General Herbert S. Hadley OF Missouri

Long Beach, where he lectured before tho
Chautauqua assembly tonight on the
subject of Modern Commercialism. In
terviewed at the Alexandria hotel on the
subject of his fight with the Standard
Oil company and kindred subjects, Mr.
Hndley said
I'VE expect TO win the fight against
Standard OIL without doubt. In fact,
our main contention that the Standard
Oil owned the majority stock In s"p-
posedly Independent companies has al
ready been established by the admis-
sions Of Standard Oil officials. The Su-
preme court Of Missouri will decide tle
case some time this fall, and II it flnis
in our favor IT may do one OF two
things-either oust the company from
doing business in the State or line II for
the offenses OF which 1t may be found
guilty. John D. Rockefeller escaped CIV
ing testimony in the case by rendering
himself q fugitive from the subpoena

Regarding the general political situa
tion, Mr.. Hadley said that he was OF the
opinion that President Roosevelt would

Moral: Be an "AngeF"

II VERY actor, actress, manager
r dramatic critic and dramatist in
49, the United States has been asked
by ambitious aspirants. How shall
get into the theatrical business?"
Oliver Morosco, manager of the Bur-
bank theater, has some advice to give
which is rather unique. Mr.. Morosco
was delivering his views on the sub
Ject to coterie of admirers the other
day.
BE an angel" was his advice, and
then he explained:
can angel has less trouble breaking
into the show business than the poorest
actor or actress on earth could have,
and there are some cynical players who
say that their experience has taught
them that it is easier for bad actor
to get on the stage than for a good one.
"The angel, without which we would
have few shows and fewer theaters,
seldom enjoys the warm, comfortable
feeling that comes from the rays of
the spot light. 1t is his Office to pro-
vide the money Often nobody except
the manager of the show knows who
the particular angel back of the show
is. The actors get their names on the
program. The people who make the
wigs and the. clothes and the shoes get
their need of printing. The author
sees his name in type, and the manager
always aITanges that his cognomen is
known. But the man without whose

into them, how 1t came to pass that the
magnet could have so crystalized it,
self into those light-rich and shadow
full eyes. The alteration of Johnny,
Dick, or Harry, or of that famous in
dividual called-any old thing; their
thunderous stampings, and the eXplo-
sions of their hands and lungs, may be
very pleasant thing for some.
"The eyes of Lillian Burkhart are not
for those things. On that particular
night, just before the curtain went
down upon them, her eyes made me
think of the verses of Walt Whitman
and Browning-of the philosophy of
Gotama. 1t may be because her eyes
melted into the artist soul which en-
braced them that a critic transformed
himself into a iackass in trying to
measure their depth. 1t may not be
all art, hoWeVer-the depth of Lillian
Burkhart's eyes. Men can dig very
deep well, true; but God alone dug the
five-mile depth of the Pacific ocean.

play, it must be explained that the
"Hoorah" is the name of a gold mine

tn Stage "House of Mirth"

~HARLES FROHMAN has signed
contracts with Mrs. Edith Whar-
- ton and Clyde Fitch by which
they are to make a dramatization of
Mrs. Wharton's novel, 1.-THE House of
Mirth."
There will be no alteration of the
story and no changing of situations, so
that the book will be presented on the
stage exactly as it has been read. The
play is practically to be the book in
damatic form and not a dramatization
in the sense of taking the features
from the book and writing a story
around them to make the work digest
ible to theater audience.
The heroine, Lily Bart, is to receive
the same treatment in the stage version
that she does in the book. and there
will be no compromise for the sake
of stage effects.
Mr.. Frohman as yet has not decided
on the company to play "The House
of Mirth," but it will be one of the
strongest he can get together. The
play will probably have it's premiere
early next September at one of Mr..
Frohman's New York theaters, and
Mrs. Wharton will have hand in di-
recting the rehearsals. She and Mr..
Fitch will spend some months in pre-
pairing for it's production.

