MRS. LIE M0YNE ON ACTING
She Deplores the Disappearance of
Technique.

AT dinner party few evenings ago
Mrs. Sara Cowell LIE Moyne gave some
opinions concerning the teaching of
dramatic art. Mrs. lie Moyne has re-
Gently relinquished professional en-
gagements and has taken UP dramatic
instruction in New York. She said
among other things:
1T is a strange and sad fact that
stage technique has no acknowledged
masters. Where can you find d young
actress or actor who is willing to ad-
NIT that he or she has acquired pro-
flciency in the art of acting at the
hands of any instructor? In all other
arts, sciences and crafts pupils are
proud to have learned from great
teachers. But as soon as a young
player takes flight from the mother
nest with wings just able to bear his
weight professionally, he fancies him
self capable of Icarian flights into
fame. Graduates from schools of act
ing, and those, too, who have received
private instruction in stage art, in
Variably try TO conceal the fact Of their
tuition, preferring to have it thought
that theirs is a GOd-given inheritance,
and that genius burns than that Of
their own ambition.
1.-THE self-satisfaction Of the average
fledgling is the hardest thing against
which the stage manager has to fight
This fault, and the eternal combat
with monotony, are the greatest of all
difficulties with which the instructor
has to contend.
Light and shade, even if once I'M
derstood and acquired by a pupil in
dramatic art, are sadly enough not
lasting qualities generally. Young
men and women lapse into the dead
level Of the commonplace in voice,
gesture, even in stage presence, and
these faults are the surest enemy to
success on the stage.
Actors and actresses who are
thoroughly versed in their profession
have constantly to guard themselves
against the temptation of falling into
the monotone But too often the young
player imagines himself beyond the
necessity for cautiousness in this re-
gard The result is the ColOTlessness
of many of the performances given by
actors appearing In small parts.
Young players think, too, that small
parts are beneath their dignity. I re-
member one occasion when a pupil of
mine. q young woman of excellent
family and breeding, was cast for a
servant. She came to mo IN great
trepidation. How dreadful she
cried. Why. dear Mrs. LIE Moyne,
think Of their casting me for a serv-

servants. How can I possibly play

she must learn to play a servant we'll

FRANK DANIELS
ON H0LD-UPS
Too Much Lawlessness and Robbery
Going on in This Country.

Frank Daniels country house at Rye,
Westchester county, N. Y, was entered
by burglars a week ago and many val
uables were taken. including some of
the comedians choicest cigars.
Six weeks ago, when Mr.. Daniels was
playing in st. Louis, he was nearly
held up by highwaymen. Only his
ability as a sprinter saved him.
These two incidents have set the
comedian thinking.
There is altogethr too much law
lessness and robbery going on in this
country" says Mr.. Daniels. From the
petty picHpOcket to the insurance
CRATER, everybody is trying to hold
you up. omething ought to be done
about it, My business keeps me out
late nights, and sometimes I have a
good deal of money about me. I have
two or three times had narrow escapes
from sandbaggers. While we were IN
Chicago last September I got so
frightened by the stories 7 heard about
hold-ups that devised a scheme to foil
the pestiferous thieves. You know my
play, Sergeant Brue,' is based on the
experience of a policeman, and L play
the officer. Well, it just struck me that
after the performance at night / could
wear my police uniform over to the
hotel, and, with my brass buttons and
official appearance, brighten away the
burglars. 1 tried it one night, but
had hardly emerged on Jackson boule-
ward from the alley, on which the stage
door Of the Illinois theater opens when
l was held up by policeman. He
wanted to know what meant by i'm
personating an officer, and I guess it
would have gone hard with me had not
Mr.. Noonan, the business manager at
the theater, and some other friends
happened along and squared things for
me.

