MASCAGNI IN PARIS

Pietro Mascagni, whose national am
bition 1t is to white at least one more
successful opera, seeing that his Ca
valleria Rusticana" is the sum total of
his popular works to date, is said to
have formed a partnership as well as a
friendship with Victorien Sardou, the
aged dramatist of France.
Mascagni is now in Paris, where he
is being feted in a way that is making
him forget his rather tragic experience
in the United States last year The
other day, it having come to his ears
that Victorien Sardou wished to meet
him. Mascagni went to the playwright's
house, to be received with open arms,
Sardou declaring that he was the first
to applaud "Cavalleria Rusticana" in
France. After a while the dramatist
said: How would it be if you, young.
and I, old, would work together? IL
to the ardor of your youth 1 should
unite my long experience of the
theater What do you say?"
Il shall be only too hOnOred and
happy was the prompt reply.
Then said the other, chOosei
With the exception of Hatred which
L dream of having acted in France just
as 1 wish, choose from all my works,
they are at your disposaII"
Mascagni named one-which, he will
not say. but it is one of the older of
Sardou's workS-and hopes that it may
inspire him to great things.

chance to say farewell to him before
his retirement from the stage. If that
prove true there may be some slight
compensation in the new lot of Irving
anecdotes that it will start about the
country. One such was last week re-
told by friend of the English actor,
as follows, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean:
When Sir Henry Irving was in New
York last year he had the same cab
man TO drive him to and from the thea
ter every night.
Sir Henry became fond of this cab
man. He would discuss American poll
ties with him, American newspapers
and American plays and players. After
the evenings performance. at the end
of the drive home the venerable actor
and the stout and ruddy cabby-the
one looking up from the sidewalk and
the other looking down from the box
would talk amicably together for ten
or fifteen minutes in the quiet street.
one night the coachman told Sir
Henry that the next day was his day
on. AT this the actor put his hand into
MS pocket for some passes. He had no
passes, he found; so he gave the man
SO instead.
III you are off tomorrow night he
said, come and see me-you and your
wife. Come and see me in THE Mer-
chant of Venice" 1t is considered one
of my best parts
oh, thank you, sir said the cab
man. That will be a treat for me and
her, won't it? Thank you from the bot
tom of my heart, SIR
The next night after he was not at
his post, and Sir Henry did not see the
cabman. But the night after he was at
his post as usual, and Sir Henry said
to him, as he prepared to enter the
cab:
Well. how did you and your wife
like me as Shylock?'
Why. the fact is, sir said the cab
man, we didn't CO.
You didn't go? Why not? said Sir
Henry.

cabman, gently; the missus, sir, pre-

WITH w. WIS COMPLIMENTS

There never is any doubt of William
Winters attitude when an Ibsen drama
is announced for production in New
York. When Maurice Campbell pro-
duced When We Dead Awake" last
week Mr.. Winter observed:
"A theatrical company organized by
Maurice Campbell-who might be bet
ter employed-will obtrude upon the
public notice this afternoon at the
Knickerbocker theater Mr. Ibsen's ero-
tic, morbid and absurd play, entitled
When We Dead Awake This lean
witted, hectic, fiatulent, mystical rub
bish is in print, and, with patience
and determination of purpose il can
be read. There is no good reason why
it should be acted" Mr. Winter also
dislikes the drama made from the novel
and resents putting the famous poets
into plays. For instance: "A play
called Nancy Stair has been under
lined for production at the Criterion
theater on March IA. in which one OF
the characters is Robert Burns. the
national pot of Scotland. Mary Man
nering will act in this piece as the hero
inc, Nancy. While the poet Burns will
be assumed by T. ID. Frawley This
has all the appearance of a sacrilege.

it-has tolerated little James Young
as Lord Byron, and little Mr.. Mack as
Tom Moore; and perhaps it will endure

ARTISTS "REMINISCENCES

Joe" Jefferson, in the reminiscent
chatter of his old age, likes to say that
there are two experiences in his career
that he has never been able to forget.
Whefe and when they happened ne
cannot now recall, but the essential
part of each is as vivid to him as
though it occurred yesterday Once
when he was learning his trade he was
sent to recite The Star Spangled Ban
ner' at some entertainment. The cir
cumstances were embarrassing, mem
Ory forsook him, and after three trials
he could get no further than "Oh, say,
can you see?' mo, we can't" yelled
someone in the gallery. A few Kissed,
more laughed and Jefferson fed into
the wings. 1t was the only incident of
the kind in all the years in which he
acted. The other experience belongs to
the days in which he first became
star. Then stars lived in boarding
houses, and opposite Jefferson's room
was billboard. One morning he
awoke to see his own name in letters
three feet high on the posters. Long
he sat in his window and dreamed
Then it occurred to him TO watch the
passers that streamed through the
street. No one so much as glanced at
the poster.

Katherine, in one respect she finds it
steadily entertaining. especially when
she has been playing it for the first
time in comparatively small towns, as
she did last winter. Somehow" she
