them from the marauders. 1t was dan
gerous for anyone to leave a. town, for
the Yaquis were watching for pot
shots all over the country. But the
danger was not great enough to keep
Mr.. Snyder from running the gauntlet,
and off he started with his Indian for
a guide and followed by evil predic-
tions from everyone in camp. Strange
to say he was not molested on the en-
tire trip, although he had several indi-
cations while out of the presence of the
hostile Indians, who had but a short
time before in that neighborhood shot
five teamsters on their way to the
mines. 1t may have been that Mr..
Snyder's reputation as a man cour-
ageous in the face of his enemies and
one always ready for scrap IL neces-
sary, had spread beyond the town and
inspired the Yaquis with the fear of
respect that the savage has often mani
tested toward a valiant foe.
Exposure Causes illness
Sleeping out night after night in
cold, rain and storm, without any
shelter but his blanket, and drinking
bad water finally proved too much
even for Mr.. Snyder's strong constitu-
ton and he was laid low by an attack
of pneumonia. He was miles from any
settlement and before he could reach
any assistance his condition had be-
come serious. He recovered from this,
but it was not the last time Mr.. Sny-

FAMOUS ACTOR
PLAYS COMEDY
FOR FIRST TIME
LOUIS JAMES PREFERS PRESENT ROLE
lepicter of Shakpspearian Characters Tells How
Specialists in Drama Grow Physic lily Into
the Parts They Constantly Portray,
but Denies Mental Similarity

Louis James, the eminent actor, to-
gether with his wife and his very large
company, also couple of cars of
scenery and properties, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday from Ventura. Last
night the company played in Long
Beach for the benc1t Of the victims of
the Bixby disaster Today they will
rest, and tomorrow night will open in
THE Merry Wives of Windsor" at the
Mason.
Louis James may be considered. and
rightly, the king of Shakespearans In
America--or the 'world--today He has
played Shakespeare for the length of an
ordinary mans life, and he expects to
continue to depict the characters of the
immortal bard for many years to come.
He began, that is to say. when he was
almost a baby and he is still robust
and hearty man.
yet 1t is odd said the great player
as he sat In the lobby at the Van Nuys
yesterday. that In all my stellar career
have never before played a comedy
role such as Falstaff. True, when
was a youngster l did play that part
with some of the best of the older
generations of actors. But all by own
stellar appearances have been In tragic
parts, such as Macbeth. Hamlet, Vir-
ginius and the rest. And yet nothing
I ever played has given me so much
pleasure nor have / ever pleased my
public so well. Our tour has been one
triumphal ovation everywhere"
Too Many Musical Comedians
'Is that" he was asked, because you
are now making people laugh whereas
you formerly made them weep?"
IT don't believe that. The public
wants to see heroic play just as much
as it does to laugh. There is such q
dearth of really fine plays now, any
how, and such a plethora of musical
and nonsense shows that it would seem
a risk to attempt comedy. But like the
traditional clown who always wants to
do tragedy, have always wished to
depict comedy, and now ] am doing so.
Perhaps because am naturally jovial
chap myself l find 1t all the more pleas
ing"
"They say, Mr.. James, that you are
Falstaff-the very creature. Is that
so? Do actors assume the characteris-
tics of the parts they play?"
Mr.. James, serious betimes, paused.
Actor, Imbibes Characteristics
Does an actor assume the character
istics Of the character he plays?" he
repeated. Yes and no. Physically, I
contend he does, mentally I maintain he
does not. AS a seal leaves It's impress
sion on warm wax, so does the assimila-
ton of character leave it's indelible i'm
print upon the subject that reflects it,,
and the more the actor absorbs the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-11

