THE STREET Is
NOW THEIR STAGE

Several actors who were formerly on
the vaudeville stage and earning fair
salaries, are now playing with the as
phalt paVements for a stage, the curb
stone for fOotlights and the audience
composed of those who have no alter
native other than standing room only
unless they are box occupants" and
watch the show from apartment house
windows. Any one of a dozen reasons
may be given for the appearance Of
these actors on the streets instead of
in regularly appointed theatre. The
fact remains, however, that they make
a fair living and amuse thousands In
their daily travels. They frequent the
upper West Side section, as coins are
supposed to flow more freely there, says
the New York Press.
One team" Of four men makes more
than a fair living They give a really
interesting and humorous performance.
One of them is a juggler another is an
acrobat, the third is q musical come
dian. and the fourth acts as the Or
chestra and money collector.
The juggler carries a wooden box
containing his juggling outfit, while
the acrobat carries the stage, consist
ing Of a large rug, rolled under his
arm. The musical comedian has a large
drum slung over his shoulder. On each
side Of the drum a drumstick is at
tached. while on the top are cymba1s.
A long rope reaches down to the mans
shoes is attached to both drumstick
and the cymbals. On the end of the
rope is a loop. The orchestra consists
of a harmonica and accordian, both
cleverly played at the same time by
the fourth man.
Having selected their theatre" the
acrobat spreads the rug in the middle
of the roadway. The juggler opens his
box and begins TO toss about rubber
balls, knives, forks, lighted lamp and
other articles. The acrobat does some
high and lofty tumbling on his rug. The
orchestra then strikes up some lively
tune. The musical comedian places his
heel into the loop of the rope and stands
on one foot and with the other pulls
the rope that sets the drum and GYM
balls playing
AS he hops around on one foot, like
monkey on a stick, with the drum

and cymbals crashing. he makes all be-
holders laugh.
The team takes nearly a half hour to
give their act. They never fail to draw
a large and interested crowd, who
shower them with coins.
Another actor. a cornet player, makes
his appearance only toward evening,
because, as he confessed, he is ashamed
to be seen IN the daytime.
This young man was a clever cornet
player few years ago. He was on the
vaudeville stage and earned a hand
some salary. He fought in the Spanish
American war and lost an arm After
that he could not play his instrument
as we'll as he once could, and engage
ments were hard to get.
He appears on the streets dressed in
soldiers uniform. AS he stands on a
dark and nearly deserted street, an
empty sleeve dangling by his side, play
ing Taps" in a mournful key, he pre-
sents a pathetic picture.
Then there is a team of two negroes,
both of whom were on the vaudeville
stage few years ago. when the coun-
try had the ragtime craze. When that
died out they, with many others, were
no longer wanted. One of them plays
banjo quite well, while the other does
clog dancing and the cakewalk They
finish their act with singing once popu-
lar ragtime songs.

man is such a rough, vulgar person.
He hits you over the head with piece
Of lead pipe, or, without warning. soaks
you with a sandbag, and any gentle
manly means of defense like jiu jitsu
is no use, because it requires some
preparation for the attack. The high
wayman OF oiden times was much more
delicate in his operations. l have such
great admiration for him that
have perpetuated his virtues in a little
rhyme. The first verse goes like this:

FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

Stage fright is generally associated
with amateurs and first night pro-
auctions. but that it is not confined to
those bounds is attested by Ella Hugh
Wood, who has played the role of the
village gossip, Martha Perkins, in
Way Down East" ever since the
first production of the piece, eight
years ago. That even this long term
of service has not been sufficient TO
guarantee her immunity from stage
fright is borne out by little story
told on herself by Miss Wood.
1--WE were playing in Pittsburg week
before last" relates Miss Wood, land
during my long speech one night In the
second act, where I break the scandal

