DEATH OF MANSFIELD
GREAT LOSS TO STAGE;
ESTIMATE OF HIS ART
Actor of Great intellectual Ability Who Stroye
Earnestly to Place the Stage on
High Artistic Plane

constructive actor, a psychologist
rather thar one who fathomed the
heart appeal Of any particular role.
His work was always brilliant, seldom
satisfyingly sympathetic.
No man stood closer TO Mr. Mans
field or had a keener appreciation
for the latteTs ability than William
Winter, the Nestor Of dramatic critics.
Mir, Winter, IN writing OF Mr.. Mans
fields life and death in the New York
Tribune. says:
The essential part Of the story of an
actors life, when. having achieved emil
hence and made himself important TO his
generation, he passes away, IS the re-
cord Of his intellectual development hi;s
progressive mental and spiritual expert
ence as revealed in his Representations Of
great characters in dramatic literature.
IN proportion to an actors knowledge of
human nature and human experience
knowledge that he has assimilated
through observation, thought and suf-
fcring-is the value of his artistic i'm
partment 10 the world.
Richard Mansfield was. from This
bOyhoOd, intensely ambitious, and IL
was his ambition to excel ~ the realm
OF art His youth was one of vicissl-
tude and of considerable hardship. His
purpose, at the outset. was indefinite.
He tried other paths before he entered
upon the path OF the stage; but. once
entered upon that path. he found him
self in his natural vocation. and he
launched himself. heart and soul, upon
the struggle for conquest and eminence.
He was not at any time a person Of
hayward life, pursuant OF pleasure ana
careless OF opportunity. He was earn
est, diligent. faithful, conscientious, and
true-improving every chance Of winning
distinction that came within his reach,
and he thoroughly earned and entirely
deserved every laurel that ever wab
awarded TO him
Tine development OF his mind was
the expansion OF the intellect that ac-
companies the gradual performance
Of a noble and patient spirit over re-
sentiment and evaporation at the inius-

at the Majestic Theater this week in an
excellent presentation Of Dunn as mas
terpiece. 'sMonte Christie The play
abounds in stirring situations, and from
the first to the final curtain there are
no dull or embarrassing moments for
the spectator. There Is an air OF mill
tary hustle pervading the drama, and
climaxes that attract the attention of
the audience.
From a scenic standpoint, Monte
Christie is one Of the biggest produc-
lions thus far attempted by the Fitz-
gerald players, and according to the
management there will be no disappoint-
ment In this particular The third
scene of the second act shows a raging
sea. eliminating with one of the most
beautiful and dramatic stage pictures
ever shown.

genially cast. As Mercedes, Miss Kathryn

to her style of acting. In the romantic
part Of Edmond Dantes, FRANKLIN Mum

The Round up" Most
PretentiOuS Scenic
Play.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The theatrical
season OF 19J7-ls0S Is now open. Up 10
this week there has been q lively
szirynish fire Of openings. but this week
the general engagement was fairly Join
ed and from now on there will be con-
tinuous re-enforcements OF heavy thea
trical guns to the forces Of General
Thespis, which are endeavoring 10 sep
arate the New York public from a good
Iy share or their more or less hard
earned dollars, and unless all signs fail,
which only happens in extremely dry
weather, the campaign will be success
full.
The most ambitious opening as a WORK
or stagecraft was THE Round Up"
This new play IS by Edmund Day. and
It first was presented In Chicago last
spring FOR a three weeks run. 1t made
50 great hit that the original engage
ment OF three weeks was extended 70
one OF three months.
This production is one Of the largest
KlaW & Granger ever have made, and
they have omitted no detail IN scenery
or equipment that would contribute in
any way 10 the completeness OF this
great atmosphere picture. The com
pany Is a large one and IN addition to
the leading players there is an auxiliary
interest IN the form Of genuine West
ern cavalrymen. cowboys. Mexican va
Queros, Apache Indians. and twenty COW
ponies from Arizona cattle ranges. The
personalities IN the story are, OF course
the rough and homely types Of the
ranges. but the story Is one OF true
heart interest.
The Washington times., 1907-09-01

Not since Edwin Booth made his final
exit has the American stage suffered
a loss which Will be felt as keenly as
the death of Richard Mansfield at his
summer home in New London, Conn,
Friday morning.
To say that Mr.. Mansfield was the
foremost American actor Of the con-
temporary stage is an estimate from
which few. If any, viii dissent. He was
TO the American stage what Henry IT
wing had been TO the English stage. a
man Of magnificent intellect. great cul-
ture. wide experience. and consuming
love for that art TO which he gave his
life. No one can ever doubt the sin
certify OF Mr.. Mansheld's efforts to place
the American stage on a higher artistic
plane. In producing classic plays he
spared neither expense nor heart-break-
ing labor to give his audiences produc-
tons which, represented the best that
was in him. His intense desire 10 reach
the highest standard OF his art and the
fact that he longed for proper recogni-
ton from the public for this art caused
him at times to give away to fits OF
temper which brought forth harsh criti-
cism from those who did not fully I'M
derstand the nature OF the man behind
his profession.
In spite Of HIS struggle for the best
in his art Mr.. Mansfield was never able
to win the love OF mis- audience. which
seems to be a natural heritage of many
actors of far less ability. His imperson-
aUons in many respects were given the
precision Of the scientist. a fact which
often seemed TO preclude their having
an appeal deeper than an intellectual
appreciation Mr.. Mansfleld's acting
was OF that timbre, let US say. which
could always command an outburst OF
enthusiastic applause, but which sell
dom If ever won that tribute of momen-
tary silence among his hearers which Is
the infallihle sign that the heart as well
as the mind has felt the power OF a
characters alton.
II was just this quintessent quality in
AlF. Md1sheld's acting which made IL
comparatively easy 70 analyze. He was
