In compensation for his absence from
founders night, and in. honor of women
friends of the players he was pres
ent and contributed to the pleasure Of
ladies' day whenever possible. Upon the
23rd of April 1900, he made very wit

present and repeated the same pleasant
observance of the day the following
year. The necessity of spending the
winter in a southern climate has pre-
vented him from being present in the
club house, except for occasional brief
visits. in recent years.

AN ACrOR AT THREE.
Sketch OF the Father of American
Stage.

Stage.
More than 70 years ago a man. made
up to represent an eccentric and agile
negro, walked upon the stage of the
Washington theater. He carried a large
bag. The contents Of the bag he
emptied upon the stage, the contents
being little boy who was dressed in
exact imitation of the man.
Then the boy and the man danced
and sang. The boy, however could not
pronounce the words distinctly He
was only 4 years old. The man was
Thomas D. Rice, the original Jim
Crow The boy was Joseph Jefferson.
Joseph Jefferson, ofttimes described
as the father of the American stage,
came honestly by his title. He did
more, perhaps, to soften the dull reali-
than any other player. He was born in
Philadelphia February 20, 1923 He was
fourth in descent of a line of illustrtous
comedians and was half brother to
Charles Burke, also famous comedian,
who died young. But of all the actors
in his family, Joseph was the greatest.
Began Acting at Three.
Jefferson's performance with Rice
was not his first appearance on the
stage. At 3 years he was the child of
Cora in "Pizarro." at the Washington
theater. Here also he had already Civ
en- infantfle limitations of Fletcher, the
statue man. When ne was s years old
he was playing the part of a pirate at
the Franklin theater in New York.
Jefferson was 20 years old when he
went back to New York and played at
Chanfraus National theater. There,
also played Miss Margaret Clements
Ioclzyer, a bright English girl of IL
years, who became Mrs. Joseph Jeffer-
son Nav 19. 1850. The next year JEFF
ferson was at Niblo's Garden, in the
same list with Lester Wauack, Blake,
Mrs. John Drew and Charles Wheat
leigh. Then he turned manager and

Just arrived in England. by way of
Panama. There was story OF
Washington Irving's called rip Van

basis for half dozen or maybe a

Rip. The judgment of the English
public was confirmed in America.
