strandlne of Company Leaves Them
Without Cent and the "Star"
Is Compelled to Seek
Work In a Hotel

Three little pickaninnles with am
bitions to become thespians are strand
ed here, while the "star" of the COM
pany is working in hotel trying to
raise money enough to send the young
sters back to their "mammies' in Den
yer.
The "star" is Miss Josephine Wal
lace, and she says she feels badly over
the untimely ending of the stage
career of the "Darktown Daredevils."
One of the boys, Dewey Hayden, was
sent to his old home, but the others
are "just ahangin' around" The
largest one, George Ellkins, called upon
Assistant City Prosecutor Eddie yes
terday and asked for advice, work or
money-preferably money.
Tired of Play Acting
"Ah done tell yer dat dis yere play
actin arnt no good" he said to the
patient city officer.
"Ah wants ter get back home, ah do.
Dis we're town haint no use fo' me. An
could sing an dance an wuz acomin'
along fine, but now ah wants ter quit
der stage an fetch washin' fo' nah
ma"
Elkins has been banded about from
the Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals to the Associated Char
ities from the League of American
Freedmen to the Humane society, and
back again. He has been advised to
seek work and advised to go home. lie
has been yanked off freight cars while
trying to beat his way back to Den
yer and told to move on by the police:
"Suh ahm plumb discouraged like
he complained. Dis lady wat tole us

lodgin' house an she can't help us.

If der coppers won't feed me-
Mr. Eddie cheered the lad as we'll as
he could and told him to seek the
proper authorities and they would Sc
cure work for him.
Star Says She Is Sorry
Miss Wallace told Mr.. Eddie that she
was sorry for the plight of the pick
aninnies and would save up enough
money soon to send them home one
by one. She expected to play on a
small vaudeville circuit but her plans
miscarried and she blameS a theatrical
manager for the present stranded con-
dition of her little troupe. She had a
fetching little sketch with four colored
boys doing a singing and dancing
speciality.
II never will dare to face the parents
of these poor little fellows" she said
yesterday. II know that it is not my
fault but the boys have been shame
fully abused. But I will get them
home if it takes every dollar L can
earn in the next year"

TRAGIC FINALE
Minister Who Reads Burial Service
Over the Unfortunate Thes-
plan Also Drops to Grave
Corpse

Nellie Stewart, the talented Austria
liam actress who is starring in Sweet
Nell of Old Drury' at the Mason this
week, has had some of the most mar
velous experiences of any woman ON
the stage.
Manager George Musgrove, who is
making his first trip through America
with one of his Australian companies,
recounted some of them last evening
and Miss Stewart added a few herself
in the spare moments she had between
acts.
Miss Stewart has had some really
terrible as we'll as many beautiful ex-
periences,' said Mr. Musgrove. Il
think perhaps one of the most awful
occurred in Melbourne Australia. She
was singing Marguerite in Faust at
the Princess theater.
1--WE opened for a months engage
ment and she sang for twenty-four con-
secutive nights, something which no
other woman has done.
"The tragedy which came near to
marring the whole engagement oc-
CURED on the first night Signor Fe-
derici was singing the role OF Mephisto.
He had heart trouble and was never
sure what moment he might succumb
to the disease. He had a special pocket
in his costume, where he would always
have dynamite pills to use at sec
ond's notice, dynamite being one of
the most powerful heart stimulants in
existence.
Predicts His Death
Before he went on the stage that
night he complained of feeling worse
than usual. I will finish the perform
ance and then I will die he said. /
stood in the wings watching, every
minute fearing for the worst.
when he came to the last scene
when Faust goes down the trap to hell
he stepped through and fell to the
bottom of the ladder-dead. That was
Saturday night. Theaters always open
on Saturday night in Australia. Mon
day the house was closed. We attend
ed the funeral services, and just as
the clergyman was reading the service
at the grave / saw the book tremble
in his hand, then fall to the ground. A
moment later he too fell, suddenly
stricken with paralysis.
''I picked up the book and handed it
across the grave to the great actor
Charles Warner.
HE read the prayer as I have never
since heard it read, and when he had
finished there was not a dry eye in the
q company.
"The next day had to coach a new
man in the part of Mephisto, and he
absolutely refused to 20 down the trap
so l had to procure still another man
for the part.
"The strain was terrible for Miss
Stewart, but she went through the
whole months engagement, giving
wonderful performances"
