Mother Goose

Mother Goose" the big Drury Lane
spectacle, which will be seen for the
first time in this city at the Mason
opera house the entire week of Mon
day, January 30, with two matinees, is
said to be a drama of fairyland, and
no fancy picture of childhood ever
conjured up such a living moving
spectacle of beauty that invests the
stage with childhood imaginings. OF
course, all the massing of pretty wo-
men, superb gowns and ideal environ
ments is an intoxicant to the eve, and
the constant rattle of modern iests
and catchy popular airs to please the
ear, does divert the eattenton from a
nursery legend pure and proper, but
every now and then the demon, the
fairy queen, the good Colin and the
golden egg-laying goose come into evil
dence, and then it takes us back to
days when cats and owls and all sorts
of things We're animated by the souls
of fairies, and the queer antics of the
animals are feast to jaded safety.
Remembering nursery lines is one of
the Chief signs of election, it shows that
you are still a child; that you haven't
forgotten the days of games and
dreams when your spirit was too
sportive to be satisfied with a world of
facts, so made its own world of fair
les. That's the kingdom of children.
Nearly every one leaves it afterward,
but the elect always hold their place
there. They never forget the games
and dreams. That's what gives dis
tinction to their humor and imagin-
alton. charm to the point OF view.

The Real Stage

Written for The Herald by Frederick Warde.
There is peculiar fascination for
the general public about life on the
other side of the footlights, and this
fascination has furnished the illustra-
tor and the novelist with endless sub
jects-most of them removed as far as
possible from the reality. Who of us
Is not familiar with the greenroom
and the dressing-room pictures that
are printed in some of the weekly pa
pers? What delightful places those
pen-and-ink apartment are, They
are almost exactly like the representa-
tions of Fifth avenue drawing-rooms
with an added dressing table and a
makeup box. With an ideally jolly
and happy life those printed actresses
lead! Wine flows like water; they sit
palpably in uncomfortable positions
calculated to shrow their exaggeratedly
Well-rounded figures to the best possi-
BILE advantage, and they are always in
the seventh heaven of ecstatic bliss.
Handsome men in immaculate clothes
pay them courtly attentions, and in
return they permit their admirers to
drink wine out of their Cinderella slip
pers. Banks of hothouse flowers and
baskets of choice fruit are scattered
about and the air fairly reeks with
what is supposed to be typical stage
life.
Now if some enterprising young man,
in search of novelty, would only draw
or describe a series of scenes of real
stage life as it is known to profess
sionals perhaps we would hear of
fewer stage struck young women and
the number of resting" actors might
not be so distressingly large. A few
scenes representing the real dressing
rooms, even the ones occupied by lead
ing actors in so-called first-class thea
ters, would be good beginning; and the
passenger room of a railway station
showing the company after a tiresome
performance waiting for the 200 a. m.
train, which is two hours and a half
late, would be another pleasing SUBJ
ject. The arrival in the next town
shortly after sunrise and the chorus
girls looking for genteel but inexpen-
sive boarding houses would present an
unsupported phase of the life of those |
jolly maidens who at night skip lightly |
across the stage wearing pretty gowns |
and the kind of smiles that would ap-
Fear in these realistic pictures.

can now do is to maintain the level
they have gained in this, their climax
of beauty spectacles.
There is a strong inclination to assert
that the fancy and brilliance of "L'Art
Nouveau" has never ben equaled, while
"The Land of Heartsease" and the
transformation scene "Contentment,"
with it's marvellous showers of glitter
ing, golden rain, are pictures that rank
with the best of those that have gone
before and will be hard to excel in any
that may come after.
1t is not, however, the gorgeousness
or the grace of these three big acts
details and important ones. With the
hundreds of beautiful women lavishly
attired, their graceful ballets, tabeaux,
marches and processions; with the
clever specialties and hosts of come
lians; with that prince of funshters,
Joseph Cawthorne, in a character that
brings out all that spontaneous humor
that this comedian has become famous
for; with his amusing confreres, Harry
Kelly, W. II. Macart Clifton Craw-
ford, Neva Aymar, Corinne, Edith st.
Clair, Edith Hutchins, Walter Stanton
and Dawes and Seymour, who con-
stantly add to the revel of fun, and
with the marvellous aerialists, the
Girgolatis, whose premiere, at the
end of the second act, causes the audi
ence to hold their breaths in stupe-
faction when she makes the remark

Nv Wife's Pio.

After spell Of serious quietude,
my wife said to me: "Silas, l want
a pig, I am feeding half-dozen of
worthless dogs for you and the boys,
and l would much rather feed pig
for myself" I tried to impress upon
her the idea that the pig would be
the source of more trouble than
profit. l thought, as she made no re-
ply, that the scheme had been aban-
doned. I know, however, that she
had a peculiar knack of carrying her
point, and was not surprised, few
days later, on discovering in the back
yard a diminutive pig in hen coop.
I said nothing, but kept an eye on
the pig. I was astonished at the way
It thrived. It soon outgrew the mar
row confines OF It's coop, and built it
q comfortable sty. Though my wife
never called on me for more than one
bushel of corn, that pig by December
turned the scales at 300 pounds.-Re'
