The announcement that Sarah Bernhardt, be-
cause Of the refusal of the theatres in the South
controlled by the Theatrical Syndicate to book
her. is going to play that part of the country
IN a circus tent recalls earlier day In Ameri-
can theatricals and primitive customs winch
once prevailed not only in the South but in all
parts OF the country outside of Boston. New
York and a few other cities. Even at the present
time small towns have their theatres-usually
for no apparent reason called opera houses
where plays are given by actors who were never
heard of on Broadway. coming from nobody
knows where, and drifting around the country in
the most haphazard fashion. But in the early
years OF the last century even the better players
were forced, if they made tours at all, to appear
in strange places TO travel by primitive means
to undergo hardships that to-day seem almost
too romantic, gypsylike comical to be hardships
at all.
In 1916. in Philadelphia, there was published
little book Of anecdotes and photographed
sketches written by Sol Smith, who law
yer. actor and wag and whose name has since
been perpetuated in American theatricals which
gives a vivid picture of the conditions which
prevailed in the first forty years of the last
fury Probably Mime. Bernhard will never see
this book but her tour gives tmeliness TO its
sprightly pages After ALL she will hardly en-
dure what old Sol Smith did, nor with a more
unfailing cheerfulness.
The sort OF a man Sol Smith was may be
gained from a contemporary account Of his ap-
pearance at Port Gibson. Miss, In 1928 He
and his company had dropped down by steamer
and were billed TO appear for one night. His
fame had gone ahead of him. and the theatre
was packed long before the curtain rose When
the curtain did go up. his brother. Lem Smith.
