CONCERT GIVEN BY
THE BOHEMIAN CLUB
OF HISTORIC VALUE

The Bohemian Club concert of last
week, with it's introduction of three
orchestral compositions by members Of
the club, including the significant tone
drama of w. Mccoy. was one Of the
most important affairs in local musical
history. BY it alone the bohemian Club
demonstrated its position as a practical
leader in the arts, and through it was
effectively introduced to the local pub
lie too little known and very gifted
member of the local composing group.

sion, the first hum of the seasons or

teen scenes and there are three mag
nif1cent ballets, each Of which exhibits
more than 300 people.
It is a generally conceded fact in
Europe that no actor of the present
day and few actors who have ever
lived possess the genius for making
up" for part as does Ermete Novelli,
the great Italian artist who is to make
his first visit to America this season
under the Liebler & Co. management.
His Shylock, his Othello, his Louis XXI
and his Nero all bear indisputable evi-
dence TO the verify of this claim, as do
many of his comedy roles. No one is
as clever as Novelli in painting on his
countenance the physiognomy of the
character he is to personate. Every
evening he is to be found in his dress
ing-room an hour before the play be-
gins. Seated before the mirror of his
little dressing table he invariably lights
a cigarette and at the same time holds
a discussion with seven or eight
friends. seated where they can, in the
midst of coats of every hue, trousers
vests, shirts, wigs of all colors and all
dimensions. While he smokes and
talks, .Noveli twists with master hand
the hair of the wig which he will wear
later. He combs and brushes 1t, gives
TO the hair, white or black or golden,
straight or curly, the form and place
which he thinks is appropriate to the
character. Then he turns to his face
which can be that of a man of any
age, from the imbecile dude of twenty
five years to the husband of fifty, ri
diculous and contented; from the face
all wrinkles and from the white beard
of Shylock to the handsome and mel
anoholy profile of Hamlet to the iras-
chile face of the "Burbero Beneficio,"
and the black lowering physiognomy of
Othe1lo. With the rapid and almost
feverish hand of the artist he puts
few touches under his eyes, on his
cheeks. about his mouth and even on
his forehead, SO that the edge of the
wig cannot be seen even at close quar-
ters, and so he stands completely
transformed and unrecognizable. No
velli's achievements in this line are
constant source of wonder and admira-
tion to his friends. No actor living, it
is said, can approach him in the art.

Myself. I'd be pleased enough 20 take

story by Mr. Bellows later protest
concerning Shaw's sincerity. He could
not do better: ''Shaw's QUAINTi"
We returned then to Mrs. Potter,
and Mr.. Bellew put it that God broke
the mold when he made her" He
argued that the actress had succeeded
by being "just her own extraordinary
self; spoke of her red hair-not
imitation" the Orpheum punster
put it, like another famous red-haired
actress; characterized her as more of
a classical actress. than any other
type, and spoke of her recent Calypso.
Truly" I inquired. wouldn't you
rather be playing the repertoire you
played with Mrs. Potter than-Raffies,
for example?''
Why?" said the actor with a shrug.
"Raffies is an easy thing. It's popular.
After all it's the commercial side that
counts. 1 have only to put on an
evening coat take a cigar walk en-
the stage. and walk off again, and
then forget all about 1t until the next
time. Why should one bother to be
Hamlet, nerves strung up all night, in
bed all day. or dead beat? I've done
all that; I've been through it all, and
jolly hard it is"
"Mr. Bellew." I said sternly, you're
actingl"
Perhaps I am" he laughed But
there, If one were to play the things
he preferred he would almost always
have to play them to empty benches"
Perhaps Hamlet" had recalled the
Haymarket, for the actor began then
to talk Of his Haymarket days, in J.
B. Buckstone's time, when the oldest
actor there had been AZ years with the
house, the stage manager SS, the
youngest" member next to Mr.. Bellew
IT! Those were the days. recalled
the actor, when we had to look in
The Daily Telegraph every morning to
see what we were going to play at
night! A fact, 1 assure you. And we
had to report one hour before the per-
formance for fear the bill was changed.
And we frequently changed the bill
every night. Actors don't have to
work to-day! We used to be engaged
for one line of work"-Mr Bellew
lazily slapped knee to emphasize the
following" we were expected to
know every part in that line in the
legitimate drama"
''Then do you feel that the stage has
degenerated?"
" 'Palmy days and that sort of
thing?" queried the actor. Not at all.
1 remember old Bucky on 'palmy
days." he laughed. "Bucky used to
grunt: 'Palmy days, palmy days.
years ago, sir! No, sir! The only
'palmy days 1 remember were when
the beggars got drunk and never knew
their lines'-dear old Buckyl"
1t was after this when Mr.. BelIew
said that Charles Fechter's was the
best Hamlet he knew, that 1 mentioned
the Hamlets outside. 1t was then

down Kearny street. And it was then

by the peanut stand we said good
by''-alas! But was it Willingly that
Romeo held my hand tender trifie
longer than need be, as he asked 'if
I were not going to say very nice
things about him on Sunday?"
And the amateur Juliet replied,
turning up her eyes to him, How
COULD 1 say anything else!"

At PORT ARTHUR.
More Reports in the Air of Heavy
Bombardm

Tien Tsin, July 21.-Lloyd's agent at
New ChWang telegraphs that nearly
every steamer arriving reports seeing
mines and that navigation will practi-
cally cease unless steps are taken to
explode the mines.
Everything at New Chwang is per-
fectly quiet. There is no trouble with
the Russian troops.
A letter was received here, today,
from New Chwang saying that the
commander of a Russian torpedo boat
had reported that while in the gulf of
Pechili he had accidentally torpedoed
a British steamer. 1t is surmised here
that the vessel referred to is the Hip
slang, now five days overdue from New
Chwang. The Hipsiang belongs to the
Indo-China Navigation Co.
1t is reported here that heavy bonn
barfment off Port Arthur occurred,
yesterday. and heavy gun firing was
heard at New Chwang the same day.

The Creedmore was built at Gard

transferred them to tug off Martha's

ing the present action of the Russian
volunteer cruisers in the Red Sea is
being gathered. The State department.
has taken very broad ground respect
ing the exemption of neutral shipping
from annoying interference, as shown
i'm the proclamation of Pres. Mckinley
at the beginning of the Spanish war.
neutral flag covers neutral goods and
while 1t is admitted here that that is
not vet a universally accepted tenet OF
international law, it is held that it
should be such, and the State depart-
ment has lost no opportunity to bring
that to pass.
But aside from the question of con-
tra band goods and neutral ships, the
officials here feel that the actions of
the Russian ships in connection with
the mails is the gravest issue now pre-
scented. In the famous Trent case,
boarded the British steamer Trent and
carried oft Mason and Slidell, the Con-
federate commissioners, the British
government i'm its contention, which
was practically admitted by the Unit
ed States in the end, remarked that the
commissioners was almost as bad as
removing the mails would have BEEN"
showing clearly what the British idea
was then as to the right to carry off
mail