characteristics of the character the
more outward evidence he Is sure to
display.
81 do not mean to convey by this that
the actor while playing a part must,
for the being, live the character. oh,
mol I have upon many occasions ex-
pressed my negative views upon this
subject; therefore it Is Unnecessary to
refer TO that here, but do mean that
by constantly depicting the eccentric
tiles or individualities of a certain part
the actor unconsciously imbibes a. por-
tion of that artifice. and 1t hardly de-
Velops un6til 1t assumes the proportion
of a reality. Now this reality may be
the result of study, affectatlon, associa-
tion or even assimilation, although the
latter cases are rare; nevertheless there
are cases upon record that disclose the
fact that this abnormal development
was acquired by assimilation.
II can cite many Instances where the
physical man has undergone a COM
plete metamorphosis by specializing a
certain line of work Numerically OPP
posite to the field of effort in which he
had previously labored. One friend of
mine in particular. who but few years
ago devoted his labors to the field of
light comedy, changed to the heavier
methods of Shakespearian drama, with
the result that today this comparatively
young man has aged to degree of
stoiclsm that is positively appalling.
He takes his stage life home with him
and lives his characters off the stage to
the extent that he has become an old
man. Another gentleman l know, who
has achieved such a phenomenal sue
cess in a certain Characterization on
Broadway, where he has been playing
for over two years that he has become
so thoroughly imbued with his char
acter study that on the street you can
single him out as the actor who plays
that part, simply by his assumption of
the outward manifestations of the char
acter he essays professionally"
"You mean Lawrence D'Orsay?"
Eyes"
Is Recent Popularity
"Now, years ago." continued Mr..
James, this was not so much in evi-
dence as 1t is today: this statement
make advisedly. Notwithstanding the
shopworn idea that the old-time actor
acted off the stage as well as on.
have been an actor for forty-two years
and know whereof 1 speak. In these
days when all branches of the pro-
or histronic-the constant association
with one line of work must naturally
leave its imprint upon the practitioner.
In the days gone by when the actor
had to assume all kinds of characters,
things were different. Then he had no
time to become so thoroughly permeated

The Noble Lover

The greatest love is the love that wells
A something from the common sight
The love that loves and always fails
To bring to pass what others might
That holds its image in a shrine,
A holy hidden sanctuary:
That makes the thing 1t loves divine
And loves to all eternity.
That does not touch, but only longs
In loneliness it's whole life through
And thinks good thoughts and writes
bad songs,
Which lonely lovers always do.
The love that makes like happiness
If only love doth near abide,
And death itself hath no distress
If love die happy by his side.

Turns Property Into Cash
Before he had gone very far in his
preliminary work Mr.. Snyder returned
to Los Angeles and turned all his
property into cash in order to put 1t
all into the mine. so great was his
faith I'm his holdings. He even sold
his home, worth $4,000, for much less
than its value, and put that money
with the rest.
1t takes money to hold mine in
Mexico. It is not like California,
where the laws are framed with a view
to making 1t as easy as possible for
the miner.

OLD ROMAN BATHS.
They Held Thenters, Temples, Feas
ing Halls and Libraries.

They Held Thenters, Temples, Feast-
Ing Halls and Libraries.
The ancient Romans We're extrava-
gantly fond of bathing. They got their
notions about the bath as Il luxury
from the Greeks, and at one time there
were nearly 900 public bathing estab-
lishments in Rome, some of which We're
the most beautiful and elaborate struc-
lures In the world.
The baths OF the Emperor Diocletian
covered more than half square mile
and contained, besides immense basins
and thousands of marble recesses, the
alters, temples, halls for feasting, prom
enades planted with trees, libraries,
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned. The
bathers sat on marble benches below
the surface of the water, around the
edge of the basins, scrap!ng them
selves with dull knives Of metal and
ivory and taking occasional plunges in
to the water.
Dissipated Romans would spend
whole days in the bath, seeking relief
from overindulgence in eating and
drinking the night before. Everybody,
even the emperor, used these baths,
which were open to every one who
chose to pay the price of admission.
ltwas not usual for the old Romans
to have baths in their houses, though
at date 1900 years before that, or
$500 years ago, the noblemen of an
Client Greece had their dwellings sup
piled with baths Of terra Gotta.

THE ART OF ACTING.

But because everybody is acting in
private life every one thinks he can
act upon the stage, and there is no pro-
fesson that has so many critics. Every
individual in the audience is a critic
and knows all about the art of acting.
But acting is gift. 1t cannot be

The open terrace in front of the De-
wan-i- Khas consists of two thrones,
the black one of which, facing the riv-l
er, was cut out Of a single slab of
stone in 1908 This black throne, which
is about eleven feet long and support
ed by octagonal pedestals, was built
by Akbar In recognition of his sons
title to the empire. Here Jchangir
used to sit occasionally and see the
fight of wild animals arranged for his
amusement. The crack on the throne
is believed to have been caused by
Lord Lakes bullet falling upon it dur
ing the attack of 1903. According to
tradition, however, 1t cracked when
the Jat king Of Bharatpur sat on the
throne, for 1t was meant to be used by
none but the real descendants of the

The natives make it trade to gather
