Ito burn"
Although managers Will undoubtedly
scour the European continent this summer
in the quest of comedy, farce and bur-
lesque-just from force of habit, don't you
know-it is pretty certain that they will
bring back nothing more hilarious than
these three aforesaid specimens of Ameri
can humor-''rhe Other Girl" by Angus

George AIDE. and 1.-THE Dictator by Rich

Foolish people, who can see just as far
as the end of their own noses (and they
must own. snub noses, for their view
seems so limited), in discussing superior
'ity or inferiority, do not realize the fact
that humOr itself Is essentially the same
in all countries. The fundamental idea of
producing hilarious shock does not differ
in various nations. But it is in the ex-
preston of humor that each country has
its own speciality. American managers
