take your subject, cut it into climaxes,

the situation, but certainly not the sit

STAGE SMILES.

There are certain set rules, or at
least crystallized conventions. which
are as much a part of the actors art
as the ''tormenters" or the sky Dor
ders" are OF Overy theater. The stage
villain for example. From time inn
memorial he has been provided with
an assortment of smiles. which, accord
ing to circumstances, might be classed
under several headings. He usually
makes his appearance with a smile of
composure, then follows an imitation of
sincerity and finally comes the thwart-
ed smile of detection and despair.
Those who saw Edwin Booth as Iago
can never forget the demoniac smile
which suffused his countenance when
he ilched Desdemona's handkerchief
There was as much meaning in that
vampire smile as there are words in
an unabridged dictionary. The actors
face frightened with a demoniacal
glare, his lips parted like an angry
hound, disclosing his shining white
teeth, and there was in his smile a
symposium of ruthless cunning.
Somehow in real life, as on the stage,
we distrust a man who wreathes his
face in perpetual smile. Pope knew
well the quality of the constant smiler
saying, Eternal smiles his emptiness
betray as shallow streams run dim
Mrs. Fezziwig one of the perpetual
kind for she wore one subSta initial
smile and wearied everybody with it.
A person who stares like a sick face is
an Improvement on the one that smiles
like an orang outang.
The leading lady is likewise chary of
her smiles. She uses them with great
care and economy. She never really
gets beyond a semismile or smiling
gIances that shoot and illuminate like
sudden CLEANS that glow through au-
tumn clouds, for to break into broad
grin would be to smash almost any
scene.
In your popular leading man there is
usually a mixture of the detected and
the forlorn. 1t is the comedian, the
soubrette and villain whose business it
is to indulge in this pastime. This trio
can work the muscles of their faces
into as many creases as there are lines
on a map, and nobody will complain.
But now and again we have a come
dian as solemn as a thunder bird and
cold as a mausoleum who manages to
avoid shaking both his sides when he
perpetrates a noble and glorious pun,
yet the soubrette is never anything else
than an automatic smiling machine. 1t
matters not how dolorous she may be
in the family circle; once she reaches
the stage door she must remember the
young lady who desired to manage the
maypole dances and must cry, 81 shall
be all smiles tonight, mother, if I am
to be queen of the stage
The suppressed smile is one of the
most useful of theatrical articles and
one of the most effective when employ
ed by a genuine artist. A Washington
critic in speaking of Viola Aliens per-
Torrance of Viola in Twelfth Night"
remarked upon the exquisite skill of the
actress in those scenes with Olivia when
the latter tells her love, and the same
in those passages with. the duke when
he questions Viola regarding her sister.

club franchise has been juggled until
the punctuation marks On it are dir
zy. President Ban johnson of the
league had to give a great deal of at
tention to the club, and had it not
been fer him chaos would have reigned
supreme. Each succeeding crop of
stockholders has been only too willing
after a time to lay down the burden of
responsibility. The effect on players
may readily be seen. No high priced
man sure of a guaranteed salary on
well financed teams is anxious to sign
with team that is controlled by diff
ferent people every few weeks. Base

gamble without the addition of other

A Tale of Tail Enders.

The Philadelphia Nationals and the
Washington Americans should shake
hands. This season they have proved
the most consistent tail enders seen for
many long year. Philadelphia has
slumped miserably since the days
when Napoleon Lajoie. the late Ed
Delehanty and Hughey Jennings wore
Quaker uniforms. The new manage
ment seems to be unable to put life
into the club, and it has gone steadily
from bad to worse.
CHER Charley thinner tried his
best to put a winning team in the field
for the Quakers. but failed, and now
Hugh Duffy has inherited the task.
Duffy, star ball player in his day, is
unable to make progress as manager,
and We can only wonder who his sue
cessor will be.

Needs More Pitchers.

II Clarke had a stronger pitching staff
he would probably forge to the fore in
short order. AS matters now stand. his
success depends largely on the effec-
tiveness- of his infield and on the bat
ting of the team. With Tommy Leach
on the third sack. Hans Wagner at
short. Ritchey at second and Kitty
Bransfield at first the Pirates are as
strong in the infield as any aggregation
in the league. These men form a
'stone WALL infield If ever one existed.

Aubrey Boucicault, who among other
things is the son of Dion Boucicault,
was interviewed recently and spoke of
his ideas of plays and playwriting:
II don't think myself that there is
any field for American dramatists in
England. There is toe much prejudice
over there against our playwrights. Re-
garding our own coming authors, can
only say that they ought to be allowed

The New York Nationals.

In spite of the statements of Clarke,
in spite of the snappy playing of Gin
cinnati under Joe Kelley and in spite of
the brilliant work of SeIee's Chicago
Cubs the New York Nationals are the
favorites IN the National league race.
McGraw seems to have struck the win
ming combination at last, and If the
Giants pitchers continue without Sc
rious injury all will be well for the
charges Of our old transplanted Cincin-
natl friend, John T. Brush.

any way. For instance he has spent
thousands of dollars in improving the
Polo grounds, where the Giants play
home games, and he has not stfnted his
players in the matter of salaries either.
Brush may not be the most popular
man that ever controlled a major
league team, but he certainly believes
in maintaining his organization in first
class condition, all of which pleases the
public.
