1t was Thomas Carlyle who said that all
genius was akin to savagery. Sarah Bern
hardt exempliffes this in the boudour of her
chateau in Paris. Nine Bernhard is a per-
feet barbarian in her defiance of all the
conventionalities regarding color schemes
Her sleeping room is hung in royal purple,
picked out with peacock plumes.- Over her
Louis XVI bed is canopy made of I'M
spun silk taken directly from the silkworm
cocoon. A great splash of crimson satin, in
the form of shield, adorns the center. The
walls are hung in old tapestries, and in the
interstices of the. hangings are row after
row of tiny monkey skulls, the eye sockets
of which are iilun1ined with electric lights

pierced so that they may carry large rings

young she did twenty years ago. Her
face is without wrinkles. and her step is as
spry and her manner as vivacious as when
she first electrified her native city as an
actress.

"EMPRFssn ON VARIETY STAGE.
Jacques Lebaudy's Former Companion
Singing in q Berlin Theater.

From the New York Sun
Madame de Dion, the companion of JAG
ques Lebaudy, whom he for some time
designated Empress of the Sahara, has
been displaying her accomplishments upon
the variety stage in Berlin with more or
less success. The story told by the German
qUarreled because she refused to make her
entrance into the Sahara towns on the
back of camel.
Notwithstanding this, all the billboards
in Berlin heralded her coming with highly
colored pictures of lady riding upon a
dromedary, clad in costume of green
leaves which, the irreverent German para
graphers point out, is much more suitable
to the climate of the Sahara than to that
of northern Germany.
Toward the end of the performance at
the theater where she appears two negroes
wearing turbans and tropical suits of linen,
trot upon the stage, carrying a sort of
Sedan chair. Out of this the Empress of
the Sahara energies, clad in an everyday
variety stage toilet of black jet trimmed
with punches of yiolets: She mods in
friendly but rather careless style to the
audience and sings two songs, the first be-
ing a sentimental one, and the other of
decidedly opposite character.
Her performance stirs up ne great ex-
element in the audience. She usually re-
ceiyes polite but not very enthusiastic al
lowance of applause from the spectators
Then she curtsies slightly and, with a
gracious and understanding smile, vanishes
from the stage
The German newspapers, so far from
finding anything romantic about her, cruelty
describe her commonplace second
grade variety actress

MUSICAL MENTION

Music lovers of this city will have the
opportunity this winter to renew acquaint-
ance with the Philadelphia Orchestra, un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Fritz Scheel. The
local public is already familiar with the
artistic attachments of this band of eighty
musicians. and there are many who believe
the Philadelphia Orchestra has qualities
which are not to be found in any similar
organization in the country. Mr.. Scheel
has a happy faculty of arranging programs
that prove interesting, and his orchestra
recently met with notable success in Bos-
ton. Negotiations are also under way to
secure for one of the concerts the Polish
pianist, Arthur Rubinstein.
One of the interesting musical events Of
the past week was the piano recital given
Friday evening at the Laise-Phillips school
by Miss Julia R. Goodall, assisted by Miss
Margaret l.. Veitch, soprano, and Mr.. Is.
Frank Gebest, accompanist. The program
included the following numbers: Ronoo
in G, Beethoven; songs, Fruhllngszeit
by Reinhold Becker, and Bonn by Au-
gust Bungert; etude Schutt; valse i'm
promptu List; songs L'ete, Chami-
made, and 'Snowfiakes, Cowen; three pre-
ludes-F major, B-minor, G-major, Chopin;
Zwei Erzahlungen am Xavier, Schar-
wenka; song "Oh Sleep, Why Dost Thou
Leave Me?' (from Semee), Handel; Tar
antelle, Liszt. The three participants in
the program have all been abroad recently
pursuing their musical studies.
Miss Ella Stark. concert pianist of Ber-
lin, gave a recital for the blind at the
Congressional Library last Thursday after
noon. which was received with much en-
thusiasm. Her program was varied one
and gave ample opportunity for the display
of technique tone-color and expression

Crimes by the Hundred Thousand.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the chicago IriDuhe
With the heat of summer almost all the
Paris theaters have closed their doors, and
with their closing comes to old Parisians a
recollection of the days when what Is now
the Boulevard du Temple was the Boule-
ward du Crime, says the London Sketch.
II was upon a July evening In 1862 that
these theaters, which lived upon the taste
OF the Parisians for melodrama. gave their
last performance and some curious statis-
tics were published and handed around the
audience Five popular performers had In
their stage careers divided 1923 crimes
stage crimes-among them. Tauten had
been stabbed 1902 times, Marty had been
poisoned II. coo times. and Fresnoy had met
with a violent death In various ways q 900
times Mile. Adele Dupuis had been kid
Mapped drowned or sedueed 1900 times,
and Mile. Leyesque wrongfuily accused of
murder 6,4o0 times. while her comrade,
Mile. Oliver, had drunk of crimes cup no
less than 1900 times. These actors and
actresses are forgotten now, but they were
tho favorites of the Paris of yesterday.
Nowadays melodrama in the city of light
amuses and interests comparatively few, as
few probably as II amuses and interests in
London, where battle, murder and sudden
death on the stage have given way to
crimes OF more finished and modern kin0.