is dead, and accuses Edith Of the
death, which nearly kills her. But, at
last the two villains are brought to
account and Edward and Edith are
reconciled. The comedy of the play
is furnished by the characters Of Bar
ney Elliott, a would-be dramatist,
Grace Courtleigh, Barney's iancee,
and Archie a dandy coon, who is
more or less crazy on dancing, and it
is so cleverly interviewer that you are
kept in good humor from the rise to
the fall Of the curtain.
Already the advance demand for
seats for the Calve Concert company
has far surpassed the expectations Of
everybody concerned. and the Taber-
nable on Friday evening, Jan. y, will
house a tremendous crowd Of people
who are anxious to see and hear the
most famous Carmen" of the age.
The company with Mile. Calve is a
fine and capable one, and they have
been received with great enthusiasm
all through the east.
The papers have given Calve splen-
did notices, and the Cleveland Plain
Dealer said, after the concert there,
that Calves voice came out in all its
beauty IN both the wocing, lyric upper
tones, and IN the full sustained notes
OF the lower register, a voice singu-
laA!y appealing and supremely beauti-
full" The great diva has everywhere
been more generous with her encOres,
seeming to love to sing TO the vast
crowds which have greeted her at
each concert.
Every arrangement for handling the
out of town crowds has been carefully
made by the local managers, J. J. Nc
Clellan and Lois Steers Wynn Conan,
and in order TO accommodate the peo-
ule, and to satisfy the insistent de-
mand for seats, box offices will be
opened in each of the surrounding
towns, and reserved seats viii be sold
just as they are here in Salt Lake,
certain numbers of seats being sent TO
each town. The sale here opens at 10
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, Jan. 2, at
Clayton's music store, and special
plans have been made for handling
the people to their satisfaction.
Calve has never been in Salt Lake,
and her first appearance Will be the
signal for tremendous enthusiasm, If
one may take the course Of events
throughout the east for precedent.
The famous soprano VIII sing the be-
witching "Habernera" from Car
men, besides giving numerous other
beautiful selections.

PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.

The feature on the bill which opens at
the Orpheum on New Years night for
a weeks run is essentially the sketch
written by George AIDE entitled, ION
His Uppers." It Is interesting to note
that this is the only playlet written by
that prince OF humor for the vaudeville
stage. He has been asked TO repeat
his success, but apparently he prefers
TO devote his talents to comic opera
and plays of the college Widow type.
The playlet was written by Mr.. AIDE
especially for Fred Lennox, who ap-
pears here in the character of eX-Owner
OF race horses, whose lack of funds
gives the play fits name. Given a
! widow OF a rich man who in her girl
hood days sold newspapers on the
street, a butler who IL both deaf and
dumb. some good songs and dances,
and some idea can be gathered Of the
fun that awaits the patrons of the State
street house, especially as the particu-
lar brand Of AIDE slang is on tap
throughout the sketch.
A turn calculated to make a hit with
old and young alike is that OF Her
berts dogs. which indulge in some
clever stunts, including a loop-the-lOOp
act by one of the animals.
AS a song and dance feature the Es-
meralda sisters will appear with the
Four Flower Girls in an act that has
made a hit in the east.
The bill Is rich In monologue artists,
and with both Murray K. Hill and
Spencer on the programme there is
bound to be a bull movement in CYCLES
and roars OF laughter at the Orpheum.
The first named appears in black face,
while Spencer IN dress suit comes on
later and hands out what he terms
some odds and ends of comedy"
The physical culture act next week
has been placed in the hands of the
Scheck brothers. athletic entertainers
and hand balancers.,
The Kinodrome with a new set of
motion pictures concludes the bill,
which will run all week, with matinees
Thursday and Saturday.
Dora Thorne'' opens for an engage
ment of four nights and two matinees
commencing tonight. The plas of
Dora Thorne." which has been at
tracing considerable attention, is on
account of the popularity of the novel.
Dora Thorne," as a story, Is too
we'll known for comment, but 1t must
be admitted that the playwright has
improved upon the plot to such an ex-
tent that the play is far more inter-
esting than the book. Dramatic IL
cense is somewhat elastic at times TO
say the least, and in the play the
most dramatic and exciting points OF
the book are brought out with decisive
action and powerful clearness: nor is
the comedy found wanting; much
humor is intermingled with the cpl
sodes of the drama, making as a
whole a play novel and interesting in
the extreme.
A company OF players well suited to
4 their respective roles have been en-
| gagged TO interpret the well known
characters, and most enjoyable eve
ning's entertainment is promised to
