Giacosa was a splendid reader. lecturer and
novelist. 1t was treat to hear him recite
the legend of old Vaideusan castle,

was an fdealist and was content with life
as he found it, and he found it good. Glory
and wealth were his. and he enjoyed both
with dignity and taste. In private he was
kind, cordial and expansive. He could
never say no when a favor was asked of
him, however inconvenient it may have
been to give it.. 1t was this good nature
which made him write the Dame de
Challau" in French for Bernhard. He
afterward translated it into Italian for
Duse. 1t was the least successful of all his

hair and a college pipe; the slangy chap
with more brains than conscience, and half
a dozen others were truthful representa-
lions. But whenever the story got moving
nicely some bit of theatrical clap-trap OBJ
truded itself. The last act wound up with
AstoniShing precipitancy. The story seemed
to ~gradually approaching a normal and
logical conclusion, when events begin
to materialize with gatling gun rapid

ing down on a farce comedy finish. with the
silver-haired managing editor playing ring
round-a-rosy with his rejoicing staff. Yet 1t

at the close. Better plays than The Stolen

One of the most interesting theatrical
enterprises in New York at the present time
is not performance but rehearsal. Wash
ington will this season miss the Belasco
first night that has come to be regarded as
a sort of annual event. 1t is again the irony
of fate With no playhouse in this city Mr.
Belasco fitted out his own theater to pro-
duce "Adrea'' Now with a theater bearing
his name it is found that owing to previous
bookings it will be desirable to give the
first production elsewhere. To see a bit of a
Belasco rehearsal is an experience. Here is
a stage full of people sitting and standing
about in costumes whose 42d street cut do
not in the slightest degree suggest the trap
pings of Spanish-America, which is to pro-
vide the subject for his next work. Near
the footlights is the stage manager, keep
ing his eyes on the prompt book and his
ears open for any business not yet noted
that may be suggested. In the middle of
the stage stands MI Beasco reading line
after line to the players, who are no less
eager to comprehend his intention than he
is to convey it. Out in the darkness of the
auditorium sits the author of the book and
the colaborator OF the play which is being
derived from it, and out in the wings is
luncheon, for it is an all-day session, this
rehearsal. with no intermission. The thor
oughness of the Belasco method is evident
from the very start, for scattered about the
stage are sections of scenery and pieces of
stage property which are set up from time
to time in order that a scene may be from
the very outset rehearsed with confident

Mr.. John Luther Longs artistic but I'M

The new piece treats of the American inVa-
sion of Spanish California in the late flf-

strong people there is no disposition at
present to feature any one name above the
others. In the sitting of events time may
come when a star is no longer essential