role. As at present arranged, Mr.. Frohman
will inaugurate his tenancy of the new
Aldwych Theater. London. on Saturday,
December %, with the new version OF
''Bluebell in Fairyland." in which Seymour
Hicks, as "Dicky." and Miss Ellalaine Ter
Kiss. as Biuebell," will appear.
In order to increase the revenues OF the
actors fund a suggestion has been made by
Miss Maude White of the prince Chap
company to tax every actor ana actress IN
the country the sums of ten ana twenty
five cents a week while they are employed
Stars and leading men and women are to
be asked to contribute little more. Cir
cular letters outlining the plans have been
sent broadcast.
In a private telegram received In New
York during the past week from Miss Grace
Cameron who is making tour OF the
world. the actress said she had just begun
an engagement in johannesburg, South
Africa. and that her welcome had been
very cordial. Miss Cameron is singing
number of the songs from "Piff, Paff, Pour
TO her audiences in South Africa.
Mr.. Lee Shubert has made arrangements
with Mr.. Joseph l.. Rhinock of Cincinnati
for the erection of theaters in. all of the
larger cities of the south. Il have closed
contracts with Mr.. Rhinock and some
friends of the Cincinnati representative
whereby they will erect two independent
playhouses in Toronto and Louisville, but
other Independent theaters in the south, -
says Mr.. Shubert.
"Mexlcana" is the title of the new comic
opera to be produced by the Messrs Shu-
bert. 1t is the joint work of Messrs. Robert
Smith. Raymond Hubbell and Miss Mary
Driscoll and will be placed In rehearsal
early next month. The opera will be sent
on the road to take up the time of Mr.. De
Wolf Hopper's "Happyland. which is to
remain in New York indefinitely.
John Bulls Other Island closed its
brief run at the Garrick Theater, New
York, last night. having failed TO please the
Gothamttes. 1t was intended to run the
piece all this week but in order to give the
company chance to rehearse Mrs. War
ren's Profession" it was thought best to
withdraw the piece at once. Mrs. War
rens Profession has never been seen in
this country. and will be presented the first
time next Monday night a week with Mary
Shaw in the title role and Arnold Daily as
leading man.

The London Theater.
From a stan Correspondent
LONDON, October II, 1905.

From Stan Correspondent.
LONDON, October II, 1905.
After rather long silence that ingeni-
GUS American woman playwright Made
line Lucette Ryley. will soon be repre-
scented in London by two and possibly
three plays
The first of these has been secured by
Forbes Robertson. who is already indebt-
ed to Mrs. Ryley for his biggest success,
mice and Men" Robertson has just de-
cided to retire the Duchess of Suther-
lands Inflated "Conqueror." with which
he opened the new Scala fortnight ago,
and means to follow it with a revival of
Francois Coppee's drama. For the
Crown" but this probably will not fill the
theater for long, and is to be followed in
its turn by Mrs. Ryley's play. a comedy,
the new piece is not named finally as yet,
but it contains parts for both Robertson
and Gertrude Elliot, the former appear
ing for the first time a clergyman.
Oddly enough 1t was after just such run
of bad luck as he has lately been experience
ing that Robertson tried Mice and Men
at the Lyric and scored so hugely, and his
friends will hope that history may now re-
peat itself.

Irene Vanbrugh, who made a sensation on
both sides of the water as the manicurist
in Pinero's Gay Lord Quex." will appear
as the heroine of Mrs. Ryley's second play,
which has been commissioned by Charles
Frohman This is really an English adap-
tation of Berton's French play, la Belle
Marseillalse" which made success in
Paris. Napoleon is its hero, and the play
tells of his attempted assassination by
marquis of the old regime just previous to
his assumption of the title of emperor. Mrs.
Ryley says that in adapting the play she
has made comparatively few changes be-
yond strengthening the name part for Miss
Vanbrugh's use. La Belle MaSelllaiSe
will he produced at one of Frohman's Lon
don theaters probably before Christmas,
and II successful will be given in the United
States later on.
Regarding the third piece which she has
in hand Mrs. Ryley is disposed to maintain
silence for awhile. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever. that her return to dramatic work may
be attended by the good fortune which was
hers for so long. Her list of successes in
cludes "Jedbury, Junior IAN American
Citizen" and The Mysterious Mr.. Bugle. >"
besides Mice and Men" but her comedy
"The Grass Widow" which was done at
the Shaftesbury two years ago ran less
than a week and while THE Altar of
Friendship" served Nat Goodwin fairly well
in the United States 1t had only brief
career at the Criterion and since then moth
ing has been heard from Mrs. Ryley.

1t was hoped that the little sketch put
on this week in front of William Gillette s.
"Clarce" would prolong the life of the
pretty American drama with which Gillette
expected to repeat his Sherlock Holmes
success The new curtain raiser was called
"A Painful Episode In the Career of Sher-
lock Holmes" and was described correctly
on the play bill as being tenth of an
act" 1t proved to be odd conception. in
which the familiar Sherlock Holmes sits

which his room is invaded by rattle

to be insane, and who Is finally led away

however was trifie too risky for Anglo
