MOURN LOSS OF JEFFERSON.
Veteran Of the Stage Beloved by All
Theater-Goers.

Theater-Goers.
Joseph Jefferson was undoubtedly
the best loved of American actors. The
older generation of theater-goers re-
member him as the leading exponect.
If not the originator of new school
of acting in which simplicity took the
place Of traditional stage art and man
nerisms. The younger generation re-
members him as Rip Van Winkle, a
character which he made ever more
attractive as he grew older.
In the late sos Jefferson was asso-
ciated with the most popular players
CT the time. Those who were with
him on the stage and those who heard
him felt the influence of his new meth
cd. 1t appealed to the most artistic.
blest of playgoers.
This quality of Jefferson's playing
attached actors and people to him
when he first played Asa Trenchard,"
in 1858, as 1t did when he first played
RIP Van Winkle." seven or eight
years later. On this point the recol-
lections of Edwin Booth, Couldock
Sothern. Boucicault and Raymond as
to first impression are not notably diff
ferent from those of the unsophisti-
Gated enthusiast from the country or
the playworn first nighter of the city.
The art of Jefferson touched ali,
and certain modulations of voice and
simple gestures and poses gave keen
est pleasure every time they were re-
membered.
Only those whose memories cover
forty years can understand what JEFF
ferson's RIP Van Winkle' meant to
the generation that first heard it. 1t
was like revelation to the infre-
quent theater-goer, and did more to
break down prejudice against the
stage than any other play ever pre-
sented.
Clergymen and thousands of men
and women who had never entered a
theater counted it an event in their
lives to see Jefferson in RIP Van
Wrinkle" Men did not know why they
laughed and cried like children, and
they did not care. There was a magic
in the drama that had been there be-
fore. and Jefferson was the magician
At first 1t was Jefferson the actor
that the people loved. Then they came
to love Jefferson. the man. RIP Van
Winkle' was means of revealing to
old and young personality as whole
some in its influence as any ever asso-
ciated with the stage.
In summing up Jefferson's career
it is enough for people to say rip
Van Winkle." Called upon to give
him rank among the great actors of
the world. ninety-nine out of a hun
dred people would count it superfiuous
to say more than RIP Van Winkle."
And yet RIP Van Winkle" would not
mean so much to the world. could not
hold first place in SO many hearts, mad
it not been for the consummate art,
the genial spirit. and the simple
human nature Of the very human old
man who died at Palm Beach on Sun
day.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