A Janis Tribute

~ NE of the most beautiful tributes
ever accorded an actress is a
little fantasy entitled 1.-THE
Night 1 saw Her." written by Adachi
Kinnosuke, Japanese writer living in
Lillian Burkhart's sketch, "A Passing
Fancy" This was shortly before Miss
Burkhart left the stage to live in Los
pearace at the Orpheum tomorrow
night recalls the rhapsodie of the SEN
timental Japanese writer. The fol-
lowing are extracts from this word
poem:
Her feet were light upon the cres-
cent halo called footlights.' About
mosphere, if you like-with quite as
something that looked very much like
a touch of art.
For thirty minutes-that was the
time of her performance sat quietly;
laughed little. Then heard emotion
tremble into voice and the voice thrill
into the sentence:
Take those things away, Jane! They
are not needed any more now"
'The artistic was looking; perhaps, she
was staring. / cannot tell you at what
or where; perhaps, at the cruel thing
called Fate Full of tears they were;
for, at the time, l am sure, could not
see them.

AMES ]. CORBETT, the former
fistic king, having received a
~ knockout blow from the Bernard
Shaw Stanislaus STANCE comedy
"Cashel Byron's Profession" will fore
go the too intellectual drama. next sea-
son, and will show to the eager public
some good old-fashioned melodramatic
work. Corbett as Cashel Byron merely
conducted himself as he does in every
day life. and in that respect he was
plea sing. But the play was disappoint-
ing because he did not have any really
strenuous scenes, and the pugilism-
loving crowd was not attracted. Cor
bett, in the last five years, has demon
strated that he can be a very pleasing
entertainer, and with the right play to-
show his abilities he can, doubtless,
make a monetary and probably an
artistic success.
After the fading away of 'Cashel
Byrons Profession" Corhett was
greatly depressed, but Proctor, in New
York. has now engaged the hero of the
ringside for "a short season in stock,
and the latest news is that Aubrey and
Harry Mittenthal. who are extensive
producers of money-making melo-
dramas, have signed Corbett for next
season.

the Lucas baby. Mr.. Lucas is the
stage manager Of the company and
Mrs. Lucas had some three months
previously presented him with a real
heir to the family fortunes, who, after
the manner of the progeny of actor
folk, had spent much of his young
life snugly ensconsed in his bassinette
or go-cart in the dressing rooms of
the theater in which his parents were
playing. 1t was marvelouSly good

gurgling, cheerful cherub, who spent
the modicum of time not consumed
in eating or sleeping in gracious So

cheerful infantile self-possession when
he confronted the blazing footlights
u moment later. But at the fatetul
moment, the climacteric second, when
the strings of life and love and
jealousy and revenge are gathered to
a point where the infant heir in him
self centers the interest and sympathy
of all beholders-when he dominates
the stage, so to speak-the Lucas
baby, scion of three generations of
gifted actors, fell ignominously down.
Put the baby in the cradle, nurse, -

up, waiting, palpitates for the on

from the publicity even as some angels
have been known TO shrink from pay
ing bills after the show has gone where

angels are usually men who have
made their money in pursuits far re-
moved from the stage. A man who has
made his money i'll the show business
is seldom found as angel for anybody
else. If he acts in an angelic capacity
it is usually for himself. Even when
he has enough money to finance his
own theatrical ventures he is often
found at the head of a searching party
seeking for a non-professional angel.

piling up and the angels wings are
getting more and more singed. Some

success under another name. The trick
has been done. of course, but most
failures, no matter how much money
is spent upon them, remain failures to
the end.
There are angels who stick to
failures. though, as if they liked them.
An angel of this sort may be interested
in the personal fortunes of some mem
Der of the company. He may have
great confidence in the manager, or he
may be determined to make a go of
the show business even though he is
losing lots of money with his eyes open.
Empty houses daunt him not. AS
long as the ushers remain at their
posts he hopes that the public will
begin to come in. The heavy expenses
he is under seem to show him simply
that his luck is about to turn. Some
of these persistent angels win out.
Most of them do not.
angels build theaters, too, and assist
in the making of stars. TO make star
costs lot of money, but anybody can
be made into an imitation of one if
there is money in the locker. A few of
the prominent stage women have been
forced into starvation by their angel
husbands. Some of them have sue
Ceeded. Others have dropped back into
supporting positions or have taken
refuge in vaudeville. There are in
stances in which actors and actresses
have been their own angels and have
won out. but in the theatrical business
the angel that is most highly regarded
and most eagerly welcomed to the fold
is the man who has made his money
outside of the theatrical business and
who has set aside a part of it as the
chips with which he is to WOO fortune

the past week plainly showed.
The Belasco theater had to be
scratched off the list of those who saw

a. holdover. The Mason was dark for
the first three days of the week ard
only redeemed itself by giving three
days of Charles Hanford at the last.

only one of the good things Of good
