He Knew What He Wanted

TT was not strange that two men as skilfu
L as Klein and Arthur should have been bewil-
dered; SO that when the pay was delivered to
me two months before the date of production
read it over with sinking heart, realizing that
it would not do. l knew what could accom-
plish, or at least what | wanted to accomplish;
but for the authors | was an uncharted sea-
Belasco was out of town, and though worked
over some of the material myself, could make
little Roadway Finally he returned and re-
hearsas started The play reshaped under
sweating effort; but, even SO when we opened in
New Haven it fell with dull thud. |, the new
star, the goal of whose cherished ambitions had
finally doomed just before him, was failure,
and the goal was once more far to seek.
But Beasco was not going to let his ambition
be SO easily baked. l found him a Sheridan
then,-a Phil Sheridan and Richard Sheridan
too. As soon as the first performance of The
Auctioneer" was over, new edition was in
the making. And when we reached New York
defeat had been turned into victory. We all
learned our lesson from that experience. For
instance, Klein wrote The Music Master" for
my next venture, which can hardly be called
a failure at any stage of its progress. 1t may
seem odd to think of the author of The Lion
and the Mouse failing at any piece of work j,
but it only shows that the best tailor cannot
cut garment till he has taken the measure of
his man.

A FEW
RECOLLECTIONS

MAY say that the most interesting event of
my history was being sent for by David
Belasco. That was magic day for me- 1t
meant the realization of cherished dream.-a
secretly cherished dream,-to create real char
acters in serious plays, to leave the music halls
for the upper levels And the next most inter
esting event of my history was when my first
play under Belascos management, The Auc-
tioneer,' was a failure
1t may astonish most people to hear that
The Auctioneer" was failure. But it was -
a large, fat failure, before it reached New
York. The reason is not hard to understand.
Belasco took me from Weber & Fields to make
star of me entirely on some intuition he had
that could make good serious actor. He
had no other ground for surprising SO than his
intuition, for my whole New York career up to
then had been shaped at the Casino and the
Weberheld Music Hall. And by the same token
Lee Arthur and Klein, who were commissioned
to write play for me, had nothing but intui-
ton to guide them,-and whatever may be the
case with woman, man as a rule can work
better with little experience behind him. All
they knew was that they were to build a play
around the charac- er of the Hebrew with which
had been associated for so long. Sentiment
they knew they were to give it, if possible; but
how! Be,asco had suspected the possibilities
it may have been when | played the old father
in the burlesque of Catherine" when for a
moment ceased pruning tassels off the cur
ta1ns and there was touch of seriousness not
all burlesque. But it was SO little to build on!

Remembered the Peddler

TT is an old story, how l came to play the
Hebrew peddler in New York; but it shows
we'll as anything else, perhaps, what results
come in our profession from trivial things,
almost from accidents. Accidents in rehearsal
have more than once become features of the
performance, and no actor knows when his
chance will come. l had seen the peddler
with his hat over his ears, and he had inter
ested me as possible stage type. So l had
tried putting him on the boards in a small way
on the road, with success. When | Joined
Lederer's company at the Casino, playing in
the SO called reviews, | told him that | could
put in a bit that would be popular. No, he said,
it wouldn't go with his audiences; it was too
much of a caricature. l had my own ideas
about it's being wholly a caricature; but one
own ideas don't always count for much when
they happen not to be the ideas of the man
higher up, SO kept my peace.
But when we played public ball game, in
costume, for a free ice fund, with another
burlesque company C'Thrilby," at the Gar
rick Theater, then managed by Mansfeld), |
resolved to make an experiment. | didn't care
to go on the field in any of my characters in the
Casino review, because they were not amusing
in themselves. / couldn't show off PLAYING
ball, not being an athlete, and we all, have
heard it whispered, like to show off bit some
how. So l made up in this character of the
Hebrew peddler, and peddled cracked ice as
souvenirs through the grand stand. That
night the character was incorporated into the
play at the Casino. And on the strength of it
l later went to Weber & Fields, and on the
strength of it, suppose it came about that one
day l received the fateful message to beard
Beasco in his den.

business streets during the cattle

relative to the delivery of deeds on
applications received through Messrs.
Bonham & Holt, for certain lands ap-
piled for under the act of jun q,
1898, and enclosing an opinion of the
assistant attorney general in the mat
ter.
o advise me that in accordance

After this letter in April 1906, a spe
cia1 agent visited New Mexico in re-
gard to this matter and the result of
his investigation is fully set forth
in house document No. $50.

the interior enclosing a copy of a
letter dated May 18th, addressed to

Lacey, chairman of the committee on
public lands. In the curse of his
letter the secretary states that it
would appear from Mr. Lacey's letter
that tine committee was loath to con-
slider at that time legislation looking
to the enforcement of the FESTIVE pro-
visions in the grant of public lands
to the territory of New Mexico made
by the act of June 81, 1898, but, he
the secretary, again advised against
the execution and delivery of the
deeds. Mr.. Lacey's letter is as fol-
lows:

Hon. E. A. Hitchcock, Secretary Of
the Interior, Washington, .. C.
Dear Sir:-Your communication of
May 4th to the pea 1er of h house
of representatives has been referred
to the committee on the public lands,
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-03-26

and l take the liberty of making some
suggestions in reply thereto.
Under the act of congress granting
public lands to the territory of New
Mexico. there was the limitation
quoted in Commissioner Richards let
ter, that aot more than one quarter
section of land shall be sold to any
one person. corporation or association
of persons."-30 Stats. 484.
From this quotation it is very evi-
dent that it would be a violation OF
the law to sell tracts of more than
160 acres to any person, association
or corporation under the circumstan-
ces detailed in the report of Mr.. E.
P. Holcomb which is set out in house
document No. $50, ffty-nintn congress
first session
Hon. A. A. Keen. land commissioner
of New Mexico, in his communication
of March 90, 1905, has held that the
transaction is an illegal one. and re-
fuses to become a party to it The
governor of New Mexico has thus far
not signed the co1veyances.
For the purpose of this cOmmunica-
ton l will assume TIA the transaction
is a violation of the law that Mes
srs. Bonaam & Holt seek to obtain ii
tie to land in excess of what they may
lawfully do under the act OF June Il,
1898. In your communication to con-
gress you assume also this statement
to be tru and that the transaction.
when consummated, would be a vio-
lation of the law.
The communication addressed to
you by the speaker of the house there
fore suggests further legislation to
preven the violation of act of 1898.
Reference is made in the communica-
ton to the case of immigration COM
pany VS.. County Of Adams. 100 q. s.

grant had been made to q state OF
Iowa and the Iowa legislature had
