The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1906-03-23

The original Of Sam Weller was Sam
Vale, an English low comedian, who,
in the early part Of the last century, was
quite popular in the south of England.
In the year 1911, and for few years
after, he made quite reputation in the
musical farce called ''The Boarding
House." written by Beasley. In this
he played the part Of Simon Spatter-
dash, person who INDUCED in odd and
whimsical sayings. ''Come on, as the
old man said to the tight boot;" Il am
down on you, as the extinguisher said
to the candle;;' LET every one take
care of himself, as the donkey said
when dancing among the chickens" !"
are fair Illustrations Of his wftttctsms
In the course Of that play, the resem-
blance between them and some of the
sayings of Sam Weller being very
marked. In private life Vale was a
wit, and many good things in his own
time were credited to him. A man of
excellent temper, he had no enemies,
and the good humor which pervaded
every saying, together with the droll-
cry of his manner, gave his witticisms
unusual value. His sayings were called
Sam Valerisms, and on the appearance
Of Pickwick in 1885 the character of
Weller was generally recognized as a
portraiture of Vale. The comedian died
in 1S4S at the age Of fifty-one.

With elaboration of adjective and

that one may best appreciate the lofty ideals,
absolute purity and poetic enchantment of Fan
tin-LatOur's conceptions The illustrations of the
music Of Rossini Beroz, Wagner Schumann
and Brahms seem to vibrate with the melodies
of those composers, as if there were some mystic
unison between them and the designer. Indeed.
is there not something in common between the
genius Of Hector BerlioZ and that OF Fantin-
Latour? Both evinced extraordinary originality
Both were developments Of romanticism in its
most aesthetic mood Does not Fantin- Latour's