and marched clear down to the front
row of orchestra chairs, disturbing a

with a big hat for several minutes I
absent-mindedly allowed my eyes to

wife for Wife" the play to be
produced at the New Grand theatre
on next Thursday night. is one of
those good old time Southern melo-
dramas in the days of 1860, during the
time OF slavery. The action Of the
play takes place in New Orleans and
st. Augustine, Fla. and depicts the
better qualities of the upper classes of
southern slave owners, and in those
days the negro slave loved and hon
ored his master and mistress as if
they were one of his kin. In this play,
as in other melodramas, it deals with
the good and the bad, or it would not
be a successful play Edward Wal
ton, the hero Of the drama, falls in
love with Edith, the heroine, and mar
ries her. Both are happy and con-
tented. when Richard Singleton, the
villain and once bosom friend of Ed
ward, jumps in with the aid of
George, a mulattO, the trusted body
servant of Edward, and breaks up the
once happy home. Edward leaves and
goes to Florida, thinking his wife
cares nothing for him. Edith hearing
nothing from him, seeks him every
where, and with the aid of DIR. Achille
Vernon, a French physician, also a
friend of Edwards, they find him in

GENERAL regret will be occasioned
u by the announcement that the
Symphony orchestra will give no
concerts for perhaps some time to come.
Indeed. there is a possibility that no
concerts at all will be given this win
ter. The opening of the Orpheum and
the great demand for musicians at the
Grand, the Lyric and the Salt Lake
theatre has made it impossible to get
the Symphony orchestra together for
rehearsals. All the men are as busy
as they can be. Then il is practically
impossible just now to find a night on
which enough men are disengaged to
give a concert. After a time another
effort will be made and all lovers OF
good music will hope it will be success

FUTURE OF THE THEATRE

A striking little book. and one that
VIII appeal to all those who have a
genuine interest IN the theatre. is z.
Gordon Craig's THE Art of the The
atre. The author is an idealist, and
be sees in the theatre not a, financial
investment but q medium for artists.
He sees in the present state of things
that there is, and must be- much care
less work in every department, and he
admits that one man. even though he
be Wagner, cannot make a renafs-
sance, but can only point out the way.
He reminds us that in the past there
were two main divisions of architec-
ture, one of which was the tomb and
the other the temple; the one with
its eternal reminder of death and the
other with its suggestion of life. The
theatre of the future, this writer
claims, is to be the temple Of life, and
he insists that ii shall be for the peo-
pie. Above all, he insists upon the
difference between the realistic and
life. And it is life itself that he would
bring into the theatre, not by means
Of live things but by means of things
that do not possess life until the ar
list has touched them and thereby
brought them to life" And he goes on
TO explain how far accessories are real
ly significant:
"Air balloons are but trifing things;
still such trihes can be manipulated in
the theatre so that they shall bring
perfection. Wood, yards of silk, a bell.
canvas, paints, and all the things used
In the theatre-these too, are but ex-
ternal trifies. They are so much litter

Yet can all these things pulsate with
life-even as dead words are made to
live IN the mouth Of the poet? Does
any one think that I hold the scene.

of more Importance than the play? The
play Is the idea. the rest only parts of
the idea. The play is what the poet
presents to the theatre today-the play
0he idea) that Is what we Of the the
atre will invent tomorrow. Is it pos
sible, then. that we should think less
Of the play than Of it's parts?"
There follows an interesting dialogue
between a stage director, who has GER
tainly listened to Socrates. and our
old friend, the playgoer of today 1.-THE
reason" says this stage director, "why
you are not given a work of art on
the stage Is not because the public
does not want 1t, not because there
are not excellent craftsmen in the
theatre who could prepare IL for you,
but because the theatre lacks the ar
tist-the artist Of the theatre, mind
you. not the painter. poet. musician.
The many excellent craftsmen whom I
have mentioned are. all Of them, more
or less helpless to change the situa-
ton. They are forced TO supply what
the managers of the theatre demand,
but they do so most unwillingly."' And
it is the artist who is to change all
this, and to breathe new life into the
ancient art OF the theatre.
