CHILDREN OF THE STAGE.
Restrictions Under Which They
1ppear-What Then Earn.

The theatregoing public is apt to look upon
Ehild actors as and exceptional phenomena
The prattling darlings that skip about the stage
and move one to tears or sympathetic laughter
seem to be happy accidents Such grace fnno-
renee and juvenile gayety ought to be derived
from nature rather than studied art. 1t is
somewhat shocking at first to learn that the
young histrions toll for weekly salary, have
records like veteran players, rehearse their
roles most diligently, apply grease paint to their
cheeks unassisted and are as eager for applause
any adult performer.
"Oh, mamma, l didn't get a decent hand III

The fact of the dolly indicates that sophistca-
tion has not entire possession of the child
players soul. In truth. it is not easy to est
mate the exact state of innocence and knowl-
edge Everybody knows how easily youngsters
pick up phrases they do not understand, and the
tendency to make believe, or act, is said to be
primeval instinct
There are now on the New-York boards hair
a dozen juvenile players, most of whom have
had previous experience Some have brief parts
in two syllables but make up for 1t by hugglng
and kissing while others speak long sentences
and largely sustain the interest Of the piece

several groWn-up parts at the same Tune by

a stammering elder. This happened in The
Prince Chap" AS for self -possession the
youngsters rarely lose it; they are not as self
conscious as adults, and, while throwing them
selves into their parts with all abandon do not
overlap the bounds of art Every trick of the
trade-pausing for emphasis, expected applause
or laughter hurrying lines and neatly varying
business-is known to them.
severe critic might say that there is
mechanical element, a patiently initiative effect
whenever children are intrusted with too seri-
Gus parts; and a grown-up can better enact
tragic role than child, who is naturally in
capable of grasping deep concerns. Which only
proves that the playwright is at fault in as
signing such parts

a child is advertised for, more seldom still does

ent "Moltke" of the German army,
Count HaeseIer, went into the regi-
mental canteen and asked for 5
cents worth of bread and sausage,
such as is supplied 10 the ordinary
soldier. The man in charge thought
he would do himself a good turn by
handing the general an extra large
piece of either luxury. Later in the
morning, when halt had been called,
the general ordered the soldiers to
produce the rations supplied by the
canteen for ) cents. Naturally
